If Barack Obama doesn't win November's presidential election in the United States, "you can kiss the Democratic Party goodbye", the actor and director Robert Redford told an audience in Dublin last night.
Speaking at a public interview in Trinity College in advance of his conferral with an honorary degree by the university today, Redford said he hoped Obama would win because while John McCain "represents yesterday", the Democrat embodied the sort of change America needed.
Asked by Michael Dwyer, film correspondent of The Irish Times , if he was looking forward to "regime change" in the US, Redford said: "Yes. Where my country is at the moment, I'm not confident of anything. I'm hopeful.
"I think Obama is not tall on experience . . . but I believe he's a really good person. He's smart. And he does represent what the country needs most now, which is change."
"I hope he'll win. I think he will. If he doesn't, you can kiss the Democratic Party goodbye . . . I think we need new voices, new blood. We need to get a whole group out, get a new group in."
The 71-year-old American is best known for his roles in Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid , The Sting and All The President's Men .
He won his first Oscar as a director for the emotional family drama Ordinary People in 1980.

“Redford said he hoped Obama would win because while John McCain “represents yesterday”,
Yea, well so do you Bob.
I can only hope it’s true...
“”I think Obama is not tall on experience . . . but I believe he’s a really good person. He’s smart. And he does represent what the country needs most now, which is change.””
Don’t forget “hope!”
Redford is a punk leftists pig. He has made a couple of decent movies and a bunch of clunkers. He has aged worse than Betty Davis did.
The Obambi has what, 149 days of experience in federal government and this, this neophyte is the best the Dimocrats can present?
Betty Davis was intelligent and witty, charming and suave. Redford is nowhere near the class of Betty Davis.............
Obama wants to bring back the Progressive ideas of the 1930's.
I'm not a big John McCain fan, but McCain is more of a 21st century politician than Obama is. Appeasement is a 1930's idea. Confronting Islamofascism is a 21st century idea.
Not to worry. The GOP is doing it's best to take up the slack. (roll eyes)
This is proof of the crack in the windshield of the Democratic Clown car!
Half of the party wants to "go back" to 9/10/01 mentality, while the other half wants to march,(in formation) into the future with B Hussein......... we're gonna need a bigger bag of popcorn.
I think he can ... I hope he can ... I think he can ... I hope he can ...
Sounds like Redford is about to take on the role of "The Little Engine That Could ".
Amazing that these leftists can even tie their shoes.
Dublin...is that in America?
Change you can believe in !
Like I give a crap what this goof ball thinks (Redford)
...and I am quite hopeful.
Who cares what an old has-been thinks?
Did you like the movie: Spy Game?/Just Asking - seoul62......
True, but I do find it amusing! ;-)
