Freeman to POTUS: 'Get pissed off'
The Politico ^ | 8/22/11 | Glenn Thrush

Posted on 08/23/2011 5:33:23 AM PDT by mykroar

When President Obama jumped on the back nine of the celebrity-clogged Vineyard Golf Club course on Sunday, he ran into none other than Morgan Freeman, Oscar winner and Obama backer.

Freeman, it turns out, was as free with advice for Obama as he was for Tim Robbins in “The Shawshank Redemption.” (POLITICO was holding outside the course in the pool van, told only that Obama was playing with his usual island foursome.)

But the deeply wired Boston Globe, invaluable for Vineyard gossip, caught up with Freeman at an event later in the day.

“What I wanted to tell him is to get pissed off, get fighting mad,” the actor told the paper. “But I know he won’t because he doesn’t think it’s politically smart.”

On Obama’s chances for reelection, Freeman added, “If I could vote for him 1,000 times, I would.”

“I think he’s been horribly sandbagged, and it makes me so angry,” he said.

This is disappointing because I've always liked Freeman and I know he wasn't a knee-jerk Bush-basher like the rest of Hollywood.

Freeman added, “If I could vote for him 1,000 times, I would.”

If you're voting democrat this time, it's actually encouraged.

Is he still having an affair with his step-granddaughter?

Richard Trumka can make this happen for you Morgan.

Rather, I would tell Ubama to “Get F*CKED”.

Sorry Charlie, you can't do that until you're dead.

No wonder Morgan Freeman would vote for Obama with morality like this.

“Morgan Freeman is planning to marry his step-granddaughter, it has been claimed.

It was reported last month that the actor, 72, has been having a decade-long affair with E’Dena Hines, 27. She is the granddaughter of Morgan’s first wife – whom he and his estranged second wife Myrna raised since she was a young child.”

"E’Dena and Morgan’s relationship continued and not only ended his 25 year-old marriage but also put an end to his relationship with longtime mistress Mary Joyce Hays."

Yep.

Liberals are the lowest common denominator.

Actually, I agree with Mr. Freeman. Obama should get “P!$$&d off”, not only because that is all he has left but it will make him look like the extremist he is.

Reading a book called “The Devils Candy” currently. It’s basically how the story of how one of the biggest novels of the 80s - The Bonfire of the Vanities - was turned into one of the biggest bombs in movie history.

I’m still in the process of reading it but so far the clear cut conclusion of the author is that it was the decision to cast Morgan Freeman in the role of the judge in a studio decision to make sure that there was a “good person of color” to “balance out” the Al Sharpton character that did the movie in.

What’s interesting is that it’s not just because Freeman apparently sucked - it’s that PLUS all the other things that happened as a result of that decision such as budgetary, scheduling etc.

But the bottom line was that Freeman was the turd in that particular punch bowl.

Morgan Freeman is black.

He thinks black, where is the surprise.

Of course he would vote for Obama a 1,000 times, 95% of blcks would. Allen West probably voted for Obama.

I'd love for someone to have Mr. Freeman explain exactly the reasons he is so supportive of Obama. I mean, is it because he's been so great for the economy? Perhaps it's because he's done wonders for job creation. I'll bet it's the fantastic strides he's gained in furthering the successes of the black community. I know, it must be the improvement of the world's view of America.

I get a chuckle with these h’wood yoyos.......

They never can offer a grammatically correct sentence when they are up-and-coming...........but when they get a few bucks in the bank...........they are experts on everything... especially on how to spend everyone elses’ money.

Morgan...baby....go marry Maxine Waters!

It's based on race. Blacks view every criticism of Obama as race based so they take it personally - as an attack on them as well because they are of the same race.

Obama plays into it with his incessant blame game, I'm a victim rhetoric.

What many predicted has come to pass.

Shouldn't Morgan be busy marring a step daughter. Oh, that's right, he already did that.

“Decade long affair”. That means she was 17 when it started.
