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!

5. "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!!!!!!

8. totaly dig the old type writer collection behind tom , thats bitchen! As for tom's support for senator obama that's tom's choice and as an American I can respect that. don't change my veiw of tom as an actor. ( tom is a very good actor ) or human being. As for his coice of presidential canidate, well its a bit lacking.

11. I know now I will NEVER SEE ANY OF HIS MOVIES AGAIN!! just look at the pastor Wright? & remember that Obama has been a member of his church for 20 years... & you make your mind--- MY VOTE IS FOR HILLARY!! She's the BEST canidate for president...... HILLARY 2008 FOR PRESIDENT!! & as far as Oprah is concerned, does she or did she EVER ATTEND REV. Wright's CHURCH???????????????????? HILLARY IS FOR ALL AMERICAN PEOPLE & SHE'S NOT A RACIST! & SHE KNOWS HOW TO BE PRESIDENT!!

12. My take on celeb endorsements is that I don't pay any attention to them.
As with movie reviews, usually if it is a negative review, I might like it.
In other words, usually the opposite is true. If Hitlery or Hussein Obama get
in the white house, god help us all! Oh wait, they aren't into god.
