Robert Redford on the American political landscape: "Wake up, folks..."
Talking with the magazine about the new special edition DVD release of "All the President's Men," the Oscar-winning director also had fighting words for the American political landscape.

Redford, who played reporter Bob Woodward in the 1976 film, said when you pick up the paper, "there's a Watergate every day."

"I don't think anyone's connecting the dots and saying to the public, 'Wake up, folks, because you could end up in a totalitarian nightmare, wondering what happened to your country,'" Redford told Newsweek.

Shows how many jobs the US does not have and how they are all going to other countries.

We are in a job depression and the corporate media is telling us the economy is great.
