Its so divided now with the people that are so narrow and so limited that they would take us back into the past, Redford said. And I was trying to figure out, why are these people behaving so stupidly? Why are they behaving so horribly that its crippling our whole country? And I think it has to do with fear. I think its a group of people that are so afraid of change, and theyre so narrow-minded that some people -- when they see change coming -- get so threatened by change, they get angry and they get terrorized, and then they get vicious. I think thats who these people are. Theyre so afraid of change that theyre behaving miserably. Obama is a compassionate man who cant function in this political environment, Redford said. It is so decrepit, it is so paralyzed, and the worst of it is it is paralyzed by intention, he said. There is a body of congressional people that wants to paralyze the system. I think what sits underneath it, unfortunately, is theres probably some racism involved, which is really awful. Obamas opponents reject whatever he might propose because their determination was to destroy this person, Redford said. They wanted, if it meant destroying the government, anything to keep him from succeeding. I think just the idea of giving credit to this President, giving him credit for anything, is abhorrent to them, so theyll go against it. Never mind that its the better good of the people, never mind that theyre supposed to be in office representing the interest of the public. Theyre representing their own self-interests, which is very narrow and in some cases bigoted. Robert Redford--10/13 I think it rings true!
