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".

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."

You’re quoting matt damon? Man, you are scraping the bottom of the barrel now. I hope the GOP isn’t as desperate as you are.
Proof, that, an infinite number of slugs pounding on a type writer for an infinite amount of time would recreate Shakespeare. Out of the mouth of slugs, pearls of wisdom.
Our Congress is about as close to DUELING as one can get.......we are 16 TRILLION DOLLARS in debt, with no end in sight. I could go on but I have to go to dinner....
Is THIS CRAP enough CHANGE for you, Matty????
I hope so. I have not seen anything with that asshat in it since he made those ridiculous charges that Palin tried to burn books and thought dinosaurs roamed the Eath 6,000 years ago. All were things he read on some left-wing blog, but he was too stupid to realize it was satire! But he did attend Harvard for 10 minutes, so he must be really really smart!
I disagree that obama hasn’t changed America..I only hope it can be fixed.
LOL!! I can’t hear any mention of him without saying out loud or in my head (if I can’t say it out loud) “MATT DAAAYMON!”
zero cut damon to the bone with his negative remark about his movie. That’s what got damon’s knickers in a knot.
The broken clock tells the correct time once a day.
Guess some of America’s fashion-plate celebrity Lefties are abandoning the Sinking Ship.
No matter, Obama could utterly screw the pooch (as he has pretty much done), and ninety-eight percent of America’s Blacks and Latinos, as well as the bulk of homosexuals, reporters, and academics would still vote for him, simply as a matter of Color Politics.
That voter base is about as hardcore as year-old cement.
Same here! I keep thinking that "MATT DAAAYMON" (LOL!) will be flying to North Korea to crash the Kim Jung-Il funeral! You just know he's dying to pay his respects to the Dear Dead Leader.
Not that he’s voting Republican, mind you.
Is mat just sorry Dick Obama is not as radical as he had hoped?
Heh heh heh. If Hussein loses Hollywood, it will be hilarious.
feh... movie actors, is there anything they don't kn ow???
My last one was Good Shepherd. Walked out. To say he is overrated does not come close to getting it.
For once I agree with Matt Damon and hope he’s right.
I think the headline misquote Damon. Nowhere does he refer to Obama as a one-term president.
