and by the way… it has been documented that Oprah's endorsement has meant a net of approximately 1 million votes for Obama..

HATE ON…. HATERS!!!

God is Gooood!

i get THE best feeling watching all of you twist and contort yourselves trying to blast two of the most powerful people in our country. have it it… AMUSE ME !

Nomination or coronation??

Not surprising, she has millions who follow her aimlessley and blindly too.

who cares

I love how all the Obama haters are so dumb all they can do is repeat nonsense spewed by John McCain. Like people calling him celebrity all the time now. that's right we have a chance for a president who is admired by people across the United States and the world. McCain comes out with lies and stupid campaign gimmicks and idiots just shovel it up. I'd like to start seeing some original attacks against Obama and not just character attacks. McCain is trying to pain Obama as an elitist out of touch which we all know isn't true.

Isn't it amazing that greed runs the United States. that's awesome!! (end sarcasm)

What i love most about these posts, are that no matter what hate is spewed at her, (call her a has-been, whatever)… Oprah can buy and sell all you broke bastards with the signing of her name!

She is an inspiration to all women around the world. Her voice speaks volumes.in my own knowlage i think she and john kerry made obama who he is today and i will for ever thank them for it.2004 john kerry gave him on on chance to be the keynote speaker at boston convention then whole country was happy to see this skinny kid with funny name now the nominee for president. Then in 2007 oprah winfrey told us that he is the one as we all know what oprah torches sales.once again thanks for both of you.and i will vote obama in november.

John McCain… born in Panama…
Obama born is good old USA!

Fox News reported that John McCain had an affair while his first wife was recovering from an automobile accident; yet, they trashed Edwards for the same thing.
Obama is happily married with two wonderful daughters.

John McSame, knows only threats of military intervention as a means for settling problems. Obama speaks of peace negotiations.

John McSame said yesterday… "In the 21st Century, no country has the right to invade another country." He needs to be reminded that his poor judgement led to that very thing in Iraq.

So, who should I trust? I am ready for something new. I have had enough of this present mess and I neither see nor hear anything new in John McSame. This is not the same man I voted for in the 2000 Republican primary in NC. He has become an angry puppet.

After all this creditbility vs celebrity talk, who do they call?
HA HA!!
Talk about shooting yourself in the foot!!

So what CNN? Oprah is an American citizen and able to take part in the political process. No one is making a big deal of it except the media.

it is amazing how people loved Oprah until she endorsed this candidate. If she spends money on a rented home during the convention, that is her business. She has worked very hard for her success. Senator Obama and Michell has worked very hard as well. I have experienced ridicule because I have worked very hard at my craft and have experienced success and favor because of it. People are jealous, they are blatant bigots on this issue. Why are you not concerned with the horrible past of Senator McCain and his drug-addict wife. If Senator Obama would have had that record he would have been laughed off the race. Yet you call him a celebrity. You call Oprah a has-been. She can be called anything she wants-she has the success record to prove who she is- the most successful business woman in this nation. I do not agree with some of her views, but she is an expert at her craft. I will see her at the convention.

Father Time is headed to the GOP convention for Old Wrinkley Man's nomination! To each his own.

oh boy Oprah! who cares

GREAT!

Obamanation '08

YES WE CAN!

To ustjoe and all the other idiots who believe that 200,000 Germans would show up for a free concert of a seond-string band, answer this question.

How is it that the stadium in Dever sold out after only 24 hours of available tickets for the Democratic Party convention (75,000 tickets)?

Germany's largest open air concert lasts for 4 days, with over 20 bands, and have around 50,000 visitors during that time. How do you explain 200,000 people in Berlin in ONE day?

Americans are tired of poeple like you. We want our government back; and you can't stop that!

“I'm so proud of Barack and Michelle and what this means for all of us, the new possibilities for our country.”

And who is "us"? the black folks and new possibilities for them? What about the soon to be minority white folks? We all know that any hardworking American, black or white, can go as far as they deserve in this great nation. I'm all for Condi Rice for President but NOT Obama!

This is a shock, after all, she is African-American. Don't they all support Barack because he's half Black on the inside and Full black on the out? Not to mention the perks she'll get back if he wins, after all he's also from Chicago….

"justjoe" Oprah has done more wonderful and patrotic deeds for America than you can even imagine in your wildest dream. People like you and your dear friend Mr Jerome Corsi (reliable sources have confirmed that his PhD thesis was Plagiarism, and he is a member of white suprimacy group. He has always his confederate flag pin on the lapel) are disgrace for USA . If you are that patrotic why aren't you in Iraq or Afgahnistan fighting? I bet you'll urinate on your pants on the first sound of a grenade!
The only thing you guys are capable of is smearing people who are willing to contribute positively to the world. Now is 21st century and no longer darkages, wake-up from you nightmare fantasy! Go to Georgia and fight against communist, you and your fellow paper Tigers!

YOU GO OPRAH DONT PAY ANY ATTENTION TO THESE SORE LOSER HILLARY SUPPORTERS! YOU HAVE ALWAYS STOOD UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT AND YOU CONTINUE TO DO SO, REMEMBER WE WERE THE UNDER DOGS WHEN ALL THIS STARTED, AND NOW OUR SACRIFICES HAVE PAID OFF. WE ARE THE GOOD GUYS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY!! WE ARE THE IDEALISTS!!!
HILLARY SUPPORTERS KEEP CRYING YOU DESERVE IT.

puke….

If Oprah showed up at my door, I'd slam it in her face!!

I like Oprah more after the primary elections.

This is looking more and more like a national convention based on race, not politics. I expect Colin Powell to be there as well. Rev. Wright can do the benediction and maybe some former Black Panthers can do the security. Roland Martin can do the play by play. Maybe Louis Farakhan has volunteered to set up the chairs. Scary.

Why is this newsworthy?

It might have some merit as a story if she decided not to attend as its obvious that she loves Obama more than her long time companion Stedman. Maybe she'll get so excited at the convention she'll wet her pants and we can have another major story on CNN.

oprah is going to be the vice president. kennedy girl takes rices's spot. and they will all dream what could have been come 2009 as mccain sworns in.Hillary 2012

OPRAH

THE RICHEST BLACK WOMAN ON EARTH…..I AM SURE ALL YOU OBAMA SUPPORTERS CAN RELATE TO HER..

THE PARTY OF THE POOR AND TAKING HANDOUTS FROM HARD WORKING AMERICANS..

MOST YOU OF YOU HOLLYWOOD STARS ARE PATHETIC….NO MORAL VALUES …NO WONDER YOU CAN RELATE TO OBAMA

I THINK WE SHOULD HOLD A CONTEST TO SEE WHICH STATE WILL HAVE OPRAH STUMPING WITH THEM FOR OBAMA.

Oprah's appearance will only further Obama's reputation as a celebrity … it will not help … either one of them.

Come to FLORIDA OPRAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE COME AND STOP DOOR TO DOOR WITH US IN FLORIDA

One thing I am learning about the american people, we would not see all
the hatred and hostility evident in the hearts of these bloggers if a black man was not in the race for the white house.

One blogger said he well hold his nose and vote for McCain, if he gets elected you will be holding more than your nose. You will be holding your head from all the grief and pain his presidency will bring.

I agree OPRAH the possiblities are ENDLESS!!!!!! We need new direction with new vision. One more year with Bush/Chenney would have America reduced to THIRD WORLD STATUS!!!!!

I wonder if Oprah will pay to bus people into Denver, like she did for the Iowa Caucus. I kow, I live in Iowa, and I saw the people from Chicago. Disgusting perversion of democracy.

Looks like the McCaniacs are a little jealous! Let's see, who is endorsing McSame that has as many viewers as Oprah? None! Nada! lol lol lol
Obama 08

George from Minneapolis, just what are these imprtant issues that people in Hollywood are supporting??? Oh wait, change? Right? It cracks me up that these wealthy airheads get to hollywood and then think they know everything as we the hard working public don't. Bunch of ignorant people voting based on flashy, EMPTY endorements. You guys really look stupid falling for what these goofs promote rather than educating yourself on the REAL issues. Please let us not become a socialist society.

Oprah has to show-up and take credit-per usual. What an ego that woman has! Her "charitable work" seems more a vehicle to promote herself as "an incredible and generous" person than real charity. Real philanthropy isn't self-promotion and self-worship.

Oh boy, another person who just tells people what they want to hear with no clue as to how to achieve it. I seen where Obama also wants to raise the minimum wage to $9.50. That should pretty well send all of factory jobs to another country. Why not come up with a better plan Obama. Guess he needs to take a crash course in economics.

What are you waiting for, cnn? Can you post my comment to Jack Colson, please?

OPRAH WAS GOOD FOR AN ESTIMATED 1 MILLION VOTES IN THE PRIMARY AND I SUSPECT SHE WOULD BE GOOD FOR AT LEAST THAT MANY IN THE GENERAL. WAHT A KICK IT WOULDD BE TO ANSWER YOUR DOOR AND OPRAH WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE.

PAT YOU ARE A RIOT. I DOUBT THIS WOULD INJURE HER CAREER.

That is another reason not to vote for Obama. Who is Oprah Winfrey to have such a political impact that she supposedly added 1MM votes to his primary bid. What a horribile situation to be in when a "personality" would be so influential in a presidential campaign!

OOOh What a day this will be for the Democratic Party!!!!

who really cares,how is this news??

If Oprah were to back McCain…that would be news.

If Jesse Jacjson were to back McCain…that would be news.

If Al Sharpton were to back McCain…that would be news.

If Louis Farakhan were to back McCain…that would be news.

If Hamas were to back McCain…that would be news.

If Ahmadinejad were to back McCain…that would be news.

If Vladimir Putin were to back McCain…that would be news.

See the pattern…this isn't news.

HATERS IN THE ROOM - How many celebrities are going to show up at McSAME's convention - Britney, Paris, ABBA to name 3. Better yet, how many people are going to show up at his convention in ALL - 3.

Oprah made the right decision by staying off the stage and the right decision to be there… GO OBAMA!!!

I could care less about Oprah… entertainers should stay out of it.

And its not about race!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YA right!

Oh by the way I am not white . . . .

Hillary supporter for McCain!!!!!!!

YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS! Another strong woman to stand next to Obama - I love it!

So Oprah used and keep using her power and money to support a candidate for the main reason of having an African-American first president. That is racist why not support or help a Native American, or a Hispanic candidate or cause. She is all about a section of America and not for the whole Nation. Is not only black people who have suffered discrimination in this country and this election had been only about that in complete disregard of the history of other minorities like Natives or Hispanics. After all they saw their land and rights taken away from them. But people like Oprah and Obama for their own selfish interest just present a portion of the story a portion of the whole History in USA.

Yes we can!

Way to go! Who needs the sorry PUMA?

Used to be a diehard fan. Looks like she's all for racecard under the deck type of Chicago politics.
What a shame.

Oprah will, no doubt, have her own key to the Lincoln bedroom. I have not watched Oprah since she and Obama played the race card way back.

"In the 21st Century Countries don't invade other Countries"

John McCain - 08/13/2008

Why is it so hard for some people to just accept CHANGE?!!!!

Jack Colson, what do you mean by…"Has nothing to do w/color of skin, etc. Obama is 1/2 white and that should be mentioned moreso." I have always heard that if you are 1% black, you are black. I'm sure you have heard this, too. Besides, if people don't already know his racial background, then it's their own fault.

Three of the smartest, brightest, brilliant people in the world. We love you all…

Go Oprah…

Go Obama…

Go Michelle…

How could Oprah attach herself to Obama. Obama is the same man who promised to help fund the Kogelo runned down school in Kenya and he never delivered that promise. Look it up folks. If Obama delivered every promise he has made it would cost more than the war in Iraq. Maybe Oprah will help fund Obama so he can deliver his promise. We need a realistic president.

Wow!! Oprah at the convention?!? I'm buying my ticket now!!

She is a has-been and a joke. Went from saying she will never endorse a political candidate to making an exception based on race. Showed her true colors - lost respect of many.

Stay home Noprah.

You liberal democratic idiots with your name calling: McSame, McShame, McBush etc…you really are showing the magnitude of your intelligence. But hey, two can play at that game. Osama gets the backing from a firefighter's union?? Geez whiz, no one saw this coming…..morons.

Republican tyranny?? Hilarious. Let's just follow the Democrats idea of letting the terrorists do whatever they want. Let's not forget when these terrorists started organizing and planning their actions…yup, that's right, while 'ol Bill was getting pleasured from Monica. So shut your hole Susan.

I'd love to see McCain and Osama in a debate before the election…Osama would crumble at the idea of putting substance behind his ideas. Experience is huge, and serving in the military gives the Commander in Chief an added advantage, that's why I'm voting for McCain, and not Osama.

Oprah, Paris, Brittany, Osama….such a perfect fit. This Democratic campaign is comical that you base your ideals, values and morals on words from an inexperienced, untested person. Sorry to say, but I think Hillary would've actually done pretty well against McCain. But she has John Edwards to thank for that.

Yet another reason not to vote for Obama.

love you these 2 O's

PELOSI SUCKS August 14th, 2008 9:58 am ET
I THINK I JUST THREW UP A LITTLE
BOPRAH IS A HAS-BEEN!!!!!!!!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pelosi Mucho Sucks: I am not a Hillary Supporter, but your post gave me a laugh.

Round 1 for PELOSI SUCKS.

Let the abomination begin. Big O sounds like a tire company, white sidewall tires..

Americans have lost all common sense and seem to forget that this is not a popularity contest .
Constant headlines bragging of which celebrity is endorsing whom , makes your election process nothing more than a page out of the gossip pages.
This is an unstable world we're living in , economy is in trouble and you have men and women in harm's way .
If you are saying that people like Oprah help you to make your political decision , than you deserve what you get.
No other country creates a media circus around political elections like you do .

I agree with Opra here, where she says, "what this means for all of us…the new possibilities for our country.” NO more GOOD OLD BOYS NETWORK cheating the people in favour of Lobbists and the Elite at the very top in this world!!!!!!!!!!

Jack Colson,

Who can we trust to work on USA being American?
Who puts America first in America?
No matter how it is said, these comments seem awfully racist. I dont know if that is what you ment, but it sure comes across that way.

KEEP THE HATE COMING HATERS!! IT FUELS OUR FIRE!! OUR NUMBERS ARE NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP NOW- AND STILL GROWING EVERY MINUTE AND EVERY HOUR OF EVERY DAY. ALL I CAN DO IS LAUGH IN THE FACE OF FEAR, IGNORANCE, AND DOUBT.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

This might be a career ender for her. Getting politically active is a huge mistake.

Another Celebrity moment for Obama.

Forget being our first biracial President - he will be our first "Celebrity" President who won with a marketing campaign rather than a political campaign.

I just don't know why it isn't a landslide yet. He should be up 20 points with all this going for him.

Celebrities back McCain… nobody shouts but when they back Obama then it is bad… Folks grow up! I thought McCain's negative attacks will change the polls… but the reverse is true.
PUMA or whatever the call themselves take the challenges USA and the world faces seriously. If u stood 4 Clinton then u'll support Obama and not McWar.
So wake up and drop all these smears! America first.
I am not a Georgian… and will never be. The were Aggressive… the killed almost 2000 civilians so Russia had to teach them a lesion , period!

Great news Oprah. Glad you are going; and glad you are taking a low profile. You have taken a lot of hits for supporting Obama; a lot of hits for giving to Africa… You know bettter than anyone that you cannot please everyone; and so I am glad you are thinking of "O' and also of what is best for Obama. Go girl!

Why does everyone treat this Oprah things as a big deal. She has not been at a campiagn event for 6 months! Even when she was, it was when his chances looked small and he needed the publicity. Now, he does not need it and not using it, yet the media consiers it news.

Oprah is a non issue in this election as far as I can see. This O we can do with out!!!!!!!!!!

Oprah, no doubt, will have her own key to the Lincoln Bedroom. If Obama were not black she would have supported Hillary. She and Obama played the race card way back. I have not watched Oprah since then. i will write Hillary on my ballot in November, to hell with the Dumb Nuts Committee.

That oughta' be the final nail-in-the-coffin for Obama!

Woo Hoo!!! This convention is going to be amazing.

Is this the African American woman who keeps gaining and losing weight? The intellectual heft of the Democratic Party?

America has become the laughing stock of the Eastern World! They just sit back in disbelief and watch us destroy ourselves.

Oprah really shouldn't endorse someone when she has many viewers-

a lot of people don't pay attention to politics and the issues and when they hear this they will back him blindly-like so many of his supporters already…

This just is a big joke. Oprah is a racist too. Just look at her remark she made to that reporter when she opened up her little school not on US soil by the way…her and Michelle make the best of friends-they should, they have race issues against whites!
I hand it to McCain, he has kept this a non-race issue and has not called on celebrities to help him. Look at all these people obama needs to use in order for him to win.
McCain is the man for President. Obama only has his lack of experience and racial wife/Oprah on his side.
Oh and if you don't believe me about Oprah-just look it up on how she didn't know she had to cater to the white people.
McCain'08

People should think well before making comments. Oprah has the right to support who ever she want to. Because she is a citizen of this country. Celebrity or not everyone who claimed to be a citizen of any country must have the right to his or her freedom of choice either politically or socially. So please open your eyes and see the light.

It was OK when Ronald Reagan was the biggest celebrity in the world, because he was a REPUBLICAN!!! Now it's a BAD THING!! I'm sure if President Reagan was still alive right now, he's bust your chops!!!

Now you Republicans are trashing Oprah… but I'm sure you'd take the free car or free trips she's given out if you were in her audience during her shows. It's OK for wealthy people to back Republicans, but not Democrats. You Republicans are the WORST kind of sore losers!!!

Celebrities of a feather flock together. Now if we can just get Paris and Britney, the cast will be complete.

I love Oprah! Glad to see her wisdom carries into politics.

Oh please don't broadcast your show from Denver.

WHO SAID SEXISM…??..NOW COMMON

hold the phone, NELSON Colorado Springs, co and george from minneapolis…..the perfect celebrity learns to keep his/her mouth shut. Who the heck cares about their vote anyway….and stay away from the mountain top…that's not the promised land….that's just smog…as in Obama's policy statements. (cnn….IF I FIND YOUR YOUNG OBAMA INTERNS VOIDING OUT THIS COMMENT…..AS OTHERS HAVE NOTED…….THIS WILL BE WAR…….)

Never was a big fan of Oprah in the past. This has changed some recently but I can’t say that I’ve begun watching her show. Honestly, I thought she was going to endorse Hillary Clinton. Must admit though, I was intrigued with the reaction that many women had towards Oprah after she endorsed Senator Obama.

I hope that Senator Obama's team are careful and calculating when they balance the weight of all the media attention with their campaign/policies. Even with all of the George Clooneys, the Oprahs, the Gweneth Paltrows and whoever else is backing Senator Obama, his team needs to remain very intensely focused on one thing.

Going for the jugular come Labor Day, finishing McCain quick, neat and pretty and winning the GE.

They can let loose and have all the start studded parties come November 5.

HEY JUSTJOE-WHATEVER, I REMEMBER SEING YOU ON WWE A WHILE AGO…R.I.P LOSER

Does McCain have any "relevant" celebrity backing him?

Seems like Obama is doing pretty good with people. I see his supporters aren't keeping their support quiet. Beyonce, Halle Berry, Oprah, Young Jeezy, George Clooney, etc….

Maybe McCain's supporters will open their mouths.

"Undecided First-Time Voter"
(but seriously leaning towards Obama)

I don't like Oprah. While she may deliver Obama a voting block, she shouldn't put up on a pedestal, too pretentious. And besides, she gave us Dr. Phil, yuck!

justjoe,

you are a moron!

Oprah in 2012!!!!!!

I'm sure she's happy to back the candidate of her choice, but I really think she should keep a low profile. Or, maybe I'm just jealous because I can't be there.

Obama '08

Nahhh, B.O. isn't a celebrity.

sheesh, I can't believe people are dumb enough to support this clown

oprah can kiss my fat one….I will never support her, her programs, her material….nothing with her name on it……There is a group organizing now to openly boycott all of her program sponsors…….judahs

The events of 2008 have set women back 50 years in this country. Women are given two resumes; one of a man who shares their ideals, but has barely a term in the Senate on his resume with no legislative accomplishments - and one of a woman who shares the same ideals but with decades of public policy experience, eight years in the Senate, foreign policy experience, and who knows the inner workings of Washington.

And they pick the man.

Why?

Because Oprah Winfrey told them to.

I too am proud of Obama and Michelle. Even though there are still mean, nasty spirited individuals (republicans). I continue to believe there are more good people in the world than there are evil doers. May God bless the world and especially America? That said, thank you Oprah, Michelle, Obama and supporters of change. Together we shall stand. However, divided we shall fall.

Air head celebrities tend to stick together.

And another American saying: Money Talks.

Another "who cares"!!! I have never liked her nor watched her shows. I am so glad that she WILL NOT be speaking at the convention. It would ruin everything. justjoe, great comment.

Oprah is an idiot.

I cannot believe how petty and vicious people are that post on these blogs!

Blacks keep shouting "Racist"…. How many African Americans will be voting Republican this time? Even Condoleeza Rice, has been warned off…. This!!!!!!! This Photo is Racist…

with Oprah's intellectual presence, i knoe that there will be a CHANGE in November. this has nothing to do with celebrity status. that is straight talk. Obama is the way to go.

We are proud of you too, Oprah!

My opinion is just as valuable as Oprah's!

Obama '08

Uh-oh, THE OPRAH. Looking dark on that stage, isn't then when aides are supoosed to get more 'white people' in the picture?

While serving in the Illinois Senate, Mr. Obama spoke against and did not support a law that would have protected babies that SURVIVED being aborted; babies that were alive but left to die. That, my friends, is monstrous.

Maybe she can give them all a car.

Mr. Rogers will appear for Panamanian McCain. Opps, I forgot he died awile back.

Oprah pledged never to get involved in politics. Its disgraceful what she has done with Obama.

Anyone who makes a voting decision based on what a TV star thinks is an absolute fool. I don't care what Oprah thinks anymore than I care what any Hollywood celebrity thinks. This country is going downhill at a more rapid pace every year.

I like Oprah. She is smart… unlike some old wrinkly white hair guy.

OBAMA '08

What gets me is how someone who is clearly very intelligent can also be a complete political idiot.

Obama will destroy this country!

Oprah is the real deal!

Go Oprah go!

O.B. 08 & 12.

STOP HATIN!

OH ! Is Gail coming toooooooo ? This is a real celibritie hoe down ! WOW !
I hope this is NOT a sign of the "guests" to follow if Ob is sucessful.
The last time the WH was open to the public it got trashed royally!

Ive lost total interest in Oprah

When she says, "all of us", who is she referring to?

OH ! Is Gail coming toooooooo ?

Obama & Oprah = a couple of zero's!!!

A lot of people moan and fuss about "hollywood liberal" this and "hollywood liberal" that, but when it comes down to it, they still watch the movies and the TV shows. The nation's center for moviemaking and tv shows isn't in Georgia or Alabama for a reason.

If you're going to moan about Hollywood, don't do it while consuming what they produce for your entertainment.

It only adds to McCain's celebrity theme!

There is a saying in my church. MAKE THE DEVIL MAD…….

I'm not suggesting republicans are devils but jealousy is most definitely a sin of big proportions.

Turns out I will be in Denver at the same time but CNN hasn't written an article about me yet. I mean, now it makes news just because Oprah will be in Denver? Something is seriously wrong at CNN, they obviously have an agenda if they consider this worthy of taking up space. Are they going to have a political ticker for every celebrity that is going to be in Denver during the convention? Is McCain paying them to do this?

justjoe… i attended the Berlin rally, there were no "german musicians" playing before, but nice try

It bothers me that "superstars" think they need to tell us who to vote for.

I support Obama, NOT because personalities like him, more inspite of their "endorsements"

Absolut nonsense. Oprah is an idiot

Cool ! Now ALL the "celebrities" will be in one place!
Stomping for the "white House"

I hope this is NOT a sign of the "guests" we can expect if Ob is sucessful. The last time the WH was open to the public it was trashed roayally!

Sure she won't speak,, hmmm who's on the Wed schedule besides bill? Is Oprah filling the vp slot.

Democrats just don't GET IT

Now there's a shock!!!!!!!!!!!

Two egomaniacs whose heads are just ready to pop! The two "O's," if you didn't know who I mean.

Is there a reason why my posts are ignored ?

What's with all the negativity ? They are old friends …went to church together, live in the same Area. She is just a friend happy to support a friend!

Oprah, good on you for willing to be soooooo supportive.

From the outside looking in,
Kelly-ann, Toronto

It is amazing to me how gullible the media and a lot of us are. The Republican Party tried to make the word "liberal" dirty in the 80’s, now they want people to believe that the word "celebrity" is bad. If Bush was so accepted and welcome by other countries like Obama, then the Iraq war would have different outcome. Many more countries would have worked with us.

Republicans have put this country to its lowest point since WWII; McOld cannot talk about any substance. The republicans have six years of total control in all the three branches of the government. What have they done with all that power? They gave us the war in Iraq that cost $10 billions per month, they turn the surplus from the Clinton administration to the largest deficit in history, our country trade deficits is at its highest ever, the dollar has become the Peso of the world. Here at home the credit problem is making a lot of people suffer. The unemployment is at it highest level in 20 years. McSenile with all his Adam like experience cannot address any of those problems after 26 years in Washington, all he can come out with is some childish attack ads, this is very sad for our country.

I no longer watch Oprah.

Really sad to see American's following the spectacle that is Oprah and her support…

Makes sense since the people who watch her show which airs during most of America's workday…

Welfare checks for all…

Elect the Race Card playing, Flip Flopping, Hollywoodesc, UNexperienced, EMPYT SUIT…

Ya America that's what we need… Follow the leader Lemmings.

Oprah won't make any difference in the final analysis of the American People.
The final "in booth" decisions for 70% of Americans will be:
Who can we trust to work on USA being American ! Who puts America first in America. Who has the experience. Who will not put our border patrol in jail for doing their jobs while excusing repetitive drug dealers (that is a sick case with Campeon and Ramos, etc).
We'll vote for McCain, however hold our nose in the process.
Has nothing to do w/color of skin, etc. Obama is 1/2 white and that should be mentioned moreso.

TO justjoe: Read the news and educate your self. At first they chose a venue which was capable to hold 12,000 people. But Obama requested larger venue of 75,000. Those tickets sold within 24 hours. Your criticism proof how jealous and ignorant you are!

If all this celebrity attention came mcBush's way…

Another supporter of the empty suit express!

Oprah picked the winner she knew what Obama was capable of Oprah is a good person and I hope she can make a difference in November

OPRAH! OMG. OMG. OMG!!!!!

If Oprah's on board, then Obama must be the answer America is looking for because Oprah has made such an amazing contribution to American society. OMG.

Oprah's audiences are the uneducated of America. As are Obama's supporters. What a sham.

Thank you Howard Dean, for bring us one step closer to losing our liberties.

Change is coming America and we as voter have a say in
this change.This change will be and administration starting at the
white house and all government.We must have ours states
and local cities as well because the president can only do so
much.These issues with jobs and income start with them
because you have jobs that lay-off to get under budget and
hard working peoples loose their homes,cars,credit go bad,
childrens start falling behind in school.These are the real problem
in America,which have not really address nationally.Orpah,talk
about this issue on your show and Obama you speak of this on
your campaign trail.

Go Obama! Go Oprah! The perfect way to use your celebrity status… I agree George from Minneapolis!!

justjoe, richard, a-lo = HATERS!!!

Its actually funny how you find anything to hate on.

When did it become negative for prominent people to support a candidate?

You are acting like people who get famous are not as informed as others, in fact they might be more informed. And the best part is, they are the ones who have Buch Tax cuts, and still support Obama.

Stop hating!

There is so much energy coming out of Obama's camp compared to the funeral home spirit surrounding McCain's campaign. When even Powell doesn't want to endorse you, you know you are in big trouble. It is true you have Hagee and some other bigots in the South who like you.

wonder if she'll attend the Clooney/obama fundraiser in Switrzerland?

whatever, Obama needs many ladies on his side….I will NEVER vote for him.

It wouldn't matter if Oprah supported Obama or not any woman with just a modicum of self respect wouldn't vote for McCain based on his record of voting on women's issues. The same goes for any veterans or people who support veteran's issues.

The final results will boil down to people who want a peaceful existence with an improving economy will support Obama and the people who consider themselves the master race who want to dominate the world through wars and rhetoric will vote for McCain.

Lets celebrate and take on the republicans!

Did I read this right: Oprah is going to the Denver obamanation?

In 2000 we had Flori"DA"!
In 2008 we have O"DA"ma!
Barack Hussein Obama want's to fill loser and worst President in my lifetime Jimmy Carter's second term, only with more "celebrities". I think the theme song for the Dem's convention should be Brad Paisley's Celebrity.

Richard J - i'd rather have clooney, oprah, and others who ahd good heads on there shoulders rather than McCrack who embraces bush cheney and every other pebug that has put us in the state we are in

OBAMA BIDEN 2008

CLOONEY WINFREY 2012

-rolls eyes-

People needs to stop being so shallow. Oprah can endorse whoever she pleases. And she is not putting a gun up to nobody head to make them vote for Obama!! I don't see nobody saying the same for Mccain endorser's or did they say the same for Hilary endorser's!!

No offense, but who really cares?

I salute you Mr. Obama our 44th president.

Obama, can know your veep pick at the end of the week. I'm
hoping it will be the governor of Virginia and secty of state
Kathleen of kansas and sety of defense Wesley Clark.Just my
picks, but you know best.

More like a no-brainer, but don't let that stop your gratuitous gushing over BO.

Point taken. I'm outta here.

Well, of course we should all vote for the one annointed by Oprah…

Why doesn't Oprah support Hillary? She's also a woman, isn't she. I guess she's black first. Oh, I forgot, I shouldn't talk about race, even though 90% of blacks support Obama. That's just a coincidence.

Oprah is over with women.

Ree, apparently you care ! Why read and comment?

Oprah is rich just like Cindy McCain and helps out the many people. They are both humanitarians in their own ways yet the McCain supporters are very quick to attack Oprah and praise Cindy. Why? If Oprah is so bad then Cindy is right there with her

Better get used to seeing a lot of the big "O" in DC and at the White House should Obama win. She will be just one of many expecting special favors and the ear of the President day and night.

McCain would be even worse. He would have the big Oil boys and lobbyists using teh White House like it has a revolving door.

Best bet is still Obama if you don't want four more years of Bush!

how is this news?
Oprah's opinion on politics is about as valid as a plumbers opinion on how to best wire a house for electricity

Oprah thinks way too much of herself.

More political energy for the energizer bunny Obama.

oprah is a great woman.

Yeah Obama….its all starting to come together now!

Isn't it funny how quickly McBush sent aide to Georgia compared to how sloooowww they reacted to Katrina victims in New Orleans….even to this day American citizens from that region still has not gotten the aid they need! Hmm….I guess when big oil is involve forget the Americans!

OOOO my!!!

Condi Rice and Colin Powell, please join! You are talents have not been put to good use.

OPRAH ROCKS..!!

Yes..WE..CAN..

Obama 2008

don't come to my door and what do you exactly mean by, "us"?

Okay I am an Obama supportor, but why does Winfrey's name keep coming up? Who really cares whether she speaks or not? She is a talk show host, that's it. Yes we know she supports Obama, we know she is happy. Why is she allowed space in the CNN Political Ticker? I 'd rather one you do a report on the real story behind John McCain's Vietnam so called Imprisonment, Let's discuss about the lives that were taken due to he sold his own countrymen out to save his own butt. Let's talk about his cheating on his first wife who had Cancer with his current wife (you sure like talikng about Edwards and his wife), Heck I will play Devil's Advocate, let's talk about Obama dumb idea of windfall tax, let's talk about Obama's dumb idea of giving Americans a rebate check, even though there is no money to do that. Cmon CNN, the election is in 2 1/2 months, give us some real stuff to discuss.

The USA doesn't want a celebrity to run the country. We need someone who is at least patriotic in the least.
Nobama is a clown with all his clown friends. Get real America, stop taking the hope dope. Sober up and vote for someone who can lead this country. Nobama will run us into the ground. We will be like all those German sheep he preached to.

Oprah is a very smart woman, that is why she has been able to build such a sucessful business. So it makes since that she supports Obama.

Obama '08

Love her! But if she is not speaking, then how is this news?

oooh, a big celebrity endorses another big celebrity, how touching. It's really sad that we live in a country where television personalities can influence how we vote. I know, how about Obama supporters going on line to Senate.gov and reading about their messiah. and seeing how he voted on the issues. How about trying that, rather than letting a talk show host tell you how to vote. How stupid you must be to base your most important right, on what Ophra tells you to do.

Cnn this is old news. Many of us are going to Denver, so what?

BIG DEAL! They are making this convention like the Oscars while us poor slobs are paying top dollar at the pumps and the economy is in the toilet. Oh I see that doesn't matter to Obama he is playing golf today.

HARPO is not a big endorsment. She is a washed up want-a-be!

Opra snopra, she is nothing more than a big blow hard, was it a surprise that she backed the African, yeah right.

who cares!!!!

Go Oprah Winfrey, come to the mountain top you mite see the promise land for Sen Obama. Looking forward to see you . Go Obama

Oprah, wait…just thought of something u can do!!!!!!Can you make a little contribution to help defray the costs of flying over the German musicians who helped round up my Berlin audience…..gotta fill the big Denver stadium for my "acceptance" speech. That would be cool of you…………thanks.

I am so happy that Oprah is using her celebrity to suport Obama. This is what high profile people should do, use their fame and exposure to support important issues that affect people's lives.

Way to go Oprah, I am very proud of you.

Go Oprah! Right choice!

Where is the "news" to this article? Is there someone left in the country who doesn't know Oprah's sentiments? I don't really think showbiz types swing elections.

Two "of the biggest celebrities in the world."

THANKS YOU!

Time for ALL women to follow Oprah's and Hillary's advice, two of the smartest women in America - Support Real Change not McBush!

I think he realized that her backing is good, but, she should not become the focal point. Smart move Obama!

Obama had Oprah's endorsement, and quite frankly, I don't think Oprah carries any credibility here. Obama campaign should not make a big deal out of the endorsement, it could backfire. People don't want Oprah telling them who to vote for.

Oprah, Clooney, Parker, keep those celebrity ties comin' obama… we all know how influential hollywood is. *rolls eyes*

I THINK I JUST THREW UP A LITTLE

BOPRAH IS A HAS-BEEN!!!!!!!!!!!

..it looks like Michelle is replacing Oprah, folks. ….primetime speaker on Monday night………golly, what other "first lady" candidate ever did that on the first go-around? All hail Mr. …and Mrs…Teflon
