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.

Re: This Country is STUPID! – I couldn't have said it better myself…I am not from NY but still have the intelligence to know that everything you said is correct. You are right on and a smart cookie - you're the sibling I didn't even know I had!!
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: Are you really paying attention? –
He's running for PRESIDENT. That is, by definition, politically motivated. How naive are you?? Go feed your unicorn!
i m glad to know that most of the readers of perez hilton are going for hillary - the one who ann coulter endorses & Hillary is said be "close" to john mccain/republican- EXCELLENT!! yay- screw the 911 widows & screw the liberals!!! beautiful. Republicans win one way or the other you Democrat assholes (whether mccain or hillary!)
)
Re: Stevie – Hilary is just going to tax you to death. For the "good of the country." How is it good for you if your paycheck is smaller? How are you going to afford food?
OBAMA ALL THE WAY!!!!
clintons are a JOKEEEEEEEEEEEE.
Fuck NO! Oprah has as much connection to reality as Britney. Go Hillary!!!!
yES, IT MAKES ME VOTE FOR hILARY–sTAY HOME oPRAH.
Re: BIG –
Bill is a sexual predator and rapist.
The kennedys have murdered someone (Ted), paralyzed someone (the one who wrecked his car and threw a teenage girl into a tree), been pedophiles (slept with the 14 year old baby sitter), lied, cheated, and stole elections- oh yeah, they are just great recommendations.
Oh please god, let Oprama win!!!
Oprah doesn't sway my vote. I'm voting for Obama because he's the best candidate.
No bloody way! Wont' even watch her shows no more. She's a phony. He's a phony. Check out his double crossing his own constituents with his Nuclear Bill in the NY Times today (Saturday, Feb.2/08)
Barak's had my vote for two years!
My best friend is voting for Obama cause she's a big Oprah fan. She couldn't tell you much about what he stands for but she trusts Oprah's judgment. Kind of silly to let people think for you. :p
oprah is ridiculous she shouldnt use her celebrity status to help get obama votes. theres a difference between hillary using her husband, a former president and obama using oprah. people who vote for obama just because of oprah are ignorant and dont deserve to vote
OPRAH CAN TELL ME WHO THE FUCK TO VOTE FOR WHEN THE BITCH STARTS PAYING MY BILLS!! STUPID CUNT!!!!!!!
Re: Kristina – THANK YOU!!!!! I TOTALLY AGREE!! LOOK AT THE ISSUES PEOPLE….AND MAKE YOUR OWN DECISION!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Midge –
The Clinton's didn't take us into war, g.w. did. He tricked them all. The Clinton's however left g.w. a SURPLUS OF 200 BILLION DOLLARS, WHEN G.W. TOOK OFFICE. That money is gone and so is Trillions more. The Clinton's know how to create jobs and clean
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.
GO HILLARY!!!! KICK BALLS GIRL!! AND THAT MEANS KICK OPRAHS TOO!!
HILARY IS A BITCH…….GO OBAMA!
No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Being a woman, I'm supporting THE WOMAN, Hillary Clinton!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
Re: Qheen – …and she has been in public service for better than 25 years. That is walking the walk, not just talking the talk.
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!
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)?
HELL NO. I HATE THAT BITCH OPRAH. AND THE LATINOS in LA DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT HER EITHER.
NOT one bit.
but I've already decided on Obama. If I hadn't already decided, it may have swayed my vote away from him.
Hell no..I don't even read her book club suggestions..
Re: Karyn – Romney? So we can get further in the hole than we already are???? Look at the current deficit in his home state, then talk to me about economics…….NOT.
Just the fact that the "big guns" means Oprah and NOT Obama is telling of his candidacy.
BTW, did anyone know that Obama was baptized as an ADULT?? Odd.
not really, i was voting for obama before. he is the man.
Didn't Nostradamus predict the name of the next antichrist was MABUS (Or something like that)? Little too close for me.. and isn't he like Muslim or something? I thought the prez had to have a Christian backround? hmmm IDK.
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.
Hell to the No. In fact anything Oprah likes, I'll personally boycott.
My vote is for Romney! Holla!
Oprah is a gredy, materialistic bitch. Oh yeah, and she hires sexual predators as school teachers.Niiiiiiiiicccee!!!
Re: ME – duh! she's awful she just is just doing this as you said because he is black get lost fatprah go away and dont come back does anybody realize that the only reason he is the way he is now is becaue of that awful fat pig
I plan to vote for the best canidate with American values. That will be Mitt
Romney. No other person on this year's weak list qualifies.
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.
If Oprahs name is attached to something, then I know it ain't no good!
BIG O HAS NOTHING TO DEFER ME FROM BELIEVING IF OBAMA GETS IN OFFICE OUR KIDS WILL BE LEARNING TO PLUCK A CHICKEN AND DEEP FRY IT WITH COLLARD GREENS! HAHAHA
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!
VOTE REPUBLICAN - PLEASE VOTE FOR HILLARY(screw McCain)….If Ann Coulter can be sure of Hillary, we can. Fuck Oprah!
She's a racist media ho with a hidden agenda.
No, I am getting sick of Oprah: plus I already vote for Hilary, she will so win California.
Re: Kelsey –
So why not make a similar post about all the women who are voting for Hillary just because she's a woman?
Oprah's cult of personality has NO influence over my vote. I know Obama is the candidate for me, but that stupid bitch sure didn't have ANYTHING to do with it.
Re: HEIDI –
You mean deter? Sweetheart, you're in no position to tell ANYONE how to vote. Do this country a favor and stay away from the voting booth.
I live in Los Angeles and Oprah has NO influence over my vote.
GO HILLARY!!!
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.
Matters not about Oprah or Ted, Hil's got my vote.
I will vote for my girl Hill!!
VOTE 4 HUCKABEE!!!
[b]Ann Coulter on Fox News asserting that if he gets the GOP nomination she would not only "vote for" Hillary, she would "campaign for her if it's McCain."
.
.
She said on Hannity & Colmes last night that Clinton "is more conservative than he is" and added that in that scenario "she will be our girl."
even being Australian she influences my views on the world because..well, it's Oprah, and i'm sure, a person who doesn't make decisions without thinking them through.
Obama has the most women's rights on his platform than all the other demorcrats, women should vote for him! he's for our civil liberty after all!
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.
America is not ready for a black man or a woman. they only like male redneck idiotic terrorists for their presidents so no matter wat oprah or anyone does it will not influence stupid american voters who previously voted for an bonehead of a president like George Bush.
Re: Ceara –
if hillary clinton wasn't bill's wife, she would have never been elected to the senate seat in new york, and she certainly wouldn't be running for president.
BAHA 'Huckabee' 4 president??? that's almost as pathetic as the name 'Bush' for a president! LMAO!!
I don't vote Muslim or Go-rilla!
Yeah, she's influencing me NOT to vote for the pecker head!! Oprah is the most over rated bitch ever!
Just like the celebs Hiliary brings out don't make me want to vote for her or because she is a woman, i'm voting for the person i believe will do the best job and hiliary won't!!! BE SMART PEOPLE!!!
I AM A REPUBLICAN..CAN YOU JUST LET ME BUY SOME
STRANGE FROM A DIRTY BOY AND FUCK HIS BRAIN'S OUT
IN THE BATHROOM WHILE PEOPLE TAKE SHIT/S/ VOTE
FOR ME.
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 LOVE OBAMA AND I HOPE HE BECOMES THE NEXT PREDISENT BUT I HATE OPRAH SHE IS STUPID AND I THINK WELL YEA STUPID
Hell No, she doesnt influence who i am going to vote for. Plus Oprah is giving Obama a big head. He is not ready to be president> Hilary all the way America!!!!!
Re: justme –
AHAHAHAHA AND WHY DO YOU THINK HILLARY RAN FOR THE SENATE SEAT IN NEW YORK, A STATE SHE DIDN'T EVEN LIVE IN? You're so naive, it kills me.
who cares who the big O votes for…HILLARY is the only one I would vote for
No because I can't stand Oprah and I'm not going to vote for someone because a "celebrity" is endorsing him/her
NO!
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!!!
I respect Oprah for all she does but am not really a fan.
I really liked John Edwards, but now I think I am leaning towards HIllary!
Oprah… Your my girl but Sorry so is Hillary !!!
HILLARY CLEAN IT UP !!!
No that bitch has nothing to do w/ who i want to win! Hillary 100% baby**
Disappointed with Oprah after beliving she was for all women regardless of our race.
Change to me is A Woman! Obama is another man! Let us see what a woman can do, after all, we were all raised by our mothers!
not really, but i really like barack. hillary is a mean person and shouldnt be president. my opion.
Re: duh –
well she did and did it really well… she was hugely reelected and not on her husband name .while Obama didn't bother to finish his first mandate as a senator ( or taking this position seriously…he never voted!) to run for the presidency… talk about egocentrism and lack of experience…
the guy is just a media fluff if he wasn't black nobody would really pay attention to him!!
Yes, she's a huge influence in who I will vote for. I will vote for whom ever she doesn't.
FUCK NO……FAT COW SHOULD STAY IN THE WINDY CITY, her opinion is shit but unfortunately dumbass ignoramians of this country are too lazy to determine on their own who is the best candidate, so they rely on celebritards…………..
Re: Anna –
i am not naive!!! both are politicians … but at least HILLARY took her charge seriously and waited to be reelected to run ………..it speeks by itself: OBAMA ran with the same aim but he didn't took his charge seriously.. to impatient to run as president…….who's the mos hungry!!!! oh yes i'm wrong he's the new messiah aimed only with the great good……..
I think Oprah likes him because of his race and he is from IL. She has always been about women and powerful women. Well now we have one HILLARY CLINTON and she is turning her back. I think she a hipocrate and I have lost all respect for her!
HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT. BLACK WOMEN ARE VOTING FOR OBAMA BECAUSE HE IS BLACK. POLLS SAY ABOUT 80% VOTE BECAUSE HE IS BLACK. TYPICAL FOR THAT RACE. HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!
To Big:
Robert Kennedy Jr., Kathleen Kennedy and Kerry Kennedy are supporting Hillary.
GO HILLARY!
Hell no! I don't care who Oprah is stumping for. I still will be voting for Hillary Clinton.
Fuck yeah Oprah influences decisions. Any fucking time a book was even mentioned on her show, all the bullshit middle age soccer moms would flock to the store in droves to throw their money down for it. Minions.
I'm gonna vote for the candidate Oprah is NOT endorsing. She brought us Schwarzeneger & Dr. Phil. No way in hell I'm voting for Obama. She just makes him look bad.
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 .
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.
All Americans should have health care as good as Congress. They have the best health care in the world. GO HILLARY!!
I use to really like her but I don't care for what she's become. A little too big headed. She will probably sway alot people but not me. If anything, it makes me NOT want to vote for him
No way! I think he's a little shady.. and to me Oprah is always just going to be Sofia from The Color Purple. I don't see what the big hype is with her anyway.
she controls all stupid people and their vajayjays xD
have ur own decision people!!
Oprah picked her race over her gender. Oprah, who is all about empowerment of women, picked an arrogant man for her endorsement, over a strong, experienced woman.
NO WAY. Her book club isn't even that good. Like I'd let her decide my presidential vote?
HILLARY HILLARY HILLARY.
Re: hilary gets my vote –
yeah because hilary doesnt bring big mouth bill with her to back her up…oh and i dont think i want my president to cry because she doesnt get what she wants.
Barrack the Vote Bitch!
