HeadlineAug 12, 2013

The actor Matt Damon has spoken out against President Obama’s policies on drone strikes and NSA surveillance. Damon made the comments in an interview with BET when he was asked how Obama is doing in his second term.

Matt Damon: “He broke up with me. There are a lot of things that I really question.

That’s a little intense when an ex-president says that. So, he’s got some explaining to do, particularly for a constitutional law professor.”
