Oprah Loves Obama

November 27, 2007 @ 09:28

There's going to be something very interesting take place in the United States over the next couple of months and it could have a huge impact on who becomes the next President.

Oprah Winfrey will join Barack Obama in three early voting states, Iowa, New Hampshire and North Carolina, states considered crucial in his bid to defeat Hilary Clinton for the democratic nomination.

History dictates that these kind of high profile endorsement don't usually help put someone over the top but this could be a whole other ball of wax.

Oprah is considered the second most influential woman in the United States, ironically just behind Hillary. But her alignment with Obama could transcend all other examples of celebrity endorsements because Oprah speaks to those people who Obama has a realistic chance of reaching; women and black Americans with politics the last thing on their minds.

The United States suffers from the same problem that Canada has. Voter turnout is usually embarrassingly low and it's believed a candidate like Obama, backed by the huge media machine that is Oprah, could get people's attention and inspire them to come out and vote.

Voter turnout in black America has been pathetic over the past few decades because of a feeling of hopelessness; they don't feel anything will change. Well this could provide the breakthrough they've been looking for, a black candidate endorsed by a powerful black woman.

As it stands Obama is closing the gap on Hillary so this could get very interesting, and who knows, if it works for the Democratic nomination, it just might work for the Presidency.

It's sad that race still has a major role in US politics. Is Obama the best the Democrats can put up against the republicans? I doubt it. I don't think he's ready and he certainly doesn't have the experience. He's been a senator for 3 years and some people think he can be the leader of the most powerful country in the world. At least Bush was the governor of Texas for 5 years.

LOL honestly I'm laughing my ass off Argie, I can't believe you actually said at least Bush was govenor for 6 years hahahaha. Look where that got the country. I don't think 3 years or 20 years matters if someone is a capable leader they can do it period. LOL still laughing though ARgie new time low for actually trying to put Bush in a good light like that haha. Thank you I needed a good laugh.


Linda lol I think you are little late on the Osama Obama comparison. That joke was old about 2 years ago.

A black man running for president is screwed unless he has backing like that of Oprah. Is it sad that race still matter yes it is, it shouldn't but it does matter to people. Personally I wouldn't vote for the guy either he's too wishy washy for me, John Edwards is in my mind the only guy that speaks his mind and is honest or Ron Paul ( ooh gasp a republican). But have you seen the rest of the republican candidates. I think everytime Giuliani opens his mouth to answer a question he has to relate it back to New York and 911, talk about a douche bag. Nearly all of them still think the worls is less than 10000 years old and they are somehow related to Jesus.

I thought maybe his loyalty to John Kerry might be the end of Bruce Springsteen. Thankfully for the Boss that has not happened. However, I get the same ominous feeling about Oprah's alliance with Obama. I think she will do his campaign (and her reputation) more harm than good.

You know, I am an African American woman and I have been looking at this race closely. I never thought anyone could take my vote away from Hillary, but I am casting my vote for Obama. Not because of race, which is a major issues in this country, but because Obama speaks to what I worry about in my everyday life. He boldly addresses issues like faith, education, healthcare, war and the economy in manner that I have seen no other politician of my time. Obama speaks from experience (read his track record), he is in the issues, rather than looking at them from afar. I see him walking in the concerns of the people. And you can say what you want about Oprah, but I can tell you this, if she endorses him, it is sincere. I respect her struggle and her power. Oprah is very careful to use the gifts that God gave her in a manner that she feels will be pleasing to him. I think Obama and Hillary should become running mates - they can compliment each other. But Hillary is not in the same place as Barack (she never can be) her perspective will always be different. We need change of approach and change of perspective in this country.
