Morgan Freeman Narrates Obama Ad: 'Every President Inherits Challenges - Few Have Faced So Many'

The Obama campaign released a new ad Saturday, this one narrated by Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman.

It began, "Every president inherits challenges. Few have faced so many" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

Every president inherits challenges. Few have faced so many. Four years later, our enemies have been brought to justice. Our heroes are coming home. Assembly lines are humming again. There are still challenges to meet, children to educate, a middle class to rebuild, but the last thing we should do is turn back now.

Few have faced so many?

George W. Bush faced less as did Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford, Richard Nixon, Lyndon Johnson, John F. Kennedy, Dwight Eisenhower, Harry Truman, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Herbert Hoover, and Woodrow Wilson just in the last century?

As for our enemies having been brought to justice, tell that to the families of former Libyan ambassador Chris Stevens and fallen border patrol agent Brian Terry.

But what should we expect from Freeman who's given $1 million to Obama's Super PAC?


Here are some other examples of Freeman's legendary biases:
