Daniel "James Bond" Craig Speaks Out For Obama

"Quantum of Solace" comes out next month, and Daniel Craig is out promoting that and Barack Obama. He can't vote in America, but the British Craig has strong feelings anyway.

"I strongly feel there needs to be a new way forward," Craig tells Playboy magazine in an interview on newsstands today. "Barack Obama is pushing things in the right direction. I'm excited about the election. Unfortunately, things will probably get dirty. I hope Obama can stay above the fray ... I'm hopeful for the first time in a long, long while. It's one of the most exciting elections in my lifetime."

"Solace" is Craig's second turn as Bond and he's rumored to be committed to another two films. True? Craig confirms, but seems cagey.

"I did sign on for four," he says in the interview, "so a piece of paper says there are two more to do. But let's see how this one goes. In the film business, everything doesn't always go according to plan. We'll wait and see. If it goes wrong, we'll have to rethink things."

More should see this site, send it to everyone you know is on the fence.

This confirms that most of us outside the United States are rooting for Obama. If this were a worldwide elections, McCain would get less than half the vote of the planet.

[acslaterson]

More like 26% at best (South Africa polled the highest with this number). Some places in Europe had Obama in the 90s!

[InspiredbyObama]

I totally agree... I can't tell you how many of my overseas friends would NOT vote for McCain!

Here's a hot item for LGBT and human right supporters voting for 0BAMA.

[SueMVetforObama]

The reaction of the World Politic when Obama is elected will be, in headlines -

America Finally Grows Up!

Obama/Biden 08/12

BLUE STAR FAMILIES FOR OBAMA!

VETS AGAINST MCCAIN!

[Carsy]

I am ridiculously excited to see the new Bond movie, going to be great, I hope Obama attends to premiere.

[rock2casbah]

He has a powerful country to attend to. But thanks for the invite to the Bond premiere. I can understand if he takes a pass.

[Agentlady007]

He is my new favorite top secret agent.

Love you!

[moda31]

mmm those photos, that's a lot of hot right there.

[eden4barack08]

Ditto.

[pjburns11]

The new James Bond looks like a drunk divorce lawyer hiding out in Manilla from debt collectors.

Connery, he is not.

[DarthMac]

He's plays a far better Bond than Roger Moore.

[hortonhearsawho]

Yeah, but he did stay at a holiday inn last night.

[Yermammy]

He's the closest to the idea of Ian Fleming. Cold, ruthless and a killer. And he does it with class. Too bad you're jealous that he likes Obama (because that's the REAL reason for your whining).

[protagonia]

Yeah, let's put Sean Connery back in the role of James Bond.

It is cheaper to simply JOIN the 21st Century than to invent a time machine.

[johnnygoodwud]

BREAKING NEWS: james bond, wonder woman, and now al bundy endorse barack. TRUE

[SuperJ]

Another reason for me to love Daniel Craig.

[ReasonIsMyReligion]

The name's Obama, Barack Obama.

[ShawnMichel]

Yes! Excellent!

[protagonia]

Obama 008!

[susanava]

Please find out if you are eligable to vote early. Many states allow early voting with no questions asked. You may not have to wait till Nov 4. Spread this around to everyone you know. You can get more info here:
