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!

91. America is my homeland altho I live in a foreign land. I lost a brother in WWll who received the Bronze Medal, the Silver Medal and the Purple heart for bravery which my Mother proudly dissplayed on a table under a window which hung a small American FLAG. I had never ever heard the name Barak Obama until this election got under way therefore I had no opinion of the man. Then I happen to see him on TV alongside of Hillary and Edwards and the first thing that came to my mind was that he did not put his hand over his heart when the Pledge of Alligence was said. This was the first tip for me that this man is not what he is preaching. Then his refusing to wear a flag pin really opened my mind and ears.This flag pin is just a sign for the people to see that you are an american and stand for your patriatism Here is a man that wants to be PRESIDENT of a land that he openly shows the people what his feeling about this land is and who as everyone is talking about is also a member of a church for twenty years, attends services with his wife(who I might add is certainly an asset to him with remarks she herself has made openly on TV) and his children as well being preached to by a man who screams his hatred of American and hopes that she is DAMMED. What is wrong with American that they could ever even comdemplate voting for this man? I realize president Bush has done alot of damage to our country and maybe she has fallen to her knees but please don´t count her out she will stand again. She has been through hard times before but as long as we hold together and stride to correct the mistakes made then good times will return. The faith of a mustard seed is not too much to give in return for what our LAND stands for not only to us and our way of life but also to the world. Veterans day is coming up and my brother is buried only eighty kilometers from me so I will be attending the military services there and laying flowers on his grave. From nine children I am the only one who has been to his grave so I represent my family when I go. It may seem funny but I talk to him about many things. This year it will be hard to tell him of Obama and how so many Americans being taken in by a man who shows no pride for the land he died for at the age of eighteen. Tom Hanks.George Clooney,Oprah and best of all Michael Moore can endorse Barak Obama but his lady won´t join their group.I am just a small pea in a big pot that has worked hard all my life making my own decesions and not depending on empty headed rich and famous people who get rich from us lowly common workers to keep them rich. Wake up my fellow Americans, show the old girl you are behind her and vote the one you know will treat us all with pride and respect.

95. My vote always goes to the candidate or any other worthwhile purpose they DON'T ENDORSE. Any follywood actor who wants me to use my vote on their candidate is WASTING THEIR and they lose a vote for their choice. I vote for the ones they DO NOT ENDORSE.

96. Has Hanks even listened to Obama lately or watched the news? Character? Truth? Integrity? I guess Hanks has fallen for the Obama is the new messiah nonsense. It's odd to me that so many wealthy celebrities support socialist causes and socialist candidates.

97. Oh Tom,,,,,,,,,just stick to acting. REALLY, who gives a rat's ass who you are voting for. I hope your reading these posts. Now go back to making movies like a good boy.

98. You forgot to give up the third choice that most of us could use. "Who Cares". I would have checked the box on that third choice. These celebrity types need to shut the F$%K up and keep their opinions to themselves before the general, non-celebrity public demands equal time. This is so ridiculous for these star idiots to be allowed to use their fame and fortune to get stupid idiots such as Obama and Hillary into the White House.

99. I like Tom Hanks as an actor, but as a political diagnostician, no thanks, stick to acting and directing movies.

100. I guess Tom didnt see the Wright clip. It doesnt matter anyway because I'll vote for who I want. There is no celebrity who will influence my vote. But knowing who Tom Hanks is voting for gives me a better perspective of who he is.

104. Bummer, another good actor off my watch list. It amazes me these people who support someone for president that spent 20 years listening to a racist man who says he is a man of the cloth paleeze and says he didn't see that side. If he is that blind you think he can run the country? And why would he think his opinion would prompt me to vote his way, he is an ACTOR for goodness sakes.
