Default Woody Allen says give Obama dictator powers

and tell's all who oppose to gtfo :rofl:

Woody Allen has a strange take on the democracy that allowed him to become rich and famous.
The "Scoop" director said it would be a cool idea for President Barack Obama to be dictator for for a few years.
Why?
So he could get things done without all the hassle of opposing views getting in the way.
In an interview published by Spanish language newspaper La Vanguardia (that we translated), Allen says “I am pleased with Obama. I think he’s brilliant. The Republican Party should get out of his way and stop trying to hurt him.”
But wait - there's more!
The director said "it would be good…if he could be a dictator for a few years because he could do a lot of good things quickly."
Of course, Allen has a famously strange relationship with reality. The director took nude photos of his lover Mia Farrow's teen-age adopted daughter Soon-Yi Previn, and then ended up marrying her after separating from Farrow.
Farrow also said he molested their seven-year-old adopted daugther, Dylan. A judge refused to act on the charges, but called his relationship with Soon-Yi "grossly inappropriate."
Perhaps that judge has an opinion on Allen's "dictator" comments?
does this guy have any concept of what happens with dictatorships and the principles this country was founded on ... i guess not

Considering Allens parents were holocaust survivors I would think that he of all people would be against a dictatorship.

Oh well he fucks little kids too so his word means jack shit to me.

I understand his point of view. It seems like our government has a lot of trouble getting things done. The two parties are always fighting it out and undermining each other. I still wouldn't go far enough to want a dictatorship tho.
