Betty White endorses Obama [View all]

[kpete]

The actress Betty White is endorsing President Obama for reelection, the AP reports.

White told the AP that she “very, very much favors” Obama, saying that she likes what he has done and “how he represents us.”

The 90-year old actress, in the midst of a late-career renaissance, told the AP that she has generally avoided partisan politics for most of her life and has never backed a candidate for fear of alienating her fans.

Obama wished White a happy birthday earlier this year, jokingly demanding her birth certificate. With Obama chasing the "cool" vote, he could probably have no better a surrogate than White.
