Matt Damon dismisses Barack Obama as 'one-term president'

Matt Damon has taken another swipe at Barack Obama and dismissed him as a "one term president".

By Paul Thompson

7:49PM GMT 21 Dec 2011

In his most ferocious attack to date, the Hollywood star vented his anger at the President's failure to bring about change in America.

He said: "I've talked to a lot of people who worked for Obama at the grassroots level. One of them said to me, 'Never again. I will never be fooled again by a politician,'".

"You know, a one-term president with some balls who actually got stuff done would have been, in the long run of the country, much better."

His latest attack was made in an interview for Elle magazine to promote his new film "We Bought a Zoo."

Damon, 41, was one of the biggest Hollywood stars to stump for Obama during his 2008 election campaign.

He attended fund raising events and was vocal in his support for the Democrat who was elected on a mandate of "change" and "hope".

But over the last year the "Bourne Identity" star has changed his opinion – and been more than happy to publicise his disenchantment.

In March, he criticised Obama's education policy, saying "I really think he misinterpreted his mandate.

"A friend of mine said to me the other day, I thought it was a great line, 'I no longer hope for audacity.' He's doubled down on a lot of things."

This is a bad sign, considering almost everything out of this idiot’s mouth is wrong.

Zer0 hasn’t been liberal enough for Matt. But you can bet Matt will vote for him next year.

But it won’t change the votes if it’s just Obama running. These people never learn.

Poooor widdle Matty-poo! Do you mean you were fooled by a snake-oil salseman, a con-man, who put one over on you?

Poooor widdle Matty-poo...

I smelled the stink of affirmative action on that charlatan the first time he spoke. Too bad you Hollywood losers are nothing but vapid, empty vessels that no-talent screenwriters and and less talented directors pour recycled pap into and call it “film”. Maybe if you were the least little bit self-aware, you could have figured that out yourself.

Loser.

When it is nasty outside I hope the weather CHANGES. but I always hope that it chages for the better.

Changing from rain to a blizzard is worse, but it is change.

When they say they were hoping for change- it needs to be asked- change to WHAT?

Obama said he would “fundamentally transform” the USA- ok, TRANSFORM TO WHAT?

NO ONE EVER ASKED HIM IN 3 YEARS!

But we cvan guess... Everyone he grew up with is a socialist, his entire staff is socialists, his books are all about socialism... He talks non stop about ‘sharing the wealth’... Let’s take a guess- Socialism?

Is this Hollywood libtard hoping for more change to socialism? or just to a better economy?

He never lied. He said he would bring about change. There has been change all right. Businesses that we thought would be around forever have gone under. The world no longer just hates us. They point and laugh first. We have more racial and political issues now. Senior Citizens that socked their money into retirement funds for the future are now as broke as if they had never saved in the first place.
No one ever said the change would be good.

He’s only saying this because he wants more people to see his movie, he knows if he kisses Obama’s ass less people will see his film

My fear is that it’s one term, for life.

One nitwit dilettante criticizes another - humor ensues.

What could anybody possibly expect from a man for which the presidency is an entry level position? I really don’t understand what Democrats thought Obama would do. It’s like they thought gold bricks would start shooting out of his rear like the goose that laid the golden egg.

'Never again. I will never be fooled again by a politician,'

Whatever. Truth is, those numb-skulls haven't even began to scratch-the-surface of how much they are being "fooled".

Here's a clue: community organizer is not qualifications to be POTUS. Yeah, I know there are waaay more important clues; but sheesh, how hard was that clue.
