Backlash? That may be, but I do not think Obama would have gotten the bounce he did without her support.

Also the number of threads and views are not that big a deal over the time.

Another said: "Do you really know Barack Hussein Obama?

Only a conservative would refer to the Hussein in his name.

I don’t mind one bit that Obama is upsetting Clinton’s presumed coronation, but I otherwise don’t have a dog in this fight. Oprah and Obama barely register on my daily radar.

Still, if I were an Oprah fan (gag!), I would now think less of her for having whored herself out like this. Not saying a TV personality can’t have an opinion, but why would someone with a broad audience want to alienate a huge segment, like some actors and singers do when they make partisan statements that alienate their entire Republican fan base? Just doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Perhaps Orpah (her birth name) should consider giving away cars at the rallies........

Obama was doing just fine before Oprah jumped in. IMO she helped a little. I don’t see her as a big king-maker, and that’s exactly what they are trying to play her off as.

IMO, she’s as big a liability as an asset here.

I respect Oprah for choosing Obama over Hillary. Oprah’s audience annoys me more than Oprah herself does. If all these people need Oprah to tell them what to buy, or how to actually pick up a book and read it, why shouldn’t she make money off them?

I haven’t been able to stomach Oprah for years. I never will forget when I was channel surfing about 8 years ago and happened upon the show about Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings’ decendants and how she made the white audience members stand up and apologize for slavery.

And Chuck facial hair reminds me of monkey butts.

Lemme see here:

“The popular TV personality helps Barack Obama draw big crowds while her fans fume”

B.S. meter! Sounds like a clinton buttlicker over at the L.A SLIMES doing some damage control for the SHE-DEVIL! We all knew the stage was being set after the disastrous weeks the BEAST666 was having! THE COMEBACK KID? I think not! It's all a wet illusion by the mediaWHORES!

I think she's causing more of a backlash against herself than against Obama. Still, her endorsement hasn't had benefited Obama nearly as much as one might expect, given her popularity.

I, for one, am pleasantly surprised that even Democrat voters haven't entirely bought into the Cult of Oprah.

When people listen to Rush, they are sycophants of the lowest order. Yet, when they listen to Oprah, they are “enlightened.” Maybe some of the veneer will rub off of both Oprah and Barak as people begin to think for themselves. As admirable as Oprah’s life is in her rise to fame and fortune, her cult of personality, or anyone’s for that matter, is rarely a positive thing in national politics.

Oprah is a BIG NOTHING!!!! Lots of dumb-dumbs (mostly women) let her tell them which books to read and which movies to see.

But only a super dumb-dumb would let Oprah tell them whom to vote for for President, especially if it's Barack Saddam Hussein Bin Laden Obama!!!!

Obama is a stealth New World Order liberal-interventionist candidate of the type that brought is the "Kosovo war". This is clearly seen by his choice of foreign policy advisior, the Harvard "human rightser" genocide queen and arch-Serbophobe Samantha Power. Obama is also a good buddy of the anti-Serb liberal interventionist Joe Leiberman, and both are in with the Council on Foreign Relations imperialist crowd.

So when Oprah and Obama say that Obama is the candidate that "can bring us together", don't believe it. As with electing the openly monstrous liberal-imperialist Hillary, electing the stealth candidate Obama will only bring us more wars and other interventions on behalf of islamic conquest, and above all on behalf of the NWO elite.

Since Oprah was beknighted by the media as “Lady O,” does that make him “Sir O”?
