Morgan Freeman Adds Deep and Gravelly Voice to New Obama Campaign Ad
Morgan Freeman has made it no secret that he is a supporter of President Obama. Appearing on Tavis Smiley’s show, Freeman said, ”We’re going to be in
a lot of trouble if we don’t reelect Obama,” concluding that ”people on the other side of the fence scare me.”
“I think that we did a really good thing when we elected Barack Obama. I read his books, they read his books. He is absolutely and totally qualified for the job. He has proven himself to be not only qualified for the job, but very good at it. The things that he’s managed to get accomplished in the face of so much push back is amazing” said Freeman.
Now Freeman, who is known for his authoritative oration, is adding his own voice to one of President Obama’s campaign ads. The ad begins with, “Every President inherits challenges” and walks potential voters through President Obama’s accomplishments.
Freeman’s not the first black actor to star in an Obama reelection ad though. Samuel L. Jackson is lending a hand with his “Wake the F*ck Up” ads, which began airing on YouTube in late September.
Could Obama have done any better than Morgan Freeman? Probably not, since the only voice that even comes close to Freeman’s is that of James Earl Jones. Some white people have a problem with having a black man as president, but they sure don’t mind hearing black men talk. Talking is fine, but when you decide you want to run something, then, Houston, we have a problem.

Yes, Freeman is right… THE TEA-PUBLICANS are like a bad HALLOWEEN PRANK. Romney is running around telling lies about how he is going to create millions of jobs…while he pads his bank account with money from shipping jobs overseas…now in Illinois.

And he then claims that Obama has been “soft on China.” Those rightwing nuts are also planning to cut the budget for EDUCATION and PBS…while giving tax breaks to billionaires (who are no creating jobs). It is such a scary mess that we all should be out roundiing up people to vote for Pres. Obama.
The real reason willard wants to cut PBS is because Tavis Smiley has a show on that channel, and you know what color he is!!!
Like I said before, both of these parties are one-in-the-same, they don’t give a d**n about Black people, nor does O’Drama!
WE ARE BEING TRICKED BY POLI-TICKS!!! KEEP SCRATCHING
Derrick, how in the 7734 can you say President Obama does not give a d**n about black people. His wife is black, his children are black. And you think Mitt Romney gives a d**n about black people – seriously. What do wow want POTUS to do??. He is the President not the Messiah. He needs support, not ridicule. You want to blame POTUS, look in the mirror, Willie Lynch conditioned blacks hating and destroying each other – you cannot in good conscious blame POTUS for years and years of institutionalized black on black crab in the barrel hate and black on black crime. I just do not understand my people. Not to mention severely hurt by us. Sooooo sad!!!
Derrick,
You made a statement and I am truing to figure out what you have that is better than our present President?

ANY MORE QUESTIONS?
Yep.
History has shown us what happens to Arican American progression in America. This election is not about Barack Obama it’s about who will sit on the U.S. Supreme Court for the next 30 or 40 years. If Romney is elected you will see the return of the Plessy v. Ferguson court that relegated The “negro” none status in America. We must remember that all white people are not racist…but all white people are born and raised no matter how suttle under a deep rooted system of “white supremacy” and when that almost genetic system is threatened they react. President Obama, if re-elected will have at least 3 and maybe 4 appointments to the Supreme Court. This is about whether we keep moving forward in America or whether we return to the Post Reconstruction Day when they took away all of our right.
You nailed it. So many black people are listening to ignorant Negroes like Boyce, Tavis and Smiley by allowing themselves to be distracted from the goal of the white racist…to control the Supreme Court.
Regardless of how we feel about Obama, the next president will select the next two judges to an already Conservative bench. Affirmative Action case at the U of Texas will be struck down by this court by the end of this month ending Affirmative Action, and abortion and civil rights laws will be next.
Wake up people, demographers have predicted we will be the majority by 2050, whites are planning ahead with a plan to control us through laws approved by racist judges on the Supreme Court. Therefore this election is very important in the survival of white supremency in the u.s.
How do you think minority whites in South Africa controlled the majority Africans..YES through the laws enacted by the white judges. SMH
Samuel L. Jackson and Morgan Freeman are ACTOR’s, they get PAID to ACT…
Udosed, and if you want to get paid during the next four years you’d better start applying some action like Jackson and Freeman!
I hope President Obama wins re election. The president has a lot of wonderful accomplishments in light of unprecedented racial hatred against him and opposition by Republicans. But, I will be even happier when the president stops authorizing the slaughter of American soldiers and Muslims civilians around the world. I do not believe that it is in his heart to allow these killings and drone attacks all over the world! I think that he allows it because he is afraid of back lash from Republicans claiming that he is soft on foreign policy. Instead, what has happened is that President Obama has been more aggressively killing people around the world and getting our troops killed than any present in recent history including George Bush! I think it is very interesting that in our excitement at having a black president we accept an imperialistic policy that we would greatly criticize if the president were a Republican. I certainly hope President Obama wins re election, mainly because I believe that Mitt Romney would be even worse! But lets be consistent folks and not hipocrites. regardless of your religion, or even if you’re atheist or agnostic, all this killing around the world, including our own troops, is just wrong! it was wrong during Bush’s 8 years and it’s been wrong during President Obama’s first term. END THESE WARS AND UNITED STATES IPERIALISM NOW MR. PRESIDENT! And he does not need Congress to do this!
Our Ancestor that fought, killed and died are looking at us with amazement. When will we do for self? Why don’t we advocate abolishing all federal taxes( as Forbes stated in 1996) So we can have our own money to rise or fall as we see fit and quit watching it go overseas? When will demand our state, city and county govts. lower these property taxes and sales taxes so we can do more with our resources? Have you gone to your statehouse in your state lately black folks? Who controls that? What about your city? County? Now you see, its bigger than the one job in the “Slave Built House” ( and all of DC was B.Banneker’s designs). Tell me how your state is run and ill tell you what your politricks will be, even after KIng Romney or Obama are selected( Selectoral college). Hotep
Oh as of last count, in my state individuals or small biznezzez ( which I have one) pay directly or indirectly around 30 different taxes, levied by the state. Look up yours in your state black folks and then tell where is the true change gonna come from? Amen Ra..
GET OUT OF HERE WITH THAT “BUMBACLAT” MORGAN!
OBAMA NEEDS TO THROW BLACK FOLKS A BONE! WE NEED JOBS ESPECIALLY AFRICAN AMERICANS! NOW THAT HE GOT ALL THE OTHER NON-SENSE PASSED THRU CONGRESS HE REALLY NEEDS TO FOCUS ON AFRICAN AMERICANS WELL BEING! I KNOW HE IS “ALL OF AMERICA’S PRESIDENT” BUT BLACK PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING THE MOST! WE ARE BLINDLY SUPPORTING OBAMA JUST BECAUSE HE IS HALF BLACK! HIM AND MICHELLE ARE GOING TO BE QUITE ALRIGHT AFTER HIS TERM IS UP, ARE YOU?
