Actor Morgan Freeman endorses Obama; says he can offer inspirational leadership like JFK, RFK

[TeamJordan23]

Actor Morgan Freeman endorsed Barack Obama but won't join him on the campaign trail. "I'm an actor, not a politician," he explains. Yet the 70-year-old star lingers long enough on the topic to liken Obama to his generation's ideal and idealistic politician. "Remember JFK?" he asks, recalling Kennedy-era programs like Vista and the Peace Corps. Obama can offer that kind of inspirational leadership, Freeman says.

2. Another black man jumping on the bandwagon and just look at the

flames when the Iowa newspapers endorsed Hillary, they tried to say because it was women...I guess that gives me a pass to say this.

7. This isn't groupthink. Believe it or not, not all Hillary supporters think the same way.

That may be shocking but, well, there it is.

6. disgusting. You are fucking shameless and that is a damned racist

comment. It's no better than the crap you objected to about Clinton. Fuck no you don't get a pass.

11. Pass? Or cheap shot? You know very well that Clinton has some very

impressive and well known blacks endorsing her. So it's really ridiculous of you to imply that blacks are supporting Obama because he's black.

3. "His next project is playing Nelson Mandela, a role that's been in his sights for 15 years."

5. I've always admired Morgan Freeman's work, but as he says, I think

he should stick with acting.

8. I couldn't disagree with him more

I was impressed with Obama's speech at the 2004 convention but he's done little to impress me since.
