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????
Posted: February 2, 2008 at 1:04 pm
She doesn't have influenece on my vote but I will vote for Obama anyway..voting for someone who says full of themselves comments and wants broke ppl to pay for medical insurance or get fined needs to stay at home and feed the kids not play president!!!! GO OBAMA!!!!!
hell no. Oprah's not luring this woman's vote. Barack should stop trying to lure women. His wife is a piece of shit goodie goodie. She's supports books, not presidential candidates. She's out of her league here.
umm yeah sh does shes OPRAH
ima vote 4 'em cuz im black and duhh
he knows OPRAH
No, fuck her! She won't support a fellow female she'll support the one with a dick and it has everything to do with race. FUCK OPRAH, she showed us what really matters to her and that's not experience.
I am sick of her. She is not God. I will purposely not for him.
Re: hilary gets my vote –
Should Hillary stop using Bill's coattails and her "experience" in his Administration? Give me a break.
no this junglebunny doesnt influence me. she a joke. go hiliary
Re: karen – Um…no she doesn't need "help" with getting votes..she thinks cuz her husband was prez she can do it too!! C'mon hillary bake some cookies and stay out of the oval office!!! GO OBAMA!
Hillary is awesome!!! Oprah knows he can't win on his own.
Perez…I must say I really do like your blog but stay out of politics. I know I am only one user but I have debated whether or not I should keep coming back as you make overtly political statements.
To be blunt, you have influence over folks and you don;t completely know what your saying. Please stop.
barack stands for hope.. he will be an amazing president
Obama is getting desperate and will pull all of the stops. It is very sad if someone will choose to vote for a candidate because Oprah says so…how ignorant! VOTE HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think Oprah needs to just back off, she is not political in the least, nor has any political background, she needs to get back to her new TV network and show and magazine and school and whatever else…
I hope that people are not that easily influenced, just beacuse she is Oprah, to let that decide who they vote for… Please, make your OWN decisions people!!! This election may end up being the most famous one in history!!
Re: Shuggafoot – why? b/c u think he's muslim!!?! MORON!
Re: Shuggafoot –
As a Military Wife and Mother I will not vote for Hillary Clinton who could not be bothered to read the NIE and voted for the war to begin with. Hell, most of us knew Iraq was a mistake before they even went in, but she had the intel and voted for war for her own political career. Thousands dead and wounded so she could run for president.
She didn't read the NIE !!!!!! GET THAT? She TRUSTED BUSH AT HIS "WORD"? GET THAT??? How fricken stupid is she??????
How anyone with a brain could vote for Hillary Clinton who uses our Military as game pieces is beyond me.
He is muslim and doesnt even salute the american flag. Why would you want a President who doesnt have respect for our country or flag.
Oprah does not but Obama sure does. OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA!
Re: jenn –
and OBAMA is a slimy incompetent, inexperienced, goofy, egocentric smooth talker without VALUABLE PLANS==> the plan he presented for the healthcare system is just a joke!!!
and to add more nice thing about him he has shaddy or shallow friends !!!!
he has no proper plans for diplomatic issues==> THE GUY DIDN T KNOW 3 MONTHS AGO THAT PAKISTAN BORDERS IRAN!!!!!!!!!!! talk about someone that gonna sort out are diplomatic problems!!!!
Hell not she can't influence my vote! Oprah sucks! I bet she is a fucking bitch - no I haven't ever met her but my opinion from watching her for the last 20 years is that really she thinks she's better than the rest of us. And just because Oprah says it doesn't make it so.
no who gives a fuck what oprah thinks shes the host of a tv show for gods sake
Yes. She's Oprah.
What's the womens vote got to do with it?? Isn't she a big old bruiser dyke? Count me out thank you very much! I'm backing Hilary. xxx
No way! Who cares what Oprah thinks? Go HIllary!
Oprah influences me more than a Clinton ever will.
Hillary didn't have the cajones to rid herself of a philandering pig of a spouse. That tells me she doesn't have the cajones to run a country.
No effect. I plan to vote for Hillary.
NOOOOOO!!! Having Oprah campaign for him has turned me off from Obama. Someone who has to resort to having a talk show host help him win is not someone I want in the white house. If his stance on the issues is not enough, then that speaks louder than Oprah!
For those of you that say Hillary is your girl…Do your research!
Hate to take up a bunch of space; but, obviously some of you are clueless. You jackasses are probably the same nimrods that voted for Bush!
Do a little Google search, or Yahoo…
Please try to do your research before you cast a ballot. We need someone who is truthful; and who is going to make a change.
History repeats itself…Do you really want the history that follows Hillary in the White House?
Fuck no! I can think for myself thanks.
I am actually more inclined NOT to vote for him due to the O influence…she is beyond irritating…she thinks whatever she thinks/feels/says is the end all be all for the rest of America…
That fat ho needs to STFU. Where was Oprah's support of the Democratic party when Bush was seeking election or re-election? She's supporting Obama because he's black. So transparent…
I would never compromise by voting privilege by allowing anyone to influence my vote. In no way could Oprah or anyone else influence my vote.
No way! It's annoying she's supporting him so much! She's all about girl power and won't support Hillary?!! HUH?
love oprah.. but love OBAMA even more!!!!yeahhhhhhh go OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!
NO! Absolutely NOT! In fact, just the opposite… Her presence on the Obama campaign tends to make more intelligent women cringe- Get outta the hen house already!
Oprah isn't coming to influence people to vote for Barack. She's just helping to bring attention to the candidate she's supporting and hoping that you can see her enthusiasm and possibly support him as well.
Endorsements don't mean that suddenly everyone will flock to you. It's just one person saying, "this is my candidate, will you consider supporting him?"
Hillary left Bill in S.C., she brought in a lot of her black supporters to campaign for her in S.C., what's the big deal with Barack having Oprah campaign for him?
Nope, don't like Oprah anyway…It's Hillary all the way. Go Hillary, go Hillary, go Hillary.
Perez you really should try to hide your bias a bit better. Are you not attempting to do the same thing that you are accusing Oprah of doing??
Oprah sucks I hate her.
Hell Yes. You say it all the time…Oprah has power! And I'm listening! BARACK ALL THE WAY!
Re: Midge –
She voted for the war trusting the "word" of the "president" because she was presented with false information. As the world was. She was presented with a plan that had an end. This plan never came to pass the way they were told it would. She was a Senator who was trying to work with the "president" during a time when a difficult decision had to be made (a difficult situation created by the "current president" after the already unbearable situation that was 9/11).
LET'S NOT FORGET WHO'S PRIMARILY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THE LIVES BEING LOST IN IRAQ. THE FISH ALWAYS STARTS ROTTING FROM THE HEAD FIRST.
As a military wife & mother you should have known that little fact about why she voted for the war.
Oprah isn't coming to influence people to vote for Barack. She's just helping to bring attention to the candidate she's supporting and hoping that you can see her enthusiasm and possibly support him as well.
Endorsements don't mean that suddenly everyone will flock to you. It's just one person saying, "this is my candidate, will you consider supporting him?"
Hillary left Bill in S.C., she brought in a lot of her black supporters to campaign for her in S.C., what's the big deal with Barack having Oprah campaign for him? A lot of women support Hillary because they believe a women can do this job. Everyone agrees, but just because she's a woman should not be the chief reason to support her, just to show the world that a woman can do it.
Oprah has definitely helped convince others to support her candidate.
fuck hillary clinton, she's a shade bitch. OBAMA
Heck no.
The issues and their platforms is what decides it for me–not who is endorsing them.
NO - Oprah is annoying as all hell.
no, she definatly doesn't.
Hell yeah! Oprah and Obama all the way. Obama covers my heritage and Oprah covers my gender, maybe she can serve in some capacity in his administration. It's time for a change. Obama will unite all people and both political parties not divide like the Clintons. The Clintons are racist.
No. Oprah has no influence on my vote. I can think for myself, thank you very much. However, I do think that Oprah can't stand seeing another female have more power than she does. She masks this feeling by pushing a black skinned man for president. Oprah has her own agenda.
People should vote for him based on their political views, not because they worship oprah
i think the guy who wants to legalize weed should win hahaha
No influence whatsoever.
Re: Angela –
what specifically should we be searching for?
Oprah has no influence over me politically. No celebrity does, except for maybe Perez!!
TEAM HILARY!!!
she doesn't sway me one way or the other.
I could care less who supports who.
Oprah thinks she is a GOD.
Think for yourselves people!!!!!
No. Oprah does not tell me for whom I should vote. Like Perez, I'm pro-Hillary.
No I don't need Oprah to make up my mind. After looking at a lot of things Oprah has endorsed or thought was the best thing since sliced bread hasn't been all that great for America. An example being Dr. Phil! I do respect and admire Oprah though. She has come a long way as a person. I just hope that all the ladies out there are smart enough to get to know the candidates on their own and pick who they think will impact their families the most and will be the best for America.
We do not need Oprah's stupid ass telling us who we need for President!!!!! Maya Angelou supports Hillary so FUCK Osama, OH I meant OBAMA!!!! Hillary all the WAY!!!
NO - Hillary all the way!
no it doesn't
i'm for obama anyways though
FUCK HILLARY and her hidden agendas
why would we want another clinton in the white house anyways?
I am a white woman. I am voting for Barack Obama. It's all about character, baby…and gender and complexion have nothing to do with it!!! With or without Oprah, Obama has my vote, but since I respect Oprah helps confirm my choice.
She also voted on the Kyl/Lieberman bill to go to war with IRAN which was the EXACT same thing she voted on for IRAQ.
She is either stupid and/or a Hawk or will do and say anything to win GOP war mongering base.
People died because of her votes.
oprah has no influence on the vote of people who really know what issues are important to them and vote accordingly. i am an obama supporter and i will vote for him because he represents what is important to me, my life, my gender and age group, and my financial status. i am worried using oprah to promote his campaign might hurt things….
Re: hilary gets my vote – No one "STAND ON YOUR OWN TWO FEET MAN!, they all depend on the support of others, especially Hillary, if it wasn't for Big Bad Bill she wouldn't be where she is now, twit!
I was at a taping of the Oprah Winfrey show last Thursday and after the show was over and the cameras were off Oprah got up and told us all to vote for Obama (she slipped him in to her talk in reference to our show topic). Almost everyone in the audience jumped up to their feet and started screaming and clapping. Oprah definitely has a VERY strong influence over her viewers and after seeing that reaction I am pretty sure Obama will be elected.
Oh not just NO..Hell No! her opinion has no influence on me what so ever! I personally think she's a nmae dropping ego maniac..who thinks just cuz she's rich her opinion means something. I am so over Oprah Winfrey!
yes

Re: J –
no we wouldn't
Re: Kat
Send me an email, and I will give you a few ideas…
akasten06@yahoo.com
Anyone who wants more info email me. Don't spam me, or send me crap. My husband is in the military; and is a Principal (Education). I can assure you Hillary is not who you want for president. For your children, for our military, for our future…PERIOD
Oprah does have influence and since I like what she's about I would probably be swayed if I could vote in the U.S. You are all so lucky that you have someone so positive on the airways who's american. I think she can set a precedent and stand as a good role model. Much respect to her for that. Go Barack and Go Hilary. May the best (most positive) person win.
I always wondered if Oprah was all about "her people" or Women! This proves she's all about the Blacks! Oprah herself came from nothing! Rags to riches..SHE SHOULD BE A DEMOCRAT!!
Re: kat – (see my msg, send me an email)
Oprah has absolutely NO influence over my vote. I still watch her show, but I feel that the main reason she is endorsing Barak is because he is black. Has she ever endorsed anyone before this? I don't think so. She cannot use her "power" over viewers to sway their votes! TEAM HILLARY!!!!
Also, it is too bad John Edwards had to drop out. He had some great ideas and a good heart!
Celebrity endorcements do not sway my vote. I don;t care if Oprah is campagning for Obama or not, Clinton will get my vote Tuesday.
The Audacity of…..NOPE!
GO HILLARY!!!
Thank you Oprah for giving us the 1563rd reason to not vote for this fraud!
My name says it all! Oprah is racist! She is only backing Osama, oops i meant Obama because he is considered black. They dont even address the issues. I lost all respect for Oprah! And I am not racist im a black male myself, I just speak the FACTS!
…no.
Nope. Oprah's okay, but I make up my own mind about how I'm going to vote. TV talk show hosts have nothing to do with it!
Oprah has endorsed too many less than reputable individuals and books. No I don't think I need Oprah's help to make my voting decisions.
no way!! i have my own opinions. people who vote based on a celebrity endorsement should't be voting
no, she doesn't.
but still… OBAMA '08!!!
Not just NO..HELL NO…I think Oprah is a name dropping ego maniac…who thinks her opinions mean something just because she has money..I am so over Oprah Winfrey!
All of the "military" people need to speak for themselves and not the entire military family.
You are embarassing the rest of us.
HILLARY '08!
She is the reason why I wouldn't be voting for Obama..! She needs her feet back on ground. For god's sake.. I dislike that woman.
Oh Please! The last time he hoofed the Big O out on stage it turned so many women off it hurt his campaign! Don't we have enough brains that we aren't brainwashed by a rich mouthy self absorbed person like Oprah????
Who the hell cares who Oprah endorses? She is basically clueless.
HILLARY!!! Big Mama O can't sway me, actually it makes me want to vote for Hillary even more.
It's desperate and pathetic that he has to use Oprah to gain votes.
No - Oprah's influence means nothing. I have a brain - an intelligent one at that - and I don't require some American Wealthy Talk-Show Host to convince me whom to vote for. HILLRAY 2008 HILLARY 2008 HILLARY 2008.
She's an entertainer and ONLY that.
AND HILLARY HAS TO BRING BILL TO GET THE MEN TO VOTE FOR HER! HAHA, PEREZ YOU ARE A PIECE OF WORK. YOU SHOULD HAVE STICKED WITH OBAMA BECAUSE HE WILL WIN!!
OBAMA 08- WE WANT CHANGE, NOT LIES!!
hell no! if obama has to get oprah to raise his votes then fine…but we all know hilary will win
I like Oprah BUT I think it's a sad day when she can influence politics.
Viva Hillary!
SHAME ON OPRAH, WOMEN MADE HER RICH AND SHE SHOULD HAVE SUPPORTED HILLARY OR KEPT HER MOUTH SHUT. SHE IS ONLY BACKING HIM BECAUSE HE IS BLACK!
I AM DISAPPOINTED IN HER, TRAITOR…
Re: Midge –
Hey dumbass…………………….Hilary is Bill's COAT/TAILS,
SHE WAS AND IS A LAWYER FROM THE START. No one is
more qualified with 8 yrs. of First Lady, Senator …2 terms
..New York..she's worked her whole life..Ali BABA..barrack has
done nothing ..know's nothing. Give me a BREAK..
Oprah does influence my vote - AGAINST anyone she endorses. Oprah doesn't do anything unless it benefits her. How anyone can watch her show and not see that she is totally full of herself and a bigot is beyond me.
VOTE HILLARY! Oprah has no influence on my vote!
No. I don't think its right that Obama has a celebrity with him. I like Oprah, but I will not vote for Obama. He just came out of the blue to become president, I have never heard of him. I also don't think he has experience to hold office. I'm not racial, but don't vote for him just cause he black, vote for someone that can get the job done. Hillary Clinton is what we need, I trust her with our country.
Oprah has a huge effect on women, as evidenced by her book club and other endorsements that result in skyrocketing sales.
I, personally, could give a crap about Oprah, but I'm definitely voting OBAMA! The Clintons are yesterdays news and extremely devisive. I'm over them.
FUCK NO… AND I'M NOT VOTING FOR EITHER OF THESE DOUCHEBAGS EITHER.
