Forrest Gump Supports Wapner, Obama

Posted May 4th 2008 12:30PM by TMZ Staff

Tom Hanks wants Barack Obama to be Prez, and it could be one of the most effective celeb endorsements so far.

Hanks, who put his homemade video up on his MySpace page, begins by saying, "I'm Tom Hanks and I want Barack Obama to be the next President of our country. As an official celebrity, I know my endorsement has just made your mind up for you."

Hanks then gets serious, acknowledging both candidates have screwed up and associated with the wrong people, including relatives. Could Tommy boy really be saying that about Bill?

Watch, then cast your vote!

4. "Tom Hanks has wants"......................TMZ, this is really getting pathetic!!! Do have illegals working for you who just don't understand the ENGLISH language. Please hire (or fire) a copy editor!

May God be with ALL of us if Obama parks himself in the White House. On the other hand, Hillary is even worse! So very sad what OUR choices are!!!!!!
