What a ridiculous thing to say.
I watched a portion of the rambling performance by Barak Hussein Obama. It would be very tough to call it a speech. It sort of sounded like they took a page from John Edwards pity the poor take from the rich playbook. My main interest in watching was to estimate what kind of turnout they had. Unfortunately I found myself distracted trying to decide who had a bigger ass Oprah or Michelle. Both nearly blocked out the whole crowd. How many brainwashed white women watch queen Oprah anyway.
Forgive my very un-PC observation, but this is simply a case of one black supporting another. Yes, Oprah has a very large audience but even most of her viewers aren’t so imbecilic that they’d follow her political propaganda - not because they’re intelligent and astute observers of the political scene - but because most of them just want to be entertained without having to think too much about anything very seriously for a couple of hours.
Funny.
Ever seen her without her makeup? Yeesh!
I read someplace that it takes a 15-person team to do her hair and makeup for each show taping.
I really have no opinion about Oprah, other than an ‘I find her annoying because she just won’t go away’ type of thing.
What I would like to know is, has she done this kind of campaigning in the past for any white candidates, or is she a racist?
Oprah is to be congratulated on the realization that Hillary is not fit for office.
On the other hand, considering her choice of characters to run her schools in Africa, I don’t think her personal evaluation skills are good enough to serve as a beacon for others in voting for ANY candidate.
Aside from the fact that Obama is black, she is black, he is a liberal Dem and so is Oprah, what relevation about Obama has she released?
I can’t stand these entertainment figured going around endorsing candidates for office and expecting rational thinking people to accept their assessments.
If I wanted advice on how to run a successful TV show with spin-off businesses, I might consult Oprah. If I wanted to select the next President of the United States, I would look at the candidate’s experience, character and position on the issues, and that would rule out ALL the Democrats.
The Lord works in mysterious ways. He just might be splitting the votes so neither can win. He is the great Orchestrator, after all.
I don’t think Oprah is a racist , but she is inserting herself into this campaign to make sure that Barry O isn’t discounted because of his race .
Oprah is smart enough to know that any racist attacks will indeed be clandestinely originated from Hillary , and Oprah is going to do her part to make sure that Barry O has a fighting chance.
This is actually shaping up to be Oprah vs. Hillary ....The results will be quite telling as to which woman really wields the power stick ....
What happened to representing Illinois, Senator?
Hillary’s in trouble. I don’t think it matters much what Oprah thinks, but she’s helping Obama dominate several days of an important news cycle with positive stories. Seems like the more Dems pay attention to Obama the better he does.
I don’t think Hillary’s cunning and dirty tricks are enough to overcome the fact that he’s a likable guy and she’s the wicked witch of the east. Or that he’s smarter than her (top of the class at Harvard Law, professor of Constitutional Law... versus some lady who tied the knot with the right guy). She’s a known quantity with nowhere to go in the polls but down. He’s still rising. We’re gonna have trouble winning independents if he’s their nom...
Not all successful blacks live in the US. Quite a few are raping the wealth of their nations’ in Africa...
...no I wouldn’t consider them successful either, but they have certainly looted the treasury to personal gain.
Why is it ridiculous?
Just plain self-guilt doesn't entirely hack it for me. Something else consumes these unstable creatures.

Now the question is , do we want to face Obama or Hillary in the general ? Who would be easier to beat ....Wrong question. Because the answer is: they should both be equally easy for us to beat, provided we don't blow it by nominating Huckabee, who is the only Republican who is sure to lose to no matter who the rats run, even Kucinich.
