Actually I lost it for this guy a long time ago. some reporters caught up to him and asked him about the klinton scandal and Hanks said he would not have donated to bj’s legal fund.

right thing to do right?

The next day Hanks did a 180 and said he would have donated more.

Hmmmmmm........

Tom Hanks is a fraud that pays well below even the Bush tax rates.

[CT]

We call him, O’Blameya. So where did he get the rep for being a strong silent type?

"Not since the days of Franklin Roosevelt had so much fallen on the shoulders of one president. Now when he faced his country who looked to him for answers, he would not dwell in blame or dream in idealism,"

Should read, "Not since the days of Franklin Roosevelt has one president tried to control so much of the lives of so many Americans against their own will. Now when he besmirched his country both here and abroad who expected more out of him than race-baiting opportunism and environmentalist assault on industry and livelihoods, all he did was to blame us and George Bush for failing to embody his dream of post-industrial, Marxist eco-idealism."

I was going to say that I didn't recall that in Big, but then I think he did on the morning after the night that he turned big. I guess that's when he discovered he had actually turned big. Maybe he was just going to pee. I found this, though:

On the dvd extras of Big there is a deleted scene where Hanks demonstrates his idea for a nappy that glows in the dark when the kid pees in it, he runs around the office with it on, giving them a demonstration.

What about Turner and Hooch? Does at least the dog pee? And I guess I know what the Golden is for in his Golden Globes awards.

That video is sickening on so many levels? No POTUS since FDR had "so much" on his shoulders? Truman and Korea? Eisenhower and Sputnik? JFK and the Cuban Missle Crisis? LBJ and Vietnam? Nixon, Ford, Reagan and the Soviet threat? Hell even Jimmah had more on his plate, and HE didn't screw it up as badly as Obama has.

What has Obama done "right"? Ended DADT? Criticized and ran against the Bush doctrine, then followed Bush's timeline to the letter? Made Afghanistan WORSE? Doubled black unemployment in 3 years?

I'm waiting for an example of what Obama has done to make America better in any appreciable way.

Tom Hanks as an actor is fantastic, beyond that he is stupid as pudding.

Funny how that seems to work with a lot of artists, huh? And then along with that is the phenomenon of those artists believing that, because they are great artists (or because they believe they are great artists, in the case of Roseanne Barr, Rosie O'Donnell, or Sean Penn), whatever else they happen to believe or promote must be just as fantastic.

"...he would not dwell in blame or dream in idealism," narrator Tom Hanks ...

Only an Oscar winning actor could say that with a straight face. LOL

A book came out a few years ago, where the author points out that Obama constantly blames Bush for everything.

The title? “Whiny Little Bitch”. VERY appropriate.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Blaming everyone else is the driving force of this president. If he’s not blaming Bush for everything under the sun, he’s blaming the “Republican House”.

[beaversmom]

Obama is the terrifying tragedy threatening our nation!

[castlegreyskull]

Tom Hanks has spent way to much time talking to a volleyball.

[tomkat]

[eyeamok]

very well could be, never heard of “Crime Story” though????

[SoFloFreeper]

WHO would have thought Hanks’ latest project would be a farce comedy?

[SoFloFreeper]

Oh come on...you have got to tell more! How did you get there, the occasion, etc.? Sounds like a great story!

[Travis McGee]

My growing hunch is that Obama is going to win in a Chicago Landslide, no matter what happens in the voting booths.

Millions of “no photo id” voters will vote, and neither the Holder DOJ nor ABCNNBCBS will show any interest in the story of the end of American freedom.

ABCNNBCBS = GGTV = Gangster Govt TV.

Tom Hanks is a great script reader, he really is.

Have you seen him on a talk show without lines to read? It’s sad.

If Tom Hanks and Harrison Ford had an unscripted conversation, it would resemble two autistic ten-year-olds.

[tobyhill]

This is just way too funny. For over 8 years now, including when he was Senator and state legislator, Obama has blamed everyone else. Nothing is ever his fault. The fact that health insurance cost are at a record high can't be his fault. Record gas prices aren't his fault. Losing Iraq and Afghanistan aren't his fault and so on and so on.

[Still Thinking]

Only an Oscar winning actor could say that with a straight face. LOL

That's probably why you see so many actors doing puff pieces for Dems.
