Matt Damon: Disappointed in Barack Obama

by at .

With one word, Barack Obama lost the enthusiastic support of one of his most famous supporters last night.

Asked by Piers Morgan if he's happy with the way Obama has been running the country,"Matt Damon simply replied: "No." He then elaborated:

"I really think he misinterpreted his mandate. I no longer hope for audacity."

The Adjustment Bureau star cited education as one area in which he believes the President has failed.

"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."

In 2008, Damon often appeared at fundraisers for the Democratic candidate and hit the campaign trail on Obama's behalf. Watch him criticize the Commander-in-Chief in the following video:

    "He's trying to clean up the mess that Bush left America with." Incorrect. Obama is making his own mess worse. This agenda started with the Democrats taking power in 2007 and grew in power in 2009. Compare where we were then to where we are now.

    What do people mean Obama is not doing anything or that he lying? He's trying to clean up the mess that Bush left America with. So don't bash the person who's cleaning.

    It is so easy to be Monday Morning quarterback. We can all say what we will or won't do. Matt Damon needs to stick to movies, becuse I doubt if he could walk in the President's shoes.
