Not only is Oprah Winfrey endorsing Barack Obama's presidential bid, she's going on the road to campaign for him!
Does Oprah's approval sway your vote in any way????
Posted: November 28, 2007 at 10:08 am
No way….would make me vote for someone else for sure now. I had thought of voting for him but not now as this just turns me right off. Go HILARY!!!!
Re: onemomwhosnuts – Not sure if you realized this (or anyone who keeps saying it) but deciding to not like Obama or like him less because Oprah is supporting him means that OPRAH IS SWAYING YOUR VOTE!!!!
hahah….yeah right….i willnot listen to her in any way…obama is way over his head….oprah is a nice lady but when it comes to politics…i made up my mind already, and my vote goes to hilary…
it's a BLACK thing
it's a BLACK thing
hell no…hillary forever.
Oprah in no way will sway my opinion on anything. She should be swaying from the trees in the jungle with Tarzan. She is a bigot, a hypocrite, ego-maniacal, and has a proven, poor sense of judgement. She is a fraud. She should just go back to her over-paid world as talk show host and shut up.
Yes, it swayed me to not vote for him, seriously!
why does hollywood think their voice matters more or deserves to be heard more than anybody elses? the media and oprah would have you believe that the majority of the country is for abortion, gay rights, yadda yadda yadda. the truth is, most people cant stand hollywood and want nothing to do with their thoughts, opinions, or motives, and no, this is not opinion- this is fact (look at the stats). this will only hurt politicians and piss the country off. fake fake fake fake.
Oprah has no compassion. She hugs all her guests (except for her celebrity friends) like they have a disease. WHY would I want to follow her vote? She has good shows, but I don't care for her. And Obama (Idiot) doesn't love America. He has no care for us, he just wants to be the 1st BLACK PRESIDENT. AND it won't happen. Hilary has no empathy, no feelings, and NEVER smiles. SHE scares the shit out of me. NEITHER ONE OF THOSE ODD PEOPLE WILL WIN> So, all this talk about them, is going to go NO WHERE! Give me a break…I LOVE THE USA! I AM PROUD! Support our SOLDIERS!

once again, who the fuck cares who oprah supports??? i hate that bitch more than striesand.
NEGATIVE
not at all. oprah should stay neutral - not that she cares anymore, but she will lose fans over this.
Celebrity opinions (to me anyway) are like assholes…everybody has one, but theirs is no better than mine. I don't vote for anyone except who I believe is the best person (at least from the available candidates)…no celebrity opinion will sway my vote one way or another.
sorry about all the copied ones..my computer was acting up, and i didn't know for sure if my comment was going to post. forgive me
NO way! Everyone she has on her show is S H A D Y . That book author - fake! And the plastic surgeon - killed someone! Oprah, having money doesn't make you smart. Don't listen to her people!
no
NO WAY!!!!!!
Aaargh! When will she stop?
I honestly cannot grasp why people in the States seem to love this woman so much. Her moralizing, righteous tone drives me crazy. Why anyone would care about what she has to say is beyond me…
Not at all! Although all the crazy ladies out there that worship her probably will be, what a shame!
I see Barack is making a hotel commercial. Not much class, but any publicity is good. I wonder if he is tapping Oprah's chubby butt?
President John Edwards, get use to the sound of that folks.
No. I am voting for Ron Paul in the 2008 elections.
He wants to take power from corporate business and put it back in to the hands of The American People. He wants to re-instate the United States Constitution and Our Bill of Rights.
If he were black or a woman, I would vote for him. I wish he were either, because I think that we are at a point in History, where race and sex don't matter anymore. BUT, he just happens to be an old white guy with a very very good dream.
I'm a Dem but this woman has a serious God complex, she really gets on my tits!
It won't sway my vote!!!! I'm already on TEAM OBAMA!!!!!
It won't sway my vote!!!! I'm already on TEAM OBAMA!!!!!
It won't sway my vote!!!! I'm already on TEAM OBAMA!!!!!
It won't sway my vote!!!! I'm already on TEAM OBAMA!!!!!
It won't sway my vote!!!! I'm already on TEAM OBAMA!!!!!
It won't sway my vote!!!! I'm already on TEAM OBAMA!!!!!
HELL NO
HELL NO hillary all the way
No way! I can't believe she's not giving her support to Hillary Clinton and helping to make history by getting a strong woman into the white house! Go Hillary!!!!
I love Oprah but she doesn't sway my vote. TEAM HILLARY!
everything she says is canned.
I have always thought Oprah was overrated! The way the audience actually cries when she enters her studio is absolutely pathetic. And the fact that Oprah is backing Barack is also pathetic. It is completely obvious she is only doing so because he is black, considering she has never backed a candidate before. Her audience should be insulted.
never liked oprah in the past, i think this is a liability for barack but i'm sure alot of dufus's will think - since O is "god" - that BO must be -the man-. not.
Ugh - come on…the ONLY reason why she's backing this candidate is because he's african-american! I watched the democratic debates. Obviously SHE didn't! It's unfortunate. Oprah has a lot of followers…whomever she supports, they will support. Whomever she votes for, they will vote for. Let's hope it's not enough to elect Barack as President of the United States.
oPRAH FINALLY CONFIRMS SHES BLACKK….SHIT THERE GOES HER FAME…
WE ALWAYS THOUGHT SHE WAS WHITE.,…FUCKKK WE VE BEEN CUNNED ,,,SHE IS A NEGRO…
oPRAH IS BLACK?????? NO WHITE GONNA WATCH HER AGAIN
oPRAH FINALLYY CONFIRMS SHES BLACKK….SHIT THERE GOES HER FAME…
WE ALWAYS THOUGHT SHE WAS WHITE.,…FUCKKK WE VE BEEN CUNNED ,,,SHE IS A NEGRO…
oPRAH IS BLACK?????? NO WHITE GONNA WATCH HER AGAIN
she's only endorsing him because he's black.
This popcorn politics bullshit needs to stop.Look at the issues and the experience and Barack wouldnt even be in the top 5.
oPRAH FINALLYY CONFIRMS SHES BLACKK….SHIT THERE GOES HER FAME…

oPRAH IS BLACK?????? NO WHITE GONNA WATCH HER AGAIN
Let's be honest: the only reason that she is endorsing him - and to this extent - is that he is (half) black.
Oprah is the biggest bigot of all - she lets the candidate's skin color determine her vote.
oPRAH FINALLYY CONFIRMS SHES BLACKK….SHIT THERE GOES HER FAME…

ARE YOU ALL FUCKING KIDDING ME HERE?? Oprah can't even pick a decent book for her damn book club.. what makes ANYONE think she can pick a president? Bitch needs to get off that damn high horse before I push her fat ass off of it. Barack Obama is the worst candidate this country has ever seen for President of the United States. I've never seen anyone as inexperienced as this man. America isn't ready for a black president and we never will be. Plus, what if his ass gets elected and then someone shoots him, gets his vice president too and then look who's president then.. NANCY PELOSI, and who wants that?! That's worse than Billary getting elected. I shudder to think.
BOTTOM LINE - NOBAMA '08, THE CAMPAIGN TO KEEP BARACK OBAMA OUT OF OFFICE WILL TAKE OVER NEXT YEAR AND THAT DUMBASS WILL BE NOWHERE NEAR THOSE BALLOTS IN NOVEMBER.

NO!! As a matter a fact it has swayed meto vote the other direction. It makes me crazy that there are people out there will actually vote for someone because their favorite star is endorcing them.
SHE NEEDS TO KEEP HER NOSE OUT OF POLITICS!!! HE'S NOT GONNA WIN!!! NEITHER IS CHILLARY!!!!! EDWARDS OR DODD!!!!!! IN 08 !!!!!!
She's black, he's black. Let's be real, folks. That's the reason I'm sure Oprah is doing this.
She is so past "her prime"…..everyone is getting so fed up with her and her almighty power plays. She has gotten such a big head it is going to explode. The people that "swoon" over her everyday in her audience make me sick…watch her play the cameras to make sure if a star is on there that she is looking good singing along, etc. Go away Oprah and take Obama with you….you two deserve each other. She might want to teach him about respect for our flag while she is preaching.
She's not paying my bills. Ofcourse not. Haven't celebs learned from the past??? When celebs try to force candidates in our faces, it always ends up slapping them in the face.
Wow what a waste of her time. Like he has a chance in hell!!
She's the Anti-Christ and you all don't know it yet.
Nope…. I could care less about her opinion. She's a talk show host. Let's put this in perspective. She's a know-it-all who now has added politics to her portfolio of expertise!
Re: jennnnn – Amen. Sad.
SHe's only doing it because he's black! She should have picked a winner, I don;t like him he's going to lose.
I heard there is a video of barack and hiliary at some function and when the pledge of allegience was done, he did NOT put his hand over his heart nor repeat the allegience with everyone else. He did not acknowledge it at all, so i don't think we want this type person running the USA! Not crazy about hiliary either but not alot of choices out there. PEREZ for PREZ!!
Fuck no…Oprah doesn't sway shit…I"m my own person and don't need influence from some nobody entertainer…just another one of Hollyhell spawns that thinks money is equal to that of God. plus she's black and a female!? oh shit no…i owe her something like the rest of the world…
It would not matter who backed a candidate, I would CHOOSE myself! Not to mention that fact that Oprah is backing a person who will not even say the national anthem or even hold his hand over his heart during it. How can you vote for a person who has no respect for the national anthem. To me that means he has no respect for this country! She is only backing him because he is black. She obviously has not done any research past that.
Are any of the candidates presently running for office going to be that much different? I doubt it. They are all part of the same club.
Even if Barack Obama looks good now to some, even if he did get in as president, I believe he would turn into a disappointment or be murdered if he didn't follow the corrupt system in place or tried to change things too much. Because the powers behind the scene would not co-operate with anyone who did not play their game, whatever that game is.
The Congress, Senate and the Supreme Court seems as though they are corrupt and that they are under some control other than what we have been taught they should be. And they seem to have put themselves into positions to be blackmailed by some sort of sex acts that have probably been taped without their knowlege or other problems even if they see something going wrong and try to change it. So they appear to be useless for the American public.
I wouldn't want to swim in those waters.
Think about it.
Why would anybody even want to be president? It seems like whoever wins the job becomes corrupted right away and their hair turns gray. Besides, the president is only small potatoes in the grand scheme of things.
The president answers to the few wealthy families that control the world, the big corporations and a few other powerful entities that we don't know about. The president doesn't seem to work for U.S. citizens or the U.S.
So it doesn't matter who wins whether they are black or white, the real powers behind the scenes from the public eye will still control the president.
No there is no way i would let any celeb sway my vote…if you allow that you cant think for yourself!
Barack is capable of being voted into office and conducting a decent presidency (one can only hope); but if he wasn't African-American Oprah wouldn't give two sh*ts about him! Let's face it, she is all about cultural backgrounds as opposed to who can actually better this country. Bitch needs to swallow her pride and realize that not everything in this world is a black/white issue.
It will definately make a difference because people trust her.
I'm black and Oprah will not make me vote for him because most of the ppl in America are still racist and though they're plenty of ppl who are not it's just not going to happen I would like a woman president but John Edwards will make a good president…imo
The issue of "race" in America is a convenient divisive tool to keep the population in ignorance, fighting with one another and stirred up on nonsense racial disturbance so that we won't come together and see how the few families that run the world are dismantling the U.S. for their own power, wealth and gain. So far it has worked.
Race issues seems to be losing its importance, or the grip it once had in the U.S., but it worked long enough for the powers to be to get as far as they have gotten without distraction from the population.
It looks like Bush is being controlled. Why do you think things are so out of whack under his administration? He doesn't seem like he has enough wherewithal to be doing all the damage that is being put in place under his regime. Somebody more powerful than him is doing it. He is just the puppet.
Think about it. Why would Bush ruin his own country?
(this message continues because it is too long for one post)
What does she know about anything other than her silly groupie gals talkshow.She went on and on about a Million Little Pieces book, which turned out to be a total joke.Shes only standing up for Barack because she wants to vice president if hes elected.This womans ego is huge,its bigger than her hair.I trust anything that comes out of her mouth,those stepford wifes audience members practically have a orgasam when she comes out on stage,yuk .Stay out of politics
oprah needs to shut the fuck up. this isnt her book club… shes not telling us what the hot new read is… its the future president. i swear i dont know who she think she is anymore. what she says should have no influence on anyone in this matter! SHE IS A GOD DAMN TALK SHOW HOST. seriously. did we forget that.
All it does for me is convince to continue not watching her show. For her to support someone that up until 10 years ago was a practicing muslim, well, now I REALLY question her judgement.
Not in the least. While she may have good intentions, and she has every right as an American to share her support for a candidate with others, I can make my own decisions. A celebrity doesn't necessarily know any more about a candidate nor do they evaluate and analyze their policy proposals any better than the average citizen.
Oprah has never done this before? Didn't she endorse Bill Clinton? I'm going to go with YES.
Maybe she did it because he's white.
I dunno.
It is because he is black and nothing more. Oprah is a racist albeit a socially generous one. It has been reported over and over again that ALL of her house staff are WHITE. This is one more notch on her belt. Does her opinion matter? Not at all. She like many Hollywood types are so removed from reality that they think they know how EVERYONE thinks.
Its unfortuante to say, but she is endorcing him because he is black. Really, what does she care about gas prices, or heating oil…
eckkk oprah is evil! barrack is a joke! Vote Hillary…don't throw your vote away on some guy who doesn't have the experience to run a country!
isn't it interesting that the blonde white lady wants us to vote for the blonde white lady, and the inspirational black lady wants us to vote for the inspirational black man. coincidence?
NOPE…any woman who can reinvent herself to ride the crest of our public longing for female/ethnic role models, back in the day, appear to "bare her soul" early on in her "career=" (by the way, she's a lousy interviewer…its all about Oprah every time) but fail to mention she had a baby when she was a teen that did not survive. If your sharin' honey, that would have made you VERY accessable to many in our community…but of course it wouldn't have fit in with the image you were painting of yourself…selective revealing always comes back to bite you. And, most importantly…no one should have that much power in this world…she's doomed to be taken down by someone…people grow to resent folks with that much power (and absolute power DOES corrupt, absolutely), no matter how many cars and TVs she gives away during holiday time! and by the way…i know lots of schools right here in America that could have used your touch ($) to educate the people HERE…how about it, money bags??
Yes! Definetely.
I'm Canadian, but if I were a US voter, O's endorsement would confirm my choice of candidate — Hillary!
YES IT WILL SWAY MY VOTE. I TRUST AND ADMIRE OPRAH WINFREY.
Obama is a joke. He is so far from being a proud American. The man won't even put his hand on his heart during the pledge. Who wants someone in there who is obviously not for the American people. Huckabee 2008!!!
Obama Bin Laden Won't be president. Orpah, when she sold her soul, agreed it would be color before gender so she has no choice in this support.
Well if you read Perez like i do, you have to be a little retarded but reading all the comments, yes Oprah will sway my opinion because it brings out the truth in people. I don't think she's support Baraka because he's black, like why is President Clinton supporting Hillary. And the fact a famous black person is supporting another black person, brings race to the front issue, if you can't handle it, put another Bush in the office and complain another 8 years while he ruins the country.
OBAMA IS A REPUBLICAN DISTRACTION FROM WHAT THIS COUNTRY REALLY NEEDS! I WOULD NEVER CAST MY VOTE FOR SOMEONE WHO READS OTHERS LINES AND FALSIFIES INFORMATION AND WOULD NEVER HAVE ENOUGH EXPERIENCE—– FOLKS DO YOUR RESEARCH THIS IS TO MUCH OF IMPORTANT ELECTION TO BE FUCKING AROUND - MY-YOUR and SO MANY OF OUR FUTURES ARE AT STAKE!!!!!!
Well, I never liked the awful looking bastard in the first place. And Oprah? Some endorsement, coming from her, whose show featuring the murdering plastic surgeon encouraged Kanye's beautiful mom to go to him. I'm not wild about her muff-diving escapades with her so-called "friend" Gayle, either, not that I could give a damn if she's of the lesbian persuasion or not. Oprah can hide that she's gay, so she must think fuck the gay people, I bet if she could have hid she was black she would have done that too.
Americans are so stupid it makes me sick I had to stop reading. The idiots that wrote most of these comments didn't even vote. Your last President started a war to line his own pockets and you idiots voted him in twice. USA is going down China will be the next superpower you people owe them so much money now they can come in and have a yard sale.
WOW so many of you commenting here are ignorant. It amazes me how little many of you know about life yourselves and your own dim witted selves.
She doesn't sway me… but I agree with her Barrack is a great candidate.
Comment revised: WOW so many of you commenting here are ignorant. It amazes me how little many of you know about life, the history of the US and your own dim witted selves.
who cares what Oprah thinks or who she votes for. Her opinions have absolutely NO bearing on any of my decisions, much less one as important as the presidential election. Unfortunately though, there are millions of idiots out there who will vote for Obama just because Oprah "said so". It seems the whole world has forgotten that Oprah is just a news reporter!
im for barack but i believe her main reason in support for him is his skin colour , i would like nothing better than an african american as president or even to see a women as president but to choose either because of it is slightly wrong , its what they can do for the country as presidents and people not for there gender or skin colour
Re: tj – What an idiotic thing to say. Now that women have become power players and are endorsing candidates, as men have done forever, your 'answer' is to deny women the vote. Good Lord. You're obviously not much of a thinker, and sound like more of a neanderthal in denial.
It's a no brainer why she is endorsing him - they're both black. And now she expects all her fans to like him as well? Please! It should be a rule that you can't have celebs endorsing a presidential candidate. People who are easily brainwashed fall right into the trap and next thing you know we have a puppet for our president - ie- BUSH. Obama is another puppet, as he is part of the CFR.
Please people, before you truly decide on a candidate, research the issues and the candidates solutions.
RON PAUL 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NO WAY!!! RON PAUL has my VOTE!!!!
if Obama were white would she be so supportive of him?
she had bill clinton on her show last week. didnt make sense.
um, NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vote for what..?
Re: en par – en par:
you sound so intelligent and your posts seem so grammatically correct. (please note there is thick sarcasm dripping off of my every word) Please enlighten us "dim witted" readers. since you seem to know so much, please tell us about life, ourselves and US history. We anxiously await the life changing lessons you will impart.
I take notice to what Oprah says but think for myself.
