This proves something that needs proving. These Hollywood guys are idiots. Obama pushed through health care reform, which has been going on and on...for 50 years? And his reward is...what? Low approval ratings. This guy has gone as far as he can with what he's got. It's just plain unfair to put it any other way. When he said "let's roll back the Bush tax cuts" they fought it tooth and nail to extend it.
So we will...take in less money in taxes...and somehow support the great unfunded pension bloat that has taken place throughout the 50 states? Americans are a big bunch of babies. Crying about taxes. Wah wah wah. Grow UP America. I call on YOU to grow up. Right now!
I'm sorry to be so political. There's a good "Simpsons" on now. Otherwise, I would like to see this Matt Damon run the country for a day. Where he doesn't have bottled water. Peace out to my people!
Is President Obama losing support in Hollywood?
In an interview set to air tonight, actor Matt Damon tells CNN's Piers Morgan he's unhappy with the president. Asked point blank if he thinks the president has been doing a good job running the country, Damon simply replied, "No."
"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,'" Damon said, referring to the title of Obama's political memoir. "He's doubled down on a lot of things, going back to education ... the idea that we're testing kids and we're tying teachers salaries to how kids are performing on tests, that kind of mechanized thinking has nothing to do with higher order. We're training them, not teaching them."
The criticisms count for more than standard-issue celebrity belly-aching, since Damon was one of Obama's earliest and best-known celebrity supporters during the 2008 presidential campaign. The actor and Oscar-winning screenwriter appeared at fundraisers for the Democratic candidate and hit the campaign trail on Obama's behalf.
This isn't the first time Damon has criticized Obama. Last year, the actor told reporters he was "disappointed" and "a little let down" by the president's leadership--but he was quick to add that Obama deserved more "time" to work on things. Apparently, Damon no longer feels that way.
And he's not the only one. Over the last year, a growing number of Hollywood types have publicly trashed the president's record on everything from gay rights to his failure to close a military detention center at Guantanamo Bay.
