CNN

I am disappointed that Stars are getting into politics. Let the real people with so much to loose like health Care, mortgages, paying for child tuition to vote for the qualifying canidate. Please do base your vote on who the stars pick.

Why is Sen. Clair McCaskill with Oprah instead of Obama? She's been sticking to him like glue. She is in almost every picture of him, even on his plane. Oh, I know, they needed white women as an offset. Wonder what position in his cabinet she hoping to get.

For those who say Oprah, and others, aren't supporting Barack Obama because he is black, do you think she would be doing exactly what she is now if he were doing the identical campaign he is now, was white, and from downstate Illinois? Do you think Caroline and Ted Kennedy would be knocking themselves out for a junior senator from Illinois with 2 years national legislative experience and a record of 133 "present" votes, and with the ties to Rezco that he has had. I honestly don't think so. He probably wouldn't even have made it past Iowa. It's just terrible how they have painted the Clinton's campaign when the Obama campaign is just bubbling with hyprocisy for those voters with an objective mind who can see it. Another point, CNN and the other news networks always seem to post articles when Sen. Obama's poll numbers seem to be advantageous, but I don't see a lot of poll numbers when Hillary's are better. Just a little reality check.....

Obama has complained about 2 (Clinton's) against 1. I haven't heard Hillary complaining about Ted or Oprah.

I hope Super Tuesday hands OPHAMA a resounding "NO YOU CAN'T"

Nope, no respect for Oprah anymore.

The New Ticket Winfrey/Obama what a pair....Just watch Clinton is going to win and Obama will be doing interveiws on the Oprah Winfrey Show.

Obama 's qualification for VP is questionable. How can he be a president? It's ok to be the president of opah's new network.

So Oprah is again trying to buy an election and Obama is the means. Does'nt say much for Obama 's high horse about integrity. Just seems to be another typical type Chicago political adventure. Adventure YES honesty NO

Michelle is not savy enough for the white house, did anyone watch her interview, not to intelligent just a lot of reading of the q cards.
You people are fooling yourselves to think that people will be swayed by the entertainment world. Oprah does throw the race card back into the center of the ring.

Oprah representing Obama is rediculous.
Elvis might represent the Clintons.
Who cares about their opinions.

Obama has Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton, Oprah and and Snoop Dog and ....
Caroline and Ted.

Please stop with the Obama endorsements and report health care policies and the war in Iraq.

Thanks.

RIGHT ON Texas Democrat, That is exactly what Oprah said about our American Children!!!!

While Obama was visiting that poor school in SC that rattled next to the rail road tracks built in the 1800’s, and is in such disarray...Where was his friend Oprah that spent $40 MILLION in Africa FOR ONE SCHOOL?

Why are Obama and Oprah depending on the youth vote when Oprah clearly stated "the reason I don't help the American kids is because they already have too much. The only things they are interested in are sneakers and i-pods, and they don‘t appreciate anything!"

Obama is also so quick to say Hillary for not having correct judgement. How about Oprahs judgment about James Frye? Nobody is perfect, and Obama and Oprah should really knock off their holier than thou, I can do everything better attitude.

BTW...Renee Va, The Obama FOLLOWERS ARE WAY MORE NEGETIVE, DIVISIVE, AND DISRESPECTFUL THAN ANY POLITICAL SUPPORTERS OF ALL OF THE CANDIDATES COMBINED.

Bad, bad; bad, bad, bad OPHRAH is back, please advise Obama not be so arrogant he haven't won yet.

Oprah was near the top of the most powerful women in America in recent years. I dont watch her show but her character has earned my respect from when she is in the news. This is probably the Obama campaign's response to Hillary buying an hour on the estrogen channel.

GO OBAMA!!!!!

Thanks to Ophrah and the Kennedys. God appoints someone to bridge the gap at a time of need.Go Obama 08!!!

For all you white supporters of the Clintons are you voting for her because she is white? If Oprah was supporting the Clintons you would be singing a different tune. Grow up and stop with your childish comments you don't seem convinced the Clintons are going to win from all your negativity. That is exactly why Obama supporters do not support the Clintons you all are so divisive and negative and that is exactly what we will experience if she wins.

Ignorance begets Ignorance... Obama & Oprah,,, WHAT A JOKE..!!! Its really amazing what money can buy these days.. God help America if NoBama and HARPO get in office,,, reminds me of the three stooges a little bit.. without the third one.. Geez,, that s all we need two bozos in office.. hooray for Hillary. go Hillary Go!

ma\ybe she needs to workout those excess weight by stumping

it 1 then 2 then 3 and jump

pathetic pathetic pathetic.. it is a sad day that we have two ignorant individuals thatr know nothing about the needs of americans.. Obama..Who is this guy?Did anyone evere hear of him before last year.. and Oprah..Good grief.. she is as pathetic as i have ever seen anyone.. she knows nothing abpout politics and what has Mr.O promised her.. maybe a spot in his cabinet.. she is so pathetic to look at.. Stick to your tv show and leave the politics to the big guys oprah.. you dont belong in anything political arena.. i dont watch her on tv and certainly would not watch her as a politician.. this is all rediculous..we need oprah in politics like we need the measles... go away!!!
ALL THE WAY FOR HILARY AND BILL.. WE LOVE YOU HILARY AND BILL.. WE DO NOT WANT OBAMA AS OUR NEXT LEADER.. THIS WOULD BE A MISTAKE.. WE NEED STRENGTH.. HILARY AND BILL

pathetic pathetic pathetic.. it is a sad day that we have two ignorant individuals thatr know nothing about the needs of americans.. Obama..Who is this guy?Did anyone evere hear of him before last year.. and Oprah..Good grief.. she is as pathetic as i have ever seen anyone.. she knows nothing abpout politics and what has Mr.O promised her.. maybe a spot in his cabinet.. she is so pathetic to look at..

OPRAH winnefrey should keep out of the political arena. she knows nothing NADA about politics and should stick to her television show . Stick to your television show and stay th eheck out of th epolitical arena which you know ZERO about.. Politics are for experienced individuals. Bill Clinton and Hillary are the best ones suited for the Job.. What do we know about obama?? he does not endorse the health issues related to the american family..Hillary Clinton is best suited for that job.. With Hillary and Bill as her 1st man america will be what it has not been in a long time.. we americans need Hilary Clinton.. Not Obama.. Good day,,

Folks.
This is America. Everybody can vote for whomever they want – for whatever reason they want. And celebrities are also citizens and can do the same.

If isn't this an Obama event? If so why will he be in Delaware? So for those who criticize Bill for campaigning for Hillary, I find it hypocritical to say that Bill can't help Hillary, but it would be okay for Oprah. Yeah, Obama is the wrong choice for this country if he needs Hollywood to send his message out to the public.

Nobody has ever explained to me on what GROUNDS does OPRAH have to give political speeches. She has never run a public office. She has no degree in political science.

She has never been in the senate. Nothing.

Obama is continuing to think americans are STUPID and will vote because OPRAH says so ???

Or the daughter of a guy who was president for 2 years 45 years ago?

why not start dragging out the decendants of Abraham Lincoln to stump for John Mc Cain.

Now if anyone is bringing race into this it is Oprah and her speeches!!! No one is more racist than Oprah....even if you call is reverse discrimination!!!

Wonderful

Is Bill going to start smearing Oprah now?

GO AWAY OBAMA
GO AWAY OPRAH

this is obama's best strategy. the feminine vote which is of course substantial is his achilles heel in this democratic primary. having oprah campaign for him will help to shore up support among female voters.

Yeah... right.

Ann Coulter has essentially endorsed Hillary and she's a great judge of character (sarcasm) Even though its clearly a publicity ploy what does that say?

"Obama bases his campaign on hope... nothing more." DO SOME RESEARCH BEFORE POSTING NONSENSE LIKE THIS – HAVE YOU DONE ANY RESEARCH?

"Obama will pick Oprah as a running mate" – THAT WAS FROM LETTERMAN!

Lay it out on the real tip – y'all are closet Republicans because you know who gives you the best chance to win the general.

That said, I don't think Oprah's really going to make a difference.. nor should she.

Demo-dog

Ginny, I couldn't have said it any better!!!

HILLARY '08

Oprah always said she would not support a canidate because she thinks people should have there own views- Here comes a black man and out she goes-
I will never watch Oprah because she is a phoney and am rooting for McCain so if Obama does win I have another choice- I hope Hillary wins but if not
Go MaCain

It funny how you Hillary's supporters are now wary of endorsements. The fact is she has more endorsements than Obama early in this race and no one complained. People are joining Obama's camp because they want to believe again.

There is power in the voice of Millions. We believe change happens from the bottom up not otherwise. Obama has been about inclusion while Hillary has has illusions of being the second consecutive authoritarian leader in American history.

I still can't get over her Christmas ad. Where she's giving us the people gifts such as universal health care e.t.c She believes ( like the queen of England) that the people are her children and she can give us things. In America, no president can give us the people things that inherently belongs to us. This is the same reason Hillary fundamentally beliefs (at her own peril) that LBJ gave blacks rights. When the constitution suggests that we are all born with Freedom.

Change We can all believe in. !!!

why is that when someone black of color come out and support another black

person who have and good education the world get upset why is it that white &

black can not be one nation why is that race all way have play apart of everythink I"m 55 years old I' so sick of people always so divided in everything

why can"t we love each other and forget about color and stop being so nasty to
each other

I like hillary but she the past like I'm the past

WE need people who can think for our children and grandchildren

God be with us we need you to put love in our Heart for our children

Why does Obama need Oprah and Kennedy endorsements to win the Presidency? Is it because he lacks substance and experience that Hillary very obviously has? And who cares about such endorsements? I'm sick and tired of CNN and media making a big deal about them and playing favorites over Obama in all their programs. Wonder how many millions Obama paid CNN and other channels for all the plugging about him. And how much Obama paid his endorsers to promote him?

Come to think of it ... THE ENDORSERS ARE NOT GOING TO BEAR THE PROBLEMS OF THE PRESIDENCY SO WHY SHOULD THEY OR WHO THEY ENDORSE MATTER?

In the final analysis it is the candidates – be it Hillary, Obama, McCain, Romney or Huckabee – wno will make the most difficult decisions about the country. The endorsers are just there to claim a payback once Obama gets elected!

WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!

[Let's see if CNN includes my comments...]

Oprah taking side, all because he is black. He has no proper plans laid out for the nation. If he is voted in, i think the blacks americans are very stupid. USA needs a President with experience. If he is nominated over Clinton, he will not win the race to the white house. if he wins the race to the white house, i am sorry to say, USA will decline in being the number one. It is more complicated up there to do any change without a planned new political system. I doubt he has it. Shame on Oprah!
Taking side when the candidate is not fit to be the President of USA, not because he is black but he is a rooky senator! The nation needs a leader to handle the economy, health care and so on. Yes, he has charisma but that is not good enough.
Shame on you, Oprah!

Obama wants to stop the war which has killed 4,000 plus and climbing and that's not counting the soldiers that are committing suicide. Obama is the only choice to stop the carnage.

Oprah,Carolyn and Michelle?! Yikes, it's time to leave the country. What have we come to?

I have never understood Oprah's attraction. She uses the white community to advance her financial goals and spends it in Africa as if she has any relationship to that country. She obviously doesn't share her wealth with the blacks in this country. Wake up America and support products made in the USA.

God help us all, every time I turn on CNN Michele Obama is there!!!
Is Obama the ONLY candidate who has a spouse???
Gotcha! This must me marketing conspiracy of Obama/CNN.
Fortunately, no mater how heavy the marketing is, if the product stinks it won't sell. It applies well to premature Obama!
Go Hillary!

I too dislike the way the media likes to break voters down into demographics. It makes me feel bad when I appear to fall into one of the "negative" categories.

However, these statistics are based in fact, not opinion. They come from the entrance and exit polls that were conducted in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and S Carolina. Now, whether or not the media really needs to report them is another issue. While it might be useful information to the campaign managers to help them identify where they need to concentrate their effort, I don't see how it helps the average voter except to make them think that they should vote a certain way based upon their "demographic".

I no longer tune into Oprah.

When a candidate bases her campaign on war votes, stagnant wages in the 1990's, NAFTA, and a failure to deliver universal health care (1993), you can tell that she is expecting Americans to have no historic memory of what "35 years of experience" actually means.

The exit polls don't lie. Poor, uneducated whites and elderly woman are her base.

With McCain we get imperialism for the next 100 years. In the fall, no matter who is the Democratic nominee, mark D. Even if you hate Clinton or Obama.

The talk about Obama's support coming from more highly educated people is just damage control for what's become obvious. His support is from the most gullible and idealistic that have no concern for issues. They respond emotionally to his rhetoric and fail to see the reality of his shallowness. If you read his supporters posts here you can tell very easily that they are far less intelligent than what they purport to be. His oratory skills speak volumes about his followers.

I think it is great that Oprah being from Chicago, a very powerful woman who represents "The American Dream" would endorse a very intelligent presidential nominee who was the state Senator and now the U.S. Senator from Chicago. Obviously he brought about change for the state of Illinois. Get a grip people, if you looked at the Democratic Presidential Debate on Thursday, you would see that it is about which nominee is more capable of running this country while letting the people have a voice as well. Oprah is a billionare, and Obama said he would take away the tax cuts to the wealthy that Bush instilled during his reign. This would very well affect her. If she is endorsing him, that says a lot about his character and ability. As it was noted during the debate, and this is paraphrased: For the past 30 years there has been either a Bush or a Clinton in the White House. Think about. It is time for change. Look out February 12.

oprah go back to chicago and count your money. you're such a phony.

Michelle, Oprah and Caroline VS. Hillary
Trial and Error candidate versus Proven and tested candidate

Wow! it takes 3 to fight over 1....means that Hillary is super strong and
very qualified to become the next PRESIDENT OF U.S.A...

All three are just riding to each other's popularity!!!!

Many of my friends got disappointed when Oprah went out for Obama , the first time. They were thinking about voting for Obama and then decided to vote for Edwards because of Oprah"s campaigning for him. It is sad but I think that if Obama is the nominee, the democrats will loose this race and Mccain will be elected.

Democrats get carried away and think Obama is so clean. He raised more money than anybody and their campaign keep sending us letters asking for money. So he is like any other politician .

I think all these endorsements are demeaning. We can think for ourselves and don't need to know your opinion. Wait until we vote and then support the nominee.

I, too, wish Oprah would stay out of this, but it is her choice.

To be honest, I don't think all this fanfare matters much. People who like Hillary are going to stick with her, people who like Obama will stick with him. A lot of people who will go to that rally are already Obama -fans or a non-Obama fans who just want to see Oprah.

I know there are always people who are undecided, but I think anyone who has gotten to this point and is still undecided, is taking a careful look and the candidates and the issues. They are not going to say, "I'll vote for Obama just b/c of Oprah." I'm a big Oprah fan, but I made up my mind a year ago to vote for Hillary. Nothing anyone says can make me change my mind.

You supporters of Hilary...you need to know its time to turn the page...Cant this great nation get another leader other than bush and clinton's family? COme one...its time for change!!!!!!!!!! Further more Hilary and Clinton are very dishnonest people..remember the line I idid not have sex with that woman? I sure do wish Hilary does not make it to white house...

Why are most of the comments so filled with hate.

Oprah is an American citizen and a voter and has the right to speak for any candidate she wishes...as do well all.

And for those of you that are so small minded to think that if she does not support another woman, she is turning her back on women, you are mis-guided. Maybe she just doesn't belive Hillary is the right woman for the job.

And for those of you that think that Oprah or any African American is only supporting Obama because he is black are closed minded. In fact, couldn't that argument be used for all white people that are voting for Hillary, McCain, Rommney, Huckabee, etc.

Maybe, considering all things equal, race, gender, etc. it is the first time we have a choice to choose something different...

Obama '08

Having Oprah back for such a large event signals desparation to me..

Hillin in Seattle

One other thing...

Oprah is the example of "The American Dream". She would not be on the Obama bandwagon if she thought for a moment he wasn't the best person for the job. Her endorsement doesn't make me want to vote for Obama, but does lead me to find out more as to why she stands behind him. As far as I'm concerned, if Oprah talks I will stop and listen. She gives back so much to society and sees beyond nationals borders. Whatever she is doing she's got it right...we are global and all sharing the same earth. If she didn't support Obama it wouln't change anything for me either, but her endorcement a long with Carolyn Kennedy and Ted Kennedy carry an amazing amount of weight. I, for once, feel happy about the Presidential election rather than depressed.

Oprah, used to love her, now I can't stand her. She has no business telling us who to vote for and neither do any other celebrities. Say "no" to both and vote for Edwards. He can still pick up delegates.

Well....now that Oprah is back and can bring race into the mix again......here come the real Obama. He is putting a woman up there to say things like "he is one of us – he knows where we have come from" and the only problem with that is when Bill Clinton says things – everyone gets upset. I am upset that Oprah is inserting race into the campaign when she should be talking HOW Obama would fix things. What a terrible distraction! If Obama gets the nomination I will change to an Independent because I do not like these tactics – which are just more of the same.

By the way...check out factcheck.org. CNN has a link. See how Obama mislead and misstated things during the debate on Thursday. Same old politics just a different fact.

Go Hillary!

How quickly we democrats forget about 2 years ago Oprah supported James Fray "A Million little pieces" when she had not researched his memoirs. The person was not telling the truth.

Just because Oprah endorses someone, it does not mean she is right. She made a mistake with James Fray and what guarantee we have she is not making another mistake by endorsing Obama? Remember once Obama is elected you can't go back on TV and say "I'm sorry".

I love Senator Obama and know if he gets the Democratic ticket, he is going to sink the Republicans. Senator Clinton just can't do it, half of the Democratics dislike her, and 100% of the Republicans can't stand her. Obama is the bridge maker and I do believe he will do what is best for this country. I did a lot of homework on all the candidates, and he is by far, the best person for the job.

One important fact to always remember, HE DIDN'T VOTE FOR THIS IDIOTIC WAR! Anyone who did, cannot be trusted to make smart and tough choices for the FUTURE of this nation!

I don't care for celebrity endorsements; why should a celebrity's vote count more than mine. Reality: it doesn't - except in the media. While celebrities have every right to support the candidates of their choice, the media makes it seem like the rest of us are too stupid to think for ourselves and that we must be led to our decisions. What happened to free thought, free will. Americans should not be lemmings when it comes to this election.

As for Obama's joke on Letterman about Oprah being VP, that's all it was. Oprah's too smart to take that kind of pay cut although she would be a far better VP than our current one.

Obama's campaign is illegally spamming people's email addresses! Who's selling this information to them?

Ginni in CA.

The media is reporting poll results, period.
The fact that that is all the media is reporting is one of the reasons the race is as close as it is... since most of the people that have honestly and thoroughly looked at the policy and record of both candidates have overwhelmingly picked Obama... But the simple fact is that poll after poll have shown that the higher educated Democrats and Independents and some republicans break for Obama by a HUGE margin.

You can complain about the media reporting nothing but poll data, God knows I have many times... but in a world where the media only reports poll data, you can't complain they report SOME poll data because it makes you fell bad.

BTW, Obama also overwhelmingly wins in independents overall, crossover republicans, and new voters... which means Hillary is only winning the yellow-dog dems. Who do you think would be better positioned to win in November?

I can't believe all of these hater comments below! So Hillary can get millions from PAC and lobby groups and have her husband run around and stump for her, but when Obama has a celebrity on his side all of the sudden it is wrong? Grow up. Every last one of you! Obama hasn't taken a dime from any lobby groups, unlike Hillary. SO WHEN HE IS ELECTED he only has his conscience and the American people to answer to. Not the people who paid for his election. Why don't you do your research before you show your idiocy to a national audience? Further, one person cannot give more than $2300 per election. So Oprah herself cannot give him "millions". Have you ever looked at how many individual people that have contributed to Obama's campaign? HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS! Most giving small amounts that fit their small incomes. Obama is the candidate of the people- not washington lobbyists. I support him 100%

Oprah has never endorsed a presidential candidate. What is the deal here?
It's obvious that it has to do with race. Oprah, it may have helped Obama in the south but it will do more harm then good in the West.

Yes Oprah for Obama in California, how great more women will vote Obama!!!!!!

If Oprah, wants to use her voice to let people know who she supports then good for her. As for her not being someone that we could value as having any insight on this election that we could debate. It is however really great to see how many people want to dump on her for having the right to support whoever she wants. It is amazing, if she had enough support to become one of the biggest and affluent people in the world then she must not be to negligent with her power.

Just when I was starting to feel better about the possibility of an Obama nomination, he goes and makes it all about being black again...

An't you guys tired of the politics of bickering and hatred? America needs character and substance and nothing else at this point. It's time to say no to the politics of war mongering and homeland security. This is a new dawn in American politics and only Barack Obama exudes that quality. America wake-up

Barack Obama made the statement in campaigning the other day that he was more electable because Hillary Clinton supporter will vote for him in the general election if he becomes the Democratic nominee but that the Barack Obama supporter will not vote for Hillary Clinton if she is the Democratic nominee.

Well unless he retracts that statement immediately in this fast paced election, for this Hillary Clinton supporter who for party unity and so did not want more Bush Whitehouse years made that statement true is now here by giving notice that it is no longer true. If I do not hear not only a retraction of this statement and a encouragement by Barack Obama for his supporters to vote Democrat no matter who ends up getting the nod as the Democratic nominee I will be setting out this election if Obama wins the nominee! He went way to far! If he waits till the convention to get all unity mode it will be to late for me! Lets see if Barack Obama wins any better without the support of the Hillary Clinton supporter then Hillary would without the support of the Barack supporters!

Ginny why come to this site if all you do is complain? Go check out Fox or start your own company. I am sick of whiners to this site. Stop coming here and pulling the "everyone who doesn't vote for Hillary is a woman hater". She is poor leader.

If non-black support, which is keeping Obama in the election, is real, then the world has indeed changed.

For the American majority to be willing give up power is exemplary. I watch with hope, and amazement, as we countdown to next January, where I will do all I can to be at the ignaugural for the first black president.

Will affirmative action become real again, what about reparations, and the 40 acres, and a mule promise? It will not be chaos, well, maybe at first, but rappers say what they say because the world is unfair...what will they rap about now?

Dick Morris has has claimed on many an occasions that Clintons are in fact will do anything to win which includes playing the race card.
For this reason alone Obama is going to win.His voters may not be pro Obama BUT certainly anti Clinton and anti everything.

I'd rather listen to a person, with intelligence give testimony concerning the accomplishments and ability to get things done in a substative way, such as the ex pres. Bill Clinton. Will Oprah be able to aquiesce the public when after a year or two you see that nothing has "changed" because Obama just doesn't have the exprerience and know how to get it done in our system yet? Will Oprah be able to explain when people get so dissallusioned with Obama's administration that they vote in a republican majority congress just exacerbating the issue. Let's not forget we have a Congress. Think about this when you go to the voting booth on Tuesday. HIllary has my vote. She has the credentials, and that is what it should be and only be about.

Oh, good grief! Look at this situation: Oprah has all the money anyone could ever need. She doesn't care about anyone except herself. She needs to mind her business because none of this affects her, she has too much money. She forgot what it was like to be poor many years ago.

Good Luck Senator Clinton

I appreciate Ginny's comments. My husband and I also resent how HIllary's supporters are depicted as not as educated as Mr. Obama's. We happen to work in law enforcement and education, and actually base our votes on educating ourselves on issues, not on who is popular with the media today. We also live in Illinois, and the only reason Mr. Obama became our Senator is because another candidate dropped out and he had a relatively easy election running against Alan Keyes. He promised Illinois citizens he would serve a full term, but after just 2 years he officially announced his Presidential bid. Obviously, we were just a useful stepping stone so I don't think I can take his word, nor Oprah's, on future promises. (Also, with all of the endorsements flowing in, don't many of those represent the special interests Mr. Obama seems so adamantly against and says he wants no part of?)

Is Caroline their "token?" Good-bye Oprah.

Play the race card and you will lose Obama.

Go Obama!

I am not an Oprah fan, but I am pleased that she is openly endorsing Barack. He is the only candidate in decades that inspires people, empowers people and embodies strength and conviction. He is not power-struck nor prideful...I feel that he humbly wants to lead our country because he loves our country.

I am very concerned with Hillary's credibility and effectiveness with countries that keep their women shrouded in cloth.

It is pretty sad that not one Democrat is pro-life, but I still voted for Barack (absentee ballot).

Mr Obama

Call anyone where you can lay your hands on. Caroline Kennedy, Oprah Winfrey, John Kerry, even John Edwards. I believe John Edwards would be more pissed off with that old lady than you. You will win California and KICK THAT HILL-BILLY OUT FROM NEW YORK, ITS POSSIBLE!!! Just need to get all the right ingredients.

Good Luck & may God bless you.

Anson

Oprah Winfrey again?? She is a national joke to many of us.
Can Obama find a few more famous people to prop him up?
Go Hillary!!!!

Got a kick, out of kennedy's endorsing obama because he had ideas that were
so much more like JFK, well I grew up loving the Kennedys but they are wrong the
one more like Kennedy was Clinton. We did not get rid of him cause of his being a bad president he just got caught and JFK didnt.

This is not about race or gender for me; its about competence. I am a white woman Hillary's age but I strongly back Obama. Sure, it's terrific to have a woman running for president. But I would prefer it to be a woman not running on coat-tails. Many people are saying they feel comfortable with Bill behind Hillary in the White House. Is dredging up a President from the past a way to greet the future?

I think both Obama's and Hillary's platforms are so similar they could be printed with ditto marks. They're basically centrist Democrats and Bush has helped to define what that means. However, when campaign rhetoric dies down and real action needs to be taken I put my faith and hope in a brilliant candidate who doesn't look at the presidency with a sense of entitlement. Obama is an independent human being able to seek agreement across religious, racial, political and gender lines to bring unity to this country.

The concept of unity, not self-interest, has been in short supply and would remain so under the Clintons. Don't let the past be a harbinger of the future!

Bill's role in his wife's campaign was being criticized because some people, including me, thought it was inappropriate for a former president to go after a member of his own party, as well as spend more time talking about his own record rather than his wife's. Comparing Oprah or Michelle to Bill Clinton is just as silly as the belief that Obama is a Muslim solely because of his name. And Oprah has the right to support whoever she wants. I don't think it's right that she gets criticized for supporting a black candidate but it would be hunky dory if she supported the female candidate.

If you not ready to cook stay out the kitchen. This presidential campaign is so exciting. I think it is going to boil down to the youth and women votes.
Go Obama!

Anyone with a clear understanding of our history must know you have to see the vision before you can be the vision. Bill and Hillary don't have a vision. They want more of the same and it's time for change. In the videos I've seen of Bill lately he's consuming way too many doughnuts. Perhaps a little more time in the gym and less time campaigning. As far as this event is concerned, Oprah, Michelle, and Caroline are speaking to address why they think Obama should be the next President of the United States. These are educated and real women who know what time it is.

OPRAH NEEDS TO STAY HOME

AND LET AMERICANS ELECT A PRESIDENT BASED ON THEIR ISSUES

SAD ITS BASED ON CELEBRITIES....AND OF ALL PEOPLE, SHE SHOULD

KNOW BETTER

OPRAH SHOWS HER TRUE COLORS

SO MUCH FOR WOMEN RIGHTS AND BEING THERE FOR WOMEN

Yes, we can!

I think it is great! Oprah and Obama have long been friends. . .I don't think it is a "black" thing.

What do endorsements really mean? We in America are independent thinkers. We are capable of listening and researching the issues and the plans that each candidate has put forth to put this country back on track to greatness. I don not need Oprah or Caroline or Teddy to tell me how to think or vote in this upcoming election. Obama has a bright future in the Democratic Party but not now. For someone who is campaigning about tomorrow he sure is trying to use the past to get him there. As a democrat beware of republicans and some independents in democratic clothing in the open primary states that crossover, if you think that for one moment come November when the rubber meets the road they will vote democratic for Obama, I think not. I have researched each Democratic candidate thoroughly and their real contributions to making life better for Americans, Hillary hands down has the results and shear resolve to get things done. All voters I encourage to do the same do not be lulled to sleep by the hype and media bias. Be independent and think for yourselves.

America loves Michelle. Add in Caroline Kennedy and Oprah Winfrey and it ought to be a rocking event. Let the California sun shine on this trio. I don't think endorsements change voters minds...they are just using their names to spread the word to undecided voters...but this won't change anyones mind.

The old Hillary hags aren't going to chance their vote because of this...that's for sure. They will follow her thru the gates of hell-a-ry because of what Bill did in the '90's or because they will vote for her as a woman. Period that's it. It sure won't be because she is charismatic. The shrieking she does when she tries to envigorate a crowd...the cackle when she laughs...good Lord that's annoying.

Claire McCaskill, doesn't she have a job she should be doing? She is by Obamas' side in just about every picture. Just curious.

Ginny – you are absolutely correct. Hype over substance! They continue to play the "intellect card".

I know that both of the Clinton's and myself are more educated than Oprah or Obama!

Hillary '08 and '12

Oprah Winfrey again?? She is a national joke to many.
Can Obama find a few more famous people to prop him up?
Go Hillary!!

Look at all of this racism and sexism in here, oprah has a right to vote for whom ever she wants to! what about womens pro choice movement? a women has a right to have control over her body but not the right to vote for whom ever she wants to! such hypocracy, she has done more than any other woman in modern times to help women out and to improve their lives. so don't support her , she never really had ur support in the first place! and for all of u idiots screaming the race card, what color is ur skin? stupid!!!!! if ophar would have run instead of hillary how many of u would have supported her ? a black , asian or latin woman wouldn't get ur support! because of her skin color , u racist idiots, and by injecting race in this shows that the KKK is on the rise, and its members are mostly women now!!!!!!

Obama is a good man

Why "Your comment is awaiting moderation"?

It is good to see good civilised debates and also smart people stand up for this country. Last 20 yrs of sneaky, bickering politics has sickened me. Gald to see Oprah put her good office to hadr work and may God Bless Obama.
I want clean govt not politics and poll driven govt.

When a candidate bases his campaign on hope, change, unity, and nothing more, he's going to need all the help he can get. If Obama showed a real understanding of the issues and could express exactly how he would go about making the positive changes he talks about, he wouldn't need those who have endorsed him going out on the campaign trail, full-force, steamroller style, in an attempt to add substance to his message. It's interesting that even Caroline Kennedy, who has TV ads running non-stop across the country, only speaks of Obama bringing hope and excitement to the people. Ted Kennedy's pro-Obama speeches are more of the same as are Claire McCaskill's and Oprah's. They don't have much of a message to work with, but rely on whipping up the voters with more soaring, poetic, empty rhetoric.

Finally, I am getting pretty tired of hearing the media tell us that Hillary appeals to the under-educated, poor people who are on the lower social level, while they speak of Obama's supporters coming from the highly educated, affluent, upper level of society. That message is offensive on many levels.

I agree: "Bill Clinton was critisized NOT campaigning for his wife but FOR being nasty and disrespectful( putting in danger the future and image of the entire party)…so don't compare Oprah to Bill….".

Never did like the activism. This clearly shown that Obama can't
make it on his own 2 feet. He needs others to do it for him. Tells
volumes about his character. And you all want him to be president?
Who is going to be his cabinet made of entertainers? Oprah, you just need
to go do your show and make more millions. Sell more books. OK!

"JJ Monterey, CA,
Geez can't Obama do it on his own? Has to drag Oprah back in!

Must have been a real flop in the debates…"

So Hillary can have that fool of a husband of her run around and stir the pot?
Obama at least has someone who is respectable on his trail.

Obama 08'

I have never followed up with American Votes before. But this time, I kinda like to get myself updated with America Votes 2008. All this due to Barack Obama. I think I like him to be the next President of America, for a change. I hope some of the changes he'll make will be as follows:-

- that America as a super power country has now gained the RESPECT from all over the world.

- STOP all that American EGO, I meant to say: STOP that Attitude thinking that America is BIG, big enough to Be A BIG BULLY to send troops for WAR in IRAQ!

- LET's make the WORLD A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE IN for you, me, and everybody.

Obama, if you become the chosen one, please come to Singapore and see how our Government run the country. WE ARE VERY PROUD THAT WE HAVE A GOOD GOVERNMENT. WE ARE TRULY ONE NATION, ONE PEOPLE.

I wish you all the best in the PRESIDENTIAL RACE.

Best regards
Mimi Hamid

You will never go broke betting on the stupidity of the American people.

In 2000, we chose a guy that everyone recognized as having, at best, average intelligence. But, we said, it sure would be cool to have a beer with him. So, we elected George Bush for President.

Bush promised to get Osama bin Laden, the person responsible for the deaths of 3000 Americans, but couldn't figure our how. He talked us into invading Iraq for nonexistent WMD and got us stuck in a civil war that killed 3000 soldiers. The American people rewarded this "success" by reelecting him in 2004.

Since then, Bush has destroyed the economy, spent trillions on an endless war, mismanaged everything from Katrina to the budget, and conspired with his oil friends to quadruple the price of oil.

Did we learn? Of course not. We are now excited about a liberal black man with just two years of experience at the federal level. He has no management or executive experience. No real record of accomplishing anything. Why? Because he sure talks pretty.

God help this country.

Fact: she is the biggest endorsement for either party. Oprah is, is, is warm and generous to the democratic party and she supports womens rights. She is well respected and has proven to be genuine in her thoughts. Anything else is just pure JEALOUSEY!

Oprah does not inspire me! It's all about Oprah! The endorsement for Obama is because he is black. Everything she does relative to her endorsements is black related. Her movies, her endorsements, her church affiliation, etc. Her school in africa and her continous affiliation with the BIG STARS!!!!!!

iT'S ALL ABOUT HILLARY! What ever happen to "THE WOMAN WHO STANDS UP FOR WOMEN".

Oprah inspires women, but Oprah wont be in the White house! How is that a win for women?

Barack Obama's secret weapon is one that the Clinton's don't have an answer for. This secret weapon offers America and the world something that the Clinton's couldn't , even on there best day.

As someone that is old enough to remember another time and place in this country when the the American people was looking for a reason to have a sense of pride and the ability to dream big dreams with endless hope and possibilities for a better tomorrow. A young man came onto the world stage and changed this country with his inspiration and hope. The critics said it couldn't be done and he told us , we are going to the moon within 10 years, AND WE DID !

Here we are today decades later and America is once again watching another young man with a unique ability to lift people up with a sense of pride , honor and integrity and the ability to give people a reason to believe again, that our best days are yet to come. Someone that understands that real change comes from the bottom up , and all things are possible with the will of the American people behind you.

The vision of a young man that tells us "we are one people" and YES WE CAN.

Yes Barack Obama is one of them leaders that has the unique ability to break down the walls that divide us , and get us all on the same page as " ONE PEOPLE".

But Barack Obama's secret weapon is one that this country and the world can take pride in , it's one that the Clinton's don't have an answer for because, this secret weapon comes with Honor , Gracefulness , Integrity , Intelligence and the background of life experiences of real every day people.

MICHELLE OBAMA ...............OUR NEXT FIRST LADY.

What Good News

Go Obama 08!!!

OPRAH for President! OBAMA for Vice President = WHAT A JOKE!

The rumor is that if OBAMA wins the Primary he will pick OPRAH as her running mate for VP. This conspiracy is worst than the WaterGate scandal.

DISGUSTING...OPRAH, You are supposed to be an objective observer, yet have chosen to endorse an inexperienced candidate like Obama...Furthermore, Oprah was the person that injected race into this contest, not Bill Clinton.

Tell Opra to stay home and get a life!!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Oprah being among the speakers at a political rally for Obama. She is a very good speaker and it is her right. I wouldn't say she has turned her back on women. She has just decided to support the candidate that moves her most. The vitriol from some of these Clinton supporters is over the top. Are we not on the same team?

why am I in moderation forever?

I hope everyone see Oprah for who she is, to all you White people who support her show, you should have enough intellect to see that she is an IN THE CLOSET
RACIST, everyone should stop watching her show, should boycott her show, as you can see her ratings are dropping, viewers should watch Tyra Banks show instead of Oprahs, send her a message by helping her ratings to go down, all the way down until she is forced off TV, if she want to be in politics, then give up that phony oprah winfry show. You can tell what kind of person she is, she is willing to run on the campaigh trail for Nobama, but does not recognize her own mother. neither does she ever mention her mother on her TV show. Oprah is a disgrace to any campaign, It's PATHETIC and PITIFUL that Nobama has put an In the Closet Racist out there to plead his case. well one thing that does tell everybody, that Nobama is facing reality, that he is a loser, and a vote for Nobama is a vote for the republican, Nobama will not and cannot win this election even if Nobama's mother rose from the dead and campaighed for him. OPRAH YOU ARE A PHONY AND A FAKE, SO IS CAROLINE KENNEDY AND HER ALCOHOLIC, MURDEROUS
UNCLE TED KENNEDY AND HIS DRUG ADDICT SON PATRICK KENNEDY.
MICHELLE STAY HOME AND MOTHER YOUR KIDS, YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME AND DENYING YOUR KIDS MOTHERLY LOVE.

Some of you posters on here reek of racism. Stop your bleeping crying and stop drinking all of that hater-ade. OBAMA WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT!

LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT.......YA BUNCH OF SNIFFLING BABIES.

Oprah should stick to her cute/sweet/sickening TV show. Please people of America...do not vote based on TV personalities/political figures....they are misleading at best. Let's make this election the PEOPLE'S CHOICE.

This is great. I find it very funny that people are angry for Oprah for endorsing and campaigning with Obama. If Oprah was supporting your candidate you would be doing backflips. Oprah is bringing ALOT of positive attention to Obama. Don't hate on Oprah or Obama because she chose Obama to help and NOT YOUR CANDIDATE

Oprah can use her stardom any legal way she choses and she uses it in positive ways to improve people's lives. Oprah like Obama has character that can't seriously be questioned, thats been proven and constant throughout their public lives.

One more thing.... It is obvious that Oprah is more than just a t.v personality. Just because she is an entertainer does not mean she should stay in the box that simple minded people think she she stay in and play the roles other people think she should play.

I am very proud of Oprah and Obama of course.

All I can say is why?
Oprah needs to stick with her book club crying daytime hour of crap !
and Bill gets criticised for stomping for Hillary?
anyway....
HILLARY 08

The only reason she is supporting him is not because he is the best candidate. It's simply because HE IS BLACK. Come on, we are not stupid. Bringing race back into the picture.

I think all Hillary supporters should all boycott Oprah....Then she really will get the message. Should Obama win the nomination, McCain will get my vote. My vote and many friends and families votes as well.

HILLARY 08

The west coast loves Obama , the States after Feb.5th are pretty much in Obama's column.

Oprah , Caroline , Michelle are a pretty powerful combo.

Make no mistake about it , Barack Obama is for real .

why was my comment taken off

Oprah does so at her own peril. She received such a backlash from her viewers when she went out stumping for Obama last time... One can only conclude that she's got a masochistic streak in her. It's just so sad that Barack has to go trolling Oprah around the nation to get votes. Another indication that he can't garner them on the basis of his own merits. I think this is going to hurt more than it helps.

Go Hillary 08.

Who care Oprah. I won't watch her show any more.

TO ALL THE PEOPLE COMPLAINING THAT OBAMA NEEDS OPRAH,

Huh?!? Um... Bill Clinton ring a bell with anyone. Who would Hillary be without her hopeful new co-president anyways???

Have you noticed that Obama needs all this HELP? Can't do it on his own I guess.
What a loser.
Can't wait til he goes away. He's nothing but a divider if you ask me, and those I know.

Oprah! We love you to death...

People need Oprah to tell them what to wear, where to shop, what to eat, what movies to see, what books to read, how to work out, and who to vote for. She's a terrific shepard for Obama's sheep.

I suspect that all these posts would turn around if Oprah was out stumping for Hillary. How about some intellectual honesty here. This sounds like high school type sour grapes.

Really.....how many of you Clinton supporters would be screaming 'foul' if Caroline K. and Oprah were supporting her? Be honest now.

And now let's hear from the woman who gave you Dr. Phil....

It's amazing how our true feeings coming to the surface. The anger against Senator Obama must be coming from some secret long suppressed place. Why can't you just support your candidate without tearing down the other. The true Democrats will rally around whoever makes it through the convention.

This hypocricy over the endorsements is sickening –both candidates are going after the big name endorsements, evening holding press conferences to announce the event.

We'd better wise up - anger is awfully close to hate – we can't afford either. What will you do with that anger after the primaries? Sit at home on in November - or worse yet vote for McCain?!?

Katie – Oakland, CA

HALLELUJAH
MICHELLE + OPRAH + CAROLINE ………..What an equation!!!.....

By the way, Bill Clinton was criticized NOT for the fact he was campaigning for his wife but FOR being nasty and disrespectful( putting in danger the future and image of the entire party)...so don't compare Oprah to Bill....

I am a white woman supporting Barack Obama because he is a man of integrity, brilliance, and vision. We have been offered a great gift in the person Barack Obama, and some of you cannot receive it because you don't like the color of the wrapping paper. Shame on you for being so ignorant!

why everyone is surprise the fact that OPRAH is endorsing OBAMA??????? doesnt she have the right to do that, like everyone else?? everytime a black person endorsing him or vote for him everyone go like ohh b/c he is black come on ppl let everyone exercise there right atleast as the citizen of this great nation

Bilary supporters please stop hating.. Hilary has used Bill her whole campaign!!!! Obama is bringing this home, wow! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HER, CAROLINE, & MICHELLE.. This is too good to be true

OOOOOOOOOOOOBAMA!!!! 08

Obama can't win on his own substance due to the fact he has very little. No real clear explanations, a lot of studdering. While I admire Oprah's work she did for the girls school in Africa, I was discouraged when she said there was no need for it here. Didn't she look at the schools in SC, in Ca, even in her own state of IL. And now she thinks cause she comes here to Cali and speaks I'll vote for someone who's been running for President the majority of the time spent in the Senate...she's dilusional. I'm no longer a fan of her's and I don't care what she has to say.

Go Home with Oprah Obama, Ca Luvs Hillary.

I will never understand why women present themselves in a way that does such a disservice to their intellect and independence. Why should any woman (or man or African American or....) vote for anyone based on their gender or race or whatever. Oprah can and should support the candidate she feels will best represent the values she feels are most important. If that person happens to be Obama, what's the problem? Who are any of you to suggest otherwise?

I am boycotting Oprah. I think that she should have stayed out this race. I don't think that she should be trying to influence her viewers. Electing the president is too serious, and a lot of people will not think for themselves.

IT'S WONDERFUL WHAT MONEY CAN BUY!!!!

IF OBAMA WINS THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION–I WILL VOTE REPUBLICAN!!!

GO HILLARY!!

What ever it takes

This is excellent!! It is exactly what the doctor ordered and just in time for the SUPER TUESDAY face-off!
Go-Bama!!! '08

What's pathetic is that some folks here are starting to show their TRUE COLORS.

GO OBAMA; GO OBAMA. THANK YOU OPRAH. THANK YOU KENNEDY

MICHELLE + OPRAH + CAROLINE...........HALLELUJAH

Oh Lawd. Here they go again...

That woman has way too much influence for a daytime tv personality.

Oprah needs to come to the Capital of New York State....there are alot here that are thinking Obama

I can't wait to see it. Obama has some good wowmen behind him.

where is she going--WHY OPRAH WHY?-U MUST BE STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!U WOMEN ARE ALWAYS LOOKING TO TEAR DOWN EACH OTHER!!!!!!!!

Now, why in the world is seated Oprah closer to Obama then Michelle? Michelle, being Obama's wife should be the one sitting closest to him, not Oprah.

hope Oprah has the golden opportunity of sleeping in the White House when Obama is the President !Clintons were there for 8 yrs..it's time for a change! Bless Oprah & Obama !..peace ...

Oprah

Inspires many Women

She is a Big help to the DEM Party

Obama 08

Wonder if she's going to use her fake Southern accent again? Shouldn't she be picking out a new book for her club or something?

Oprah has been released, beware

Hillary be afraid be very afraid

Oprah, Caroline Kennedy, and Michelle on Sunday. Woww....That's just another big event before the superbowl

Who cares!!

The Obama freight train is unstoppable!!!

I’m over Oprah Winfrey. Celebrities need to stick to what they do well, entertain.

Oprah, stay home! I'm an Obama supporter and I want her to stay home because she's just going to make it worse for him.

oprah is using her star power to get someone elected... this is absolutely intolerable.

Great news!! I love Oprah, but I love Obama more!!

Thanks Oprah, Senator Kennedy, and Caroline.

I think we will win!!

Shame on you Oprah. You've lost all credibility.

i wish i could be there

Just Wonderful Get Out The Vote People Obama 08
Thank You Ladies
Michael In Louisiana
My Turn Will Be Feb.9

Pathetic that Obama has to use Oprah as his Face Girl. Let's hear what he has to say.

Obama needs to get on Oprah on Monday, February 3rd!

ohh god....

Pretty sad when you need Oprah to bring you votes.

who cares.

One looser deserves another – GO HILLARY!!!

I am so glad she is joining to the campaign trail again. I can't wait to her speech/speak.

IT don't surprise me that OPRAH Caroline.and Michelle ARE GOING ON THE ROAD TOGETHER. THEY HAVE TO GET THERE MAN ELECTED ANYWAY THE CAN.

Where was Oprah all this time? She really gave Obama a boost in Iowa. Hopefully she can help again.

Kudos to Oprah for supporting a man of honor.

Oprah is endorsing Obama on the sole issue HE IS BLACK. I was once a big fan of hers and now I am not. I thought she would be a person of vision and would want the best for our country. Obviously she does not. I will be glad once Obama looses and both those loosers can cry together.

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!

finally

I am agree with Oprah.

The real President is OBAMA: Smart and real

Now these are the female powerhouses we want to hear.

I have to admit smart move by Nobama to send 3 females to stump for him to California. Still that won't change my mind. I am a bit disappointed that Carolyn Kennedy will stump for Nobama yet she has as much rights as any of us to do.
I respect Carolyn Kennedy though I will be voting differently and stumping for Senator Clinton.

It is after all the candidate that we are looking at not those who are stumping for the candidate.

Here we go again-Oprah Winfrey! She must really think Obama has a problem. She's going to CA for womens support on Superbowl Sunday–Who is she kidding.....Just may backfire–women are already upset with her.....she betrayed us for race. Michelle Obama as first lady is ridiculous–better replace that with Oprah Winfrey as first lady. Hope everyone knows who is behind Caroline Kennedys decision–Oprah.

Uh Oh ! Its O and O !

thay have all the big people there accept the biggest one thats like saying i the first cnn debate that barrack obama and hilary clinton arnt going to be there but every other canidate from all the other partys will be there thats crazy

I admire Oprah for her great work and inspiration to people ... BUT, why is it that it's okay for someone such as Oprah to speak and flaunt for Obama and when President Clinton has does it, he's criticized??? And, better yet, he's often defending his wife when attacked verbally by Obama? It's his duty as a spouse to feel the need to protect his wife. Hilary Clinton has every right to encourage her husband (even if he happens to be a strong leader and speaker) stand up and defend her and applaud her achievements and preclaim her victory for President 2008!!!

Oprah Winfrey is making a mistake......she supports the wrong canidate and from her appearance in SC for the wrong reason...

Looks like RACE back into the picture!

gross. I really do not like when celebrities put their hand in too many cookie jars.
I want to candidates and real issues being discussed.

I am so tired of hearing about celebrities helping and endorsing Obama . Yeah, I am really going to vote for Obama just because Oprah is. Just because someone famous endorses Obama, doesn't mean I am going to vote for him. Americans can think for themselves. ENDORSEMENTS DON'T HELP!!!!

Gee, I wonder if Oprah had anything to do with that $32 million donation last month....

THE Euphoric over Senator Obama is awesome however Obama can't win the general election. A quick study of the electoral map shows that an Obama DEM nomination will only guarantee a republican victory. Vote for Obama at your peril and give McCain a Nov. 5th victory....

Geez can't Obama do it on his own? Has to drag Oprah back in!

Must have been a real flop in the debates...

here we go again!

Hillary supporters, we need to boycott Oprah!!!!!......

Oh, no. Not again.
