A recent public opinion poll asked 1,000 folks to name who they believed to be were the most trusted people in America. Something like 7 of the top 10 were Hollywood actors with TOM HANKS at number 1.
I would ask Tom Hanks to reconcile the following facts:
You were featured in at least two films based upon the traditional American idea that the lives of those who serve this country have value and worth nearly any price to save. Its the No man left behind thing. Those films were Apollo Thirteen and Saving Private Ryan. Additionally, you and Spielberg joined to produce the Band of Brothers series.
You (and Spielberg) were staunch supporters of and contributors to Obama during both his runs for the White House.
It has been clear to many of us from mid-September, 2012 that Obama or, with his approval, a top official ordered the brave men who were prepared to go to Benghazi to attempt to save Ambassador Stevens and 3 other Americans to STAND DOWN. The recent congressional hearings have simply added more evidence that those men were abandoned to die at the hands of MUSLIM madmen.
May I ask you how you justify such massive hypocrisy?
Ill understand if you fail to respond.

PS: Since Michelle Obama came in at number 19, it would seem the sampling for this poll was seriously skewed.
Excellent post, you’re right on the mark.
