“Why do you think she’s telling about it now?”

That is the question. One reason is because of Obama, but then again she may be trying to damage Republicans, but that isn’t going to work in this case.

Why do you think?

Why do you think?

I think it's fairly obvious, she want to sell her autobiography. From the article -

Walters is the guest of Oprah Winfrey to discuss her new memoir, "Audition," which covers her long career in television, as well as her off-camera life.

Although her motives might go deeper than that, I doubt it. I don't believe she would actively try to hurt Obama, she's in the tank for him. As for the Republican angle, it also doesnt play well to remind America that Democrats don't have the market cornered when it comes to African Americans. They try to show that Condoleeza and Colin Powell are anomalies, Edward Brooke shows that they aren't and that they are part of a long history that dates all the way back to Lincoln. No, I think she's doing it simply to sell books.
