Woody Allen Wishes Obama Were a Dictator

Yep, Woody Allen (ya know the guy that married his Asian stepdaughter?) thinks this whole democracy thing is really cramping Obama's style. He suggests Obama could do a much better job if her were a dictator. Another great idea from one of our nations greatest minds. Oh Hollywood, is there anything you can't do?

Obama as a dictator would be great, but I have an even better idea. What about an oligarchy composed of the Hollywood elite? These people have a lot of time and money, so they can afford to sit around and think about how great they are, and what we lowly peasants are doing wrong, and how we should be living our lives. Can you even begin to imagine more qualified leaders? Not me. What do you say Hollywood?

From the LA Times:

The notorious and formerly funny movie director Woody Allen is apparently frustrated with the cumbersome operations of American democracy too.

The one-time-father-now-husband-of-his-daughter tells the Spanish-language magazine La Vanguardia that the United States' Democratic Smoker-in-Chief could accomplish a whole lot more from his White House if he didn't have so many disorderly, annoying people objecting, distracting and criticizing him all the time.

Such social messiness has been known to occur in functioning democracies, even cinematic ones, although less often on celebrity-strewn movie sets under the direction of a dictatorial director.

"It would be good...if (Obama) could be dictator for a few years because he could do a lot of good things quickly," Allen is quoted as saying.

Allen is also said to have said:

I am pleased with Obama. I think he is brilliant. The Republican Party should get out of his way and stop trying to hurt him.

With healthcare and the economy now fully fixed, no doubt one area in urgent need of sweeping Obama-style reforms would be targeting movie reviewers who write negatively about Hollywood. Or about its politician favorites.
