Morgan Freeman Donates $1 Million To Pro-Obama Super PAC

Academy Award-winning actor Morgan Freeman donated $1 million last month to the pro-Obama super PAC Priorities USA Action, the LA Times reports. In statement, Freeman said:

“President Obama has done a remarkable job in terrible circumstances. He has ended combat operations in Iraq, put in place sensible reforms of Wall Street, saved the auto industry and protected the healthcare of every American with a preexisting condition. He has recognized the full equality of all our brothers and sisters and placed impressive, accomplished women on the Supreme Court. In return for this he is being targeted by hundreds of millions of dollars in special-interest money. I for one am proud to lend my voice – and support – to those who defend him.”

1. I remember some wailing and gnashing of teeth when Bill Maher did the exact same thing.

People saying Suoer PACs were evil and making such big donations was "lowering ourselves to the level of Republicans." So transparent it isn't even funny.

I predict we'll hear the same shit now from those "lifelong Democrat but" people.

2. Nice, but imagine what

That $1M could do at the local level or for community based orgs???

3. yes, but if it helps keep Mitt Romney out of the WH then it is going even further.
