Cyrena, I too did not read that statement into the endorsement. But much to my amazement, it came across as an honest and true statement of someone’s belief in a candidate that is an electable and worthwhile person who could be a great president. 

With that said, Mr. Hanks, had something to say and unlike many of the celebrities of Hollyweird, came across as a thinking and breathing individual, who does not have handlers mapping out his every move and thinks for himself. 

Would that all the people of Hollyweird, were like Mr. Hanks, then we might have someone in the office of the presidency that could really make a difference in the lives of “us common folk.” There would not be the favoritism and chicanery that has followed the shrub’s administration, if the people were truly the one’s that elected him to that most esteemed office.

For once and for all, we must elect someone whom we can trust to keep his word and that is Sen. Barack Obama, (D) Illinois.  No one else has the character and the heart to fully comprehend the people’s plight and the hardships that are entailed with the lowering of taxes on the upper 1% of the country. All this while raising the tax rate on the bottom 99% of the rest of the country. We cannot stand much longer a presidency that caters to the wealthy and kowtows to the corporations, giving them welfare and breaking the bank of the poor and middle class. 

“God Bless America,” what a laugh!  When a nation forgets the care of the poor and disenfranchised, it will pay the price of losing its place in the world because there is no justice and mercy in that nation, only hardship and inequity, judgment and cruelty towards the poor and orphans. This country was founded as a haven for the poor and disenfranchised, now we are a nation of elitists for whom the people are nothing more than a major pain in the ass.

Sorry to be so pessimistic, but if the shoe fits for this country, we must own up to the analysis of those who every day see the results of the inequitable and inept policies of an administration that cares for nothing more than lining the pockets of those who were chosen and anointed to be part of the cabal of thieves that have raped and pillaged this country for all that it is worth.

There must be justice for all those who have died fighting an immoral and senseless war for nothing more than lining the pockets of this corrupt and inept administration.  Given the chance, my dream is to see the “gang of five,” in prison for a very long time.  Just hoping folks!
