VIDEO: Watch Oprah Campaign for Barack Obama in Iowa
Sunday December 9, 2007
Sunday December 9, 2007
Kicking off the first of a three-state tour, Oprah Winfrey urged more than 18,000 people Saturday in Des Moines, Iowa, to support Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama because he is "the one.
"I am not here to tell you what to think," said Winfrey, 53, adding that she is not trying to do for Sen. Obama what her book club has done for authors. "I am here to ask you to think."
Winfrey, who praised Obama for being against the Iraq War from the beginning, said she has "voted for as many Republicans as I have Democrats," insisting her backing is not purely partisan.
"I want you to think seriously about a man who knows who we are and he knows who we can be," she said.
After introducing Obama and his wife Michele, an audience member yelled that Obama should pick the daytime diva as his running mate.
"You want Oprah as vice president?" he asked. "That would be a demotion."

oprah is a self centered, egotistical, meniacal, self grandising, self righteous, uber b****. the only reason she set up a school in africa is because she said all that kids want in america is ipods and computers. yeah thats because they're american kids you b****! in the fifties they would have said they wanted howdy doody dolls and hoola hoops. that doesn't make them bad kids you self righteous c***! she stole phil donahues ideas, and all the crazy bats love her because she's a black woman. i have never heard her say anything. all she ever does is repeat the same words. percervere, and motivate. great we know she's a workaholic who came along in the time when everybody was going nuts for black women. steven speilberg also gave her a career making role in the color purple. that doesn't mean she's a god! anyone would give their money away if they had billions. all i see is a rich b****.

Sorry, but I can't help but notice that both OBAMA and OPRAH are of the same skin color......
And up until now, I thought OPRAH was WHITE!

Oh yes, 10:24 AM, you know so much about Hillary, but somehow you neglected to learn how to spell her first name! She was First Lady for 8 years, and you still don't know the first thing about her. Ignorant people like you are the reason we got 8 years of Bush.

Hilary is one scary b!tch. I wouldn't turn my back on her like someone said last night, she'll slit your throat. And the emails that are going around saying he swore in on the Kuran are false, that was made up by Hilary's camp. He has enough knowledge to do the job. I'm voting Huckabee anyway.

Actually, Oprah does know a thing or two about politics. She is well-educated in that area. But that doesn’t mean everyone has to agree with her opinions

Oprah knows nothing about politics, she should keep her nose out of it. I don't give a crap who she supports, her opinion is like an a**hole, everyone has one.

What has this man ever done? Who is he? We do not want to vote for a president because of color, nor sex, nor religious belief. We messed up big time with the one there now, let's give ourselves a chance and vote for someone that can truly hold the office and do something while there ... please

“She has never backed a candidate before, so he must be saying something she believes in.”
Like I said, he is giving her the cock. It’s not so much what he is saying as it is more of what he is doing. But you can’t blame him. Shes hot

I dont think this has anything to do with race, gender or experience...She has never backed a candidate before, so he must be saying something she believes in. As for experience, Hillary doesn't have any either...She is a senator, just like Obama. As long as whomever is elected will bring my husband, and all the other troops home, it doesnt really matter to me!

Voting for your candidate should not be based upon color or gender. Why not a black president? Why not a woman president? My own problem is that I cannot stand ANY of the candidates - male, female, black, white, Mormon, Baptist, etc. All I hear is the same-ole, same-old. However, I WILL vote -- just because it'll give me a right to complain when someone messes up!

nope, she won't affect my choice one bit..don't like Oprah too much anyways..too much pop-psychology going on w her..and as far as i've seen, she only seems to support her own?

Why must one assume that Oprah is only supporting Obama because they are both black? If a white person supports Guiliani, is it only because he is white? NO! That is such a ridiculous assumption to make! Nonetheless, Obama is my first choice, but I would also be happy if Clinton won. As long as Bush is getting out, it'll definitely be an upgrade no matter who it is. OBAMA 08!

She is only supporting him because he is HALF black (only his father was black/he rarely mentions his mother is white), just like Halle Berry(who is half white/black),but apparently wants a white baby.

Oprah is not basing her decision to vote for Obama on race. Oprah is a intelligent woman and I beleive she she supporting the presidentil candiate meets her beliefs. She is noting going with someone, bc of skin color or gender.
Some of you did list that as a reason which I think is really stupidy on your part. Also his name is Obama what the hell does someone name has to do with anything. that like saying Bush hmm he must be a marjuana user can't vote for him.
DON'T VOTE FOR SOMEONE BASED ON A NAME, GENDER, RACE, OR LOOKS, BUT DO YOU AGREE WITH WHAT HE OR SHE STANDS FOR DURING SPEECHS AND TALKING TO THE PEOPLE.
THIS COUNTRY IS IN GREAT NEED FOR A POSITIVE PRESIDENT TO BRING THIS GREAT COUNTRY BACK TO ITS GLORY DAYS.DON'T BE THE PERSON WHO BASED YORU VOTE ON UNWISE DECISION.

So it should be about gender instead? I'm not a fan of either, but I think Hilary would be far worse for our county. She's a socialist.

I am disappointed that Oprah has not supported the women's cause as she always has. When push comes to shove, it's about the color of your skin. Our country can't handle having a black president with a name like Obamba right now. This would be a disaster for our country and Obamba would be committing suicide.
