Academy Award-winning actor Morgan Freeman donated $1 million last month to the pro-Obama super PAC Priorities USA Action, the Los Angeles 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.”
