VIDEO: Oprah Winfrey Draws 30,000 to Barack Obama Rally in South Carolina
Monday December 10, 2007

After a stop in Iowa, Oprah Winfrey continued campaigning for Barack Obama Sunday in South Carolina, telling more than 30,000 people, "I'm sick of politics as usual. We need Barack Obama."

In her 17-minute speech at the University of South Carolina's football stadium, Winfrey, 53, also blasted critics who have said Obama does not have enough experience, the Associated Press reported.

"There are those who say it's not his time, that he should wait his turn," she said. "Think about where you'd be in your life if you'd waited when people told you to."

Referring to the state's Democratic primary date, she said, "South Carolina — January 26th is your moment."

She capped off her three-state tour Sunday night at a stop in Manchester, New Hampshire.

After two days of campaigning, Winfrey said she had overcome her initial nervousness, the AP reported.

"I'm beginning to like this," she said. "I'm beginning to like this because I can feel that you are ready for change."
