Matt Damon not happy with Pres Obama???

He is calling him out for his education policy. I'm not going to be able to watch the Piers Morgan show Thurs night to see the interview tomorrow tonight.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/02/matt-damon-calls-out...

This is not the man he voted for.

Matt Damon sat down with Piers Morgan for an interview that will air Thursday night, and among other things, talked about his feelings on the first two years of President Obama's administration. During the 2008 Presidential campaign, Damon was a vocal Obama supporter, campaigning for the then-candidate at rallies, promoting him through aMoveOn video contest and attending fundraisers for him.

Now, he's not so enthused about Obama. When asked if he was happy with the way the President is running the country, Damon said, point blank, "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. "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.

For the full interview, tune into Damon and the rest of the cast of the new film, "The Adjustment Bureau" on "Piers Morgan Tonight" at 9 PM EST on Thursday.//

    Normally Hollywood Liberals out number the INTELLECTUAL members of the community by 500 to 1. I can name the Conservatives on both my hands actually. Rarely does one cross over or speak up and say HEAR HEAR. So Yeah for this one. Youth causes one to do many foolish things. I did several. Being surrounded by IDIOTS full time and having the GIBBERISH and PROPAGANDA contractually flowing into ones brain can not help. These people are hearing LIBERAL SOCIALIST Crap day and night like an IV DRIP into a cancer patient. Their friends, their directors, their UNIONS, etc. They DO NOT LIVE IN A REAL WORLD! This is La La Land. Thank God this one Awakened. Perhaps he can help. LETS ENCOURAGE HIM PLEASE! Send him all the good news you can. WE NEED MORE like him and perhaps a few others will WAKE UP!! Cat

    First of all, since he's from the hollyweird side of life he has no idea what reality is anymore. He makes a goof ball statement like we are tying teachers pay on how the children perform on test. Instead of seeing the real problem, the teachers unions are failing our kids, no mention of that. He's a hard line liberal, like most folks from hollywood. He's mad because Obama didn't do enough of the left-wing agenda they put out for him. Mr. Damon didn't recognize that most americans didn't agree with the direction from Obama, thats why he got his butt kicked in the mid-term elections. So I know with him being upset over Obama right now, doesn't mean he's finally seen the light, just the opposite he wants more of the left agenda. I stopped listening to these people long time ago, I even stopped watching their stupid shows like Oscars, Emmys and all the others. If Mr. Damon really cared about children, he should watch the documantary, "Looking for Superman" . You notice this movie got no play from hollywood or the media because the truth hurts. Rent the DVD, its worth it.

    First, Obama did not have a mandate. He won by 5% of the vote.

    I said it after the 2008 election, Obama will have more trouble from those to the left if him than those to his right.
    Schools are doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing. That is electing an illegal alien as president and see the wisdom of destroying the US.

    I have the odd feeling there are many liberlas in Tinseltown who are not happy with this prez. I have to wonder if they are afraid to speak out since so many of the producers themselves are liberals. They speak out they just might not get that coveted part. No?

    It's difficult to say. I thought most owners of the big movie/tv were republican like disney but who knows. I don't pay that much attention to celebrity stuff normally. Although, I did for giggles google Oprah to see if she felt the same was as matt damon and in Feb, she was quoted as saying the President should be rec'ing more respect than he is...

    Actually, the author of this blog took the most least known actor... for he could have chosen Robert Redford! He called Obama, "A Coward President" in his interview!

    Guess more than just a "few" Libs don't like him as much as they thought they were going to?

    I have a theory that the 0-bots try to defend the indefensible because it is difficult
    for them to admit they were bamboozled. This may be one person, Matt Damon,
    who is ready to say that. Being a high profile person, it just might give other
    snookered 0-bots the courage and honesty to say they were bamboozled. It isn't
    easy to admit you may have put your country in danger because you bought the
    empty rhetoric and hype........... I think it is a good start. Let's if others
    will follow with some honesty. I think it is reluctance to admit they have been
    taken in by the "Madison Avenue" packaging of a rather audaciously ambitious
    black man, who took advantage of a long standing white guilt, that makes them
    so nasty and tenacious in their defense. The approval polls say 37% of the respondents
    still support him; that is still high considering the demonstration of incompetent
    leadership, and a DOJ who speaks in terms of "my people" and picks and choose which
    laws he will enforce.

    damon should have admitted that he went in with his eyes closed. That he got caught up in the hype and didn't realize that bama never said what he stood for and what he did say was a big fat lie.
    Then maybe I might believe he has seen the light. or is that "seen the Right"?

    So nope I'm not convinced once a Progressive Liberal most always a Progressive Liberal, they don't rehabilitate that quick.

    Cat,
    Damon no longer supports Øbama because he's not far enough Left and failed to deliver on things liberals live for.
    Gitmo's still open. Troops still in Iraq. Tax cuts extended for everyone. Not having a clear exit strategy in Afghanistan. Damon is no different than Michael Moore, Janeane Garofalo, Danny Glover or Alec Baldwin.

    I know what you mean Cat. I was raised to be a liberal. Yet here I am a Constitutional conservative. My liberal relatives (the ones who haven't already disowned me), rarely talk to me. And when they do, it's to tell me how 'selfish' I am for having my own "Sole ownership' Business. Talk about la la land!

    Honestly, I'd be more interested in hearing what my neighbors and friends thought. It's a free country so Matt has every right to exercise his 1st Amendment rights to speak his mind. But I've got like a couple thousand episodes of Jeapordy that I need to catchup on before I have time to listen to what he has to say about the job Obama has done.

Sorry part is, is that there are a lot of nitwits out there who take their word as law because they are celebrities and these jerks use their celebrity status to influence people who ain't so bright.
