Forrest Gump Supports Wapner, Obama

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!

47. What do ya' know.. another wacked out celebrity endorses Obama. Let's see.. who else could be hiding their support for Obama.. we already know Louis Farrakan, Rev. Al Sharpton, Bill Ayers, Rev. Jeramiah Wright and of course Jesse Jackson, wonder who else might be a closet Obama supporter.. maybe Osama himself. But these people could never say publicly because it would let the cat out of the bag and Obama would be unveiled, thus lose the election.. Now we got Forrest.. Forrest Gump??? Leave it to a celeb to go with whats in style...but no substance. Hanks must not care about America, even after he and Speilberg made all those WW2 movies.. traders and very shameful.

48. I can't wait to see if Obama picks GAYle King as Vice President.

The underlying message in all of this is just how much power have we given Oprah Winfrey? She owns the media and now she will control the government if and when Obama is elected POTUS....and by a lot of accounts of experts who have reviewed her relationship with that Tolle troll, she is going to take over how we all worship.

So, that being said, make some decisions of how much you time and effort you go to supporting Oprah's spinoffs and products she endorses. She has made some positive changes but now we have to wake up and see if we agree or disagree with whether or not we want her and her staff, editors, producers, writers, etc. controlling the world.

49. Obama would be worse then Bush.. Proof, Obama wants to deny the most sacred rights of all Americans in the right to vote. Obama wouldn't cooperate with the DNC for Michigan and Florida, even though Obama voluntarily removed his name from the ballot in Michigan (snubbing voters for fear of losing) and in Florida it was some Republican in a suit that messed up Democratic voters rights. See Obama would punish Americans who don't agree with him. Its a form of power abuse that Americans suffered under Bush. Obama runs his campaign on change, yet he's the first person to run and hide behind old corrupt rules?? Whatever! This isn't "change" , its the same ole' politics with Obama. Sen. Obama would be no different then Bush/Chaney. Buyer beware.

50. Forrest Grunt Hey man the terror group Hamas also endorsed me.

And Hitler was a liberal and a Vegetarian.
The liberals in the USA are much closer to Hitlers style of fascist totalitarianism, especially those endorsing MANDATORY govt. health care-think DMV for health care as well as turning back the clocks, and destroying the world economy to fight the global warming hoax,
We liberals know what is best for you! You don't because you are common-folk, uneducated and sheltered.
You will give all your wealth and future to us, the state and wee will tell you how to live, what to believe even what to eat.
Because you do not know what's good for you. We democrats know better.
You no longer have to worry about your hopes and dreams, you don't have to be competitive (unless we tell you to), We will do everything for you!
The only thing you need to know is that the best you can ever do, ever hope to accomplish in life is to be a part of our perfect society.

51. wow. now after actually having watched this crap...must've been death threats.

Posted at 2:49PM on May 4th 2008 by Holy Kloverkehr! It is a frickin CLOWN and a tmz HACKER!!!!

52. I read a few comments, so here's mine :

Tom Hanks put this video on his Myspace page (take a look at it at you'll see his page and his videos are about him as a man, not about him as an actor.) Tom Hanks is an American citizen before to be an actor. And as every American citizen he has the right to freedom of opinion and freedom of speech; just like anybody else. Everybody could make their own video and puts it on their Myspace page or Youtube channel to show their support to a candidate. I don't take this video as a celebrity endorsing a candidate but as a regular guy endorsing a candidate.
As for his sentence "As an official celebrity, I know my endorsement has just made your mind up for you" : he's kidding !
Aren't you aware that Tom Hanks he's a man who likes laughing, joking and having fun ?

53. Tune it for the new Bossom Buddies , starring Tom Hanks and Barack Obama. Coming Thursdays at 7pm e.s.t. only on NBC. The place for politics?

54. Here's a clue for you all. No matter who is elected, they will end up sucking. All three are full of crap but the winner of these losers will end up with egg on the faces of all those supporting them. So in a way, I'm hoping and can't wait to see dolts like Hanks having to face up to BHO failures and disappointments.

I'm just hoping I can write in a vote, ie: anyone in favor of the USA signing the ICC agreements and handing over all guilty persons.

58. uh, excuse me Mr Hanks, but George W. Bush will not be watching the next president swear on the bible in November. It will be in January.

59. Thank you Tom for realizing that Obama is the man we need to go forward and change politics as we know it. I think he has been an inspiration in his show of character and restraint. By not bashing Rev. Wright for his beliefs and simply letting us know that he doesn't feel the same way, he showed me that he is respectful of other people's feelings and that while condeming the controversial ideas of Wright, he still can respect the good things that Wright has done for his church and community. If Obama is the nominee I will be voting Democratic for the first time in my life....all 60 years!

60. Wow Tom still looks hot !! Tom makes some good points and Obama will probably be the nominee, but I still support Hillary.
