Actor Jon Voight, who is fed up with the US President Barack Obama's "executive privilege," has opined that the 53-year-old president "must be stopped."

The 75-year-old actor said that on Veteran's Day, people honour all the living and fallen heroes who sacrificed their lives so others can live as free men, the Washington Times reported.

Voight added that they just found out from one of their own young Marines, Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi, who was just released from a Mexican prison after long tortuous months, during a Greta Van Susteran interview that he tried to kill himself with a broken light bulb that he plunged into his neck hoping to die, as to not endure his torture any longer.

Voight continued, referring to the earlier release of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, that Tahmooressi's incarceration was a total lie and he was totally innocent, but President Obama has released known terrorist murderers in a trade for an American soldier who was believed to be a deserter.

Voight further claimed that Obama wants to legalize all the illegal Mexicans, and every other illegal immigrant from other countries as well for their vote, for the 2016 election, for the Democrats, but it will make no difference on the billions of dollars it will cost the American tax payers as it made no difference on the latest illegals, like children unaccompanied by their parents and carrying all kind of illnesses, he let come across the borders a few months ago.

Voight concluded that Obama had nothing to say for Sgt. Tahmooressi, who endured this unthinkable torture, as he made no attempt to free him, not one word was said in his defense and Obama's view of what is right and wrong is totally distorted, suggesting there should be total outrage for his policies he will put into action.

He suggested that Obama must be stopped and every freedom loving American should voice their outrage against his executive privilege.
