Oliver Stone: Obama No Better Than Bush
Filmmaker Oliver Stone, director of big screen conspiracy movies and dark films about presidents John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon and George W. Bush, told HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher Friday that he won’t be taking on Ronald Reagan as a subject for a biopic.
“By doing the ‘W’ movie, I kind of put all my efforts behind dumbness,” Stone said, referring to Reagan.
"Nixon always said Reagan was a dumb son of a b---- and, you know, I think that he was. He later added, “And you know, I really think George W. is dumber.”
Stone, who executive produced a 2001 television movie, "The Day Reagan Was Shot," also asserted: “I do think Nixon is the father of Reagan, and I think Reagan's the father of Bush. There's sort of a very strong line.”
Stone also characterized President Barack Obama as no better than his predecessor, referring to Obama’s early presidency as “a sneak Bush administration with different words.”

Oliver Stone no smarter than a box of rocks ....
San Jacinto: Oliver Stone no better than a pile of sh!t.
Mr. Stone is also a lousy American.
He’s made lots and lots of money by deriding his nation.
This must be one helluva country that will allow dumb SOBs like Mr. Stone earn a fortune by excoriating the finest nation in the world.
He’s a bum.
I just wasted 1 minute reading what Oliver Stone said. Never again.
What’s the matter Ollie? Do you have “voter’s remorse”?
Oliver “Cement-head”
Oh for Pete’s sake. Here’s a garden hose, Stone. Go snort some coke, support the narcoterrorists and shut the hell up.
Stone: “Reagan was dumb. Bush was dumber. Obama is dumbest.”
I dont believe Stone calls his own shots, on anything. Its the big moneyed Soros types that finance his conspiracy drivel that do. In Hollywood, he's about as unique and free thinking as a bucket of stones.
He’ll be a dictator when he gets the Dem’s to repeal the two term presidential limit ... he’ll then be like Chavez, president for life ....
I think Oliver Stone and Michael Moore are the same person. They have a combined IQ of less than 100.
Just think about it Oliver Stone and Michael Moore two times the ugly and two times the stupid.
Logically speaking, one must concur with this twisted Oliver.
Obama, indeed, is certainly no better than Bush - much much worse, perhaps, but definitely not better.
This is of no suprise. Obama did what many pols do. They appease their more radical base to get the nom and then carry them along in the general only to screw them over when they get elected. The question is when we see more big wig libs start coming out against Obama. Then followed by the media. Big ifs, but will be telling signs if it happens.
Guess that hopey-changey isn’t working for Oliver Stone.
