    celebrities should not be using their power to convince small-minded morons who will vote for anyone who their "idols" are supporting..and she knows exactly what she's doing..it's especially obnoxious to see oprah giving away tickets to her show for those supporting obama. give me a break, celebrity dictators…

    Oprah's agenda has nothing to do with that which is best for this country. Oprah just wants to see an african-American finally get into the White House, AND, she wants to be able to say that she helped put him there. People who allow a talk show host to decide their presidential vote are too ignorant to deserve living in a country as great as America. Barack Obama will never be President and that, my friends, is an undisputable fact. You don't have to believe me. Just wait until 2008 and see for yourself. His campaign is a tragic waste of millions of dollars that could be better spent elsewhere.

    Let's get REAL–Oprah would support FLAVA FLAV for President, with OJ SIMPSON as his running mate. Kisses all around the town, with a special nod to SUGARBOOTS! LEONA :)

    I HAVE LOST ALL RESPECT FOR OPRAH! OBAMA IS AN IDIOT IF YOU LISTEN TO HIM DISCUSS POLITICAL ISSUES….I call him an Idiot because many call our current President a FOOL which I also agree with but Obama is NOT A STEP UP he's a step DOWN….Oprah is only backing him because he is identified as BLACK. OBAMA IS NOT THE RIGHT MAN and now I hope all see that…..Oprah this is SAD!!!!

    Also, for #14 Fuck you, Yes black people do love Oprah you jerk. There are all types of black people, just like there are all types of white people, all types of Asian people, & all types other people too. So speak for yourself not us as a whole.

    Current Clinton campaign is still using Sandy Berger who was the security advisor for President Clinton who was convicted of stealing and destroying documents and US history about terrorists from the National Archives. SCARY!

  38. Perez Is Spot On says – reply to this
    38

    Thanks so much for bringing attention to Obama. He is truly the candidate for those who want a decent and electable Democrat. You should also be posting stories negative of Hillary. We must clarify that the Clintons did NOTHING for this country and anyone who things otherwise has been duped. Bush and Clintons are one and the same.

  39. Hillary Sucks says – reply to this
    39

    After seeing what Bill and Hillary did to all the women who came forward about Bill's sexual harassment, I am shocked that anyone votes for them. They not only did not apologize, they actively destroyed these women and their reputations. They are disgusting. They are also hiding info from the Clinton presidency? WTF?! There is totally something to hide. Why are we not talking about that?

    Oprah represents black people very well. By your ignorant comments i bet you are a bling bling black person…hahaha Black people always hate successful Black People, unless they "keep it real" and say the N word, and act ghetto…LOL..

    I can tell who the democrats are, they can't spell. You can forget Obama and as far as Oprah goes, I liked her better before she became Jesus. She should stick to housewives. Owning your own show and having billions doesn't add IQ points. Obama is lazy and does nothing in the U.S. Senate just like he did nothing when he was in Illinois state politics. If you think he has a chance you probably think Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton were great presidents, too.

    Re: voter – I agree. She probably doesn't know or even care what he is standing for. The only reason she is putting her money out there is because he is black.

    Ya! Last time she endorsed a black doctor and it turned out he isn't certified and killed Kayne's mom. Oprah isn't always right.

  46. Ashley says – reply to this
    46

    It's one thing to form your own political opinion and THEN agree with Oprah on her choice. It's another thing to be a mindless drone who anxiously awaits Oprah's word on where she stands. Let's all think for ourselves. She's putting her name on the line for the first time to support a BLACK candidate. Hmmm….does this really have anything to do with where he stands on political issues? Maybe. Probably not.

    Racist Oprah! I feel so desperately sorry for Mrs. Obama when the "O" is around. She becomes a total nonentity as her husband is pawed and fawned over.

    HE'S THE ONLY MAN WHO CAN MAKE OPRAH WET "DOWN THERE." INDEED, GAYLE HAS BEEN IN A CATATONIC STATE THESE PAST SEVERAL DAYS. STEDMAN OF COURSE COULDN'T CARE LESS–OPRAH'S TRIPS ARE JUST GIVING HIM MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO PRACTICE HIS "TIPPITY TAP RAP."

    Perez and Oprah I know you have your right to campaign for your political choice but still NOT voting for him.

  50. Liz Bowers says – reply to this

    As much as I like to watch Oprah, I think she is the epitomy of a racist. If Obama were white, would she be supporting him? Get with the program Oprah….support the woman in this race for pres!!! There will not, in the near future, be a black man in the driver's seat…just a fact. I am from Canada and am just sitting back watchin' ya'll. Oprah, you are using your power in the wrong direction…….

    obama is a PERSON running for president. why define him as a black man first and foremost.

    Americans are so small minded. we derserve everything going wrong in this country.

  52. S says – reply to this
    52

    I love how Obama is considered black when he's also 50% white and was raised by his white grandparents when his black dad abandoned him and went back to Africa and his 10 wives there. That's what pisses me off about him.

  53. Casey says – reply to this

    Re: Liz Bowers – A woman who destroyed the lives of other women and set back the report of sexual harassment and abuse? Gimme a break. Hillary as a some womens rights figure is a joke. Wait and support a truly inspirational women, not this snake. Obama is the way to vote for progress.

    When Oprah loses the amount of weight this skinny bastard weighs, which is 102 pounds, only then can she approach looking as good as I do in my vintage Pucci wardrobe.

    So, I am supposed to vote for Obama because Oprah says so. Umm, I THINK NOT!! Following her lead on book selections and the next president of the US are totally different and opposite things. She is not that influential and he (Obama) is making a mistake. Just because she gives gifts to a bunch of white woman doesn't mean they are going to follow her to the ends of the earth. This is the next President of the United States. We have one idiot if the office for 8 years - we need to take the next one SERIOUSLY.

    Why does anyone think any of us need some entertainment celebrity telling us who to vote for? I have a brain and can make political decisions very well without the help of a talk show host, actor, singer, or any other famous person who feels the need to guide the poor helpless stupid masses. They can keep all their opinions to themselves. I don't need their help.

    I'm so sick of this blowhard bitch. Who the fuck does she think she is? She thinks that whatever she says is the only thing that matters…I wish she would go the fuck away…such a fucking narcissist.

    To caste a vote for Barack Obama as a black person would be the first time in history for a black person to vote for a blackman to be President of the United States. This is history ladies and gentleman. American history. Do not waste your vote for sure

  63. Your IQ is what???? says – reply to this
    63

    It's just as stupid and shallow and -ist to vote for a woman just because she's a woman as to vote for a black just because he's black. What a waste of votes cast for nothings…we have an enemy inside our gates, and we care about skin color or gender? Either of those two flip-flopping weenies will cower as Iran takes us over.

  64. Go Hilary! says – reply to this
    64

    I HATE when celebrities start putting their noses in business they know nothing about. Oprah should keep her trap shut and stop trying to be something she's not. She's just supporting the guy because he's black (and I'm not against a black president). If he was white, she wouldn't give a fuck. There's something shady about him - he's too slick.

    I am from Iowa… people from Iowa.. the ones who will be voting… PEOPLE WANT RON PAUL here. Obama is a joke and nobody wants Hillary because — well, the Clintons had their chance at healthcare and all of that… they didn't do SQUAT. Why would we want to give them another chance to do nothing. Iowa wants RON PAUL for 2008. HANDS DOWN. Dems are not the majority here.

    Re: ranae

    Oprah is part of a global community and she represents that very well. Yes she is black but we should be past that she is a human and one who is doing a lot for the world. I thought the speech was very inspiring. She speaks in a way that appeals to all people.

    Oprah is a CON ARTIST! Let us not forget of "Ape-rah's" past as a promiscuous YOUNG teenager who was "supposedly" raped…this alleged "circumstance/rape" was never verified legally - at least not to the public arena!…"her" story was just accepted because she vocalized it - she victimized herself in order to be accepted by the sympathetic viewing public. I personally think the persona she's CREATED for herself is completely fabricated…especially since she promotes herself as this ethical and moral standard that all should aspire to. She promotes segregation, publicly abuses and exploits the needy, and associates with those whom she can use to propel herself ahead in all aspects of her livelihood!!!
