Oprah to Stump for Obama in California

They need to tone down the religious revival feeling of the events this time. I started to watch the one in SC last month and it turned me off because it felt like a sermon on high. It was the beginning of the end for any support of Obama from me during the primaries. I’m voting for Hillary Clinton – substance over media pep-rallies and hype.

You go, girl, Miss O!
Every American awake today will be jumping on the Obama wagon, which is carrying America’s future to a truly better place.
Mary, if the Black faces of the energized Americans at the South Carolina rallies turn you off, then those faces in the Mid-West may be better suited to your prejudice eyes. Either place, Senator Obama doesn’t mind; and he no doubt understand your unease.
That is one reason Obama is seeking to be President: He will remove centuries of American ignorance, fear and ill will through education of one form or another.

It is so great that someone can say, “my being in support of Barack Obama is not my being against Hillary Clinton.” This is true for many Democrats. We are not against Hillary at all. We just love Obama and feel that he is the right person at this moment in time.

To Denise James:
Oprah’s abusing it because she’s not supporting your candidate? Come on…be real and honest.

Oprah for VP. Now, that would be hilarious. What an odd couple–Obama, Oprah, and Caroline. Makes Obama look awfully weak. Do these expect women to change their hearts and minds? I don’t think so; Florida showed women favor Hillary strongly. As I white male, I join with the sisterhood in supporting Hillary as the next President of the U.S. of America. On victory Super Tuesday and Hillary for President.

Gobama: I read Mary’s statement and I did not read any thing about race. Where did you read that? And Obama is not running for president to change America he is running to change history. From a white president to a black president. Everyone is not smart enough to read between the lines. I believe Hillary will win the nomination and go on to campaign for the presidency.

man, man, man……. I didn’t know there are too many dumb people in the so-called greatest country in the world. What is wrong in Oprah supporting Barack just like any citizen of this country will support any candidate of their choice. Get over yourselves people and help in making the world be a better place for one and all…

I am disappointed in Oprah…I have watched her for years…Be honest Oprah
Winfrey…You are voting for Obama because he is black…And for those who think I am being racial,I have been in
a relationship with a black woman for 12years…Thats right we are voting for
Hillary…I hope someone will buy me a house,I Hope someone will give me a million dollars…hope…hope…hope…..Take your ### to work….Hillary Clinton works…she does not hope…What do you hope for America …Lets ask Oprah…Maybe she will give her money away…As much as we hope she would I DOUGHT SHE WILL NOT…hope on OPRAH AND OBAMA…WINFERY-PRESIDENT OBAMA HOPES TO BE HER VICE PRESIDENT…

Well glad Oprah can get out of the cold of Chicago to the warmth of California, unlike those tennants Obama’s friend and political patron Rezko let freeze a few years back claiming he had no money to pay for heating his slums while at the same time they were freezing he was providing Obama campaign funds!
Go Oprah! You make us all proud to see you drop even lower in TV ratings and hopefully off the air with your friend Dr. Phil!
If u understand why there is night and day then you wouldn’t worry about Oprah’s TV ratings. Just like how you are not guaranteed the next second of breathe you gonna take

Oprah has the right to stand up for the candidate she believes is the best at this time for our country, just anyone else.
I’m a 65 year old grandmother who happens to be white and I’m darn proud to volunteer to get out the vote for Obama in my state.
I look at Obama and don’t see a black man – what I do see is a man who embodies the inspiration, hope and innnate intelligence – who can bring this country together.

Mariann…did you hear Hillary at the debate last night when they asked her about change? She said “a woman in the White House would be change”. If that’s the only change she’s promising then I’m sticking with Obama–for REAL CHANGE!

I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING YOUR CAMPAIGN FOR DEMOCRATS AND SOME COMMENTS FROM THE SUPORTERS OF EACH CANDIDENT. HOWEVER, AMERICANS SHOULD LAERN WHAT BUSH DID YOUR NATION, WARS, RECESSN, ENERMIES ALL OVER THE WORLD. THIS TIME MAKE A GOOD CHOICE. CHOOSE SEN BARAK OBAMA TO BRING BACK YOU’RE IMAGE. THIS IS A REAL CANDIDENT WITH ENERGY, SMART UP-STAIRS AND VERY EDUCATED. FROM LONDON UK.

I used to like and admire Oprah, and would even defend her against the blacks at work who say that she is a sell-out for American schools and girls because she chose to build an education academy in South Africa. Now, I feel that she has sold out Professional women and women in general by supporting Obama. Wonder how much money she is pumping into his campaign?

Of course she is. Oprah makes my family and I sick. She lied for years about caring about womens issues. When she only cares about her color. I can’t count how many times she has been asked why are you supporting Obama and she has never spoken about the issues. What will Obama do for America? She only cares about his color. And the quote that is so telling of Oprah, “To tell him he should wait feels racist.” She thinks Americans should not question his experience. That it is racist to do so. How dare her. She is the one that is racist.
And what does Obama think this adds to his campaign? It takes away women, men and the white vote. All of this is sickening.

Bill turned me off for Hillary with his half-truths. I have been for Obama since. As Benjamin Franklin said: ‘A HALF TRUTH, IS A BIG LIE.’

Who in the he!! are we electing? Oprah, Caroline or Teddy Kennedy. I have never seen anyone relie so heavily on others.
He reminds me so much of Bush. He has no idea what he is doing. And America is going to pay big time if he gets in office. And God knows we can’t afford another Bush.

I cant belived that Oprah is backing
OBAMA Have anyone ever heard him SAY GOD BLESS AMERICAN NO WAKE UP AMERCIAM DONT LET OPRAH TELL YOU WHO TO VOTE FOR . SHE CANT EVEN PICK THE PERSON TO RUN HER SCHOOL IN AFRICAN. SO DO YOU REALY TRUST HER TO HELP PICK A pRESIDENT. THINK ABOUT IT AMERICAN

Don’t forget the last man that said he would bring people together and work across the aisle is in the Whitehouse now. So much for change.

About time! I was beginning to think Oprah was a Sunshine Soldier – leaving the battlefield when the fight got tough. I’m glad she’s sticking it out until the end. Love her for it. I just heard on Kieth Oberman that Hillary lied last night about the resolution giving the U.N. power to override the U.S. She and Bill will do anything to get elected. I hope the voters open their eyes in time to elect the right man.

Oprah Winfrey has every right under God’s earth to do whatever she wants, whenever she wants. She is a US citizen with a voice, just like any other citizen who wants to volunteer their time for the candidate of their choice. Having a Black man run for the highest office has succeeded in bringing out the most racist and prejudice comments I have ever witnessed. Most of you were probably fine with Oprah when she endorsed anything and everything of your liking; but the minute she goes against your views, the ugliness rears its’ ugly head.

Senator Obama said he’ll surround himself with people of integrity who are able to say no to him. That is the mark of a leader.
Yes, indeedy, Oprah is a shining example of a person of dignity and so is the big time loser kennedy.
Ha

When payback time comes – what will Oprah demand from Obama? Maybe Secretary of Education? For Caroline – how about ambassador to Great Britain like her grandfather? And Ted? Some political clout for the Kennedy clan that will last them for the nth generations to come?

oprah can stump where ever she wants. She will not make a big difference. She is only a talk show host. And a book pusher….greg

For the guy by the name of TOM who posted a silly remark. First let me start by saying that Im a white male who is supporting Borack Obama, My brothers 3 of them are White and they are also supporting Obama. The facts are that Borack has received mojor support both from white males and white voters period. Lets be realistic he will not be in the last two position unless he received the white votes, so dont lie to yourself. The other issue that needs clarification is that the majority of the white vote were mostly middle class white folks with a high level of education..Folks making more than 50,000 a year and Folks with a higher education levels. In fact Hillary voters were less disavantege and not as educated and that is a fact. Not to say that he is not a president who will fight for all, in fact he will. Hillary lost so many votes, specially when she flip flops the issue about Iraq…Will all know Bill cant be trusted, imagine Hillary. In regards to Oprah!! Eventhough Im not a big fan of day-time Tv, she has the right to support who she wants. If she was to go with a white person no one will say a darn thing!!! So lets leave that issue alone. Oprah has lots of power and is well respected specially among Women. I hope the people who are in the minority look deep inside and stop wasting your energy in being a racist!!! My friend times have change and you need to accept that and move on. AMERICA is not just white is a multy color land. Racisms is a nasty desease that needs to be radicated. Spend your energy educating your children read a book, spend quality time together, teach them to love one onother.

I have alway admired brave people. Oprah is indeed a brave person for exposing herself to the ridicule that some are anxious to send her way. Brave people are those who take risk when they do not have too. They put our “Country” at the forefront of the actions they take and they speak their beleifs in a way they are heard. I do not believe for one minute that Oprah Winfrey would support Obama if she did not feel he was the person at this time to lead our country. She has every thing to loose by doing what she is doing and very little to gain. After all from reading some of the post she has already lost some of you.

Scoprag! you nailed it on top already what more can i say cause it’s obvious these are all idotic air that came out of some people mouth they actually felt something sensible coming out. Probably they forgot americans should talk,breath,live & move freely without any problem whatsoever that’s why “FREEMDOM” was our foundation of the lovely country.

When Barack first became a candidate, I WAS EXCITED, but since I HAVE MY OWN brain, I’ve noticed that he’s MERELY about TALKING about “CHANGE”, INSTEAD of having DONE any (since being in the Senate)…WHY HAVEN’T YOU PICKED UP ON THIS?!?!?! I’m STILL waiting for you (or ANY OF YOUR CELEBRITY FRIENDS) to point out a SERIOUS, positive reason regarding why we should vote for him, BESIDES saying that he “makes people feel good”!!!

So you Hillary supporters are frustrated…Stop your “hating” Obama will be the endorsed candidate.

Hi, Why everybody was against Hillsry’s husband when he campigns for his wife. and no body against Ophra’s campaigning for mr. Obama. why can not we just let the candidates talk about their plans how they will do what they say they will do when get elected instead of all these celebreties come and swhow thei faces. Oprah is good for her business. But she should not interfere with this election business.That is my openion.
Franklin

When George Clooney votes for Barack Obama is he doing because Obama is black? When Caroline Kennedy and her aunts and uncle Ted and children vote for Obama, do they do it because he is black? When Senator Claire McCaskill votes for Obama, does she do it because he is black? When all of the other hundreds of thousands of white Iowans, New Hampshire voters, South Carolina voters support Obama, did they do it because Obama is black? If not, then why is it that when a black person supports Obama that it is only because he is black?

why all the hate about oprah supporting obama? she has a right to vote and support whoever she want. and the comments about how obama isn’t speaking on issues is a lie. what are those republican candidates talking about? they have yet to even rich out for the black vote, and that’s because they don’t care or want the black vote. those republican candidates are a real joke, i find it hard to listen to there speeches, they don’t make much sense to me

If anybody is intimidated by Oprahs decision to support her candidate, then such a person should re-examine his or herself.We are all one people Oprah or ordinary student helping out to support Obama.
This is a very important moment in our political history.I believe anybody should be free to stand up for what he believes in. Afterall that is what democracy is all about.
I am indeed proud of Oprah and she is great and real.

Don’t tell me it’s not about race. If it wasn’t about race Obama wouldn’t have gotten 80+% of the black vote in SC. If it wasn’t about race then Oprah would be doing what she always has which is staying home and keeping her mouth shut. It’s all about race. If it were white people who were this outspoken we’d be call rascist but when it’s black they are called an activist. Go figure………

Men think constructively, so Oprah thats why they are for Obama.
Women are thinking about gender and may be experience. But my dear women, experience has the value ONLY if it is accompanied by courage and leads to good judgement.

I am glad to see Oprah back on the campaign trail again with Michelle, you go Michelle, you’re doing a good job for your husband. All those who think Oprah should stay out of politics, well Hilary had her gang of women and her husband all over the country. I was forgetting who was running for president Hilary or Bill. What’s good for the goose is just as good for the gander. You go girls, people out here is Boston is watching.

Oprah’s support of a presidential candidate is unprecedented. As an independent who often sits on the fence and tries to winnow the claims made by each party when attempting to decide who to vote for, I too find myself in the unprecedented position of seeing the redeeming value behind a candidate’s message (Obama’s) and am in support of him. I highly respect Oprah since I can relate to her and her reasons for taking her stand, and feel that if other independent voters listen to what Oprah and, beyond her, Obama have to say, they will see progressivism and new hope being made manifest.

Im not an Obama supporter but its totally disingenous and dumb for Hillary supporters to fret about Oprah. Why is does skin color becomes the argument when a person of color endorses another but never a problem when a white person endorses another?
Again why is Magic Johnson, Charlie Rangel, Bob Johnson etc etc supporting Hillary not a problem but Oprah supporting Obama a problem?
This goes to underpin the notion that Hillary relies on the uneducated to get elected bc she can easily fool them to believe any rubbish she says. Can her supporters give me answers to my questions?

one more thing
I am so tired of hearing about Hillary Clinton’s experience! She voted for the Iraq war – period!!!!!!!!!!
The worst vote in the history of votes – look what this war has done:
1)thousands of lives lost
2)tens of thousands of wounded – most will never recover – brain injuries, p.t.s.d., limbs lost from the bombs set off at vehicles which didn’t have the proper equipment to protect them because our idiot President sent them off to war and then didn’t properly equip them (support our troops Mr President? yeah right!)
3)estimate this war will cost – 2 trillion dollars – can you even compute that number? we could have paid for every social program we have ever wanted.
If ANYONE thinks she voted for this war for any reason other than because she wanted to show voters she was strong enough to be commander in chief I have swamp land in Florida I want to sell you!! I think that is the worst part of this whole thing – maybe she thought the war would be “easy” (is there such a thing?) like the earlier war in Iraq – maybe she thought it would be over quickly with minimal lose of life. But everyone knows the vote was a political decision and nothing else. Watching her fumble the other night discussing Iraq shows this so clearly. She is so articulate discussing other issues and if not for that war I think this would have been a totally different race. That vote, her vote against the Levin amendment which she totally lied about the other night and the Iran vote all lead me to know she is not the person I want deciding about war and peace. Obama knows you have to be very careful deciding where and when to send our troops into war – do we attack countries which haven’t attacked us? What does that say to other countries about us? The way we have acted under our present occupier of the White House reminds me of the Russia we used to call the Evil Empire – we have BECOME the Evil Empire – I CAN’T WAIT FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!!

Opra is only being so active in this campaign because there is a black man running. Opra is racist and everyone knows it. She has made that very obvious she is no better than Jessie Jackson or Al Sharptin. Those are the three most racist people in the spotlight today. She needs to back a canidate for the stance he takes on issues, NOT BECAUSE HE IS BLACK

I support Obama. I will continue to support Obama. For several reasons. But now I will speak of one reason. Yes, they both would make good presidents. Yes, Hillary might make a great president. I believe Obama will Be a great president. I also believe that Michelle Obama, his wife, will be a great First Lady. I believe that Bill Clinton will be climbing the walls if he finds himself in the position of First Lady. Bill Clinton is a doer. Although the First Lady position is in no-way seen as being passive, it is a LOT slower than the president’s job. He likes to get into the real action of the White House. The foreign and domestic policies, communicating directly with foreign leaders, working with the pentagon, having dialog with both Senate and Congress. For Bill, the action president, the position of First Lady, or First Husband would seem too passive. So for now I will continue to support Obama, may the best candidate win the nomination.

One thing no one has been able to explain to me is this: If the Clintons did such an outstanding job during their 8 years in office, why did Gore lose the election? Oh, I know you’re all going to say it was because Bush stole it, etc. which is probably true. But it was so close. Shouldn’t it have been a landslide victory for the Democrats since ‘times were so wonderful’ under the Clintons. Or could it possibly be that voters were tired of the Clintons and wanted a change? Any change-no matter how bad it turned out to be? Just think about it when you put Hillary on the ballot in the GE. Is she electable?

Jayne: PLEASE tell me of just ONE progressive thing/stance/vote, that Obama’s done/made while in the Senate………PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I say “progressive”, since that’s an adjective for “CHANGE”!)

How about the fact that Oprah actually DOES THE CAMPAIGNING FOR HIM (not only supporting)!!! BESIDES THE OBVIOUS HELP THIS GIVES, CAMPAIGNING ALSO HELPS THE ACTUAL CANDIDATE TO GAIN MORE REST THAN THE OTHER CANDIDATES (ACHIEVING MORE MENTAL CLARITY)…IS THIS EVEN LEGAL??? WHAT OTHER WHITE PERSON HAS DONE THIS FOR ANY WHITE CANDIDATE………..NONE!!!

I’ve got GREAT news…just found out that MIKE GRAVEL (pronounced, gru-vel`) is STILL running, DESPITE mainstream media’s NON-acknowledgement of him during this whole race!!!!!!!!!! WE STILL HAVE HOPE!!!!!!!!! =D

I hope the “love in” in LA goes well, and hope it is the last! Times of London found links and usual denials by Obama’s campaign that Obama’s bagman and political patron Rezko introduced Obama to an Iraqi, Mr. Auchi, who made millions supplying weapons to the Baath Party in Iraq and is the major shareholder of a bank that kept Saddam’s personal bank acoiounts in! Mr Auchi also funded a fundraiser for Obama in 2005 through shell companies Auchi’s wife is a director of! No wonder Obama was against the war! The Republicans will have a field day with this one, bigger than Swiftboat!
Sure hope Edwards checks out Obama and doesn’t endorse him, or else his entire passion to help the poor goes out the window! When Slum tennants of Rezko in Chicago during the deep freeze of ’97 were freezing because of no heat, Rezko said no money to provide any, yet while they were freezing, Rezko was providing funding for Obama’s campaign!
Amazing how people will believe words and not check the reality of someone, especially someone with links to evil and denies them continually, then when really caught, says bonehead mistake, this is not someone needed in the Whitehouse! And Oprah better never again speak on behalf of the poor and mistreated when she is supporting someone who thrived off the poor peoples suffering!

No one has answered my question, yet. I was just wondering…One thing no one has been able to explain to me is this: If the Clintons did such an ‘outstanding’ job during their 8 years in office, why did Gore lose the election in 2000? Oh, I know you’re all going to say it was because Bush stole it, etc. which is probably true. But it was so close. Shouldn’t it have been a landslide victory for the Democrats since ‘times were so wonderful’ under the Clintons. Or could it possibly be that voters were tired of the Clintons and wanted a change? Any change-no matter how bad it turned out to be? Just wondering if she’s electable?

She sells talk for money.
Uses women to her causes.
Made a billion.
She now wants a network.
She dumps women and suddenly becomes political.
She chooses her race, as much as her
old country,Africa, to help.(think global Oppie?)
Now, all of you women, listening , reading and viewing her for your daily fix, sucking up and paying for her businesses, supporting her endless causes (albeit self-served)…you don’t tell me you now feel betrayed?!!!
TRUE COLORS DO COME OUT.
I am voting for my maltese dog Starbucks to be the next US Prez!
Damn the media.
And Oprah who?

Oh, i forgot.
Something in Michelle O I do not like.
Mrs Obama is, I think a control freak.
But again the media is so enamored by BO that he is the perfect Manchurian candidate for now.
I actually like this guy.
It’s just not the right time.
“WANTED: US PRESIDENT. No experience needed.”

Change,change,change,
Starbucks is the name of my Maltese dog. Which are small cute and white dogs, but mine isn’t.
So one day I was sipping a latte, and had that caramelly, cinnamony tinge on it’s froth, thereby discoloring it’s white creamy top.
So then his name was born!
Jealous?
No,change.
Just admit that apples dont fall too far from mama tree.
WE DO NEED CHANGE.
IN FACT OPRAH CANNOT CREATE CHANGE.
TALK AS MUCH, BUT CHANGE IS FROM WITHIN.
OBAMA, for Oprah, will be great for her. Not for America, not yet.
BO is a brand new car. Everyone loves it. Hillary is your old Toyota or Ford with some dings and scrappy paint stains, but hell, runs like new. And very reliable.
Now, change, I will use my BO on my dates and Sunday drives. BUT I will drive my Hillary till death do us part.
Meantime BO will be parked inside my garage pampered and clean.But I will run it too like Hillary someday.
Got it now , change?

LOVE that you carpool!!!!!!!!

Cindy,
I don’t watch oprah and i can’t careless about her show. But build a school for a group of girls who did not have a chance to go to school is a great thing. In America we are spending millions of $ in education and most of us take it for granted. American kids are dropping out left and right because most of them dont know the value of education. Those kids didnt have a chance to be educated now they do. I think oprah deserves a BRAVOO!!!!

Who cares what Oprah thinks. She doesn’t even care about her own father. Oprah is not the end all to be all. She can’t even keep her own health and weight in line with all that money she has. Who cares what she thinks. I sure don’t.

Kevin, you can’t hide the fact that Obama supporters have spent nearly a year spewing their venom on these posts. A term I used to describe you people first when I first started reading these. Now you want to turn it around? So like you Right Wing media/OrahObamaniacs to do so. Hillary is ahead in all the polls, although we learned polls can’t be trusted, I’m willing to believe this is true. I can’t believe any real, longtime Democrat would go for Right Wing Media hype on a candidate who is representing us. No thanks, we’ll make our own decision.

VOTERS YOU ARE THE DECIDING FACTOR – DON’T LET ANYONE TAKE THAT RIGHTS AWAY FROM YOU! DON’T BELIEVE ON EVERYTHING WHAT YOU READ OR HEAR ESPECIALLY ON NATIONAL MEDIA. DON’T BELIEVE THE NEGATIVE ADS, PUNDITS, POLLSTERS, NEGATIVE MEDIA, POLITICIAN AND CELEBRITY ENDORSERS – REGARDLESS IF SHE IS OPRAH WINFREY. MAKE A CONSCIOUS DECISION YOURSELF WHAT IS BEST FOR OUR COUNTRY – OUR COUNTRY FIRST AND FOREMOST. THIS IS THE IMPORTANT ELECTION IN THE HISTORY OF UNITED STATE OF AMERICA – WE NEED TO CHOOSE WHO IS THE MOST QUALIFIED AND BEST PERSON TO LEAD OUR COUNTRY FROM THE DAY ONE! WE CANNOT TAKE CHANCES TO BEAUTIFUL SPEECHES AND RHETORIC AND WE CANNOT AFFORD AN ON JOB TRAINNING PRESIDENT. MOST IMPORTANTLY AMERICA CANNOT AFFORD TO MAKE A MISTAKE IN ELECTING A WRONG PRESIDENT AGAIN! AT THE RATE OUR COUNTRY PROBLEM WE HAVE NOW: ECONOMY, WAR IN IRAQ, IMMIGRATION AND SO ON.. PLEASE VOTERS DECIDE WISELY AND PRUDENTLY FOR THE LOVE OF OUR COUNTRY – ITS NOW IN YOUR HAND ON WHAT DIRECTION OUR COUNTRY WILL GO. GOOD LUCK TO EACH ONE OF US. God Bless America!

Oprah talks about not being racist. What a hypocrite! I don’t think being a minority makes you a victim of
anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like
the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America.
Try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund,
Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what happens…Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door. Andy Rooney couldn’t say it better than he did. Now I do not put all blacks in this category. There are many out there that don’t believe that you need to label them anything other than a man or a woman, young or old, an American. Color should never come into the conversation, if they do want race to be an issue.

JUSTSHAMEFUL, who are you kidding? You all have been rediculously callous when it came to Hillary. I don’t see any vile statements from Hillary supporters as I do from Republicans who do not want either. The Obama camp joined the Republicans in their Hillary hate fest so don’t even flip flop on yet another issue! We already know what Obama supporters have said, over and over. Obama supporters has been the best repellent for support.

Oh Yeah…..Bring out the Big “O”. The same Oprah who was duped into endorsing a liars book. She’s a poor judge of character. Now she endorses Obama….how can you trust her when she says Obama’s the “real deal”??

This election is about hiring the right person for the highest government position in the world. We need someone who is driven and with experience and Hillary is the right person for that position. The people who are out to destroy the Clintons have done almost everything to repudiate all the great changes that Prez Clinton had done for this country during his presidency. If they start doing the same thing to Obama, I’m afraid we will have another Republican in the Whitehouse. Just ask the people you know in his own State. I used to have high respect for Oprah and Caroline Kennedy. ~ gibe

The editorial board of La Opinion, with a readership of 500,000 the largest Spanish-language daily in the country, endorsed Obama today, praising his “inclusive message of hope” and his “conciliatory style that can reverse the vicious cycle of rancor which has paralyzed (the country’s) ability to come together on major decisions.”
Clean slate!!!
Obama,
’08!!!

I am glad to see Oprah, Caroline and Michelle come together to present their views on the campaign from a woman’s perspective. While a few people obviously, by some of the comments on this board, don’t respect the rights of these women to make their views heard, I think many more will respect their opinions than don’t. Barack said he had no input to the theme of this trio’s gathering, in his words, “it’s their thing”. This speaks highly of his respect for women and women’s rights.

GC: What a load of crap……..If you think that is ok to not honor our flag, especially during wartime when that flag that is on the shoulder of every troop in the war zone as we speak, is disgusting. While it is a constituional right to burn the flag, that does not make it right. I have never heard one word from Obama about the troops, or supporting the military. As the most Liberal Senator in the Congress he will assuredly not support keeping America strong, and I think he will be especially weak in dealing with the Muslim world…..
As one who has seen death and destruction I can tell you I detest war. I can also tell you that not very reported is the fact that when Bill Clinton tool office and the day he left office the Army was the same size. In contract Reagan / Bush and the current Bush cut the entire US military to less than half its size, and we are paying a price for it today. People like Barrack Obama would have us sit around and hold hands with our enemies. I wonder if he would wear an American flag if elected?
I wonder how many of the communists, radical muslims, and cowards who support Obama actually believe in the United States of America and what it stands for…………

This African American Male question’s Oprah’s reasons for wanting to speak out now, for starter’s, she’s power hungry and always wanting to be in the lime-light when it’s convenient for her, where was she in earlier Presidential Campaigns?, yes, she has a right to speak out, but why now? I believe what Oprah is hoping for that a lot of her white audience follow her and vote for Obama, I also have no respect for her because she was not there for Jesse Jackson’s, Al Sharpton’s, Al Gore’s or John Kerry’s campaigns. Oprah could not lead me to the water and back. People should really question her motives before deciding to vote for Obama based on her endorsement, if you reaaly think about it, you may also find something’s very strange or funny about this. Oprah may have hidden racial issues up to this point that she was successfully able to cover up.
Yes, We need a clean slate from someone who has a little more experience than Obama,I want more than Hope and Leaping out on Faith for Change and American Unity, Obama, will be nothing more than a puppet like Bush. Being a good speaker and motivator does not equate to a good President, any great speaker and motivator can get people all excited and emotional to do what they, want. preachers have the ability to do the same thing, that does not convience me that they are a good Preacher. America needs someone who can put their plans in action to solve America’s problems, Hillary I believe has the ability and experience to accomplish this. Hillary is the clean slate that’s needed to turn America around, not a novice such as Obama, maybe in four more years he may be able to do this as well.
This African American Male is not willing to take a risk on Obama this time around, because we may be electing another Bush, if we look back, Bush also preached change and unity, look at what we got instead, the only difference in Obama and Bush is that Obama can speak very well and get people all emotional and excited. Hope and Faith without works is dead, meaning that Hope and Faith is not going to change things for the better or bring unity in America, but experience through hard work will. I’m not going to let Obama, Oprah, or the kennedy’s fool me into to voting for a someone just because the’re Black, good speaker, or proclaim to be a change agent, or uniter. Hillary will be our best choice and clean slate that would have a better chance of succeeding in making real change, fixing our problems, and unifying the country, Hillary has too much experience to be a puppet for Congress and her advisors, when making diffcult final decisions on an issue, project, or bill, the “Buck Will Stop With Hillary”
Unlike Obama, he even stated during a debate that his advisor’s will be making the decisions, he will just set the strategy and vision for America,Bush also let his advisors make the decisions and run the country, now it’s in a mess.
Hillary will be more of a Hands-On President, that’s what America needs at this time in order to Unify this country and fix the mess the Bush Administration has created.
You go Hillary! In my opinion, experience, hard work, and deeds, speak’s louder than words of Hope, Desiring Change and a Leap of Faith in Electing a President in these challenging times America is in, and will continue to face in the future.
Hillary have paid her dues and earned the right to be my President now, Obama has not got there yet, but some day I’m confident he will.

Forget Oprah. Obama cannot stop quoting MLK in every speech to gain black votes. The only change I see him create is making black people and Oprah proud for electing a BLACK PRESIDENT. Hope and inspiration cannot help OBAMA make the change this nation is ready for. OBAMA LACKS EXPERIENCE. We cannot afford to let him LEARN from his mistakes once in office. Like someone other comments hope and Oprah’s money cannot replace knowledge and experience. He needs seasoning not advisors hired by OPRAH. He needs to be right and ready on the first day for the unexpected. Let’s be realistic and if it wasn’t for Oprah he never would’ve made it this far. OPRAH Jesse Jackson needed you some years ago! Where were you for Jesse? He was a better candidate than OBAMA and could have used some of your financial support. As far as Ted Kennedy’s support, if he would’ve done what he mentioned in his endorsement speech for OBAMA (offering support and energy to help him become the next president of the USA)
Then, where was his support and energy to help Mary Joe? If he would have placed the same support and energy maybe Mary Jo would still be alive or if taking responsibility he would be in JAIL. Ted’s endorsement is not a good thing for OBAMA.
OPRAH and CAROLINE should stay out of politics. We love the great memories we have of her father and they should stay that way.
MY VOTE IS FOR HILLARY…HILLARY, HILLARY , HILLARY.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ALSO, if Oprah TRULY cares about OUR country, then WHY hasn’t she opened up a school (or done SOMETHING) for THIS country as of YET (BESIDES, STUMPING for Obama, that is)?!?!?!

If Oprah, Caroline Kennedy, and Sen. Kennedy were endorsing HRC all these people that are slamming them because they are endorsing Sen. Obama would be praising them for supporting her.
So let’s stop being negative and start bringing this country together again!!!!

My dear American friends,
I am strongly convinced that Hillary is not the right person for the hour. I think she is a dangerous candidate, who has shown sarcasm, lack of posture as a would be president of such a great nation like America.
I think she plays emotions, hides her true humanity and has the potential to throw America in to the worst moral chaos. She looks to be hawkish. I think her decisions won’t be wise, she hansn’t proved she is a woman of sound judgement. She mixes gender, race to achieve ends.
I don’t believe the America people have lost sense of moral judgement. Pray to Jesus and ask His will in all this.

Why don’t go for Huckabee?
At least he shows he is more consistent, pro-life and still believes in God, who can bring people together and bless a nation that is going downhill every minute: war, cataclysmic events, tornados and the like.
America has forgotten the laws of God. America has allowed the feminist agenda to dictate the ideals of the American society.
Haven’t you, American people, realized that a nation that is built on a vulnerable foundation will colapse?
How can God bless America, especially trying to elect Hillary Clinton to govern millions of people who claim to be true Christians when she is against the WORD OF GOD?
WELL, THAT PROBABLY SHOWS HOW FAR AMERICA HAS GONE.
For God sake, do not go for hill.

I love Oprah and Obama and the Kennedy’s but I love my family and friends and the people of our country even more – I heard Obama speak in person and Oprah too… but then I put all the pre-hate I heard for Hillary aside and heard her speak as well and made my own decision away from the media and listened to what she had to say… I realized though Obama can be inspiring – research has proven he is not perfect just like her – the difference is HILLARY ANSWERED MY QUESTIONS… when i go to the ballot – I am not going to see the word change on it – as imperfect as Hillary is she doesn’t hide from who she really is – what you see is what you get – Obama inspires but he never let’s us in because the research shows all voters would rather be inspired by reality – stories of truth – Obama is about promises we are only guessing he might keep – HILLARY has mad a difference in your life and mine for he better already and the truth is if you make your vote a vote without ANY KIND OF DISCRIMINATION – with education you will find undecided voters are voting for hillary because she is the best human for the job A – Z… it has nothing to do with race or gender – I vote for HILLARY CLINTON because she represents the HU-MAN RACE

Hi Darrel,
I respectfully disagree with you – but without any apology regarding Hill. You can vote for one person, that’s up to you. But when you said that though Hill. is not perfect, yet you are also accomplice of her wickedness in being directly/indirectly involved in the killing of million of babies.
If you believe in the Bible and what this Holy Book says about womanhood, chilvary, holiness, repentance from our wicked ways, you would not be part of this gender’s cospiracy.
You can vote for whom you like, however your guilty conscience will never rest in peace as long you endorse evil people to lead you.

I I’m an African American Male who somewhat agree with you that Obama is a very inspiring Motivational speaker, but that does not equate to him being a good President for the difficult times we are in and face in the future. We need Hillary’s experience to help turn this country around, America needs a hands on President to make this happen, Hillary is able and ready to accomplish this objective. If you can remeber in one of the debates, Obama stated that he was going to appoint has advisors to make decisions and run the country, all his job is as Presiedinet is to formulate the strategy, direction and vision on how to turn this country around, this is not enough for me, I need more of an Hands on President to get involved inot to ensure that change happens with great success, Hillary will do this as well.
It takes experience and hard work to bring about the Hope, Change, and Unity Obama preaches about during his campaign stumps. In my opinion, he’s not ready for this very difficult task, talking and doing is not the same. I’m not willing to take a risk on him at this time, maybe in 4 more yours after he have gained a little more experience.
Change does not always translate to positive results, people are talking about we need a clean slate, that’s more or less what Bush was suppose to be, and look what mess this country is in now, Cheney and his advisors was really running the country bush was a yes man and a puppet for them, I’m afraid with Obama’s lack of experience, the same thing will happen to him and the country will be in a deeper mess 4 years later. Obama is a good guy, but he’s not ready to take on the top job in governement just yet.
As for Oprah, she has no credibility with me, she just want to be in the lime-light to say that she had something to do with getting Obama nominated. When her voice was really needed in the past she remained silent, maybe she could have used some of her so-called popularity, star power, money, and influence to keep Bush from being in office for 8 years causing this country to be turned upside down. we need more than speeches of Inspiration and hope in order to turn this mess in America around. In my opinion, Oprah missed the mark this time around, Oprah lost my respect.
Inspiration, hope, and getting people all emotional and excited alone is not going to undo the damage that his been done to our country, it would take another Clinton to get it straighten out.
You Go Hillary, America Needs You Now!!

NO, DEPP. WHAT ABOUT THE CLINTONS? BILL IS ALWAYS FOLLOWING HILLARY AS IF HE IS HER SHADOW. OR WE ELECTEING BILL AGAIN?

Everyone should stop thinking about race or gender. All that matters is there will be no Republican president in the White House. If so, GAS WILL be $3.50-4.00 a gallon, troops will remain in the war, illegal immigrants will have all the jobs, food will be so expensive due to outrageous gas prices, children will be out of sinc due to little or no education because teachers aren’t getting paid enough. You all should stop the bullcrap and vote for what’s right. Either vote for OBAMA or HILLARY. If we don’t get CHANGE FOR DEMOCRATS. We’ll get the same old s***!! Don’t vote Hillary because she’s a woman and don’t vote Obama because he’s black. Vote for what’s right and who can get the job done for everybody in AMERICA not just the rich, but for EVERYONE!!

Hi Audra!
I would like to say that you are so right, we should not vote for someone, based on their race or gender, also, I would like to add that we should not vote for someone just because they may be a great motivational speaker as well.
Hope, Change, and Unity could only happen if we choose a candidate who has the experience to make these titles become a reality, great speeches and getting people all emotional and excited by tickling their ears with great phrases and on-liners while on the campaign stump is not going to do it alone, America needs action now not talk. Voters should be very careful who they vote for, please vote responsibily, put all the emotion, excitement, race, and gender aside created by the candidates and really study each of their issues, and honestly decide who has your best interest at heart, and how thier policies will affect your daily lives both positively and negatively, who actually has the experience, skill, ability, qualifications and a better chance of starting to turn this country around in the positive direction now from “Day One In Office”, Who would be a hands on President not just a great speaker, strategest, visionary, or delegator to advisors to do their jobs. Everyone should remeber, that there is a such thing as “False Hope, Pride Change, and Unity”. also Everyone should remeber this quote from the bible: “Faith Without Works Is Dead”.
Go Hillary!

I don’t agree with Darrell’s false dream that Hill. performs “good works”.
Can’t American people have sound judgement about this woman who has given bad and destructive example to our daughters?
Tell me, where on earth can a nation bogged down in gender struggle, braking of God’s laws survive? And about nominating Hillary Clinton? Total disaster!
She, cleverly (politically correct evil agenda), poses as a “savior” of the war in Iraq, when she has endorsed laws which have consented in the killings of more innocent babies than all the soldiers killed in all wars, including Iraq and Vietnam, etc. etc. Come on, brothers and sisters, don’t commit this tragic mistake! Seek God’s guidance in this time of need. Away with Hill. Bye!!!

About Obama being green and unexperience like George W. Bush, having plenty of money, yet wants my vote. What can be expected from someone like that? A lot can be expected. That is a lot of mistakes. Bush wanted results. Obama wants change. Results and change are the same. What kind of results or change. That is the questions. How can you tell others what to do if you don’t know what to do yourself? It’s easier said than done. And with no experience, it’s even harder. Get real. Actions speak louder than words.
