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!

62. You stupid stupid Americans need Barack Obama in the whitehouse more than you could ever know... God help your poor pathetic excuse of a country - you need a president who is going to help bridge the racism and nationalism that has DESTROYED your country. What a bunch of racist, uneducated pigs on this website - you deserve everything that is happening to your stupid country. Thank god the American empire has finally fallen.

65. I would have said Tom Hanks before today...except today I watched Charlie Wilson's War, or I should say the first 15 minutes of it, and lost respect for him. If he can star in a piece of sleaze like that movie, I really don't value what he has to say politically. And I lost respect for Oprah years ago.

66. Get real! This guy is Al, Jessie and Louis in sheeps clothing! He will destroy this country. Look at the % of crime that blacks commit based on the % of blacks in our country. Remeber that most of the black city mayors that have been elected over the years are on the take or drug users ie: The mayor of detriot! Do you really want this guy in the white house running the country? Think about it, please. Rev. Wright is only the begining of what you don't know about this mans plans for america's future.

68. #65... as much as I hate to admit itI totally agree. As many enemies America has made, you'd THINK we'd be trying to get someone in office who can bridge the gap. The only thing questionable about Obama has been his pastor & anyone can misjudge one's character.

What are the charges of the others? Instead we have some broad who is using her ovaries to run for office and another running on the beginning stages of alzheimer's. Let's not even talk about the current... HERE WE ARE.

Ignorance is bliss... and i'm sure as this country sinks deeper in debt and hate... many in other foreign lands will share your opinion.

69. 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.

70. #69 LOL the forementioned in sheep's clothing is what they are not. There is no mistaken about their views on the injustices of America? Where do they come from? As a result of what??? What difference is there in drugs in the house than whore & war mongers??? Sad that you truly believe that black people are responsible for drugs in this country... what planet are you on... drugs like aids or any other social ill does not have particulars... there are plenty of meth heads, heroine addicts, and pharmaceutical abusers that blacks are a VERY LOW percentage.

Maybe the real fact of the matter is Obama's race is more of a problem than people care to admit, but I understand.
