Matt Damon had some harsh criticism for Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican nominee for vice president. Matt believes that the selection of Sarah Palin as the Republican nominee for vice president could end up “like a really bad Disney movie” if the Republicans win the election coming up in November of This year. First off, Damon points out the fact that there is a one in three chance that McCain won’t last his first term. That would result in Sarah Palin as the next president of the United States. “It’s like a really bad Disney movie, “‘The Hockey Mom.’ Oh, I’m just a hockey mom from Alaska, and she’s president, she’s facing down Vladimir Putin and using the folksy stuff she learned at the hockey rink. It’s absurd.” says Matt Damon. Damon believes the public needs to know more about her views on things such as creationism and censorship. I found it hilarious when he says “I need to know if she really thinks that dinosaurs were really here 4,000 years ago. I want to know that. Because she’s going to have the nuclear codes. I want to know that and I want to know if she tried to ban books. We can’t have that.”
Matt Damon isn’t the first person to back Barack Obama. Many people of Hollywood are backing Obama such as rapper Ludacris, singer Usher, Actor Robert Deniro, comedian Chris Rock, actor Samuel L Jackson, actors George Clooney and Ben Affleck, Oprah and the list goes on.
