Appearing on Good Morning America to promote his critically-acclaimed film, The Descendants, movie star George Clooney told host George Stephanopoulos that he was rooting for President Obama in 2012.
“I’m a Democrat — I’m a believer,” Clooney said. “I think he’s done a wonderful job, I think he’s having a tough time in a difficult environment. I root for him. I root for the President of the United States.”

Earlier in the interview, Clooney corrected Stephanopoulos on the difference between his prior fundraising for President Obama and campaigning for him, which he didn’t participate in:
“I didn’t do any campaigning. Because I’m a big believer–I really don’t think it helps much to have well-known, famous people campaigning for you. I don’t think that does you a lot of good.”
Clooney also had mentioned he was realistic about the political process and referenced how his father ran for Congress as a Democrat in Kentucky.
