"CBS News RAW": Actor Matt Damon criticizes Alaska governor Sarah Palin, citing her inexperience in national politics and comparing her candidacy to "a bad Disney movie."
True. Matt Damon is telling the world that someone like Sarah Palin hitting the white house would be a scary thing. Rural, uneducated people wanted an outsider from washington. Instead they got someone similarly incompetent to Sarah Palin but has a ton of money. Ignorance + money = disastrous

+ImaZaphod Really? All that I saw was the mental disease of liberalism. We have been saddled now with the worst modern day POTUS in history all due to losers like damon. Just another Hollywood scumbag.
Tim Holt By definition, Obama is most certainly not a "liberal". He's more center right or moderate conservative. You're also way off about the worst POTUS in modern day history. Do you even read? I mean, at all? Or even history for that matter? Check your facts: us-presidents.insidegov.com/compare/2-39/Barack-Obama-vs-George-W-Bush And let's not forget one of the most outrageous crimes against humanity and the subsequent rise to power of ISIS directly related to the Iraq war. So before you say "Really?" to me again, check your facts.
Note: I did not vote for Obama and I highly disagree with many of his actions, but to say he's the worst POTUS in modern history is simply not factual.
All the political experts experts on Fox News in 2008 declared Palin to be the second coming, while Hollywood actor Matt Damon declared her to be a boob. So seven years later who had the proper assessment of the former governor.?
***** She has certainly possess skills at fleecing teabaggin sheep like yourself. In regards to Obama, I guess you are too poor to have a 401K account or you wouldn't ask such a stupid question.
What’s actually funny is during this time the presidential nominee (Obama) had less experience than palin, so his gripes about experience was idiotic. Then he just made fun of her for being a hockey mom. The guy was/is an idiot.
@@brandontatum2937 Less experience? Obama went to Harvard law. U would have better luck getting a ticket on the space shuttle. Its the QUALITY of experience that counts. Palin was PR move that backfired in the end.
I'm surprise to how how half of the comments are just spiting "homo" over and over? Is Matt Damon gay? And what would that have anything to do with his words?
I feel sorry for all the brainwashed marxist in America. It started around 1962. Karl Marx admitted 5 years before the Communist Manafesto that he revered Lucifer Do your research. .... LUCIFER and BEELZEBULB and ASTEROTH are the unholy trinity. Antichrist religion
Most of the nasty comments (if not all of them) are from the same guy. He's using different UA-cam accounts, making all these comments and giving himself the thumbs up. He's on a couple of videos, go check out the John Cleese video about Sarah Palin. If you look closely, you can see that he often uses the same pictures for different accounts... I think he uses a special computer program or something like that...

Thank you Matt for standing up for your country!!! Whether you're a Democrat or Republican, u agree that unqualified people dont belong in this great country's government.
While what he said was certainly both obvious and completely condemning of Sarah Palin, I find it fascinating that he didn't even need to mention anything at all about the kinds of policies she was liable to back, lol. We dodged a serious bullet in that election. Maybe Obama isn't the ideal president, but no one can say that he isn't intelligent enough to think through the hard problems that have come up during the course of his governance (at least to the extent that it's possible for a human to understand them).
Between the two of you, there are at least 6 or 7 basic errors of syntax and spelling. That's not a very solid foundation for insulting anyone's intelligence but your own.
The messages from the conservatives lack any factual backing. Name calling and accusations of homosexuality don't equate a logical cogent argument. Mr. Damon's point is that Ms. Palin is unknown and she is in a position close to presidency of the strongest military power in the world. We need to know more about her before we trust her with that kind of power. If the conservatives have a counter argument, let them make it. Calling him an idiot or homosexual does not address his challenge. He is not running for office, and even if he was a homosexual and even if that was somehow bad, it still does not answer his challenge. But since the conservatives appear to have no problem with baseless accusations, I'll shall my observation of them. Not every conservative is an idiot, but every idiot is a conservative.

A tour was given in a Museum one day and the when the guide came to the Dinosaurs said " This bone is 2,000,006 years old. " One of the tourist asked "Where did you the the six years from? " The guide answered , " Well I have been here for six year AND THIS BONE WAS 2,000,000 YEAR OLD WHEN I GOT HERE ! "
Wow, the Bible Trash with the multiple accounts who has more hate than Hitler has put way too much time into this comments section, and should consider upping his meds. In all fairness, Matt DID say Palin should be president, which is giving her infinitely more credit than most. It's over, dude. You Tube comments, including this one, do not mean anything, to anyone.
Matt Damon..... I love you! This is an absolute perfect summation of the Palin idiocy....and the horror that could have been! Matt, YOU'RE THE MAN BABY!!!
Yeah, that's why the Republican's had Clint Eastwood do his "empty chair" routine on national TV - they hate Hollywood stars LOL! No snarky Mark, righties love Hollywood and they are eaten up with envy that all the Hollywood greats are caring and compassionate liberal who raise funds for the the sick and needy while they have nasty Clint and today Ted Nugent on their team. Too funny for words.
Lol your completely wrong. As terrible as it is, a good majority of americans, especially young ones, vote for who their favorite celebrities are voting for.
onesmartgal1 Watch what happens this midterm election. Senate + House = Lame Duck Obama. That's much better than causing more damage. The Liberals in Hollywood sit in their phat castles filled with money and have their accountants find ways to avoid paying taxes, yes, just like the Republicans. The poor Liberals who mooch off the system don't pay taxes. Right now 51% of America still supports ODUMMA. This country is stupid.
In retrospect, Mr. Damon shared a fear that the majority of Americans had: Sarah Palin is not a worthy politician at the national level. It's not really debatable. Not only was she NOT ready, she would NEVER be ready.
Governor of Alaska for 2 years? That's more experience than Obummer had. How I wish Sarah Palin was president, because the one we have presently is an inept, inexperienced, fool.
Matt Damon skewers Sarah Palin, but Palin was right some years ago when she asserted that Putin would eventually power grab the Ukraine. She was right. Too, she points out how weak Obama is. Damon stuck his big foot in his big mouth. Would I rather have Sarah Palin instead of Obama staring down Putin? You bet I would. Obama, Kerry, and Clinton are all weak, spineless politicians who don't give one rip about America. Obama can't leave office soon enough.
The movie wasn't about Obama. His whole point wasn't to defend him, his point was that having Palin as president would be the stupidest, worst thing for America. You're literally the kind of person that sees only two options, and if one of them turns out bad, then oh well the other one must have been the best option. You probably wouldn't have been happy if Palin was in office. And then you'd be saying that you wished Obama had been president. Don't be narrow minded.
Also, Mr Obama is a Kenyan born Muslim who killed 4 Americans in Benghazi when he sent that bitch, Susan Rice, to go on Meet the Press to steal the election from Mitt, FACT! Mitt would be president and we wouldn't have to be doing all of this Benghazi stuff.
I like Matt Damon. I met him while studying at UNLV when he was filming Ocean's Eleven. He seemed intelligent and is a genuine person, he didn't seem like a typical celebrity who felt he was above anyone else. He said he was more lucky than gifted. Unfortunately, Matt got sucked into the Hope & Change Obama campaign; so much so, he actually mobilized volunteers across the country to get Obama elected. Sarah Palin became the enemy. I admire Matt's passion and I would die to protect his right to say whatever he wants to, but I have actually met Sarah Palin and she isn't just a hockey Mom from Alaska, she was the Governor of Alaska. This was a talking point to get his candidate elected. Now, he is embarrassed that he was duped as many Americans are. Celebrity is a high currency and Matt used his on this campaign. I believe in many things he has gone on record politically, like education reform. WI could never hate someone like Matt for believing in Hope and Change, what American does not want Hope and Change? I think next election round we should ask ourselves what kind of change and what are you hoping for before we put a candidate, whatever party, in the White House. Sarah improved the lives of Alaskans and would have tried to improve the lives of all Americans. What exactly is scary about that? Yes, there were still problems in Alaska when she left the Governor's office. How has your life changed since Obama was in the White House? Is it better, worse, indifferent? I think we should stop fighting each other politically, whatever camp you are in, stop following political rhetoric, learn everything you can about a candidate and form your own opinion. Not based on what they will give you, but if they can make an environment better for you to be all that you want to be, not just give you what they think you will take for their vote. Look around and ask yourself, are you happy where you are? If Matt would have been more open minded at the time, he could have learned more about Sarah Palin than he ever would have learned about Obama. There has never been a Presidential candidate less vetted than he. Hopefully we all learned something by all of this election. That no matter who gets in, government will never be the answer to our problems. That there is no perfect society no matter how well a country's economy is doing, someone will always have the least amount of money. That we Americans are not victims and we do not need the government to protect us from the enemies they made us believe we have. That we should not hate people because they disagree with us. That our votes are worth more than any government handout. That each individual should have the right to be who they can be, even Hockey Mom's from Alaska. The Matt I met, would not say these things, I guess we all got caught up in the hype. Hangovers suck.
Matt Damon is an entertainer not an expert on U.S. history/politics/political science or constitutional law. He does not know the ins and outs of how things work so he really doesn't know why President Obama makes the decisions he does. But Damon is bright and the most recent public opinion he gave is from August, 3013 as follows: Cheryl K.

Yes No Undecided Other Login to Vote View results Hollywood actor Matt Damon said President Obama is being bullied, and the American public should give him a little leeway - he’s only trying to bolster his manhood. Mr. Obama is being unfairly pressured into making unpopular political decision - and he’s struggling, especially since he doesn’t have a military background, Mr. Damon said, the New Republic reported. Some of Mr. Obama’s recent challenges: Obamacare and the Edward Snowden spy scandal, Mr. Damon said. But he’s not to blame - and the American public should cut him some slack, the actor said, the New Republic reported. Mr. Damon said in the Guardian Weekend magazine: “It just seems to have taken this weird, Orewellian turn. It’s surreal. I don’t know where we are now … I think it’s tough for guys who weren’t in the military. 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.” Read more: www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/aug/6/hollywoods-matt-damon-obama-being-bullied/#ixzz2rZOOaGVd Follow us:@washtimes on Twitter
"I want to know if she thinks dinosaurs were here 4000 years ago." I want to know if Matt Damon thinks God incarnate was crucified and resurrected 2000 years ago. What does that have to do with being in public office? Even if she did believe the dinosaurs were walking side by side with Noah how would that affect trade policy?

Moozymanfreddie Au contraire, the homophobes are the clones of Bill who post bullshit because they harbor latent homosexual impulses and feel their masculinity threatened. To compensate for the anxiety they feel, they project and attribute their own feared impulses onto others.

I knew little about Palin until I saw the docudrama, Game Change, with the brilliantJulianne Moore, I was reminded of Jerzy Kosinski's hysterical movie, Being There, starring Peter Sellers.
He's absurd. I saw him on television saying how he thought it was "disgusting" (and it is) how so many people in the world don't have access to clean water for use (he's been a major advocate for clean water for individuals from poverty-stricken areas of the world). Really? Gee, if he feels THAT strongly about it -- that ardent about how everyone should have clean water, then why doesn't he put his money where his mouth is? He's stinking rich. Why doesn't he give most of his fortune away to assist in providing clean water for all? I mean since he's supposedly that passionate about the cause? Okay, he's got a family. Well, I grew up in a family of five in just a modest house in West Virginia (four bedrooms, ONE bath [one or more extra bathrooms admittedly would have been most welcome, I have to admit]). What? Such a residence wouldn't be good enough for him and his family? My guess would be that he owns AT LEAST one amazing property... one amazing mansion... if not a few amazing properties in the world. I can't stand him. Arrogance just radiates from him. Worth noting: Palin went toe to toe with Joe Biden in the Vice Presidential debate of that time, and MORE than held her own opposite him in it. So maybe his fears about her potential abilities in being a successful leader were absolutely unwarranted.
Little did he know that there was going to be scarier one than her.
I bet you mean Kamala Harris, which is bizarre (I don’t like her either, but still), how could you think the current president is better?

You probably wouldn't have been happy if Palin was in office. And then you'd be saying that you wished Obama had been president. Don't be narrow minded.
If you voted for Obama the first time, you proved your narrowmindedness. If you voted for him the 2nd time, you've proven your stupidity.
Also, Mr Obama is a Kenyan born Muslim who killed 4 Americans in Benghazi when he sent that bitch, Susan Rice, to go on Meet the Press to steal the election from Mitt, FACT! Mitt would be president and we wouldn't have to be doing all of this Benghazi stuff.
Imo, the most scary part is that McCain and his team picked her.
WTH kind of decision was that for a future Prez to make?
Now look who we're dealing with Matt!
Impersonator, the language is bad all right, but your spelling is even worse. Or perhaps "Internats" are technologically advanced gnats?
***** Too little, too late :(
Bright man with the courage of his convictions and the verbal ability to express himself.
***** pleeze be me friend trashie. do u want my phon number? OINK OINK!
It's hard to believe people post their real names on their Google page.
his 3rd year officially and dropped out not because he couldn't keep up but because his heart wasn't in it
Still love this video. Matt Damon's the man.
I like Matt Damon. I met him while studying at UNLV when he was filming Ocean's Eleven. He seemed intelligent and is a genuine person, he didn't seem like a typical celebrity who felt he was above anyone else. He said he was more lucky than gifted. Unfortunately, Matt got sucked into the Hope & Change Obama campaign; so much so, he actually mobilized volunteers across the country to get Obama elected. Sarah Palin became the enemy. I admire Matt's passion and I would die to protect his right to say whatever he wants to, but I have actually met Sarah Palin and she isn't just a hockey Mom from Alaska, she was the Governor of Alaska. This was a talking point to get his candidate elected. Now, he is embarrassed that he was duped as many Americans are. Celebrity is a high currency and Matt used his on this campaign. I believe in many things he has gone on record politically, like education reform. WI could never hate someone like Matt for believing in Hope and Change, what American does not want Hope and Change? I think next election round we should ask ourselves what kind of change and what are you hoping for before we put a candidate, whatever party, in the White House. Sarah improved the lives of Alaskans and would have tried to improve the lives of all Americans. What exactly is scary about that? Yes, there were still problems in Alaska when she left the Governor's office. How has your life changed since Obama was in the White House? Is it better, worse, indifferent? I think we should stop fighting each other politically, whatever camp you are in, stop following political rhetoric, learn everything you can about a candidate and form your own opinion. Not based on what they will give you, but if they can make an environment better for you to be all that you want to be, not just give you what they think you will take for their vote. Look around and ask yourself, are you happy where you are? If Matt would have been more open minded at the time, he could have learned more about Sarah Palin than he ever would have learned about Obama. There has never been a Presidential candidate less vetted than he. Hopefully we all learned something by all of this election. That no matter who gets in, government will never be the answer to our problems. That there is no perfect society no matter how well a country's economy is doing, someone will always have the least amount of money. That we Americans are not victims and we do not need the government to protect us from the enemies they made us believe we have. That we should not hate people because they disagree with us. That our votes are worth more than any government handout. That each individual should have the right to be who they can be, even Hockey Mom's from Alaska. The Matt I met, would not say these things, I guess we all got caught up in the hype. Hangovers suck.
Matt Damon is an entertainer not an expert on U.S. history/politics/political science or constitutional law. He does not know the ins and outs of how things work so he really doesn't know why President Obama makes the decisions he does. But Damon is bright and the most recent public opinion he gave is from August, 3013 as follows:

Hollywood actor Matt Damon said President Obama is being bullied, and the American public should give him a little leeway - he’s only trying to bolster his manhood.
Mr. Obama is being unfairly pressured into making unpopular political decision - and he’s struggling, especially since he doesn’t have a military background, Mr. Damon said, the New Republic reported.
Some of Mr. Obama’s recent challenges: Obamacare and the Edward Snowden spy scandal, Mr. Damon said.
But he’s not to blame - and the American public should cut him some slack, the actor said, the New Republic reported.
Mr. Damon said in the Guardian Weekend magazine: “It just seems to have taken this weird, Orewellian turn. It’s surreal. I don’t know where we are now … I think it’s tough for guys who weren’t in the military. 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.”

onesmartgal1 So Matt Damon is essentially saying that Barack Obama is a weak and spineless leader and that we should cut him some slack?
"I want to know if she thinks dinosaurs were here 4000 years ago."
I want to know if Matt Damon thinks God incarnate was crucified and resurrected 2000 years ago. What does that have to do with being in public office? Even if she did believe the dinosaurs were walking side by side with Noah how would that affect trade policy?
You mean to tell me that dinosaurs didn't exist 4,000 years ago wtf?
Its funny watching this in 2022. Because Team Blue literally elected a walking corpse into the White House. LOL
you know what time it is!?!!??! it time fer me to go out to dinner "with friends." this really means I gonna kidnap a few young boys and go to KFC and lick other peoples' fingers because im 2 fuckin broke to afford any KFC bird. OINK OINK OINK OINK!!
HEE HAR HEE HAR HEE HAR!
“Matt Damon!!!!!”
TEAM AMERICA! 😄👍
Ah, the simpler times... it's nice to look back...
Love him.
Take this clip and switch the names "McCain" and "Palin" with biden and kamala and you have basically the same circumstances now
Nah. Kamala has more experience in politics but she’s still a terrible person. I’m so shocked that the worst candidates made it to be the presumed president and VP. I was routing for Tulsi Gabbard because she was the most promising. The others were a joke
@@opheliavalentine6058 fax tulsi was one of the only good ones tbh there is a very real chance Kamala Harris will be the president unfortunately
Gilligan never got off the island...sad!
Where the Hell is Youzentube?
what the fuck is this comment section HAHAHAHAHA! seriously i don't understand
bill3979 Why does anyone get a kick out of calling someone "a faggot" anyway? Both Michael Douglas and Matt Damon are heterosexual men who do not feel threated by taking on controversial roles as they did in Behind the Caldelabra. They both purposely took roles that expand the diversity of their acting experience and present "a challenge". Neither is gay so why not take those roles? What's the deal about DeNiro Sr.?

Liberals hate male homosexuals but love their lesbians. ... It was a funny speech and Douglas did pay tribute to Liberace at the end. .... Find us on Google+.
This guy Bill has many issues for one he's a major Homophobe , that goes without doubt wouldn't you agree smarty ?
Moozymanfreddie Au contraire, the homophobes are the clones of Bill who post bullshit because they harbor latent homosexual impulses and feel their masculinity threatened. To compensate for the anxiety they feel, they project and attribute their own feared impulses onto others.
Are you always so paranoid ? whats a clone ?the man Mr Bill left a very homophobic comment about Robert Deniro Father ,that has nothing to do with Politics .
Moozymanfreddie It's a regular pattern with the impersonator or impersonators of Bill to fill their posts with content about sexual perversion so clearly the one who actually has a problem is not Bill, it's the ones who clone him. It's not rocket science.

Yes ! He is! I guarantee it!
I knew little about Palin until I saw the docudrama, Game Change, with the brilliantJulianne Moore, I was reminded of Jerzy Kosinski's hysterical movie, Being There, starring Peter Sellers.
How absurd is it now that Kamala is a heartbeat away?
the comment section for this video is almost as disturbing as sarah palin being president
You can hear them laughing. OMA!
Married a grease ball bar maid now getting divorced ,Matty your smart man LOL
It’s sad to think this is the same situation going on right now, literally. Well other than the race of the two woman.
This why I like Matt Damon
Whew!!! We dodged the bullet that time. But with Republicans you never know.
Brother, it got so much worse...
Given what's happened since 2016, who knew this would ever seem relatively quaint by comparison?
i didn't think it were possible, but I love this man even more now. Finally someone who has influence and intelligence
I can’t believe we have Kamala as Vice President! Why aren’t you talking about that Matt?!
As much as I can't stand Harris, she's better than Palin...imo.
How was your Christmas?
He's absurd. I saw him on television saying how he thought it was "disgusting" (and it is) how so many people in the world don't have access to clean water for use (he's been a major advocate for clean water for individuals from poverty-stricken areas of the world). Really? Gee, if he feels THAT strongly about it -- that ardent about how everyone should have clean water, then why doesn't he put his money where his mouth is? He's stinking rich. Why doesn't he give most of his fortune away to assist in providing clean water for all? I mean since he's supposedly that passionate about the cause? Okay, he's got a family. Well, I grew up in a family of five in just a modest house in West Virginia (four bedrooms, ONE bath [one or more extra bathrooms admittedly would have been most welcome, I have to admit]). What? Such a residence wouldn't be good enough for him and his family? My guess would be that he owns AT LEAST one amazing property... one amazing mansion... if not a few amazing properties in the world. I can't stand him. Arrogance just radiates from him.
Worth noting: Palin went toe to toe with Joe Biden in the Vice Presidential debate of that time, and MORE than held her own opposite him in it. So maybe his fears about her potential abilities in being a successful leader were absolutely unwarranted.
