Woody Harrelson Compares A Pre-Scandal Obama To Nixon

The Politico headline has actor Woody Harrelson declaring himself an anarchist and that’s what’s drawn the buzz. But his comparing Obama to Nixon and his rationale may be even more interesting. I’d also suggest it’s the better headline Politico opted to not use.

DETAILS: So you dislike Democrats as much as you dislike the GOP?

Woody Harrelson: Its all synchronized swimming to me. They all kneel and kiss the ring. Who’s going to take on the oil industry or the medical industry? People compare Obama to Lyndon Johnson, but I think a better comparison is between Obama and Nixon. Because Nixon came into office saying he was going to pull out of Vietnam, and then he escalated the war. A lot of us were led to believe that Obama was the peace president, but there are still, I think, 70,000 troops in Afghanistan. Corporations like Grumman are so powerful that—I dont know, is this the kind of s— we want to talk about? Its making me depressed.
