Not only is Oprah Winfrey endorsing Barack Obama's presidential bid, she's going on the road to campaign for him!
Does Oprah's approval sway your vote in any way????

borring. she would sway me to fall asleep.
Not at all.
so?
RON PAUL 2008!!!
no.
I don't take direction from pinheaded pigs!!!
Why the hell would it sway my vote in any way?? Because Oprah is such an authority on politics? Perez …. do you know shit about politics either? Good GOD.
I think Oprah's endorsement will have an impact definitely to people who hang on to her every word. Oprah has a lot of influence, and I think her backing a political figure speaks volumes. Never has she done this before.
not if your smart. you should make your OWN decision.
never. all of the women who are brainwashed by her will though which really sucks.
first!
no
second.
Not at all. Her opinion isn't worth more than anyone elses. We should all have our own opinions and make up our own minds. I hate it when celebrities try to influence us.
FIRST BITCHES!
No, but i love Barack, so GO OPRAH!
second!
wow
YES
Not at all. I don't even trust her opinions on books. Why would I trust her to pick the next president of the United States?
Ummm yeah no i wouldnt vote for barack just cuz orpah is behind him. He should have a good campaigne and not need Oprah
I wish she wouldn't do this. I say this as a fan.
First! And nooo way, woman is only so smart; I've got my own brain thanks
hells no…esp after watching her crazy ass fav. things episode…what a bunch of crap, how can people get excited about that shiz?
no, first!
first.
NO WAY JOSE! THE O FACTOR IS A BIG ZERO TO ME
Nooooooo
Yes. It sways my vote to not vote for him. EVER!!!!!
Yes, surprisingly I wanted to see Hilary be the president, and now since Oprah is backin the Barack, and all about the black, and I am not even black! Anyway I can't vote cause I am not American, shit, don't even live there. Wow, what a contest, sounds like a damn sight more interesting than the proper election against the Republican - white wash, or will it be a blue-rinse…
Well she thinks she's jesus and she has billions of followers so yeah I think it will sway peoples vote. However, I don't understand why she feels it's necessary. Why does Obama need Oprah? If he's such a great candidate then he can't he do it on his own and let his actions speak for themselves. As soon as Oprah see's a black person as being successful, she's all over it. Which isn't a bad thing, but if these people are so great at what they do then let them accomplish it on their own and let them show the world what they can do, we don't need somebody like Oprah shoving them in our face.
NO….not at all…but Im sure it will sway the uneducated people and the people who are too lazy to figure it out themselves.
Nope!!
Yes, sways me to not vote for him.
Nope. Haha.
Yes!!!!! I'm for Barack all the way!! Oprah's opinion makes a huge difference!!
She needs to stick to entertainment and saving lives. Politics is not something you pick up as a 'favorite thing'.
You're all losers. You know you'll want to follow Oprah. Which is fine, because she is God on Earth. Unfortunately, Obama won't win because he's black, and Hillary is a woman, so maybe Chris Dodd or somebody will come through and make our country worse off then it already is? I actually think Obama would be a phenomenal President, provided he doesn't turn on the black rights/ Jesse Jackson/ Al Sharpton switch as soon as he's sworn in.
OH PLEASE SHE ONLY SUPPORTS HIM BECAUSE OF HIS SKINCOLOUR NOT BECAUSE OF HIS SKILLS! SO SAD!
+
HILLARY ROCKS!!!
+
WOMEN ON TOP OF THE WORLD!!! HAHA
+
BARRACK HAS NO CHANCE, AMERICA IS STILL NOT READY FOR A BLACK PRESIDENT. IF YOU STiLL WANT THE REPS, YOU VOTE FOR BARACK BECAUSE HE WILL HAVE NO CHANCE IF HE WILL BE THE PRESIDENTKANDIDATE FOR THE DEMOKRATS!!!
I LIKE BARRACK BUT HE HAVE NO CHANCE BELIVE ME!
+
ITS HILLARYS TIME!
Not at all. She will sway some people's vote though…it's sad that some people can't think for themselves.
I'm for Obama already. You know he's a quality candidate if Big O endorses him
She has no political credibility with me. Where was she for Gore and Kerry? She appears to care for the Democratic party, But comes out to support a "black man" vs ideals? This is not a book or a movie, this is my life. You have to stand for somthing historicly for your opinion to have weight in matters like these. The black woman Jesus bit off more than she can chew with this one.
If miss thing wants to go on the campaign trail then she should run for office. If our country has gotten to the point that Oprah makes the decision who runs our country we better start reevaluating our political system in general. Remember when Babs spoke out for Bill Clinton? They said she was sleeping with him? This is just not right, she can indorse him but I think going on the road is nonsense.
No, her 'approval' doesn't do anything for me.
this is only going to sway housewives and my grandma.
women shouldn't be able to vote.
totally freakin yeah oprah is … damn sorry im high right now so i got nothin smart 2 say… well i'd b more persuaded if lyk antonio bandaras or johnny depp liked a specific president. GO ANTONIO BANDARAS! And Jack Sparrow!
Ummm… that would be a hell NO! The man can't even say the pledge of Allegiance! What the hell kind of crap is that?!
Hey what is this I read about Perez pooping himself while filming celeb fitclub !!!!!!!! ??????????????
She is going to hurt him. All I can imagine hearing her saying in her screaming "joooohhhhhnnn trrraaavolta" way "Baaarrrack Oooooobama" thinking she is on her TV show - and then crickets.
You have to be kidding. Why would Oprah's opinion on ANYTHING sway mine? Our country is in big enough trouble without celebutards like her attempting to influence anyone. It's also rather insulting. Not all of us are like sheep to the slaughter.
FIRST
philippines represent!!!!!
Why are you guys all hating on Oprah? She is one of the few that uses her celebrity to do good and change peoples lives. My guess is that most of you DONT do anything to help other people. I am not brainwashed, but the woman gives away millions of her dollars and incents others to do the same. She is an inspiration and you guys are all just hating to hate.
I like Oprah, but I never listen to celebrities opinions. Who I won't I vote for? Pre-rehearsed, calculated, coniving, finger to the wind Hilary Clinton. And yes, I'm a woman.
no
hahahaha i thought i was first! turns out i was the 51st! hahaha first nonetheless!
I refuse to vote for someone that refuses to recite the pledge of allegiance. WTF is that???
haha sway no one
hillary the one
Re: tj – fuck u women shouldn't b allowed to vote. suck my perfectly bikini waxed pussy!!!!
NOPE OPRAH CAN ONLY MAKE THINGS BIGGER & BETTER FOR HIM TALK ABOUT MONEY BACKING, BESIDES WHAT IF THEY END UP RUNNING TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA & WINFREY 08'
Re: tj – fuck u women shouldn't b allowed to vote?! suck my perfectly bikini waxed pussy!!!!
Oprah only endorses him because he is black. Obviously she does not care for America if she is with Barack. HE WONT EVEN PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE to the flag. He OBVIOUSlY hates America. Why would he be a good president???
ROMNEY ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!! Atleast HE has some MORALS!!!
I'm Canadian. But it's really sad to me that she is doing this. The truth is there will be ALOT of people who are completely uninformed about the candidates platforms but will vote for him because they are Oprah devotees and she tells them too. Not that he's a bad option….but I do think alot of her backing has to do with the whole he's black thing….and that is not a reason to make someone the President.I pray people will actually learn his platform and make an informed decision….not follow her like a herd of sheep.
she is exhausting.
WHITE POWER
DONT EVER VOTE BLACK
DO U WANT RAPPERS/AL SHARP A HO/ BLACK PEOPLE IN OUR """WHITE HOUSE"""
WHITE HOSUE MEANS WHITE PRESIDENT NOT DIRTY COTTEN PICKERS
I might be swayed a bit if I was a Dem, but I'm not. I know people get passionate about their political views, but I urge everyone to really analyze the issues facing our country before choosing a candidate. One question to ask is, "How will this idea be funded?" It's important because the answer is always, "With taxes."
pff, of course that fattie is rooting for barack, after all he's black, nothing else matters
I don’t want a “celebrity” telling me who to vote for.
Re: Sara –
If i had fucking as much money as HARPO does then YES I would be making a difference in peoples lives… DAMN she could spare some money my way!! I just need like 5 grand is alll….. COME ONNNNNNN IDIOTS.
Don't you find it odd that she has not backed anyone until the were of african desent? Oprah is not a person the I respect as far as race goes. And she is trying to put pressure on people in the US to vote for someone and she has never backed ANYONE before????
Re: WHITE POWER –
Wow. Do you really believe that you or are you just an inflammatory jackass?
no- i am still undecided but SHE does not sway me. Who and what the candidates plan and WILL do in office affects my vote. PURE and simple. If I thought dem was wroth the picking right now——as of right now…not too imporessed with the biggest "interview process ever held."
of course!
i can't wait to see her. i already love barack so she's a bonus for me.
Absolutely NOT. Her opinion doesn't sway my vote any more than anyone else, which is not at all. I'm supporting Ron Paul.
Oprah for president. I want free cupcakes
Nope
No. I can't stand celebrity involvement in politics. Stick to your job which is to entertain me not tell me who I should vote for and why. I am smart enough to figure it out on my own. Oprah can't even sway me with her book club choices. They mostly suck.
Re: WHITE POWER –
Wow. Do you really believe that or are you just an inflammatory jackass?
No. For a book maybe but not for a candidate.
that would be disturbing if she would actually influence someone to vote her way…
not even a little bit. TEAM HIlLARY all the way..
No way. Oprah may do a lot of good with the TV show and other projects, but she is out of touch with what this country needs to move forward. She should stay out of politics.
Is she endorsing him because she agrees with his views or because he's black? Makes you wonder if black people vote for someone just because they're black or because they like/respect them. Oprah's beginning to bore me.
NOT ONE BIT. Oprah is just some rich b*tch. she pretends she cares.
Yeah, it sways me to vote for someone else.
I THINK THAT SHE WILL HAVE A HUGE INFLUENCE ON PEOPLE. IT'S RIDICULOUS HOW PEOPLE THINK OPRAH IS THIS HUGE GOD. TO ME SHE COMES ACROSS VERY STUCK UP AND SNOTTY. WOULD NOT VOTE FOR SOMEONE JUST BECAUSE OF HER.
Why would Oprah sway anybody's opinion? Read about the candidate, listen to what they have to say, form an opinion. If you are so lazy that you are just going to look to a celeb. to give you your opinion on which way to vote then you shouldn't even bother voting.
Damn, I would hope not!! Although I wouldn't doubt if the American sheeple blindly followed her. Idiots.
I adore Oprah, however this would not sway my vote. I believe an educated voter should be able to make their own decision based on good information and not hear say. Now for the less informed voter, yes, someone like Oprah Winfrey could sway a vote. This should be interesting. I pray who ever it is, they will do a better job then the current sitting president.
It shouldn't effect it at all. What exactly makes Oprah an authority on anything except for how to be a talk show host? I'm so tired of seeing Sheepole flock to celebrities for advice. Wake up! These are people who wanted the quick buck and were lucky enough to do it.
There is no way that I would vote for Barack Obama anyway….

Not one bit. IN fact, it turns me more against Obama. It seems as that he is struggling and having Oprah go out for him is desperate. Americans don't see Oprah as a real figure in the world, she is more of a fixture of celebrity. No credibility whatsoever.
No
FUCK NO!
HILLARY! HILLARY!HILLARY!HILLARY!HILLARY!HILLARY!HILLARY!
Personally, I'm already voting for Barack, so she can't sway me anymore. But I think she can definitely sway alot of other people. That's what happens when you're in the spot light daily. Look at what happened when Ellen brought up that whole dog issue, the family who got it started receiving death threats because they weren't giving it back. Creepy. But I'm kinda happy about it. In order for him to win he's going to need alot of support. I'll be happy to be able to see the first non-white president in America's history. It'd really show how far we've come with change, ecsp since we really haven't had any for the good in a long time.
for someone who calls herself a christian i think it is a bit insane for her to support the most liberal of all the presidential candidates. but then again he calls himself a christian.
she is only supporting him because he is black.
african-americans have got to stick together, fool!
I think she'll influence alot of people. She has a big following, especially with women in their 40's and up.
AS IF SHE WOULD ENDORSE HIM IF HE WERE WHITE. SHE'S A RACIST AND FAVORS BLACKS. REMEMBER HER 'DECENT WHITE FOLKS' COMMENT?
Not at all. I'm a supporter of Barack with or without her. She kind of gets on my nerves.
Not one tiny bit. Obama is still going to be too influenced by his superstitions.
