The melding of celebrity and Democratic politics is powerful with the low information voter. It’s amazing that somebody as political as Obama would allow anything personal to affect a political tool he can use to reach millions of voters.
On the other hand, did Oprah damage herself by supporting the Obamas? That’s hard to see since her audience is probably 99.9% low information voters. For her part, although Obama didn’t come through with his part of the bargain it seems Oprah would still benefit from maintaining her part of the relationship.
How small minded and low class of Michelle not to play along and make nice with somebody who can bring in the votes for Democrats.
Heck ya... How many Millions of her net worth evaporated after Conservative Women stopped watching, after she endorsed Da-Wone and she started her own network to try to get around those losses ( IMHO they watched because let's face it is was a women's show 1st and for-most ) How many Conservative Women did she loose by not having Sarah Palin on ( She refused ) in the Fall of 08' only to have her on after the election and then she was snarky as all H@!! to boot to Sarah?
