Actor Matt Damon campaigned hard for Obama in the last election, but now is not so sure.
Matt tells Elle magazine he has had second thoughts: "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. If the Democrats think that they didn't have a mandate—people are literally without any focus or leadership, just wandering out into the streets to yell right now because they are so pissed off. Imagine if they had a leader."
Damon has a history of supporting and producing left-leaning television projects like History Channel's Howard Zinn’s “A People’s History of the United States.”
