Oprah Backs Obama -- Will It Help or Hurt?

46. 41. 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.

Yo Orka, George Bush did not win either elections, they were stolen and given to him by the Supreme Court. In 2000, they stole the votes in Florida and 2004, in Ohio. Oprah had NOTHING to do with Bush winning. Karl Rove and the rest of the Bush Crime Family made sure that Georgie Boy would get back into office.

Oprah doesn't have as much influence as you want to give her...it's all about publicity and hype. She's more bark than bite.

47. She backs him because he is Black. Not because he is the best candidate. How intelligent of her..........

48. okay may I say to all of the white people making comments....realize that you know nothing about black people. You have this mentality that tells you that just because obama is black, opra supports him. If you would take the time to look at what he stands for, maybe you would have a less racist understanding of opra's choice. And be aware that because we as african americans are only 12% of the population we need someone in office that has enough power to eliminate the prejudice and discrimination that comes from whites (yeah it had to be said). reparations will never be enough.

Also realize that obama supports all people of color! that includes native americans and latinos.

don't be so quick to pass judjment until you see it from all sides

50. As anyone ever noticed how OPRAH seems to be the approved venue for all Scientology celebs. Like Lisa Marie Presley, 'Cilla Presley, John Travolta, Kelly Preston, Kirsty Alley, Tom Cruise, Poor Nicole(non Scientologist)Former Cruise, let's see, I'm sure I could name more. You don't see these people on other shows, just Oprah. Wonder why, don't you???

51. Obama IS a muslim, never converted to Christianity.

Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama Sr. (black muslim) of Nyangoma-Kogelo, Siaya District, Kenya, and Ann Dunham of Wichita, Kansas. (white atheist ).

When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced and his father returned to Kenya. His mother married Lolo Soetoro -- a Muslim -- moving to Jakarta with Obama when he was six years old. Within six months he had learned to speak the Indonesian language. Obama spent "two years in a Muslim school, then two more in a Catholic school" in Jakarta. Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim while admitting that he was once a Muslim, mitigating that damning information by saying that, for two years, he also attended a Catholic school.

Obama's father, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. was a radical Muslim who migrated from Kenya to Jakarta, Indonesia. He met Obama's mother, Ann Dunham-a white atheist from Wichita, Kansas-at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Obama, Sr. and Dunham divorced when Barack, Jr. was two.

Obama's spinmeisters are now attempting to make it appear that Obama's introduction to Islam came from his father and that influence was temporary at best.

In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya immediately following the divorce and never again had any direct influence over his son's education.

Dunham married another Muslim, Lolo Soetoro who educated his stepson as a good Muslim by enrolling him in one of Jakarta's Wahabbi schools. Wahabbism is the radical teaching that created the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad on the industrialized world.

Since it is politically expedient to be a Christian when you are seeking political office in the United States, Obama joined the United Church of Christ to help purge any notion that he is still a Muslim.

Handsome . . . Charming . . . Winsome . . . Dangerous . . . Deceptive . . . Determined

56. just because he never converted to another religion doesn't mean that he still participates in he previous faith. and it really doesn't matter because bush-the idiot is a christian. so shove all that BS

57. OMG HERE WE GO AGAIN...I DON'T THINK THAT OBAMA CAN WIN THE MOST POWERFUL JOB IN THE COUNTRY BECAUSE HE IS BLACK. THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN(NOT HIS ABILITY) WILL DEFEAT HIM...I WOULD VOTE FOR HIM BUT IT WOULD BE A WASTED VOTE HE WOULD BE ASSASINATED ON ELECTION NIGHT. I DON'T THINK THAT OPRAH IS A RACIST (LOOKING OUT FOR THE GIRLS IN AFRICA...IS BONO A RACIST?)
I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE JOHN EDWARDS WIN THE NOMINATION BUT SHREK WOULD WAKE A BETTER CHIEF THAN THAT RETARD THAT HOLDS THE OFFICE NOW
DON'T HATE ON OPRAH YALL(DON'T HATE THE PLAYER..HATE THE GAME)

58. What some of you are forgetting is that Oprah had George Bush on one show and had Al Gore on another. She didn't just have one of the candiates...she had both!

I really don't think Obama or Hilary stand a chance but it should be fun to watch them try ;)

59. Greg Smith, you are an idiot. How insulting to black people. Like they should vote for Obama b/c Oprah is backing him and he's black. I'm sure they can think for themselves and pick the best candidate all on their own without Oprah's help. You probably can't, based on your witty comments about the Dog, Britney Spears, and George Bush. I'm so sick of people bad mouthing the President. Especially people who are clueless and never have any facts, just hating the President b/c they hear it on TV. I would never vote for President Bush again(if i could) b/c he spends like a liberal democrat. I do admire him for keeping us safe for the past 7 years. I have hope that people really just don't vote based on race or sex. And Greg Smith, Dog the Bounty Hunter has more class and compassion in his mullet than you do in your whole body.

60. Let's face it...we would all be better off with a liberal republican than a democrat at this point...we cannot afford it! Our ecomony is a mess and we need someone to come in who is capable of helping the american people climb out of this hole. A democratic president is going to kill us with taxes and allow illegal aliens more rights and financial relief than the legal citizens of this country....they will most likely cut our defense budget as well to give money and health care to these illegal immigrants. You think your school taxes are high now? I just pray we get someone in there capable because it's scary living paycheck to paycheck and last I checked..I know very few people with a savings account these days.
