[PJ Media] WASHINGTON -- Academy Award-winning actor Morgan Freeman, an executive producer of the new CBS series Madam Secretary, said President Obama "has been extraordinary" during his time in office.
"My feeling about what he's done is he has been extraordinary in the wake of such partisanship. He's gotten a lot done," said Freeman at the premiere of Madam Secretary on Thursday evening at the United States Institute of Peace.
In 2012, Freeman donated $1 million to the pro-Obama political action committee Priorities USA Action. He also narrated a commercial for the Obama campaign.
Madam Secretary is a television drama about Elizabeth Faulkner McCord, a female secretary of State played by Téa Leoni. Freeman told PJ Media Madam Secretary is not a political show.
"We don't think it's a political film. The State Department is not a political arm of the government."
| This is how you know it's a fiction... |
"We're talking about the diplomatic corps, that's ongoing. These people are -- they're there when administrations move on, all right. So, we don't want to get it locked into like, politics," Freeman said.
Who fok'n knew? I'm certainly glad Morgan set the record straight on that one. |
