Matt Damon is of the firm belief that President Obama is being bullied, and that the American public should be a little soft on him, as he was only trying to 'bolster his manhood'.
In an interview with The Guardian, Damon, who was once a staunch Obama supporter, said that it's tough for the President as he doesn't have a military background and thus is being unfairly pressured into making unpopular political decisions, the Washington Times reported.
