Jon Voight: Obama "Bringing Us To Chaos And Socialism" (VIDEO)

Fresh off making headlines for calling President Obama a "false prophet" at a GOP fundraiser, actor Jon Voight appeared on Bill O'Reilly's show Tuesday night to continue pressing his case against Obama.

After a quick name-checking of Julius Caesar--as in Obama thinks he is a "soft-spoken Julius Caesar"--Voight got down to business, making the case that Obama is "a fellow who's bringing us to chaos and socialism." [scroll down for the transcript.]

O'REILLY: Wow!

Here now, Mr. Voight.

So what -- what is your essential beef, when you just cut down -- it

was a long speech you gave -- with President Obama?

What -- what's the main complaint?

VOIGHT: Well, it is essentially this, Bill, if I had to break it

down. We were warned by Hillary Clinton that he had no experience, that

he had no qualifications. We were warned by his now vice president, Joe

Biden, he had no experience. So he was a novice.

And now we're getting what we could have expected, if we had

listened. We have a fellow who's bringing us to chaos and socialism.

O'REILLY: I don't see any chaos. In Iraq he's pretty much doing

what Bush did. He's keeping the soldiers there. There may be chaos

when we start to withdraw, but right now it's...

VOIGHT: The chaos I'm speaking of is economic chaos.

O'REILLY: OK. But let's stay -- let's stay with foreign policy and

we'll get into...

VOIGHT: OK.

O'REILLY: ...because you made some points about Julius Caesar, wants

to convince the world. Obviously, you feel he's naive and idealistic.

VOIGHT: Well, I feel he's weak.

O'REILLY: You feel he's weak?

VOIGHT: Just exactly why we have this muscle-flexing from Korea.

Nothing's happening. They...

O'REILLY: What would you do, though?

I mean, you know, we've talked this over. It's a very tough

situation in Korea.

VOIGHT: Well, this is -- there must be a response.

O'REILLY: What kind of a response?

VOIGHT: Well...

O'REILLY: See, now we're getting into a really tough area.

VOIGHT: No -- are you -- do I have the experience to say something

that deeply needs to be said?

I have a, you know, a head on my shoulders, and I can think of a few

things. But certainly they should be let to know that there are going

to be consequences.

This is not 24 Jon. This is real life. Oh, by the way, love your suit!

[Bude]

Wake me when he's through.

[GolfingDevil05]

His own daughter won't listen to him... why should I?

[jsgaetano]

Career advice from Jon Voight is about as useful as career advice from Eric Roberts.

[GolfingDevil05]

Well, at least Eric Roberts can say he was in "The Dark Knight" last year. I'd listen to him before I listen to Voight.

[mcantwell]

CHAOS! Run to your underground bunker Mr. Voight, for the next 4-8 years please, and don't come out until then.

[rf dude]

O'Really is the warmup act.

Expect to see Mr. Voight again soon, shilling his upcoming movie (or book, or whatever) in another venue (possibly even Jon Stewart, gasp...)

Tweedledee and Tweedledum, I'm really glad I don't watch Fox. Apparently these two nit wits have lived on another planet the past eight years. Chaos is what we being brought back from, and the unregulated give away of a third of a TRILLION dollars of TAX MONIES by "W" and 'Lord Palpatine" is the single largest SOCIALIST expenditure in our history. Intellectuals these two aren't.

[BalancedEgg]

Yo! Mr. Actorguy! Make yourself useful and run for governor of California.

[iamvalid]

Didn't this guy make a movie once?

[rf dude]

Yeah: Runaway Train - how fitting...
=============================

[Bude]

1968 I believe.

[Easyrollins]

It's obvious that this man reads a script in real life too.

[Lasnoe]

that's funny.... The only man reading from a script who actually has real power is Obama..... You don't want to take the argument there..

[Easyrollins]

When the script is written by you is called life, when the script is written by someone else it's called being a republican

[SARGE1]

Honestly what did he say ? He gave not one answer at all No Experience ? What has shown that this is The Down Fall for him? What has Obama's Lack of experience done Negative ? Voight had Nothing. On Korea he never stated what should be done at All ! He was like an Air-Head nothing to even debate,

-Obama talks about boosting the economy.... yet he raises taxes.... yes yes i know " but 95% aren't going to see tax increases" that's a lie.... the energy costs that are going to go up alone will make you wish your income take went up instead.

-Obama talks about how we have to be responsible as a nation, yet he rewards those who were irresponsible and lied on their mortgage applications by allowing their principle to be adjusted and punishes those who actually were responsible by not allowing their principle to be adjusted....

-Obama talks about how the auto makers went under because of the unsustainable debt they owed..... Yet Obama's "economic" plan is going to increase the nations debt by 2 trillion alone this year and about 14 trillion in about 10 years.... doesn't sound too responsible does it....
The major part of the debt the auto makers were in was because of the social programs the auto makers were forced to take part in..... i say forced because the unions would blackmail with strikes.... 100% pensions for the rest of the retirees life???? how can any company sustain that... those are democrat philosophies....

Nothing but double talk from Obama..... what was bad for GM is somehow going to be good for our nation????? .... see thats amateur talk!

But i neverthought Obama's goal was to improve the economy... he wants to change economy to something less....one that produces less and inevitably will employee less... Obama isan ideologue....

[SARGE1]

1. How has Obama lied? I have a Tax cut in my Paycheck, You didn't get yours? Show me where the Tax increase was taken out of your Paycheck?

2. I Guess The TARP Program Was Obama's And Not Bush's Plan Now. TARP Was Bush's Plan Not Obama's The GOP Love Rewriting History !

3. The Economic Crisis Is Bush's Fault and Not Obama's He is Spending Money to Fix the Problem instead of letting a catastrophic Failure across the Board. If the Government did not front Capital to these Banks Millions of Americans would have be jobless and on the Street. Again Bush started giving the TARP and Bail-Out Money not Obama. American Unions have protected workers for Years and when a CEO Make 364 times the Pay an Average Worker makes when just in the 1970s it was on 24 times, then they run Companies into the Ground because of Pure Greed Pleas Spare me ! You have to Spend Money To Make Money That is the Law of Economics. The TARP Money is a Loan let's not forget that.

Please Read:

An average Chief Executive Officer paid 821 times minimum wage earner, who earns just $5.15 per hour. CEOs earns more before lunch on the very first day of work in the year than a minimum wage worker earns all year.

Acting Fame?,,right old Fa..,,,as a 72 yr old,,i know,,old fa..s,,,,,,Is this News worthy in any way?

[RocknRollChef]

Who cares what Jon Voight thinks. But the truth is, George W. Bush and his out-of-control failed policies have created the environment that is forcing Barack Obama to make the policies he is making now. He is doing this out of necessity to regain control, not out of choice. Jon's a short-sighted and uninformed republican who hasn't done the work to research the truth.

[Skyhawk]

I see why Angelina doesn't speak to him.

[LibraLady]

I was thinking the same thing!
Good Thoughts & Best Wishes to Angelina!!

[lw1899]

I was thinking the same thing.

[quantumspin]

Dear Angelina: "RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[patriot76]

repubs so remind me of those vegetable people in The Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

[darkelflass]

So...am I overlooking something here? Did Voight ever make a point? Give a complete answer to a question? Or is this the typical flame throwing response you'd come to expect from someone in the GOP? I'm hard pressed to understand why these people insist on making rabid, inflammatory comments when they have nothing to back them up with. Jon, this is real life. Not 24 or a Transformers movie. No one is going t provide you with a script that makes sense, so if you can't do it on your own, SHUT UP.

[SARGE1]

Thank You I Agree 100% The Man made No Point of Substance at all. Honest His Points were Empty because he made No Points At All ! All he stated was Obama was bad and Zero to Support it His Lack of experience had proved Negative in what way? Please that is so Lame !
