Bringing Out The Big Guns

Filed under: Politik > Barack Obama > Oprah Winfrey > Hillary Clinton

Oprah Winfrey is going back on the campaign trail for Barack Obama!

According to the latest polls, the Democratic presidential hopeful is trailing Hillary Clinton in the delegate rich state of California. So Barack is bringing the Big O to Los Angeles on Sunday for a big event.

The main goal? To lure women to vote for Obama.

Hey ladies, does Oprah have much influence over your vote????

Oprah has no influence over my vote. I don't base my decisions on who a television talk show host thinks would be the best president.

A Hilary presidency will be the most expensive alimony check ever cashed by a whole country. She wants to raise taxes on energy corporations. OOOOH, fight the evil corporations, right? Doesn't matter to them-they'll just make your electric or heating bill MORE EXPENSIVE. If you want to remain poor, vote Hilary. That's what Dems do-tax you to death, create more government, go to you for more taxes to pay for the salaries of the new divisions they create and for what? Corn is now $4 a bushel. For the production of ethanol, which doesn't work. It's more expensive and you run out of gas faster. But now your food costs are up. This should not be. Study economics, people. And vote Romney.

Re: BIG –

up Bush's mess. Who would vote for a Muslim when we are at war with the Middle East? A bunch of stupid fuckers, like you.

In response to “It's definitely NOT the same” – IT IS. How can you say that America Ferrera is not parading on stage for Hillary when she is. Perez even showed a video of her doing it on his website (with Hillary on stage with her). Also Oprah is giving real reasons why she is supporting him. I’m all for people voting for who they want. If you’re not going to inform yourself before you reply then I suggest you don’t reply.

VOTE REPUBLICAN - PLEASE VOTE HILLARY!!!!
She is more Republican than John Mc Cain - just listen to her!! She will do us Republicans well. She can help our cause better. Listen to her - if the skanky Ann Coulter believes in her more than (yes screw the 911 widows and all) - she IS the one, Hillary is the one. Vote Republican, Vote Hillary - PLEASE!!!! (Bill not be able to screw around with another intern now she is President in any case ha ha ha..) PS: Yes, Bill is a liar (i did not have sex with that woman Billl…) - but which politician isnt?

I know people who are voting for Hillary SOLELY because she's a woman. It could be any woman, doesn't matter who, they'd vote for her. Sure, some people may vote for Obama just because he's black, or just because Oprah endorses him, but some people are voting for Hillary just because she's a woman, or because they think she's just like her hubby. Don't be so self-righteous, Hillary supporters, it goes both ways.

829

Obama is really a republican. John Mc Cain hired Obama to run so that he can win. McCain knows he can beat Obama, but not Hilary.
Oprah is boring, who gives a fuck what she says? She's a racist bitch. If she was a real woman, she would vote for a woman, to help woman actually get somewhere in this world. I hate the ugly bitch. Hilary will win.

NO! The only reason she rooting for someone in a political race now is because of his RACE! It is rediculous! I would NEVER vote for him and no more supporting oprah!
Anna says – reply to this

831

So how do you people who are going to "change your votes" now that Oprah is appearing on behalf of Obama (which she's actually done before; if you were actually following the race, you'd KNOW that already, and would have "changed your votes" previously, but I digress…) feel about Ann Coulter endorsing Hillary if McCain gets the Republican nod (which is what will likely transpire)?

No Thanks Opfrah says – reply to this

839

No Thanks Orca. You are a talkshow host and you know about periods and bloating. Hilliary spent her life not on a couch but doing for others and going to school. Orca was doing coke and whoring out her cunt. And Orca why don't you ever talk about yo mama? Hilliary gets my vote. But thanks for asking.

phia says – reply to this

844

it depends on the age of the women
younger, no way
older, possibly.
but the older women are more likely to vote for hill anyways, they can identify with her more.
so basically, 18-24 year olds need to vote more so obama wins.

Media Creation says – reply to this

847

This just proves to me that Obama is all a media creation. Gloria Steinman, a leading feminist, wrote an article in the NYT that pegged Obama dead on. If Obama was a woman with the same senate record he holds now, he would not be taken seriously has a presidential candidate. I would also add that without the endorsement of Oprah, Ben Affleck, Brad Pitt, or any other number of celebrity endorsements he would not be taken seriously. In short, this is an US Weekly generation and Obama is the US weekly candidate.

Also, I think it is mighty telling that all past democratic presidential nominees (Bill Bradley, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Jesse Jackson) have endorsed Obama. I think it points to the fact that these people are jealous of the Clintons success and will do anything to stop Hillary, even if that means throwing their party under the bus.

Go Hillary 08!

Not at all. I wouldn't vote for Obama no matter who endorses him because he is not ready for the top job by a LONG shot. That said, Oprah's endorsement would make me not vote for him if I have ever considered him a viable candidate.

If Obama where a white man he wouldn't even be in the race. He has no credentials and is riding the wave of the media. People backing him have no more depth than those voting for an American Idol.

Re: neema –

ooooooooooooh and he did not??? he didn't take the effort ( big effort to pull on a button…) to vote in the senate……..too focused on how to run his presidential campaign!!
he ran for the senate only to have a chance to run for president: he didn't bother to wait at least his first mandate….. THE GUY IS HUNGRY FOR POWER!!!

wake up!! he is a politician!!! what do you think that you are electing an angel, the new mesiah!!! the guy is calculative and manipulative as all policians!!!!
but he is maybe more hungry for power: he doesn't even give a damn to vote yea or nay at the senate!!!!
so pls don't lecture us on this point!

THE SAD THING IS THAT HE IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF OUR NEED OF HOPE AFTER 8 YEARS OF BUSH===> SO HE SELLS US A FAIRYTALE……..I PREDICT AN AWFUL HANGOVER IF HE HAS THE NOMINATION

I really wish you people would take this seriously. I don't care if the president is a woman, black, white, brown, man, hair is perfectly quaffed and nails clean. All I care about are the issues. Hopefully you guys are adult enough to make up your own minds and base your votes on the issues. How about Healthcare? It's not black or a woman! How about the men and women in Iraq? They are a beautiful rainbow. Let's get them out of there. Stop caring about white, black, woman, man, worry about the issues and make your vote count. Listen to what the candidates have to say! That goes for YOU TOO PEREZ!! Stop pushing Hillary and start pushing for what's best for this country, if you feel she's best, cast your vote that way but don't try to sway your multitude of fans!! Love you by the way!!!

You guys have no idea how republican Hillary will be if she goes to the White House. Have you read her book from 2 years ago? She's had an agenda for 4 decades of becoming the first female president and have done everything and anything to get here, through lies and manipulation, and is making promises to the citizens in order to get the votes.
The reality is is that Obama is the candidate with the commitment and vision to bring United States to its whole again, to push away the skepticism we've been breeding for over 2 decades. Obama is the ONLY person who will bring this country together and make us believe in the future once and for all .
Juan says – reply to this

894

It would help turn me against Obama. Its a sign of disrespect to his potential voters that he would use show people to sway people's votes instead of discussion of the issues. Does he really want to tell us that show biz types have any special insight into politics, and that we should listen to them? So silly. I was borderline before he connected with the talk show host. Hey, maybe he can resurrect Arsenio Hall too. haha. Hillary all the way.
