I care. It's very interesting to see who "comes out" in support of which candidate, and why.

On the whole, it seems that celebrity supporters of Obama tend to be people known as much for their intelligence and/or good character as for their talents.

Celebrity endorsers of Clinton seem much more likely to be the usual, predictably superficial types.

Hardly scientific — but really very telling, nonetheless.

If you are backing Obama because he is black. You are blind wrong. If you don't listen to what he wants to do and who is backing him you are wrong. He has no idea of what to do. He has no real ideas except the ones he had when in washington. Which was what ever Bush wanted he backed him. This can be proven by looking at his record for the time he has been in washington.

CNN pushes the only positive article on Obama today down the order..

They are gradually losing credibility in my eyes of being non-biased. I'm sure there more who share my views around the world, not just in America.

loser angs whit losers!!!! ciao ciao bambino!!!!

I am with you Marine! WHO CARES!!!

OOPS! MEANT TO SAY WHEN THINGS DO GET WORSE!, AND BELIEVE ME THEY WILL!

Thanks Mr Hanks….. …. One Excellent actor backs one Excellent candidate…

loser angs whit losers

why is this news? - again media helping obama - who has no real solutions - but actors support actors and obama acts like he knows — he knows textbook - not hard core presidential grut.

A lot of us care. Welcome aboard Tom. Let's get it done.

Wilson!!! they consider Wilson 3/5 a human being.

i care

Tom Hanks = Super super SUPER delegate!

Everyone that is tired of "tired" HRC. The woman is friggin broken record. Let's move on beating McCain!

Obama 08!!

Marie

All of us do and you know what? we do care about you too. We know you will get back to your senses and vote OBAMA. If you don't vote Obama that's ok he will still love you and you will benefit like everyone else.

Who cares that clueless in Seatle endorses

Looks like Forrest Gump made a mistake with his box of chocolates: choose another one Forrest…that one is bitter…

Yes We Can!

Wake up Marine ~ you'll have plenty of time to sleep once Hillary is put to bed. maybe in 2012… sweet dreams

Nothing surprising here. Tom Hanks supporting Obama. Why is this news?

One more person to hold accountable if Obama gets the nomination and when the Democrats lose the White House AGAIN!

Better wake the hell up North Carolina, Indiana and AMERICA! Has anyone been paying attention the last 7 horryifying years?

A vote for Obama is a vote for McCain!

"And that's all I have to say about that…"

Let me be the first to congratulate you on CNN's posting area, Tom, for joining Obama for President.

Where did they dig him up - if the BO campaign are resorting to C rate actors for support, they must really be in trouble.

Just who is Senator Obama competing with to be "the first black president"? I thought he was just running for president, and I certainly am not aware of any other black candidates running for the office this year.

Words matter, journalists.

I used to admire you justr cause you r a talented actor. But even good actors can show this sort of poor judgment

The virtue is always in the middle.

Hillary 08!!
Yes she will

Tom Hanks has lost my respect at all!

He is nothing!

You first and me of course!!!

Back at'cha Miss Race car driver!! What's er name again?

Hummm, when you think Tom Hanks and what's her name again?

Congratulations Tom, for being a great actor, and for being an American who realizes we need change. Hopefully your message will be well noticed by all those undecided.

Just like that Racer backing Hillary. Please, Tom Hanks Endorsment will go alot further then a race car driver… Too bad, CNN should have a Ticker that says CNN ENDORSES HILLARY with all love they are spreading to the Clinton camp….

CNN it took u 2 day to report this.

CNN is on Hillary's pay roll.

This is important because, as many of you may not have heard, Tom Hanks is a Superdelegate representing Hollywood, CA.

Welcome……

Thanks for the right choice.

Thank You Tom Hanks,

We Got This Election…..Keep Your Head Up Obama!!!

Obama 08

thank you Tom.!!!!!

Why isn't CNN reporting Barack super delegates support he received today? There were quite a large number of them. And to the Marine who said 'who cares' i agree, it's just how i felt when CNN reported the nascar driver (who i never heard of) was endorsing Clinton.

Tom Hanks is an intelligent celebrity, while Liz Taylor is not.
Their movies showed their talent and depth.

Birds of the same feather flock together.
Hanks for Obama, while Taylor for Hillary.

Thank you, Tom Hanks. Good Choice in the Midst of Clinton's negative campaign.

I don't think celebrity endorsements matter very much…But being a great fan of Tom Hanks, I am glad to know that he has good judgment…

We all new Tom Hanks was smart, but this just proves it, he's a freakin genius!

OBAMA 08!!

Who gives a Flying Flip??????????

Tom Hanks, what are you thinking?!?! I am really surprised but it won't change my mind at all. I am still voting for Hillary Clinton. She is the best candidate for President and I can't wait to see her in the White House. GO HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!

true, History will be made this November, no matter who wins.

It didnt take long did it…Here comes the Clinton supporters saying that this doesnt mean anything BUT YET Elton John's (a person that cant even vote in this country and his fundraiser for Clinton was borderline illegal) does!

Thanks Tom Hanks!!

Let the Tom Hanks bashing begin!!!! He is only an A list actor and a two time consecutive best actor Oscar Winner.

I knew I always loved Tom Hanks for some reason!!!!

Now I love him "more"!

Welcome to the winners circle…….

Add up all the celebrity endorsements and the I.Q. remains in double digit territory. It's a toss up between "Run Obama Run!" and "life is like a box of (light) chocolates!" as the theme for Mr. Hanks' politicall advert. Speaking of Oprah, she's been mighty silent lately. No need to wonder why, as the answer is obvious: Ratings!

Thanks Tom! I am very worried about CNN. Why are they the only news network reporting Obama to be behind in their poll of polls in Indiana? Why are they not reporting the four supers that Obama picked up over the weekend and the two he picked up today and the three he will be picking up later today from Illinois? I know they are aware of all this, I just don't get why they aren't reporting it!

Obama 08.

Yes
WE
Can

Since when did he become a super delegate?

Oh wait, he's not!

THIS IS NOT NEWS!

Thank goodness we have MySpace, YouTube, and the internet in general. C-Span on TV is good too. Because the so called "mainstream" media is on Hillary Clinton's bandwaogn. She has no money for paid ads, but she doesn't need it. She has CNN.

Hillary acts like republicans, she cannot win.

OBAMA '08

Three more super delagates endorsed Obama today, and not even a mention by CNN. Instead they chose to highlight the endorsment of a race car driver for Hillary.

If even Forest Gump endorses Obama, how can we lose.

I know Sen. Clinton has the short haired, dirty blonde, fast driving, trash talking, women's vote sewn up… So we may have to give up at least that demographic. But, I'd almost be willing to bet that she doesn't even have a full lock on that group either!

I'm sure Mr. Gump would say something to the effect of "Sen. Clinton's campaign is like a box of chocolates, you'll never know what you are going to get in the last 24 hours before the polls open."

Obama/Gump '08

Smart man that Tom Hanks.

Love ya Tom! Welcome aboard.

Haha.

No kidding, yes he claims to be black, but is really a muslim preparing to dismantle the United States from the inside out as proclaimed by Al Queda.

Woot.

I care.

Thank you Tom! Welcome aboard.

Obama 08′

Ditto.

This is sooooooo funny, Clinton gets endorsed by an indy racer and there is over 100 comments, Tom Hanks endorses Obama and he's gotten 1, as of 02:38 pm central std time on 05-05-08. Tom you may want to rethink your support bud…..

The DNC is the big loser in this mess.
Somebody should educate them , one vote per person and make it count.
Endorsements have become a side show and turn a serious political process into nothing more than tabloid politics.
Race and gender shouldn't be a factor , vote for your candidate based on the issues.

Okey Dokey Tom, You R the Man! You know truth when you see it and hear it. Some people just want the same old same old mess. They don't care that with McCain and Clinton nothing will change it will get worse and we will be sold to the lowest bidder. They will ship 85% of our jobs overseas and pocket whatever they can. They don't care about America or Americans. They just want in by any means possible. I hope that the people wake up to the LIES AND CHEATING of Clinton & McCain and their campaign people.

For All the Hype about oil prices and the WAR ! ( never was formally declared a war.) it seems to me that the candidates can spend some of their election money on the veterans of this "WAR" and not on negative propaganda. If one of them did that, and not care about what the other guy said. That would be the one i vote for.

Way to go Tom Hanks…Superdels please follow suit..

Obama 08′

The man is an actor — who cares? A man who makes a living by pretending backs a man who runs a presidency by pretense. How fitting! Either Obama is lying to us about all of a sudden repudiating Wright or he has no grasp of reality –neither a good characteristic for running this country!

BREAKING NEWS! The horse of Indy's racer has just endorsed Clinton too!

Seriously; Tom you are a man!

Mr. Hanks, you've had a very fortunate career, but you've picked the wrong candidate. Our country has been left with serious problems by the Bush administration. Sen. Clinton's candidacy is a rare window of opportunity to elect a woman who will probably make a more capable president than any we have had in the history of our country. Many of us like Sen. Obama, but It was his choice to run too soon. He's not ready for this job.

me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hepeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Big Deal ! joe smoe backs Hillary. So does Jane Doe

Cnn is getting Ridiculious. That is why Fox is becoming more credible.

Thanks for endorsement Tom…now I will vote for Hillary or John McCain.

Yay! At least not all famous people are morons and liars!

WAY TO GO TOM!

I LOVE YOU MORE!!!!!

OBAMA 08§!

We have a whacky relationship with celebrities in this country. We get all wrapped up in who this actor or that singer wants to be president, when it really matters no more than the guy that fixes your car or delivers your Pizza.

Has Tom Hanks become some respected legal scholar while I wasn't looking? No, he's just some guy with an opinion. He's entitled to it of course, but it's not news.

i think you do jar head!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy to see it- but what about the two Maryland superdelegates that have also endorsed Obama today. By reporting on an albeit popular and charismatic celebrity endorsements, and failing to mention endorsements from those that have actual bearing on the campaign, CNN falls ever more deeply into the sensantionalist spin trough. Sad, CNN, very sad…

If Obama somehow is President, life will be like a box of chocolates, we'll never know what we're gonna get.

Obama is a fatally flawed candidate who cannot beat McCain in the Fall.

Way to go Tom!!! Thanks for the vote of confidence for our next President of the United States!!!

By the way Marine, I CARE!!!!

Way to go Tom!!! Thanks for the vote of confidence for our next Presdient of the United States!!!

By the way Marine, I CARE!!!!

Is Charlie Wilson available for comment? Would love to get him onboard also.

Way to go Tom. You know McSame and the Hildabeast should both be avoided like the plague….

)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

I was going to say "Who Cares" but Marine beat me to it!

)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

Private Ryan just saved Obama!

Guess its better than Liz.

Welcome aboard…can you feel the nomination approaching?!

To bad he isn't a superdelegate…

What does Tom Hanks have to do with anything???? Is there no other news or issues to report on???????

Tom Hanks Rocks!

obviously you do marine.

one of many who see through clinton lies and corruption

Of course he does….he's smart.

TOM HANKS,YOU ARE THE MAN OF THE HOUR.LETS STOP THE SYSTEMATIC RAPE THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS FORCING UPON US!!!
OBAMA08

Who cares who he endorses? He's not a super delegate or a part of Obama's campaign. This isn't political news to me.

Obama '08

Thank you Tom Hanks. I wish more of Hollywood would back Obama.

Tell your friends in Hollywood to GOOGLE CLINTONS AND
CLINTON'S OUTSOURCING. THESE ARE THE BONNIE AND CLYDES OF MODERN DAY POLITICS.

THERE WILL BE A MOVIE ON THESE MISDEEDS. SO READ ON
HOLLYWOOD.

AND THANKS TOM HANKS FOR KNOWING WHAT WE ARE DEALING
WITH, WITH THE CLINTONS.

Wish he was a superdelegate!

why is it that all the accomplished and seemigly intelligent people who are able to think beyond a scare tactic are lining up behind Obama?

What an unflattering photo! Put something better up there

I don't think anyone is surprised that the left wing actors and musicians are going to support the far left wing of the democratic party. Most of us don't want the far left wing of the democratic party in the white house any more than the far right wing of the republican party.

I saw that endorsement. Looks like Hanks was reading it off a teleprompter. Not quite from the heart, huh?

yes we care!! We want a president who is honest and has integrity and Obama has both. I hope more people make their support for Obama vocal, so he gets the support e needs to kick Hilary out of this race that she is dragging tooo looonnnnggg!

Thank you

I love Tom Hanks!
Vote Obama!

I did…

wow…i'm impressed by tom. (Made ref to 3/5 Compromise). weird. he must really like history. I like tom hanks. i like barack obama.

WOOHOO.

OBAMA 08′!!!!1

I don't care what celebrity endorses who.

But I do care about policy, about beliefs (and/or lack thereof), and what a candidate stands for.

I feel a lot more comfortable with Barack Obama, and what he stands for, than for Hillary Clinton, and what she stands for (this week).

I don't care what Tom Hanks thinks. I can think for myself.

Thanks Tom
Obama 08

Yay! All the smart and cool people endorse Obama.

Tom hanks is a joke…. he always jumps on the band wagon, and except for Bill Clinton, his candidate of choice has never won.

And all of your recent movies have sucked.

Hillary supporters just make me laugh. I still do not understand why the words and beliefs of someone else effect the candidate who went to his church. I have attended plenty of church services that I do not agree with. Because I was there for a sermon makes me believe in that? People do have their own minds!! The joke is on the Hillary supporters who believe every lie she feeds them, and they choose to ignore the blatant ones, like Bosnia!!!

I left negative posts on two of Hillary's celebrity endorsements, so I guess I must do the same.

Why does this matter? CNN, report on something that matters like Paul vs. Clinton.

Obama '08

thanks tom for your "black" skin color vote…. forget about credentials, thinking, policies, and what pew you sat in for 20 years.

are you just acting?

Thank you Mr Hanks…

Good show, Tom.

"History with a capital 'H' is going to be made this November, no matter who the president-elect is. I want Barack Obama to be president of this country, a country that once said people with his skin color were only three-fifths of a human being."

And an ole self-serving fool like rev. wrong doesn't get it.

So, Marine…does this mean you believe that Barack Obama's 3/5th's of a human being? Please…feel free to tell us how much of a racist you are.

Have a nice day, 'Marine'….and I'm sorry, Marine's aren't racists. Or they're not supposed to be. Just ask my old man who was a REAL Marine for 23 years…

we do care Marine. the people who truly love this country and will vote for the better nominee without paying any attention to party affiliation. I am a proud republican supporting Barack Obama for president

That's awesome. Barack Obama is the best candidate to be President and it's great to seem him garner so much support. Yes We Can!!

Another moron heard from.

WHY TOM HANKS MATTERS– Filmmaker Tom Hanks appreciates history and the guiding principles that make our country great. His work reflects his desire to see us live up to our highest ideals. Whether it is through telling the story of John Adams, World War II, or small- town America in "That Thing You Do," he is all about doing the right thing.

You might not know it, but Tom Hanks is a fourth cousin, four generations removed, of former President Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States.

Watch his endorsement of Barack Obama on YouTube. Better yet CNN — why don't you include the whole transcript instead of the silly piece you chose to include above with the ridiculous photo you picked.

Tom Hanks offers a message I hope all Americans will take to heart, now and in November.

Tom Hanks — you are the best!

This is a great endorsement, from a great guy. Mr. Hanks is a man that is not fooled by the lies of Sen. Clinton. He believes America must move forward to a brighter and better America. Mr. Hanks judgement also represents his movie performances which is the best.
Thanks Mr. Hanks for your support, and contiune to make great movies.

YES WE CAN
OBAMA/CASEY '08

Sorry……Tom……what were you thinking? duh?!!
I know……more of me in Entertainment Tonight and Jay Leno….Etc.!!!
Good Luck….you ll need it!!!

I knew that I liked this man! Thanks Tom

I do! Way to go TOM!

Tom Hanks comments about the black population and how they were once seen (years in the past) is a racial comment and Barack Obama should not be nominated just because he is black.

Speaking of Oprah, where is she? Was she just there for the black vote in South Carolina? I heard her show took a major dump in ratings after her public display of support for Obama? I wonder why she quit going to that racist church so many years ago. I guess it did not take her as long to see the light.

Back to taking out my comments again - oh well, I guess you have nothing better to do.

Thanks, Tom!

My friend told me that you have a new movie out. I am going to see the movie today. Just to let Clinton supporters know that Obama supporters cares.
Thank you- Hanks.

Obama 08

Let's do a news story on, which candidate is most likely to defend and honor the Constitution. Ya know, review the job description.

I care! Mr. Hanks is a man of ability and intelligence.

Thanks Tom!
Welcome.

Obama 08′

Another smart American!

I care. Tom Hanks is right. African Americans…it's so hard to believe that our country once spoke of them that way. That is shameful and it shows if we elect Barack Obama that we have made some strides. Good for you Tom Hanks for pointing that out.

Who is the real elitist?? A pat on the head and 30 bucks in the wallet might sway a few folks, but the truth is it's more of the same misleading, elitist, top-down Beltway nonsense that's gotten us into the mess we're in.

marine!!! you have got to be a clinton supporter.so negative.no one told you.to be on the losing side.it's your fault."lollllll

Agree Marine….Who cares!

I care. Here's someone who a great deal of people respect as a wonderfully talented artist, who consistently chooses thought-provoking projects like Philadelphia, Saving Private Ryan, and Charlie Wilson's War in order to help and heal (and call into question) our nation's collective conscience. And now he's come out with his honest, straightforward endorsement of Barack. He knows that his choice shouldn't make up other people's minds for them, but he also knows that his voice will encourage others to at least listen to Barack's message of hope and change. Way to go, Mr. Hanks!

OBAMA '08!!!!!

Well, whoopeee ding!!! Forrest Gump rides again!

This is so non-significant. He is just an ordinary citizen backing Obama - his being an actor means nothing. Please report some important news CNN.

Fantastic! Another great american with common sense, something that a lot of people lacks. I see why so many people are conned on a daily basis, they will believe anything if it sounds good. Think about it people, how can a 30 cents gas drop help us for two months. We need a permanent fix. It doesn't take rocket scientist to figure this one out, or does it. hmmmm

Welcome aboard

way to go Tom - OBAMA is definitely the best candidate - even if one is uneducated - then atleast listen to your educated sons/daughters - dont just listen to negative overexposure of negative commenatry by CNN - listen to the educated people and vite for OBAMA - we finally have a real leader who will make the USA SAFER, better ECONOMIVALLY< bring MORE JOBS and do more GOOD Internationally - Go OBAMA !!!

What a bunch of bologna.

he has always been my favorite!

now I see how he has been so good at his job. it's the ethics, stupid!

Welcome to the Obama train……come out SD's and support the one with integrity and enough honesty to inform the public with reality rather than panhandle extra votes.

Wooooopi….. Who cares…..

The Three-fifths Compromise was from 1787! Are you kidding me! Hanks is a joke.
Let us all be reminded that blacks owned slaves too.
I have no confidence in any of the candidates, and that is sad.
To think I once thought that Hanks was an intelligent man, shame on him.
Obama will tear this country apart, because he is not who we think he is, we don't even know him.
I hear woman at work voting for Obamba , not even his name, because he aint old and rinkley like Clinton- God help us.

Love Tom Hanks and his movies.

Another Smart person who knows that Obama is a uniter and can heal this country.

Clinton can keep Elton John, I'll take Tom Hanks for him any day of the week.

Omaba '08

I love Tom Hanks, I just don't happen to agree with him. Most actors are extreme liberals. I am a moderate liberal. I, as a Reagan Democrat, will never vote for Obama. It has nothing to do with race. It has to do with the lies he has told and the way he hym haws around questions. He never really seems to answer. He was not sure how he would have voted for the war in Iraq when supporting Kerry. Now that he knows most of us disagree with the war, he is against it. He claimed he was born as a result of the Selma marches, he was born before they took place? He only took 150 thousand dollars from Rezko, Lie. He never heard Rev. Wright speak like that, oops wait, I did but now I disagree. I could no longer disown Rev Wright then I could my White Grandmother? Now I can throw my uncle/mentor under the bus, because it is politically necessary.

Thank you Tom. The right thing to do.

Hopeful that the scales will be removed off the eyes of others.

Real leaders have to inpire and unite the country.

All Hillary does is further dividing the Democratic Party and the Country. Time to step down for Hillary

OBAMA '08 & '12

I love you Tom…..

BARACK THE VOTE!!!

Obama 08

Thanks Tom
Welcome in the club of the winners

Obama 08..

I HAVE SEEN EVERY TOM HANKS MOVIE

& WILL SEE ALL OF THEM AGAIN.

THANK YOU MUCH SIR. FOR THE MOVIES &

YOUR EXCELLENT JUDGMENT.

Who cares who Tom Hanks supports. Who cares about any Hollywood Actor/Actress supporting politicians. Very few of them have any loyalty when they marry about fifteen times before they die.

Barrack Obama, Hilliary Clinton, and John McCain are all loyal from my perspectives. Especially after what Hilliary went through and could still remain loyal to her husband.

The issues should not be Bill Clinton or Barrack's wife and minister, it should be the issues and where they stand. Hilliary and John are at a bigger disadvantage because they are veterans. Barrack is still wet behind the ear and no telling if he will accomplish what he says he wil or will not do.

The bottom line is what the people as a whole think and what those disloyal super delegates will or will not do.

This barrack supporter doesn't really care about a Tom Hanks endorsement. I prefer Parris Hilton. At least this way, he can gain the stuck up vote.

I echo your sentiment. No one really cares what Tom Hanks thinks.

Thanks Tom. Welcome aboard.

I don't even remember who Tom Hanks is anymore. His fifteen minutes of fame are gone by the wayside. I guess he needs to back the leader and try to ride the coattails like everyone else!

welcome to the winner's circle, Tom Hanks. I have always liked you. thanks for your support.

Thanks…….Mr. Hanks

Obama '08

Clinton supporters thought it was a big deal to be endorsed by a race car driver nobody knows. Now it is "Who Cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty immature.

MR. HANKS NOT ONLY DOES GREAT WORK BUT

HAS GREAT JUDGMENT & TASTE.

ADMIRE & THANK YOU ALWAYS.

Thank you, Mr. Hanks. It is becoming very apparent who the smart guys are.

And I've changed my mind. I can't vote for Hillary if she steals the nomination. My conscience, heart and mind will not allow it.

Thank you Tom, but cnn, this is old News. Why are you only printing this today?

Sometime today you will be printing the names of "Three" new Obama Endorsements by the following.

1) Kaylyn Freer

2) Dem. Party Chairman, Michael Cryor

3) Vice charwoman Lauren Glove.

thanks cnn

why haven't any of you red neck, trailer trash, High school drop-out tobacco chewing, idiots realize that it is possible that the government wants you to stay stupid. Republicans do not want you to question them. That's why they get away with years of doing what they want and now we all are paying for it!!

I'm sure you guys still love the lie in your face george bush. he was a "c" student in High School and college.

Dumb people never learn.
You guys rather have a "dumb White president" than
A "SMART BLACK PRESIDENT"
Uhm maybe it's in your water…nah… must be your genes
stupid people believe everything you see/hear on limbaugh,savage,hannity,
I don't care.. Stay dumb!!!!

Okay…Hillary camp and CNN, Obama says I see your endorsement by Sara Fisher and raise you a Tom Hanks! Sara Fisher? Who? Sara Fisher? This was my exact response when I heard the Clinton camp touting the endorsment of Sara Fisher.

I DO!!! As well as MILLIONS of us who actually BELIEVE in the Declaration of the United States, The Constitution, The Bill of Rights, and "the good of the many outweigh the good of the one or the few" - Capt. Spock, USS Enterprise :)!!!

Go, Tom Hanks!!! GO ON WITH YOUR BAD SELF, Barack Obama!!!

Obama - '08

WOW what an exciting bit of news,…. I guess tonite I'll need a couple of Tylenol PM!!!!!

Yeah to Tom Hanks.

All you Clinton supporters need to go online and look up PAUL vs Clintons BEFORE it's too late.

Obama, 08.

never mind back to the huffington report

Thank You Tom. You still value HONESTY

HAY BABY HOW SWEET IS THAT.

THANK YOU SIR & LOVE YOUR WORK

Quick rush out and vote for Obama. Mr. Hanks go back to that Island and stay there, Please.

gummmp!!!! why did you endorse that candidate so fast??????

because he's winning, drill sargeant!!!!!!!!

we care Marine…

All endorsements are appreciated and bring attention to many of the issues that may not get covered otherwise!

Thanks, Tom!

many of us care just becoz u dont care doesnt mean everyone. to some of us its a big endorsement. the trouble is its way too late cnn it was yesterday already. so its old news. no surprise there typical cnn. if he had endorsed clinton it would have bn out yesterday. cnn you are pathetic you have no shame.

Thanks Tom,
You made the right choice.

Women didn't count at all!

YES WE CAN, TOM HANKS. Thank you for your support. You are awesome. Barack Obama 08

I used to be a great fan of cnn, because of the extent and intensity of their news coverage. However, it appears they are hiding in an "old shell" (of objective and constructive journalism) to perpetrate overt partiality. Please come out from your shell and declare for Clinton, so that we know who you are. America is greater than Obama, Clinton, and McCain - all these leaders will come and go, but its their good works or bad works that will remain. I am terribly disappointed in your negative journalism towards Obama, I do not think you can claim to be serving this great nation - when you leave substance and pursue selfish goals!

This endrrsement means more to me than most of the others.Welcome to the winning team .Tom>>>

He is a great actor ! He did right ! He supports the best candidate in this race !!! OBAMA 2008-2012 !!! Thanks Tom.

I don't care who celebrities endorse and that goes for Obama and Clinton. They are going to be fine no matter who the president is and I hope people don't vote by who their favorite actor or music artist supports.

I care….go tome Hanks…you are the man..

Thanks for the support. That will be 3 superdelegates today and one actor.

RED WHITE AND BLUE>>>> O in O8

BAD MOVE TOM…JUST ASK OPRAH…

WHITE AMERICA IS LEAVING HER PROGRAM AND THEIR TIES TO REV> WRIGHT>>.

REV WRIGHT…Thanks for letting American know the real obama..

Hillary Fight HIllary Fight!!

Ditto. Who cares?????

Rich people without a clue for Obama. The very left and very right march in ignorance. How much fuel do Travolta and Hanks burn? Actors like these portray heroes while real people go to war to pay in blood for the fuel these false heroes drink.

who cares!

I'm an Obama supporter and still celebrity endorsements aren't worth crap. These people are good at making movies other than that they are as adept at picking leaders as every one else. We should all rebuke the media for playing up the celebrity culture non-sense.

This is great, but how about we put up the super delegate that suppports Obama…Oh yeah, I forgot…You want to wait until Hillary gets one so you can down play the significants.

Thanks CNN for doing this awsome job…sike

OBAMA 08

Those last words gave me chills….

Another guilt tripped white .

I am a white woman over 60 who hopes the man of hope wins. Hillary Clinton reminds me of all the female highschool principals I have known, except she is more ruthless. She would not be a senator much less running for president except that she is riding on Bill Clinton's coattails. I hope people can listen to more than sound bites in choosing our next president and choses Barak Obama.

So what. This matters almost as much as that Indy driver who backed Hillary. Get a life CNN.

Tom Hanks is awesome.
Its nice to see a Celebrity that doesnt take himself too seriously.
Even though endorsements are pretty silly, I definitely appreciate him doing this.
Thanks Tom!

-Cy

Hmmm, another educated voter for Obama. I guess Hillary's pandering 1/2 tank of free gas won't work on people who can actually read.

LET'S GO DEMOCRATS!!!!!

YAY IN 08!!!!!!

HOW LONG ARE WE GOING TO LET JOHN MCCAIN GET AWAYS WITH HIS GAFFES, HE HAS HAD MANY!!!

NO MORE REPUBLICAN NONSENSE!!!

It worked. I've changed my mind because of his endorsement. I no longer back Tom Hanks! Whew! glad to get that off my chest.

McCain '08
Clinton '12

A BIG THANK YOU, TOM. You are as smart as you are talented.

Yes!, another great endorsement from another great American. Sir, I thank you and the American public thanks you! Sir, you are truly a great American! Congratulation Obama, we are almost home! This prolonged race is devastating to the party and tearing the party apart. Welcome aboard the winning team…….we are almost to the mountain top!

Our President Obama 08′ & 12′

Thank you Tom Hanks, but you have not changed my mind. I was going to vote for Obama anyway!!!

We as American must think for ourselves. We must not rely on 30-second ads to sway our opinions. The more i listen to the two democratic canidate the more i feel that mrs. clinton is trying to decieve the public. where do she really stand on all of the free (not fair) trade agreements? Probably somewhere b/t mr. penn and bill clinton. At least she wears the flag which means she relates to ordinary americans….

Stick to acting.

Good for Tom.At least hes as smart as Forrest Gump and can see beyond color.

This is just as meaningless as Hillary's indy car endorsement. If they're not superdelegates, their opinions don't matter.

Another smart American! Thanks Mr. Hanks!

Nice for him but not so nice for the rest of us. Elite Hollywood Pandering by Obama.

Tom Hanks knows the character of a person when he sees them. Barack Obama will make the best president this country has ever had. Hiliary Clinton has all the sleazy baggage from Bill's administration. We need a nice decent family like the Obama's to help our countries image all over the world. I just can't imagine what the headlines will be if the Clintons move back into "our" house.

Sincerely,
The Huffines

Hillarbees or Huckatons? Which is a better name for the new political party being created and spearheaded by CNN?

—Slogan—
The party where we never count out second place finishers.

Love your movies Tom Hanks.
Thanks so much for supporting Obama.

when there are real superdelegate endorsements today, why does CNN concentrate on T Hanks????

STUPID!

hmmm…

maya angelou
madonna
elvis costello

or

oprah
tom hanks
fall out boy

i know who i'd rather hang with…

Another Republican, come November..

Obama is the only one on earth who can tell the truth and shame the Clinton voter and superdelegates.

One more reason not to vote for OBama !!!!

Another elitist.

Well, it's just effective as that endorsement for Hillary Clinton by the Indy Racer - Nada. Zilch. Zero.

CNN please report real news.

Tom Hanks and the Indy Racer don't have any bearing on anything.

it won`t do him much good now..but people like hanks. as for hillary..is it just me..or is this "woman" so transparently phony and pandering that it now truely becoming
DISGRACEFULL?

Tom Hanks is a good actor…..

Big surprise here! One of Obama's elitist California clones endorses him.

GREAT!

I know….

WHO CARES!!!!!

He and Oprah are probably having an affair!

WHO THE HECK CARES WHAT HE THINKS??????????????

whoop te de dow he has lost his mind after all remember the movie.he needs to get a life. go hillary

It took CNN forever to post this endorsement. Why? We all know why. CNN is the Clinton News Network.

Another HOLLYWOOD endorsement? Big surprise!!!

Marine,

I'm sure you would care if he was endorsing Hillary, right?

a smart man.i saw his video yesterday,and was glad to see him endorse obama.america unite!!

CNN,can you and the other media stop this rubbish of saying obama is competing to be the first black president?
he iS RUNNING to be the PRESIDENT of america.
he is mixed race
stop interjecting race into this thing
be professional,please.

You abviously otherwise you wouldn't have posted a message. I'm really happy as a supporter of Barack Obama.

Ah, a very fine actor but obviously not a politically wise actor! But I respect his opinion.

GO FOREST !

OBAMA 08′/ 12′

Thanks Tom… you are a great actor and from what I hear a great human being. No wonder you have lend your support to Obama. Thanks.

hahaha…Tom Hanks has a MySpace page? I didn't know that he had time for that being oh-so busy and all. But, he made a wise and intelligent desicion.

Thanks, Mr. Hanks

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Who cares???

Celebrity endorsements are so lame. Who do they think they are? Just because they are wealthy, they feel they want to now control the people? Celebrities need to keep out of politics!!

WE should all care!

Great article today by CNNS own Glen Beck. Its a must read entitled "Obama's odd timing on Wright".

"I'm glad Obama has come to the same conclusion that Wright's critics came to long ago. I just wonder why it took me two minutes and him two decades."

That sums it up for me. We need a leader not a Politician trying to do anything he can to get elected.

Go Hillary
