Matt Damon has slammed Obama again okay
he's been on the record doing this a
couple times but recently he had an
interview with Elle magazine and he had
the following to say he said I've talked
to a lot of people who worked for Obama
at a grassroots level one of them said
to me never again I will never be fooled
again by a politician he also continues
to say you know a one-term president
with some balls would actually who
actually got stuff done would have been
in the long run of this country much
better any talk about how Obama had
promised that he would rather be a
better one-term president than to try to
scheme his way into to terms and not do
as well and he's like he just didn't
deliver on that promise
and that goes the first part of his
quote where so many people are
frustrated that he turned out to be just
another politician look the core what
Matt Damon is going after there and what
he's a hundred percent right about is
that Obama ran the campaign on a central
promise that he said I don't want to
play the same old politics just a little
better in fact that was literally one of
his campaign ads and he said it did
almost all the speeches I want to change
the way Washington works and as soon as
got in office he said I don't of course
I'm not gonna change the way the
Washington works on a high the same
exact establishment guys Tim Geithner
Ben Bernanke Rahm Emanuel Larry Summers
the first quote about people feeling
despair and saying never again never
again I mean that that is tremendous
damage to the to the voting public you
know a lot of us I mean I feel the same
way and I've left Obama's train a long
time ago but I feel like I was
completely hoodwinked I've got a fool
yeah and I feel like never again right
and that's sad because the next person
that comes on and says the same thing
might actually mean it but people like
me won't care won't try and we've given
up here at least for now maybe I'll be
really inspired I don't know but for now
that's how I feel know that that's
actually a big tragedy it is but it's
actually a logical conclusion and it
doesn't mean you should despair and give
up hope it just means that don't buy
into almost any politician within this
system right so if we change the system
so that for example there's public
financing of Elections so that the
politicians aren't hooked on donor money
in law
this money to get reelected well within
that system could you have a politician
who actually means it we assure you
could is far more likely but until we
get that systemic change with a
politician comes our girl girls I feel
your pain all over the judge over work
now you're right in your logical to not
believe the hype okay and Obama had
great hype and when he didn't deliver on
it everybody feels you know rationally
that what hope is there within this
system right and it's it's true Steve is
true of a lot of us is true of Matt
Damon and I keep going back to that
quote of that girl that I talked to at
the airport who was about 27 years old
works as a hotel uh I think she's a
clerk at the hotel at some Hotel in
Northern California not that into
politics but Obama got her excited
she said we want up in a conversation
she says she's not gonna vote in 2012 I
said no don't do that why are you not
gonna vote and she said after Obama what
is there left to hope for right and that
it's like a perfect quote for the
frustration that we all feel and by the
way that's exactly why there's a poll
out today saying forty six percent of
Americans think that there is no person
that they can vote for in this election
it's a new record in 2008 we all have
that hope it was at 11% meaning a great
majority the country thought Y like one
of these options is a good option right
now we think these options leave us with
actually no option at all and God if
it's Obama versus Romney the left side
of the corporate robot versus the right
side of the corporate robot oh yes there
are differences but what unites them
unfortunately is what's terrible for the
country
