Actor John Cusack, best known for his roles in the films 1408 and Identity, is never shy about his expressions, even when it comes to the president of the country. The star, who previously allowed herself to criticize Hollywood for sexism and chauvinism, this time did not care about the foreign policy of Barack Obama. Cusack named the head of state "As bad a leader as George W. Bush, or even worse".

“Obama continued and cemented the same intimidation policy that Bush began pursuing after September 11, 2001, so why is he better than his predecessor? Yes, he didn’t start new wars, but he didn’t end the previous ones either,”Cusack said.

John later added that he did not understand the situation when one person in power could decide whether to send troops to hot spots outside the United States, noting that politicians such as Richard Nixon and Dick Cheney could only dream of such a thing.

However, not all of Obama's actions are disliked by Cusack. For example, in matters of domestic politics, according to the actor, Barak has gone far ahead of his predecessor.
