Forrest Gump Supports Wapner, Obama

76. What I want to know is who the hell gives a crap who Tom Hanks and Oprah are voting for ? It boils down to this at election time you will have Republican Liar and a Democrat Liar all you do is vote for who you feel is the best liar and then for the next four years you sit back and watch them screw you and the country up even more than it is. Lets face it the President and Congress are nothing more than puppets for people like Warren Buffet, big corporations and Arab countries and thats it. If you your not super rich, rich or have power your going to get screwed by whoever gets elected. So enjoy your trip to the polling booth and on the way home buy 4 years supply of condoms and kleenex tissues and vasoline or petroleum jelly. Don't sweat the rest of it cause you ain't gonna get out of life alive anyway.

78. It is a pitty to see people I thought had some common sense show they don't. Because anyone who knows anything about Obama would never think he is good for this country. I guess Hanks is just another liberal moron too!

80. Oh it just breaks my heart to see how racism is still very much a problem for the USA. As an outsider looking in, over the past 6 months I have been blown away by the comments directed at Barack Obama and/or his supporters. To hear people say that they would never vote for a man whose name is one letter away from Osama. To hear people say that so long as the deep south lives, a black man will never be in the Whitehouse.
I think he's your only hope... Hillary has done nothing but play dirty politics and it's going to catch up to her. Barack has the heritage, background and education needed to advance your country's mentality past the stone ages.
His father is from Kenya, his mother from Kansas. He lived mostly in Hawaii growing up and spent 4 years in Indonesia. He graduated from Columbia and Harvard. To hear people bashing him because of his NAME or RACE makes me believe the stereotypes that the world holds against your country.

81. Just lost any respect I had for this guy. Had no idea, Tom Hanks was one of many LOOPY-LIBS OF HOLLYWEIRD! After all the dirt thats come out on Sen. Obama...I can't believe how many people will still vote for this RADICAL-FAR LEFT NUTJOB!!! This candidate...is NOT to be TRUSTED

82. Tom Hanks, I will never see another movie of yours again, no respect for you anymore. I want to know what makes a celebriity a political spokesperson oh wait that's right, money and the fact that you have a soapbox in which you think your fans will listen. Tom what you endorse could be your worst nightmare. Shut the F up.

83. I would never vote a certain direction because a CELEBRITY endorses someone, although I might boycot a movie or CD because a celebrity endorses a candidate in an obnoxious manner - IE Babs, Alec, Susan, etc.

84. Is there anything we should read into the sinking ship behind Mr. Hanks? Interesting choice of background,imo.

I just know there are about 4,155 reasons (give or take 11,000 more wounded reasons) I am voting for the Democratic nominee. Time to bring the troops home so we can rebuild what's left of America due to Mother Nature's wrath in the last few years. America is not going to implode if we choose either the Bro or the Ho.

Harry Truman once said "In order to live like a Republican, vote for a Democrat."

85. I love Tom Hanks' movies, not impressed by his choice of presidential candidates. We've known for a long time that he had contributed to the Obama campaign, so we have known for a long time Obama was his choice. My guess is that now that Obama is having "Rev." Wright troubles, his campaign is recycling some old endorsements to distract us.

86. All you Shrillary Clinton lovers and racists - STOP HATIN! SHE WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT, THANK YOU LORD!

87. This country was founded on Christian principals and by god fearing people. Its kind of funny that Obama has scientologists in his pocket. Since when is that a christian based belief. God help us if Obama gets into office this country will fall flat on its face. Sad to see that we have strayed so far away from what this country was truly founded on. If Obama gets into office our forfathers will be rolling over in their graves.

90. It' good to see Mr Hanks bring out my nation government constitution rights and freedoms, and it's so true about what he said of people of color in this great nation of ours very sad but true. I guess people here in America, just don't realize what we all really can do to change things. Thank You Mr Hanks!!!!!!! GEE-WHIZ whata bunch of mad people comments today!!!!!!!!!! Donna
