FULL TITLE: Robert Redford on Obama: 'Like So Many Others I'm Beginning to Wonder Just Where the Man Stands'
Barack Obama's Hope and Change ether appears to be wearing off on Robert Redford.
On Friday evening, the Oscar-winning actor and environmental activist published a rather scathing piece at the Huffington Post about the man Hollywood blindly put all its faith behind in 2008:
One reason I supported President Obama is because he said we must protect clean air, water and lands. But what good is it to say the right thing unless you act on it? Since early August, three administration decisions -- on Arctic drilling, the Keystone XL pipeline and the ozone that causes smog -- have all favored dirty industry over public health and a clean environment. Like so many others, I'm beginning to wonder just where the man stands.
After listing his grievances with recent Obama environmental decisions, Redford concluded:
I have to believe that President Obama still knows it's important to protect clean air, water and lands. Like so many, I'm waiting for him to stand up for all that. I'm waiting for him to stand up for our future. But we can't wait forever.

What a racist jerk!
Sorry Rob, you were duped just like every other hack liberal into thinking Obama was something more than just a waffle-eating, vacation-whoring wannabe two-bit dictator.
But thank you for playing.
Oh noooooooo’s when you are starting to lose Robert Redford!!! Oh the humanity....hehehe!
I like how Redford hides behind the all-inclusive "we" and "many". Can't even stand up and speak for himself.
Idiot hollywood dopes waking up out of thier dreamworld.............for a moment
Many on the left are asking WTF....and that’s NOT “Winning the Future”.
All these liberals are hypersensitive about clean air, water and earth. We already have good laws and enforcement on all this. But they care so little about the filth being put into the human culture and the effects that we will realize from this very soon.
What Bob Redford wants is not good for the rest of us.
Well, sir, he stands on the golf course. Lots. And I am not sure that is a bad thing.
When the Libs turn on Libs watch your back.
Hey Redford:
Got your resort built in the pristine areas of the Wasatch Mountains & then you get a big case of Enviro attitude???
You are a NIMBY of the first degree...and a jerk.
Clueless Hollywood liberal Commie.
He will still donate the max and vote for mr obama, dont fool yourselves!

just a little buyers remorse - he’ll get over it when the time comes.
“All these liberals are hypersensitive about clean air, water and earth. We already have good laws and enforcement on all this. But they care so little about the filth being put into the human culture and the effects that we will realize from this very soon.”
Happening already, see: Dancing with the Stars.
But seriously, you mean Hollywood believed a politican’s campaign promises? Pretty naive.
Redford is an idiot. A whining idiot.
Then Redford is as bad as the people that supported Obama because of his skin color.
I guess it never occurred to Redford that just about all of us want to protect those things. However, "protection" does not preclude wise use of the resources, and does not include banning things you don't like.
I have always wanted to do a mash up of all of redfords movies as he is the same one dimensional pretending to be a multidimensional actor. You would not be able to tell the difference between the roles other than set change and time contexts.
