Tom Hanks Announces Support for Obama

[Bonnie79]

Reagan was a racist, I'm glad the scum bag is 6ft deep!!!

[crazykeyman]

The founders who *opposed* slavery wanted blacks counted as 3/5 of a person, in order to minimize the south’s representation so that slavery may be one day overturned. Slave states wanted them counted as 1 Non Slave states wanted 0, this was a compromise. Read the United States Constitution Article 1, Section 2, Paragraph 3. Then research what the North wanted and what the South wanted. I don't really think the south wanted their slaves to vote.

[onstageagain]

@crazykeyman Trump is a very smart business man.

we are selling our selves down the river with China ... Obama is one of the worst.

Take a look at this Obama & trump interview. Trump on Obama, China, OPEC and more

[crazykeyman]

@onstageagain Thank you so much for sharing that! I have never heard Trump speak politically before. He is brilliant! Definitely made a believer out of me.

[blumenthol]

I served 20 years in the Army and teach High School. I tell you - Tom Hanks and his like are a BIG part of what is WRONG with America. Tom Hanks is a left-wing fruitcake. He's an actor pretending to have real merit.

[rtsrts2]

what the fuck hoow dose he do this hole thing with lemmon juice in his eye

[taichibailongball]

Why are celebrities so incredibly dumb? I'm sure they're smart but their moral and political judgment is insane.

Anyway, goodbye Mr. Hanks. I loved your movies but from now on I will never pay to see any of your films.

[ryanspeed]

Hello...I'm Tom Hanks...and I have officially become a has-been dumbass!!

[luilun]

Tom you made an ass out of your self by endorsing a Muslim Fraud who's destroying America

[ryanspeed]

@luilun Correct! Not only has Tom made an ass out of himself so have all of the other celebrity clowns who endorsed him!

[bettyloutumor]

you're an idiot :)

[ryanspeed]

@bettyloutumor

Oh yea!? That's not what your momma called me after I drilled her in my bed last night!

[bettyloutumor]

oh yeah she called you a fucking retarded rapist :) you are nothing but a worthless, uneducated little pussy and that is all you will ever be :) hehe :)

[bettyloutumor]

you've mad an ass out of yourself by thinking obama is muslim and by thinking he is "destroying america". i wish obama was muslim if only that would make you angrier :)

the only thing destroying america is stupidity like yours :)

[luilun]

The only asses are the dumb asses like your self who voted for this Inept mother fucker

[bettyloutumor]

what have you ever done but somehow manage to find the 'on' button to your mommy's computer? LOL talk about "inept". you're just a worthless, uneducated pussy :)

[HayateAce]

Loved Tom Hanks before, and I won't change my opinion now. However, I hope he releases another video in the next 3 years saying he made a terrible mistake, and that he will never endorse any dirt bag politician again.

[runnercbc]

i will never watch another tom hanks movie ever again.

[braveheart1779]

so reagan , sonny bono and arnold werent actors?

republicans used to have connections to hollywood.... did you forget that?

republicans are the reason why obama won.

[greetingsearthlings1]

Tom hanks is just an actor people.

Actors are just people that get paid money to play make believe do not have a good grip on reality.

They dont know how to do anything for themselves. They dont even do their own shopping or wash their under where. If they were not actors they would be serving your late at star bucks

Quit listening to these people, dont be a mindless drone. If you vote, vote because you believe in something . Not because modern day gods command you to do so.

[JosieCashew]

I was told by a resident of Evansville, IN (where "A League Of Their Own." was partially filmed) that Tom and his wife Rita DID do their own grocery shopping.

[bluegsp]

Tom Hanks, love his movies, hate is political judgement.

Funny how most of Hollywood supported Obama, wonder if it has anything to do with the fact they live in a world of make believe.

[wbtaylor1]

Please don't compare Obama to Reagan. Obama is not fit to lick Reagan's shoes. Everything Reagan believed in, Obama opposes. Obama is a Marxist. Marxism was referred to by Reagan as the evil empire.

Reagan brought greatness to this great nation. Obama brings nothing but shame, poverty, and massive debt.

Reagan cut taxes and cut spending which brought long term growth to the economy. Barry spent 10 trillion dollars on pork for his banker buddies and old fashion Chicago Pay offs.

[Snowman374th]

Your little speech can be played with every president we've ever had. They all work together.. When this country figures that out they will stop voting and see another side. and then so on and so on..

Corruption rules the world now. unless people really want to fight for it. they should submit because they don't believe nothing they hear until it hits them.

[pitter43]

I always liked Hanks till now. He's proven that he's a lunatic and can't make simple judgments. Must be all the drugs that make most Hollywood types so simple. Must destroy good judgment first.

[takky9298]

"As an official celebrity I know my endorsement has made your mind up for you." Noooo....that's not at all condescending or patronizing.

[jasnic101]

Its called sarcasm. Definition: Sarcasm is a form of speech or writing which is bitter or cutting, being intended to taunt its target.

[FerretBob]

No, it's not. It's sarcastic...

[savagerules1]

Yes Tom your endorsement has just made up my mind for me , and that is ........ Ill never watch another movie of yours in theatres , and Im gonna destroy any and all dvds I own that has your face in it .

[1bulma1]

HE IS JUST BEEN SCARCASTIC

[LoadedGat]

Good, he doesn't need your money lmao.

[michelb08]

obama, mcain, bush, they all in the same street living for one thing: power and rule your mind for to control your financiel being cause thats what ur are to them. Expendibal assets!

[atemyplate]

We don't give a damn who the celebrities vote for. He can't give any good reasons why he endorses him.

[TonyaTko]

Nice Video!

I did one too about this whole debacle. I will send it to you. Tell me what you think.

-TonyaTko

[stew4lunch]

Am I the only one who notices a picture of a gigantic sinking ship on the left, behind Hanks? There couldn't be a more apt symbol, O Ship of State.

[lieutenanterrrrrrrr]

Oh and you didn't notice he had a load of typewriters aswell since he collects them, he likes history.

[carocatho]

I want Tom Hanks for president!!! lolol

[littleguy136]

obama is like Castro. Castro promised his people change in order to become the leader of Cuba then turned around and fucked everyone!

[littleguy136]

Hey!! FUCK ME MAN!! FUCK ME!!

[Thor599]

You konow I don't care much for Obama, but I'm not here to slam on the guy. What i do have to say is I really respect what Mr. Hanks had to say. He delievered it well and with intelligenece. I have heard many other people and celeberties, give their opinion. They acted (no pun intended for the celebrities) like they knew what they were talking about, but they were just making a fool of themselves.

[ThunderAppeal]

Yaaawwnnn.

Next!

[semiliteratedgod]

fuck you

[semiliteratedgod]

fuck you

[semiliteratedgod]

fuck you

[Cleverconveyence]

Ladies and gentlemen, the average McCain supporter!

[losing2]

Hey Tom ever see that show John Adams? lol our forefathers would not want either of them to be president....... you make me sick

[Thor599]

Hey I don't care for Obama either, but Adams was a dick when he was president and not too great as a matter of fact.

[norris3]

Tom Hanks career down the toilet. In this video. (And if not on it's own, it'll be blacklisted by the American people when they realize that Hussein Obama is not the man you all think he is.)

Do you REALLY know Hussein Obama, Mr. Hanks?

[kidkong584]

you know what? tom hanks why dont you run forest run for president? but until then OBAMA 08!

[SkylineTime]

I love how he has a picture of a sinking ship right over his shoulder. Kinda makes you think about what would happen if Obama got elected.

[antiTyph0n06]

I hate tom hanks now!

[usrnmna]

I DESPISE him now. He turns my stomach and will never, ever go see another one his movies again. He's, like Nobama, a fucking joke to me now.

[beatlegretsch]

Obama, refuses to drill here for oil and to start new nuclear reactors. What kind of energy policy is that???

He also agrees when the Supreme court's liberals conferred rights to enemy combatants! All he can do is smile and read a TelePrompTer, so, so pathetic!

[flip6543]

OBAMA FOR 08!!

[antiTyph0n06]

fuck barrack hussain osama!

[3swelldogs]

Approximate number of African American deaths since 1973

AIDS: 203,695

Violent Crimes: 306,313

Accidents: 370,723

Cancer: 1,538,350

Heart Disease: 2,266,789

Abortion: 13 million

Stats from blackgenocide org

Obama wants to raise the number of black women having abortions.

[backitupwithfacts]

Dang...and I thought Hanks was intelligent.

[timh270]

he has already shown he is willing to bullshit to get what he wants. he is not trustworthy,nor is he change history in any way. he is going to do exactly what he is told to do. witch brings up another issue, this is sad to see where you stand. I really thought you were better than that.

[VVendettaz]

IM over in Europe so I cant vote and don't have such a huge opinion on US elections. But come on Tom, he will not run the US with truth and integrity etc etc. the man voted to stay in Iraq and increase funding for it. That's enough for me to see Obama is already in the pockets of the elite money men.

[rrryyy666]

Shame on you Tom Hanks.

Obama is only for black folks.

[bonneremuneration]

If I was American, I shall vote either for Clinton or for Obama, but not for Mc Cain, because Mc Cain is similar that Bush and Bush is the worst of the American presidents...

[rrryyy666]

Probabley you are for Obama cause your connections to that black woman who is anti white.Oprah Winfrey.

I am sure you read History for pleasure.

Obama cannot win California,Ohio,Florida,West Virginia.

I would rather you would endorse Mccane.

At least Mccane is a good American.

I would rather have Mccane than Huseein Obama anyday

[drau92mk]

Hellooo! Tom Hanks! The Presidential inauguration doesn't happen in November; it occurs on Jan. 20. Evidently, if Tom really reads history for a hobby, he must not read American history, especially with regards to its government. I guess it just goes to show you that ignorance supports ignorance. BTW, since when does anyone care who a "celebrity" endorses? Tom, here's a little advice: Stick to something that you know and have any clout in doing..acting.

[Monicapowers]

LIES + SCANDALE + ME OR NOBODY = HILLARY

She knows that it's LOCKED for Obama. She is working to destroy her party this election, so she can get another chance 2012.

BYE BYE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

[usrnmna]

It's NOT LOCKED for Obama YET. If he becomes the Dem nominee ur right it will be BYE BYE DEMOCRATIC PARTY because he will LOSE in the GE to the Republican McCain.

Obama, who came out of no where and whom we still really don't know much about and whom this asshat celebritard ridiculously compares to one of the greatest figures in history (MLK) CANNOT and WILL NOT win without winning the big states (PA, OH, CA, TX, NH, etc.) He's lost every one of them to Hillary.

NOBAMA! NOBAMA! NOBAMA!

[jjmom3]

Has Hanks forgotten that it was not just the blacks descriminated against.. but women also were not allowed to viote.

[cadetstarnoodle]

The end justifies the means; I am very pleased when ANYONE voices support for the (obviously) best candidate to help ourselves save our asses. How is it that anyone in his or her right mind (that's a big allowance, it seems, these days) can say that things are going well and we don't need to make better choices. The two Republican candidates, H. Clinton and McCain, have every intention of keeping the status quo. A vote NOT for Obama is to ruin it for everyone, worldwide.

[FrankLarryProduction]

Does anyone really care what celebs say about who they'll vote for? He made a mistake by the way. Obama won't be sworn in in November.

[Boukephalos1]

Tommy, Tommy,Bittergate, Rezko, Auchi, Ayers, shady loans, Moveon-org, Dailykos, George Soros(not Greek Tom) muslims overseas,and the wonderful REV. Wright. This guy isn't innocent he is a fraud. He is not above race, he is all about race. 2 mos ago he thru Grandma to the wolves and last week the Rev Wright. No reason for grandma but to save the Rev Wright, but with declining bitter typical white folks votes it was bye bye rev wright. Don't associate with this guy or you could be next.

[keygain]

Please remember that this view is coming from Forrest Gump.

I, too, wrote and approve of my posting.

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT---2008!

[jjmom3]

LOL! Too Good, Keygain! I bet even Bubba would have voted for Hillary.

[jakesunrider01]

Obama did not have the experience to be prez, so he made the campaign about his judgement. So, Let's look:

1. He voted for partial birth abortion and against protecting babies who survive late term abortion (murderer)

2. He chose the worst of friends who he had to get on TV and disown(judgement???)

3. He supported Louis Farrakhan who said, whites r potential humans who have not evolved yet (RACISM???)

Now go to the voting booth and make your judgement.

Osamabama not to be the prez!

[NYCPulpHero]

neither did other politicians before they ran

[shaunanikki1]

Bravo! Well spoken from one classy man about another man full of class. Did we forget that actors are allowed to speak their mind too? I am glad Tom Hanks is speaking up on something he beleives in, thats his right!

[semiliteratedgod]

hanks knows

[usrnmna]

Knows what? He's another celebritard that doesn't know SHIT.

[semiliteratedgod]

c'mon, he's a fucking good actor!

"celebritards" know politicians or people that know them very well, that's why their support counts

[usrnmna]

Obama will NEVER BE PRESIDENT. :)

[semiliteratedgod]

how would you know, RETARD! :)

[usrnmna]

Anyone who'd vote for this excruciatingly experience joke of a candidate is a RETARD.

[semiliteratedgod]

what's the alternative, you fucking scumbag??

A fucking crazy geriatric warmonger? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU STUPID MONKEY??

[usrnmna]

I guess the alternative is this inexperienced joke who hasn't even served one full term in the Senate and who's only qualifications that I can see are that he's charismatic and speaks well, with absolutely so substance, btw.

McCain is not a crazy war monger, honestly. Oh, and grow up. Calling people stupid names like a little snotty-nosed trantrum throwing kindergartner doesn't make for good argument.

Love, Stupid Monkey. :)

[semiliteratedgod]

McCain is fucking DUMB, he should retire you asshole.

Anybody would be a better president that McSame! He always was a fucking stupid crazy asshole (fifth from bottom at Naval Academy) now he's old too and he shouldn't be president.

Please stay at home, idiots shouldn't vote!

[usrnmna]

Your username befits you perfect. Now go to your room and play with your little toys. You STUPID FUCKING PIECE OF IGNORANT PIECE OF SHIT!

[semiliteratedgod]

You fucking redneck moron dumb superstitious nazi scumbag, who do you think you are, you useless piece of shit! McInsane doesn't have a fucking chance in this election! YOU'RE FUCKED NEOCON PUPPET SCUMBAG! Go fuck yourself!

[usrnmna]

AND WHO IN THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TELLING SOMEONE NOT TO VOTE?! Who's the fucking Nazi, here? All I said was that Obama is an experienced joke of a candidate,how in hell did you get out of that that I'm a nazi scumbag, and this one's a doozy, superstitious?! WTF, psycho?!

[usrnmna]

McInsane doesn't have a chance you say? Have you looked at the polls lately? Obama's only up by 3 or 4 points. He should be up by 15, 20

points for you say stupid shit like that. And lot of people lie when polled, they say they'll vote for one candidate but they'll vote for the other and this fact goes against Obama.This NYT's reporter, who's black, BTW, not that makes a difference said he believes the polls are flawed and that he believes the points are higher for McCain and lower for BO.

[semiliteratedgod]

Polls don't mean shit before the conventions, you racist scumbag! Perot was leading at this time...

Look at the economy bitch! Do you think all the people are fucking dumb and uneducated the way you are? Can't see through that crazy geriatric bastard and his brainless empty angry fucked up head?

His experience is a lifetime of privilege and posing and doing nothing in Washington, it's void!

lmfao@"left-leaning"

you fucking douchebag, you're a joke, go fucking kill yourself nazi scum!

[usrnmna]

Why do you think just because I don't support Obama that I'm a racist. I'm not, but I don't have to explain that to some crazed, cashew-size brained psycho who obviously refuses take their meds.

[semiliteratedgod]

oh, so you're on meds fucking dumb madshit!

thanks, that explains a lot ...

[usrnmna]

OMG. Not only are you a cashew-size brained lunatic, your reading comprehension is nil. I was obviously stating that about you, you maniacal, childish, name-calling, super psycho. LOL!

[semiliteratedgod]

c'mon, you already said that ... take those meds and shut the fuck up

[usrnmna]

LOL!

[usrnmna]

Also, instead of us having an intelligent, mature, civilized argument about this topic, Jeffrey Dahmer here has to resort to calling me names like stupid monkey, nazi scumbag, moron, superstitious (LOL!), racist and so on.

I feel sorry for you and this is a complete waste of my precious time.

[usrnmna]

Oh, just one more, I swear. This is also a weak, stupid, non-sensical come-back. Still LMAO, even harder this time. Heehee.

[semiliteratedgod]

u left 5 fucking replies from "1 hour ago" to "16 minutes ago"?! and you say your time is precious?? LOL did you take your fucking meds pal? stfu anyway fucking obama basher

[usrnmna]

I know, but I just had make time to respond to your swift come-backs.

I wouldn't support Obama no matter what color he is, so WHY DO YOU THINK THAT I'M A RACIST JUST BECAUSE I DON'T SUPPORT OBAMA?

[usrnmna]

And one last thing...what a pathetic come back! LOL!

[usrnmna]

You haven't answered my question. Why Do You Think That I'm A Racist Just Because I Simply Do Not Support Obama? I would think he's unqualified no matter what color he is. So...?

[usrnmna]

And BTW, you insane douchebag, I'm a bit of left-leaning, life-long Democrat Los Angelian.

[usrnmna]

I meant excruciatingly INEXPERIENCED.

[cyrus2020]

Obama is dishonest. Obama has shown bad judgment by choosing friends like anti-American Jermiah Wright and terrorist Bill Ayers. Obama is not qualified to the president of the United States.

[CuriousKreature]

OBAMA 08 MUDA FUKAS

[mikeprath]

Nice...  Barack 08!!!!

[cascadefoothills]

Way to go, Tom. I attended a speech by Michelle Obama today and was blown away. Not your typical political speech at all. No false promises, pandering, fear mongering, in short...a breath of fresh air.

[HowdyCallmeDaddy]

Ok Tom Hanks now officially sucks. What a retard, Hussein Obama is terrible choice. SO is hillary, and John McCain sucks to, but I guess I will vote for McCain unfortunately. I voted for Ron Paul in my primary.

And if he wants to talk about the founding fathers. They would shit themselves if they saw a negro as the president, thats just the truth. George Washington owned slaves. What would he say about Obama????... maybe Go wash my car?

[aTypicalWhitePerson]

Sorry Tom, My mother loves you, And I never thought I would say this but,, You're an Asshole!

[caa1000]

Tom, did you said something like "Stupid is as stupid does?"

[trueblue1217]

yikes!

[killsadie]

"i have aids"

[votethirdpartynow]

u lost weight Tom, lookin good! guess who I'm voting for? I know you'll click my name & check out my channel & this action will compel u to change your mind. u'll then come to u'r senses and see that both the dnc & gop are the made from the same cloth & yes, u'll have no choice, but to do the right thing, cause Tom, just about anyone running on 3rd party ticket has the right stuff

Say Tom, why don't u run for something, make a difference, I bet u can't be bought, just not mayor of Carmel

[votethirdpartynow]

psst... AP take the ad off! really, shame on you guys, trying to make money off of Tom Hanks political endorsement.

4th estate indeed bah!

[BobbyHollis88]

at a boy tom!

[RickArter]

For having so much money what a crappy video....

[MTGunNut]

Tom Hanks, how could you do this?

[DonkeyFist]

Wow, Tom Hanks author of many peer reviewed political studies in many political science journals, with so many reputable degrees in political science, public policy and administration, and law, has given a recommendation for a candidate.

Screw the opinions of my Doctorate or Master of Art Professors and Parents or qualified journalists and political analysts. Tom Hanks...catch me if you can.

[EngelFilms]

You're an idiot, just in case you weren't paying attention, he made it clear that his opinion doesn't really matter by sarcastically saying "As an official celebrity I know my endorsement has just made your mind up for you." He made it clear that he is just another American casting his vote, and all others should do the same no matter whom they plan to vote for. Yes i understand this is an endorsement, but my point still stands.

[fretlessbass26]

EngelFilms is right. that little prattle from DonkeyFist makes me wonder if he actually watched the video, or he just posted his opinion based on the title of the vid.

[DonkeyFist]

It's obvious Hanks thinks this is a clever endorsement of a candidate and he's serious of his intention of voting for Obama. Look at the media coverage, Tom Hanks has just gotten Obama significant Web, TV, and Radio media coverage because of his Myspace endorsement that wouldn't have existed had Hanks not made the video.

Fact is that many Americans will see this coverage and let it sway their opinions. He makes a joke saying "I'm a celebrity haha" yet the Media is flooded with Obama's name now

[fretlessbass26]

the media was flooded with obamas name before this. and for good reason so thats not really true. hanks has the right to back whoever he pleases, publicly or privately, just like the rest of us.

[octcalderon]

Tom Hanks-VP

[Traviszabora]

OH well.. No longer a Tom Hanks fan

[fretlessbass26]

you can't be a fan of his, because he has a different political affiliation than you do... thats a little on the "ignorant holier-than-thou conservative" side isn't it?

[azas1949]

Yay, Tom Hanks and Barack Obama!

Mr. Hanks not only are you talented, but intelligent as well!

Thank you for your support. Those of us in Indiana appreciate your support for Obama on the eve of our primary.

Love Ya!
