Matt Damon: Obama ‘Broke Up with Me’
Matt Damon had some harsh words for Barack Obama Thursday.
When asked by BET.com how he feels the President is doing in the second term, Damon said, “He broke up with me”
MATT DAMON: He broke up with me. There are a lot of things that I really question, you know: the legality of the drone strikes, and these NSA revelations they’re, you know, it’s like, they’re, you know, Jimmy Carter came out and said we don’t live in a democracy. That’s, that’s a little, that’s a little intense when an ex-president says that. So, so, you know, he’s got some, some explaining to do, particularly for a constitutional law professor.

Damon has been a passionate public supporter of Barack Obama and is confident that his healthcare reforms will rescue America from the iniquities Elysium dramatises. But Edward Snowden’s surveillance revelations have just emerged when we meet and, Damon admits, “It just seems to have taken this weird, Orwellian turn. It’s surreal. I don’t know where we are now.”
He does, however, have a theory about how these developments have happened under Obama’s presidency. “I think it’s tough for guys who weren’t in the military,” he says. “One, their manhood is kind of challenged on some level, I imagine, and they allow themselves to get bullied. And two, they’re just politically afraid of either looking soft or looking incompetent, so they overcompensate.”

In an interview with the Guardian, Damon complained that some of Obama’s moves have “disturbed” him. In another dig, the actor once told Elle magazine, ‘“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.”
Obama is well aware that he hasn’t lived up to Damon’s expectations.
At the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in 2011, Obama joked, “Matt Damon said he was disappointed in my performance. Well, Matt, I just saw ‘The Adjustment Bureau,’ so right back atcha, buddy!”
