Actor Don Cheadle films a new interview with the Obama campaign, explaining that he supports President Obama because he is taking the country in the “right direction.”

“I think we have a president, who you can look at his policies, and dealing with an obstructionist Congress, has still been able to push many things forward. We need to give him the ability to continue to do that,” Cheadle said, encouraging all Americans to work as hard as they can to re-elect the president.

Cheadle starred as Lt. Col. James ‘Rhodey’ Rhodes in Iron Man 2, and has starred in other films such as  Hotel Rwanda and the Ocean’s 11 series.
