Oprah Winfrey, one of Barack Obama’s most potent allies in 2008, is ready for Round Two.
Winfrey, who is beginning a new chapter in life following the sunset of her monster-hit show, told POLITICO she would be “happy to be of service” to Obama for his reelection campaign.
“I supported Barack Obama in 2008 because I believed then as I do now that he is the right man for the job,” Winfrey said in a statement. “I wanted to share my enthusiasm for his candidacy in hopes that others would see what I saw in him.”
“As for 2012,” Winfrey added, “If the campaign needs me, I’m happy to be of service. I’m in his corner for whatever he needs me to do.”
Since Obama’s inauguration, Winfrey hadn’t publicly declared her intent to campaign for his reelection, even when he and first lady Michelle Obama taped an episode of the “Oprah Winfrey Show” near the end of its final season.
Though Winfrey’s media domain no longer includes her hit show with its audience of millions, some analysts say she could be an even more potent force in Obama’s reelection because she can focus on his record rather than his potential. Those analysts say she could boost his appeal with Democratic women, particularly white, working-class women.
“One of the biggest problems that the administration has right now is communicating to women that they are in touch with women’s lives, and particularly downscale women’s economic lives,” Democratic pollster Celinda Lake said. “Oprah has a 25-year career communicating that. In some ways she can be even more influential in saying ‘Hey listen, this is what this administration has done. I’ve never lied to you. They are in touch with your lives as I have always been.’”

I'll bet.
Oprah can smooch a donkey’s bum.
What a selfish, out of touch, stupid woman. She could care less about all the suffering out there.
Useful idiot.
The only thing this administration is “in touch” with is RE-ELECTION! He doesn’t give a shit about women. He doesn’t give a shit about Oprah (except how she can get him elected). He doesn’t give a shit how fat Oprah is/gets (your honor - the prosecution would like to submit pictures of the FLOTUS ass). He doesn’t give one hairy assed shit about anything except for his own ass.
she wants to be friends with him because:
according to him, as a millionaire she does not pay her fair share in taxes;
according to him, as a billionaire she does not pay her fair share in taxes;
according to him, as a millionaire and billionaire she is a corporate jet owner;
according to him, her corporation can afford to hire more people, she just won’t cause she wants to hold on to her money.
yep, sounds like a friendship worth having.
... and according to Mrs. Obie, Okra needs to move.
Two people who’s net contribution to the world have negative signs in front
Oprah is an example of why america is too stupid to survive
She is one of the few people in America who can afford an Obama second term.
Oprah’s big wish is Obama reelection
And my big wish is for them both to go away.
Not gonna happen after the stock market crash of August 4, 2011!!!
This is a bit of a “DUH,” don’t you think, oh vowel deprived FRiend?
:^)
America: a country so great even a blithering idiot can become a multi-millionaire.
Of course by selling crap to millions of other blithering idiots.
My wish is that both Oprah and the AnointedIdiot take their collective progressivism and shove it up their collective arse on national TV. =.=
Amen to that!
LOL - let us know how that works out for you, Oprah.
