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????

She has no influence at all over my vote, but I love Obama anyway. Hilary's fine, don't get me wrong — I think she'd make a good president, but Barack Obama would be so much better.
He's a much better public speaker, more sincere, and more likeable. He's not polarizing like she is, and he's a much nicer human being.
And, please, please, don't play the experience card. He's spent more time in the legislative branch of the government than she has. She was first lady. BIG SHIT!
No, I hate the fact that he is bringing in Oprah to support him. I VOTE HILLARY.
Re: hilary gets my vote –
and Hillary has to bring her Daddy.
Re: ME –
RACIST COMMENT!
Screw Obama. He has like 2 seconds of experience. Vote for John McCain.
TEAM HILLARY!! She has more experience. Obama seems to talk out of his ass most of the time.
I listen to everything Oprah says. I watch her show religiously. She's the Queen. I obey her every command. HAIL QUEEN OPRAH!! If she tells you to vote for Obama… then hellz yeah.. you'd better do it!!!! Or else face the wrath of Oprah!!
ok so hillary has maya angelou on the airwaves having maya calling her "MY GURL", she also has her former president of a hubby stumping for her. so on the first point she is PANDERING to the african americans by calling in the world known african american woman, and on the second point, is pulling in her former first lady status "clinton's cleaning up after bush" to make people think its going to be the same as when her hubby was in office. IT IS AN ELECTION PEOPLE, hilliary pulled out all the stops, why cant he?GO OBAMA!
If you separate the woman from her husband and just go by what she has done on her own, failed health reform and less time in the senate than obama, voting for the iraq war, WOULD YOU VOTE FOR HER IF SHE WAS JUST SENATOR HILLART RODHAM?
Who the hell cares what this super-rich privileged woman says or who she supports? What does she know? She is completely out of touch - she didn't even know who to pump her own gas when she and her "friend" Gayle traveled across the country.
Hillary has my vote in addition to all of my friends', colleagues', and family's. I do not know of anyone who supports Obama here.
Re: RaeRae –
MISOGYNIST COMMENT!
I hate Oprah. She's such a stuckup self-righteous lunatic. Kinda like Tom Cruise. He was on her show too. The fact that Oprah's supporting Obama makes me want to vote for Hillary. And I'm a man.
Re: Good grief – I see your point. But it is the excact opposite. You actually think the conservatives are going to sit back and let a black man run the country? Let's face it, the Republican voters are frothing at the mouth to take down Hillary and Obama. But they are sincerely afraid of Hillary because they know that she actually stands a chance against McCain! Obama, on the other hand, the conservatives do NOt fear because they know he will be crushed based on peoples insecurities about his race and inexperience. I personally don't have problems with the whole gender/race issue. But if people want to believe that America is that open minded then by all means nominate Obama, only to have McCain for President. GO HILLARY!!!!!
Re: justme –
I have my facts straight, Bill Clinton's presence and outspoken nature in regards to his wife's campaign are leaps and bounds ahead of Michelle Obama. Bill Clinton has easily been more VISIBLE and OUTSPOKEN than any other candidate's spouse. Period.
damn, i think oprah is scared that another woman would be more powerful.
HIllary 08. Obama VP maybe, if he humbles himself….damn….. slowly lift that head up
preacher man
So fucking what Oprah is campaign for Obama!! Celebrities always show their support for canidates in elections!!!What's the BIG FUCKING idea, just because she is black and obama is black. They both are very intelligent people, and Oprah is not a racist because shw is always giving shit to WHITE PEOPLE on her show. ASSHOLESS!!!!JOE your a FUCKING RaCIST BASTARD!!!!All you white people must be getting scared about the thought of a black man in the white house??? who cares as long as he does his job and any one is better than BUSH at this point. White motherfuckers like athlete and comedians and shit..Well guess what we have a fucking brain toooo…Obama is intelligent and also been workibg to change the lives of people!!!
Re: kat –
actually no one is to blame for the war in irak but the american people!!!!!
the americans were 90% to want this war it's only when they realized that it was a no ending war and after many many deads that they changed their mind ( just the last 2 years)
remember? you reelected GWBUSH to finish the war!!!
so at that time like all other senators clinton voted the War, because you were to hurt ( unfotunatelly 9/11) the informations about irak were changing everyday!!!!
you're too unfair on that point==> all americans wanted the war at that moment
if oprah makes you CHANGE and vote for hillary, then you were never voting for obama in the first place. grow up and make your own EDUCATED DECISONS…but hey, this is perezhilton.com so the comments on here don't equal much, but if there is ONE other intelligent person on here…i wish you well on election day….

Re: Sarah –
MISOGYNIST AND SEXIST COMMENT!
Hillary has my vote. Huckabee needs to crawl back into the dark ages. How sad this Country would be if he were elected. Fortunately, He doesn't stand a chance!!!!!
He might want to address the obesity epidemic in the US, but then he'd have to look into his own backyard.
The Dems will take the White House in '08!
WooHoo!!!!!!
Oprah has a big fat 0 influence over my vote. I am voting for Hilliary…it is about time a woman runs the USA. Perez I hope you are behind Hilary.
Re: latinbarbie –
ILLITERATE COMMENT!
nope oprahh isn't that popular anymoree and shes persuading WOMEN away from voting for the potential first female president ..HILARY CLINTON
can think for myself thanks Oprah! Hillary rocks!
Re: me –
No she definitely does NOT!
Oprah should stick to her TV show and her magazine and her books and her…..Barack is a politician….is he going to bring Oprah to the White House with him? Can he do the job? No.
Re: me –
ANOTHER RACIST COMMENT FROM YOU!
Re: ARE YOUR EYES OPEN??? – Oh yes..there you go..and that's exactly how I'm thinking..we need to be very aware this time how electable our Democratic candidate will be!
any democrat that says that bill clinton isn't a huge asset to hillary, and isn't earning her support from the democratic base is kidding themselves. there's a reason she's parading the guy around like a show pony.
She doesn't influence MY vote, but she does make a difference overall. I support Obama regardless, but I'd love to see either of them in the White House…or (ideally), BOTH of them!
Re: Dummies –
AMEN
Re: hilary gets my vote – And what do you call old Billy out there on the campaign route for Hillary?
AND WHAT THE FUCK WITH ALL THIS EXPERIENCE AND SHIT NONE OF US HAVE EXPERIENCE AS POLITCAL ANALYSIT TO LEAVE COMMENTS ABOUT EXPERIENCE. HILLIARY WAS ONLY FIRST LADY, WHILE HER HUSBAND WAS GETTING HIS DICK SUCKED IN THE OVAL OFFICE!!!!SHE ONLY BECAME SENATOR SO SHE COULD RUN FOR PRESIDENT YOU IDIOTS!!!!!!
Re: mom –
OBVIOUSLY JUDGEMENTAL AND A STICK UP YOUR ASS!
I don't give a fuck about Oprah or Obama. I will not vote for him. Hilary is going to win anyhow. Blacks will vote for anyone who is black, just cause he is black. Give me a break…..
she is only supporting him because he is black. where was she the last two elections? Talk about one racist bitch!
It's really sad that Obama has to use other peoples influence to get votes. Does he realise they'll be voting for Oprah and not him?
none at all
Oprah sucks! She's so artificially sympathetic. Too sad she has and will have that much power over houswives (that probably don't care or know anything about politics but think they will be doing Oprah a favor). Don't people have better things to do than watch her boring shows, like WORK?
Stop letting yourself be brainwashed!
Re: JustSayin –
STUPID PEOPLE DO NOT EVEN KNOW HOW TO REGISTER TO VOTE!
That just makes me sick because so many people out there who don't have a mind of their own or any idea what the real issues are will vote for him because of her. Hillary gets my vote! She deserves this!

Absolutely not. She's become an arrogant b****. I used to love her…
Re: stupid high school crush –
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO BACK UP THIS COMMENT?
How many of you are actually voting, though?
Re: Jessica –
as i told his more visible because michelle obama seems dumber and much more agressive!!! so both spouses are in !! but the media and the public opinion has choose between them==> so they are doing the same jobs, but one is juts better at it!!
not a bit…. go ron paul
Hillary has my vote. Huckabee needs to crawl back into the dark ages. How sad this Country would be if he were elected. Fortunately, He doesn't stand a chance!!!!!
For Huckabee '08: This is for you:
He might want to address the obesity epidemic in the US, but then he'd have to look into his own backyard. That would be too painful! Sorry to the only Huckabee supporter on this thread, but you are delusional to think he'll win. Yes, as you suggested, I will mark your words and the rest of us smart ones will throw a party in your honor. We'll all be bringing copies of "the Constitution for dummies" as well as a one way plane ticket for you back to Podunk. Your family kinda misses you there.
Re: Vote for Hillary! –
OBVIOUSLY A FEMI-NAZI:
VOTE FOR A WOMAN ONLY BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN!
you mean like how hillary is trying to "lure" hispanic voters?
seriously perez, quit trying to be a journalist.
it's so annoying.
Re: Drew –
TARNSLATION:
IF YOU ARE BLACK AND VOTE FOR A BLACK CANDIDATE

Not at all. Oprah is racist
Re: Jan –
WHY JUST ISRAEL?
Absolutely not. I love Oprah, but I do have a mind of my own. I'm voting Hillary. I refuse to vote for someone of little political experience. I also refuse to vote for someone who refuses to say the Pledge of Allegiance and who wants to be sworn in on the Quran. Excuse me if that last statement about the Quran sounds prejudice, but think about the feelings that those who worship the Quran have toward us Americans. Do we really want that? This country needs to be cleaned up, and quick. And I don't understand what the big deal about Bill supporting Hillary is. He was a great president. I think Hillary has the knowledge, experience, and determination (not to mention the backup) to do great things.
With or without Oprah, Obama is by far the best choice. Hillary and Bill have already shown their true colors - using dirty tactics. Obama represents everything America is about. He will fearlessly make the changes that are needed. The mere fact that someone as enlightened as Oprah recognises this is a tribute to his leadership skills.
HELL NO! oprah hasn't done shit for me lately! Hilary in 08!
You know i go back and forth…but right now I am for Obama. The last debate they did, really made me want to vote in Obama! Before that I was all for Hilary.
FUCK that bitch Oprah!!!!! That bitch has so much money and yet all she does is build ONE fucking school in Africa……i know she donates money and also builds homes in New Orleans but c'mmon all that money she is probably uising to endorese this mo'fo ..she swears she is always doing the "right thing" fuck her and fuck Obama. "Its going to take a 2nd Clinton to clean up after the 2nd Bush"
Oprah's a dick
OBAMA RAMA!!!!!!
Re: cc –
OBAMA SUPPORTS THE DECRIMINALIZATION OF WEED
HILLARY DOES NOT!
Re: Shanz – HilRe: jenlovesSmith – "It's going to take another Clinton…" What? Are you serious? You really want a dynasty? If Hillary has two terms that 27 years of our country being ruled by the same two families. That's more than a little frightening.
THIS will backfire on obama…..
Oprah has absolutely no effect on my vote if anything it makes me think less. Her choices of people to endorse is rather sad in example Dr. Phil who isn't even a real Dr. Or the biography book where it ended up being completely falsified. Sorry Oprah, perhaps you should stay quiet.
no that bitch is crazzzzy!!!
Please, Barack is insulting every american by EXPLOITING the fact that Oprah is a powerful black woman!
By doing this he is dumbing down America! And people say that Hillary is too into corporations….Oprah's stupid..i never will trust anyone who gives Dr. Phil & Rachel Ray a JOB!!!
Re: THE TRUTH –
THERE ARE NO 'MIDDLE-AGED" WOMEN RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT!
Re: Kat –
As far as Obama's experience goes: he has been an elected official for longer than Hillary.
For all those who say Obama should stand on his own two feet and not bring Oprah out, let's make that for both sides, let's make Bill stop campaigning also.
Personally, I will vote for the opposite of whoever Orpah is supporting.
Okay, let Hillary clean up all of this mess first, then I say go for it Obama!
What a lame ass pussy. He needs Oprah so that he could pull in votes. Is this what America wants as their next President? This shows how insufficient he is. He is not ready to be our next President. Im a Democrat, but if runs for President, I am sorry but I will have to vote for the Republican side.
Re: daisybroad –
HIS SMILE IS AMAZING FOR SURE.
HE SHOULD RELAX AND SMILE MORE!
It wont really matter. He will win Delegates no matter what. Hispanics that want to be white anyway will vote for Hillary. Perez stop trying to sway people away from Obama. You're not that cleaver. I see what you're doing…what did Obama do so wrong in his message??? He is bringing out his big supporters but like that devisive and coniving Clinton is doing. If she gets the nomination, you cant bet on the same last 7 years we've had becasue republicans HATE her more than they do Obama and will vote against her and put Mccain or Romney in office. You have to think SMART!
It's not that Oprah has an overwhelming influence on my voting decision, it's that, in my opinion, Barack Obama is the best candidate. I am a feminist, an advocate for women's rights, and a proud member of the Democratic party, and though Hillary is a strong candidate, Barack advocates for the equality of all people, regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, race, or nationality. Hillary is a wonderful woman and a great leader, but Barack's healthcare plan, his alternative energy plan, and his dedication to diplomacy make the kind of president our country needs. He, unlike Hillary, has refused to accept money and campaign funds from special interest groups and lobbyists, and has relied only on the support of the American people. Hillary is going to have to make decisions in the White House that serve the interest of the lobbyists she is indebted to, while all of Obama's decisions will be fueled by the interest of the American people.
heck, NO!
OBAMA 08!
Top three reasons I like Obama:
1. Does not take money from Political Action Committies or corporations.
2. Has a strong stance on civil liberties, including gay rights–which Hillary has continually changed sides on.
3. Has repeatedly shown that he can get things done by bringing people of all beliefs–left and right—together.
No way. Oprah is trying to be a kingmaker. Hillary has the experience and the smarts. Obama has Oprah. He's just another one of her "favorite things."
Why has Oprah Winfrey always stood up for Women's issues..etc but as soon as a woman is running for presidential office..she backs up a Man?
Ladies,
Please think for your self—-you do not need ophah to think for you!
VOTE FOR THE RIGHT PERSON– YOU THINK IS GOING TO BE GOOD FOR THE USA
You can't go wrong with Oprah.
Oprah has no influence over my vote at all. I'm not gonna let her tell me what I should do.
Obama is the first person (regardless of color and gender) to speak from the heart and stand by policies that are morally just, not politically motivated! wake up people!!! Hilary is great, but she's just another politician. Obama is a leader unlike any we have had in this country in a very long time…
OBANATION 08!!!!
i hate oprah, but i love obama. hillary clinton represents more of the same.
Luring women??? Then why isn't she backing Hilary???? It is all about race to her………
GREAT answer!! You hit the nail right on the head
I hate you OPRAH!!!
I miss you OPRAH!!!
DONT NOBODY VOTE FOR OSAMA!!!
I WANT MY OPRAH BACK!!!
COME TO ME sugahhhh!! leave that man and come to me
Re: heyyyyaahhh – YES I WOULD! You know why? Because I LIVE in NY and actually know what she has done, a lot more than Obama who barely votes. She has gotten medical insurance for children and has fought for congress only getting a raise if the minimum wage is raised and that is only naming a few. What has Obama fought for? It's sick how Obama just gets Hilary haters, Oprah lovers, Celebrities who don't know what the fuck they are talking about, and people who are half informed on what he has done and stands for. And for everyone saying, well Hillary has people supporting her, yeah and you know what, unlike Obama, the people supporting her can actually state why they stand for her, what she can do and what issues are important to them. Celebrity Barak supporters have NOT done any of this. You see them all talk about how they think Barak should be the next president, but they never say why! And even the owner of BET(who is black) blasted Obama for trying to make Hillary look racist, so don't think Obama is amazing and doesn't use dirty politics either.
Hell no Hillary all the way! freak obfuckma
If Oprah endorses anything, I run the opposite direction. She does not speak for me nor to me. Hillary all the way!!!!
