Spanish actor Antonio Banderas surprised CNN viewers when he criticized US President Barack Obama and suggested Europe and the US should apply the same economic policies as Venezuelas late president Hugo Chávez.
During his talk with Spanish journalist Ana Pastor, Banderas was asked several questions about the current financial crisis and possible solutions to it.
The Malaga-born star pointed the finger of blame at the markets, the lobbies, the big corporations and suggested they didnt have to take responsibility when countries and governments had problems.
Were not being governed by the people we voted for, he told Pastor.
How do you put a stop to that? she asked.
You break it like Chávez did in his day, you get all these big corporations and you nationalize them, answered Banderas in the midst of a deafening silence.
There was no other way out, he added.
The Hollywood actor also criticized the USs President Obama for not fullfilling his promises during his two terms in office and succumbing to the pressure of big business and financial markets.
Antonio Bandumbass, welcome to the banned celebrity club
I suggest we “nationalize” Antonio’s assets and see what he thinks about that!
Looks like antonio needs to change his last name to bandito. Another uber-wealthy asshat preaching what’s best for us peons. Didiot!
OK Antonio, let’s start by nationalizing Hollywood and the entire entertainment industry.
LOL! Now that’s funny. The stars wouldn’t shine to that now would they? As I recall, a certain past power got rid of a whole lot of actors when they took over. But then again, a lot of the current hollyweird crowd toes the same line as the “lyin’ king” so they’re probably safe.
There you go. Feed him dog food and make him live in a hut with a tin roof in Caracas.
Tell him to nationalize Melanie’s lips!
Someone just went full retard.
They self-nationalized themselves to the Communist-Fascist Democrat Party (though they get to keep all the “profits”).
Tony goes from big-time actor to pint-sized pundit in one sentence.
How quaint.
Indeed.
Looks like playing Che Guevara in Evita went to his head.
Reminds us of the parable of “The Rich Young Ruler” that Jesus taught. The proud young man told Jesus he had kept all the commandments, so Jesus told him to sell all he had and give it to the poor. “And the man went away sorrowful.”
Every Follywood “entertainer” who tells others how to live should be told the same thing.
"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt"
Antonio Banderas = Spanish Sean Penn = Dumbass
It is time to nationalize Hollywood.
Another genius actor.
Go sit with Sean Penn and Tom Cruise. I’m sure you will have an enlightening conversation.
He’s a commie Jim.
Banderas should go ask Maria Conchita Alonso what she thinks about what Chavismo has done for Venezuela. He’ll get an earful.
