Mortensen latest star to back Obama

Viggo Mortensen is the latest star to weigh into the debate about who should be America’s next president.

Speaking at a special Hollywood screening of his new movie 'Appaloosa', the actor did not hold back, saying: “There is only one real choice – Barack Obama – if you’re realistic about the issues and the state of the nation.

“You know the political stunts aside, Sarah Palin and so forth, you’ve gotta go with the person who is speaking consistently about the issues.”
