Robert De Niro: Hillary Clinton Should Be the Next President [View all]

[DemocratSinceBirth]

The acting legend puts his support behind Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential run in an interview with The Daily Beast.
Robert De Niro is a great many things. He’s a screen icon with a pair of Oscars and close to 100 films under his belt, including classics like Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, and Goodfellas. He’s an entrepreneur who has, through real estate ventures and the Tribeca Film Festival, helped revitalize Lower Manhattan in the wake of 9/11. He’s a longtime supporter of the Democratic Party, having endorsed Al Gore, John Kerry, and Barack Obama for president. And he also might be a psychic.

You see, back in December 2006, De Niro was busy doing promotional stops for his directorial effort The Good Shepherd. One of his appearances was on Hardball with Chris Matthews, where he appeared opposite star Matt Damon. It was filmed at George Mason University, and in front of a crowd of thousands, De Niro was asked who he’d like to see as president of the United States.

His answer? “Well, I think of two people: Hillary Clinton and Obama.”
