We shouldn’t forget Okra’s treatment of Palin either. Moochelle and Barrick were given all the air time they wanted while Sarah wasn’t allowed one second on her show.

I don’t understand why anyone would be surprised that Oprah decided to back Obama.

Qualified? No! Incompetent? Yes!

Clinton has been a lousy SoS. Please list for me even ONE substantial accomplishment during her tenure?

The Northern Med is in chaos. Syria is committing mass atrocities on its people daily. Iran continues to build nukes. The list is long & ugly. I don't believe I have seen a weaker, more inept SoS.

If HRC is “highly qualified” at anything, it is domestic cronyism & corruption. Her highest qualification, IMO, is to wear a striped suit & make license plates, behind bars.

very rarely do I read a complete post, usually just peruse to get the jist of the article, but this was GREAT. I read every word and totally agree. I never was an Oprah worshipper but usually enjoyed segments of her show if I walked by the tv when it was on, when she went new Age and obamanic I said NO MORE if any magazine has her picture or her name related to any article it won’t come into my house and when she denied the viewers of Sarah Palin to come on her show before the election I was sharing with my friends she was a racist bigot and a new ager and spreading the word as fast as I could, many didn’t know but they do now!
Goodbye Oprah and Obama!

John Edwards, eh? Cute, very cute.

I really don’t know who it will be, but Hillary has said several times that this is it for her in politics. And her husband gets to do what he really likes, gladhanding and making speeches. But none of the responsibility that goes along with actually holding an political office.

I cannot believe that women all over this country are not up in arms over Oprah’s backing of Obama. For the first time in history we actually have a shot at putting a woman in the white house and Oprah backs the black MAN. She’s choosing her race over her gender — hypocrisy at it’s finest!!

I find it appalling that almost all liberals see the voting decision exactly as presented - do you vote based on genitals or based on skin color. The idea of judging a candidate based on accomplishments, character, values, and positions on the issues doesn't even cross their minds. Politics is tribal - it's about voting group identity to shallow voters. So long as their group identity twin has the (D) after their name, they don't even consider political positions, and they never care about character except as a weapon to use against those with an (R) after their name.

Many conservatives are just the opposite. We were happy to support Cain, Jindal, and West, not because they are non-white but because they are capable leaders who believe in limited government. We were comfortable with Bachmann as our nominee because of her positions on the issues, not because of her sex. We were thrilled with Governor Sarah Palin because of her accomplishments. And we would have been happy to go with Perry, Santorum, or DeMint, but completely indifferent to the fact that they were white men. The way we choose among these options is not with an identify group checklist but by evaluating political positions, accomplishments, and character, and weighing the relative importance of each factor.

If the endorsement choices are Hillary v. Barack - who cares? She could have chosen Hillary and had angry viewers declare that she had “chosen her female identity over her black one”. We should leave such nonsense to the lefties to fight over (as they certainly will).

Well, they’re sort of stuck, aren’t they?

It’s often stated that the Democrat Party is a criminal enterprise, and it looks like there are two major “families” vying for control. The Arkansas and Chicago mobs. The Clinton’s (Bubba specifically) had a hammerlock on the Party when they ran the show. Hillary was important then, but she didn’t have any of Bill’s likability and charisma.

Party control went to Obama and the Chi-town goons back in 2008. Partially because they were so ruthless about destroying anyone who got in their way, but also — once again — because Hillary is personally about as likable as a snake.

Now that Obama seems to be losing, Hillary looks like the only choice — and you can bet every last peso, dollar, yen or ruble you can beg borrow or steal that she’s not going to let anyone else get chosen.

Would she be easier to beat than Obama? I really don’t see that much difference between the two of them. But one thing is definitely sure, if Hillary is going to try, she has to try this time around.

If the Republicans win in November, you will not see another Democrat president in your lifetime.

I remember she would not interview Sarah until after the election and it was a big ratings day for her
