Tom Hanks Endorses Barack Obama

 

 

Tom Hanks has joined the likes of Oprah Winfrey in making a public endorsement for president.

The Oscar-winning actor posted a brief monologue on his MySpace page backing Barack Obama.

"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", he says.

Hanks says the country needs a "seismic shift" and Obama has "the integrity and the inspiration to unify us."

  • I lost respect for Tom Hanks after learning he left Samantha for a castmember. According to what I read he did the "honorable thing" by divorcing Samantha for Rita Wilson. Wouldn't it be a hoot if he fell in love once again with a fellow castmember...

  • If Barack doesn't make it, Tom should be president. We know him more and if Arnold Sw. can be the head of something, why not Tom. We love you Tom and thanks for your entertainment for all these decades.
