Obama's got Woody Allen's vote ... for dictator

Do people actually pay attention to these Hollyweird types?


This is from Fox:

Woody: Obama for 'Dictator':

... director says President Obama should be given dictatorial powers for 'a few years', GOP should 'get out of his way' ...


Let's see. Woody Allen? THE Woody Allen? Does he still have credibility?


But then, let's get inside the head of your average voter. Credibility means nothing. It's star power, baby. Which is why folks actually pay mind to what Barbra Streisand and Woody Harreslson -- and Woody Allen -- have to say. That's why they keep voting for California's action-figure-turned-Governator.

Obama officially P.O'd in wake of spill

From the Associated Press:


Obama pledges permit review, end to cozy oil links

Workers wear protective footwear as they comb the beach at Dauphin Island, Ala. Friday, May 14, 2010. The community was bracing for a possible land fall of an oil spill caused by the explosion of BP's Deepwater Horizon oil platform more than three weeks ago. (AP Photo/Charlie Riedel)AP - Declaring himself as angry as the rest of the nation, President Barack Obama assailed oil drillers and his own administration Friday as he ordered extra scrutiny of drilling permits to head off any repeat of the sickening oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Engineers worked desperately to stop the leak that's belching out at least 210,000 gallons of crude a day ...


OK. I don't understand something.


PrezBo sat on his thumb for how many days after the spill started, did nothing, and now he's ticked? 


God forbid a real emergency -- a 9/11 type, for example -- should happen while he's on the golf course. If that should happen, nothing will get done until he's finished putting.
