Obama Losing Hollywood Support

Clooney, Hanks, Spielberg – the stars praised him in 2008. Now the President finds his friends out of the picture

Hollywood is all hype and they easily bought into the hype of “Hope and Change.”

Now, they have awakened. Too bad they didn’t take a closer look. They would have found no substance behind the campaign rhetoric.

Obama had no record to run on in 2008, and he won’t run on his dismal record in 2012. I was personally warning people about Obama in 2008 because I was one of the few people who actually looked at his record. People voted from him for a variety of “questionable” reasons all while voluntarily choosing to ignore the truth.

An old saying applies to this situation:

One-star reviews: what the A-list say

Matt Damon

The Oscar-winning actor and prominent liberal activist was one of Mr Obama’s most fervent Hollywood supporters in 2008 and even campaigned for the Democrat in Florida. However, he has since made his disenchantment clear. “He misinterpreted his mandate,” Damon told CNN in March. “He’s doubled down on a lot of things”.

Robert Redford

In 2008, the Hollywood veteran proclaimed Obama was “what the country needs most now”. However, in July this year he accused the President of failing to “roll up his sleeves” on energy reforms.

Jon Stewart

“I thought he would do a better job,” the previously pro-Obama comedian and host of the Daily Show TV programme said earlier this year.

Jane Lynch

The openly gay star of the TV series Glee criticised the President over his non-committal stance on gay marriage. She said last year: “He is a huge disappointment to me.”
