Why have I not seen this before?! Adjustment Bureau just got mega slammed by the President of the United States of America!

I don't know how I feel about this, it's pretty funny and all and I do agree but it kind of strikes me as childish. Maybe I'm just used to stale british politics.

Just one of the many reasons why I think he's a great President.

@Llewelyn: The president was giving a speech at the 2011 White House correspondent's dinner. It's an annual comedic roast held by journalists who cover the President/White House, not a formal press conference. Seth Meyers was the guest speaker this year. (Obama starts speaking around the 27 minute mark.)

I've seen those parliamentary meetings, "stale" is not the first word that comes to mind.

@EsotericArt: Oh ok, thanks for clearing that up, we have nothing at all like that over here.

@Undeadpool: I suppose you're right, I guess I mean their manner when they address the public.

He's such a likable guy. Shame that doesn't necessarily equate to a great president.

Upon first viewing I also thought it was a bit odd, but considering the context, it makes a lot more sense.

Hahaha. I agree. Though I wouldn't say Matt Damon was at fault for The Adjustment Bureau's awfulness. I thought Matt did a pretty good job, actually.

In this case, I'm pretty sure they picked The Adjustment Bureau just because it was recent. It probably had nothing to do with Damon's performance at all. Just an easy, light-hearted joke.

Haha thats great. get fucked Damon
