Ben Affleck: 'Politics Is An Ugly Game'....

Ben Affleck will never run for U.S. presidency - because acting in blockbuster movies is "easier" The Good Will Hunting actor has ruled out following in the footsteps of actor-turned-politician Arnold Schwarzenegger because he deems politics an "ugly game".He tells U.S talk show host Larry King, "I like directing movies and acting in movies. It's easier than running."I like to get involved with things that I think will help people. But, you know, politics in and of itself and for its own sake is an ugly game".Affleck also reveals he will be backing candidate Barack Obama in the 2008 race for the White House.He says, "I will vote in the primary for Barack Obama. I like Barack."I think he's an extraordinary guy, but I also think the consistency on the war vote is the most important to me".
