Matt Damon made the comments during an interview with Elle magazine

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.

I know you all hate Damon but this really looks like a great family film.

be sure to instruct your children that the buffoon on the screen is a fake. A fraud. A leftist America hater who earns his living imitating normal Americans. The irony will delight them!

I went to see Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows this past weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it.

My next movies will probably be Red Tails next month and then Star Wars: The Phantom Menace 3D and Acts of Valor in February.

Whatever floats your boat Mears.
I’m just saying I don’t like being played for a sap by an industry I can’t stand.
So I don’t let them shear me anymore.

Lighten up.

There are actually more than two hours in the week for all those other things———and I’m retired.

Sit down,relax,and have a good cup of tea. You seem to need it.

It looks like a decent movie. You will see it especially if you have children. He said he won’t vote for Obama again......why so upset with an actor?

If I had allowed my dislike of liberal politics to influence my movie consumption, I would never have seen The Descendants, George Clooney's new flick. It was quite good--heartwrenching, but also humorous. The teen actress who played his daughter delivered an Oscar-worthy performance, and I hope she is nominated. She practically stole the movie, but Clooney was quite good, also.

Better not read fiction. It's make believe you know. I guess you think Ben Hur sucked if you even saw it. Or the old DeMille Ten Commandments.

Geeezzz. Calm down Francis(that's a movie reference from Stripes). So you may not understand it. You strike me as the type who had an epiphany and now wants to converted the converted. Nothing scarier than a born again conservative. Welcome nonetheless.

[prof.h.mandingo]

convert the converted. Sorry.

Matt and all his Commie buddies will knock each other down to vote for Barry Hussein and they all know it. I am sooooo sick of Hollywood.

We’re doing “Sherlock Holmes” this Saturday and “War Horse” the following week.

Saw “Young Adult” last weekend and “Hugo” the week before.

“The Descendants” and “The Debt” were a couple of faves this year.

Just a couple of grandmothers,movie,and early dinner.Nice.

Born again? I don’t remember y’all working on the Goldwater campaign. I’ll have to check my notes. Sheeeeesh!
