Obama's Newest Advisor - George Clooney



How George Clooney offers his 'good friend' Barack advice on Iraq | Mail Online

Quote:
‘George has been giving him advice on things such as presentation, public speaking and body language and he also emails him constantly about policy, especially the Middle East.

‘George is pushing him to be more “balanced” on issues such as US relations with Israel.

'George is pro-Palestinian. And he is also urging Barack to withdraw unconditionally from Iraq if he wins.

‘It’s a very risky relationship. His hope of becoming America’s first black President depends heavily on winning over conservative voters and it would be suicidal for him to be perceived as a tool of a Hollywood Leftie, which is how they regard George.

Obama's not a leader, but he plays one on TV.

how did that stuff get in the news? Obama can't be very happy about that.

yeah, this posed with the rock star ads probably works out badly for him.

Makes sense to me. One actor giving advise to another.

not as much as just pointing out that he has added a new ridiculous member to his legions of foreign policy advisors and that he has another lunatic friend that he'll have to disown in the next few months.

Based on his last film this might be a better option....and I am a fan of George Clooney's acting.

gross exaggerations.

is this supposed to be damning?

god forbid he should actually listen to a friend who has some experience dealing with humanitarian crises. and have the right to completely disagree with him too.

There is no gross exaggeration here. How many foreign policy advisors does the man have?

Pretending that Clooney's experience is of any remote value is almost funny, especially after the idiot advocates immediate, unconditional departure from Iraq.
