I think in the end, a lot of Oprah's viewers will be turned off by this.

Oprah is just another celebrity leftist, willing to sell her soul to an empty suit.

Who knows how many but one thing for sure is it will be more than Barbra and Chelsea deliver for Hillary.

Anybody retarded enough to watch Oprah is a possible Hussein voter.

That being said, who had the right to vote when the founding fathers set up the US?

Small wonder why the USA wil be destroyed from within.

I’m not surprised by anything anymore.

America is definitely ready for a black president or a female president. But they would prefer a black male president to a white female. And mark my words, the first black president will be a conservative. Americans are not going to climb on board the bandwagon of a liberal black. They would be uncomfortable with all the liberal racial baggage a liberal black would bring to the White House.

I think Americans would elect Colin Powell (let us say) in a heartbeat. Please don’t take that to mean that I think in any way that Colin Powell is conservative enough to be president, just that I believe America would elect him in the vastly unlikely event that he were to run. It is only an example of my contention that race will have nothing to do with Obama’s eventual defeat, just liberalism.

The more Obama is identified with Oprah (the entertainment and the religion), the less presidentiable he looks. His campaign is starting to look like an Oprah book tour and seminar...

Obama: " "My presence here today is unlikely just like Oprah is unlikely. We share that in common."
Oprah:"(What are you talking about, Willis?)"

Oprah can’t deliver the votes in a National Election but in Iowa and maybe New Hampshire she can help sink Hillary for the short term.

Oprah doesn’t normally get involved in politics to this extent and I think it will have a far greater impact than most people think .

It will definately benefit Barry O , and it might be the factor that pushes Barry O to the top. This is the worst possible development for Hillary , as Oprah will peel off a great number of crucial female voters from Hillary .

Now the question is , do we want to face Obama or Hillary in the general ? Who would be easier to beat ....

Let’s not underestimate the Oprah factor ....i’m not ...

Obama is Oprah’s “boy.” This endorsement has nothing to do with qualifications...it’s strictly race motivated.

Anything to make the Beast not walk away with the nomination is fine with me. Obama is an empty suit so I’d much rather run against him than the Clinton machine.

He would be far harder to demonize .....Maybe we don’t want to have to face him ..... Everyone knows Hillary is evil , but Barry O could and would play the race card , which is far worse than the chauvinist card ....
