Oprah Backs Obama -- Will It Help or Hurt?

31. ((Heheh Yuck!!)) Anywhooo...I really hope she DID do her homework on her choice this time. Especially since she chose color over gender. It'll be interesting to see her points.

32. The bottom line at the end of the day is....MAKE YOUR OWN CHOICES! Oprah has the right to endorse anyone she see's fit, that her choice. Just because you watch her show doesn't mean you should follow her like a cult leader. I do however find it funny that some of you are calling Oprah of all people racist. Maybe I’ve been blinded because I don't see it… her audience is 98% white, she associates with every race & gender possible and yes she built a school in SA and IT HAS WHITE STUDENTS TOO! Some of you just want to have a complaint about something, ok she backed a candidate that she likes & he's black. If she had of backed Hilary then you would have said its because she's a woman, or Edward because she likes white people...If Oprah can influence you to do, wear, read, eat, and support everything she does then you need to go get help buy a backbone and stop being an IDIOT. Do your own research and make your own decisions.

33. Gee, the first candidate Oprah is actually campaigning for...and he is black, what a coincidence...let me tell you all something, and I hope Oprah reads this...she is a racist...she does not like white people unless they are her subordinates...she likes having "white" people on her payroll...I read a quote of her saying something to that affect...her show is SO boring now! I used to watch it and once in awhile I will turn it on...but after about ten minutes I am so uninterested...I mean, does everything she does have to be SO self serving? She is very out of touch and I think there is going to be a lot of stuff coming out about her over the next few years...Obama is not a winning ticket...she is backing him b/c of the color of his skin and noone can convince me otherwise.

35. I am a registered voter in the great state of Iowa, here's what I see.. Lots of women here respect Oprah. They watch her faithfully everyday. Yes, here she might sway a few women voters. However bigger news here is Obama not putting his hand on his heart for the pledge of allegence, not standing up for our national anthem, and refusing to wear the 9/11 pin along with inexperience. I think Clinton will take Iowa for the Dems, but for the Reps, lots of Huckabee signs all over the place...Oh, one other thing. Alot of people will turn out to see Oprah here... notice I said Oprah , not Obama

37. If Obama and Oprah got their rich asses shot at by an illegal alien gang banger they might not be so quick to give them all amnesty.

38. Look at Oprah's picks. She had George Bush on her show before the election. She hand picked the staff at her school in Africa (The school of abuse). She picked Dr Adams to promote on national TV. (Dr. DONDA WEST, RIP)
(FAT Dr. Phil diet Guru, I want my money back ! ) A million pieces of lies. Now Oprah Winfrey is finally supporting the black community in the USA. Of course the sheep want to drink the Oprah's Koo-Aid. Too late. She has been exposed as a very bad picker ! We can not afford to choose our future president on Oprah's endorsement....

39. OPRAH SAID HER HAVING GEORGE BUSH ON HER SHOW DID MORE FOR HIS BEING ELECTED TO THE PRESIDENCY THAN ANY CHECK SHE COULD HAVE WRITTEN TO HIS CAMPAIGN. She said it...she did.
Obama's wife was asked about their life. She said the children come and get in bed with she and her husband Barack in the morning. The interviewer asked what they talk about. She said her children don't like to get near Barack in the bed, because they say he smells bad. Then she went on to tell the interviewer that she and her children talk about all kinds of things like having your period, etc. Too much info. During the debate, Obama was pathetic. He kept fumbling over his words. As if to not keep his thoughts straight...he was lost. I had been a Hillary supporter, UNTIL, John Edwards brought up that NAFTA had seriously damaged our economy. IT HAS. Can't believe it took this long for someone to mention it..way to go JOHN EDWARDS. Bill Clinton, who I liked, is the one that signed the NAFTA TREATY (North American Free Trade Agreement). First time BC ran, I voted for Ross Perot. Mr. Perot said as soon as BC is elected, he will sign into effect NAFTA and it will destroy our American economy. He was right. When JE brought it up to Hillary in debate. She was extremely uncomfortable for the first time. Ah hah...she admitted it was a big mistake and said they were going to work on reversing it.

40. This lady's judgment is horrible! Every guy she backs are nuts or losers(ig 1000 pieces and Dr. butcher) let's not forget the south Africa child molester. Are you kidding me? Besides, I don't get much of anything oprah has ever plug on her show! She moved into fake world 10 years ago and been living there ever since!

41. Oprah's many recent faux pas have forever tarnished her reputation. Fake book guy, bad doctor guy.... Who really checks things out for themselves these days. I'm convinced there are really only 12 real reporters left in the world, but that's a whole other discussion.

I predict more Oprahgates in the future. She's lost touch. And hey, TMZ, HELPS OR HURT who?? Finish your sentences, please.

My opinion: This endorsemen might help Obama but it will NOT help Oprah.

42. She needs to remain a talk show host who is supposedly "unbias" and interview movie stars and other celebrities and stay out of politics!

43. The RACIST oprah of course she's for obama a black muslum candidate.

44. ~sign~ Let's say this one more time...BARAKA OBAMA IS NOT A MUSLIM! His father is African (not all Africans are Muslim) and his mother is a white woman from Kansas (or some Midwest state).

I think Oprah will hurt Baraka because while white people don't mind Oprah recommending books or talking about her child abuse (which that story has changed and expanded over the years), they are okay with it. But when it comes to politics, they don't like black people telling them what to do.

Also, there will be alot of black so-called leaders underminding Obama also. Jesse Jackson is pissed off that Baraka is going places that he could never get to. Jackson, arrogant bastard that he is, always felt he should have been more involved in politics and in a higher office. But that baby-mamma drama brought him down.

I'm telling you, Baraka will not do as well in Iowa as people think. John Edwards and even a dark horse will do better than him. And Hillary will win, but not a strong win. She is going to struggle in the campaign.

45. Well, let's look at her track record. She has backed a bald headed idiot that calls himself a psychologist, who is nothing more than a sham, egotistical TV pop-psychobabbler. Then she backed a plastic surgeon who wound up murdering Kanye West's mother. To top that off, she started a school in South Africa that includes sexually molesting its students in its curriculum. Yeah, go for it--back Osama, Obama, Yomama or whatever his Godless name is.
