Description"Actor Steve Guttenberg (who you may remember from Police Academy) had a Q&A with CreditCards.com recently — and, in addition to the financial questions, the interview veered into political territory. More specifically, a critique of President Barack Obama. While Guttenberg said he voted for Obama, he expressed some disillusionment, noting that “it’s hard to believe in the presidency anymore.”

Referring to the banking/financial mess, Guttenberg was asked, “Do you think Washington can reign in the misbehavior?” He responded:

It’s hard to believe in the presidency anymore. I voted for Obama, I love Obama, but I don’t want to see Obama on “The View,” I don’t want to see him playing Frisbee, I don’t want to know that it’s $40,000 a plate at George Clooney’s house, and I adore George Clooney. Hey man, I’ve got a friend of mine who’s got a $7 an hour job at Dunkin Donuts and he can’t get a $9 an hour job over at the country club because there are so many people in front of him. I believe that the president should be his desk all day. I don’t want to see him on vacation, I don’t want to see him at Martha’s Vineyard, I don’t want to see Mrs. Obama in Spain. No, no, I do not want to see that because everybody’s struggling. These CEOs shouldn’t be taking all this money. No Rolls Royces. No private planes."
