(Sept. 10) - Calling the possibility of Sarah Palin being elevated to the presidency in the next four years a "really terrifying possibility," actor Matt Damon condemned the GOP's newest rock star as too green for the job in a new, no-holds-barred interview.
In it, the "Bourne Supremacy" star called the media swirl around John McCain's VP pick "like a really bad Disney movie" and openly questions whether the "folksy stuff [Palin] learned at the hockey rink" will go over well when she's "facing down Vladimir Putin" and other world leaders.
He also makes it very clear he wants to know Palin's views on Earth's history, and whether "she really thinks dinosaurs were here 4,000 years ago," apparently referring to the Alaska Governor's creationist views, adding "because she's going to have the nuclear codes." Watch the Bold Video:

President George W. Bush.....my life was good under the 10 years of your Leadership. Family members were getting new homes like never before.....I bought two brand new cars, always had a good job. Then the elections came up and as we heard the names Obama and McCain.....those last six months of your Presidency went down hill immediately!! in preparation for the big "Change".You were a superior leader of the U.S.A. without any help from Hollywood, Media, MTV. and on top of that the 9/11. I am a witness to all this and I speak the truth. I know better than to let MSNBC speak for me.

The economy of America was purposely destroyed in hopes that it would help Obama get elected. He's been elected. Now what??? What are you going to do to fix the damage you've created????? Is this great big Hollywood production being set up so Obama comes out looking like the Super Hero of America in two years???? Even though Americans will lose a lot of their money, homes, and jobs....Hollywood will say it was well worth it....it got Obama elected.

As a Governor or Senator or any type of Leader...I'd never use my media tv cronies or my people to put down or make fun or bully my competitor during an election. I would have stood up and corrected that type of behavior. This was the most rigged election I've ever seen. Sarah Palin was too honest and to Genuine to be mixing in with the likes of Obama, McCain and Lieberman and Clintons, these are dirty dishonest politicians are out for themselves. They'll never give up their seats in the White House. They save it for their children and family and friends only. New fresh faces? Forget that. Thats why our country is in the shape it's in.

I think Damon is just another one of those all too familiar "nuts about myself" actors, who thinks he knows everything there is to know because he has had some success and made some money. Not a great actor either.

I heard from someone I really trust that Matt Damon is gay. Nothing wrong with that, however I wish stars would be more honest. If they are going to be out there using their celebrity to push their values I think they need to be more honest about who they are. Matt you should be proud of who you are.

I agree with Matt Damon, this folksy dip shit (Palin) IS scary as a V.P Especially considering McCains age the last thing we need as a country is a"maveric" with the same personality and clueless mentality as "W". GO OBAMA!
