The Obama campaign released a new ad over the weekend, narrated by Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman.

Titled "Challenges," the ad bolsters the president's accomplishments over the course of his first term in office, and emphasizing the challenges he faced upon inauguration, as well as his foreign policy victories, and his commitment to strengthening America's middle class.

Freeman:

"Every president inherits challenges. Few have faced so many. Four years later, our enemies have been brought to justice, our heroes are coming home, assembly lines are humming again. There are still challenges to meet: children to educate, a middle class to rebuild. But the last thing we should do is turn back now."

Freeman also contributed $1 million during this campaign to the Obama Super PAC, Priorities USA.
