    I think Oprah's endorsement will have an impact definitely to people who hang on to her every word. Oprah has a lot of influence, and I think her backing a political figure speaks volumes. Never has she done this before.

    Not at all. Her opinion isn't worth more than anyone elses. We should all have our own opinions and make up our own minds. I hate it when celebrities try to influence us.

    Yes, surprisingly I wanted to see Hilary be the president, and now since Oprah is backin the Barack, and all about the black, and I am not even black! Anyway I can't vote cause I am not American, shit, don't even live there. Wow, what a contest, sounds like a damn sight more interesting than the proper election against the Republican - white wash, or will it be a blue-rinse…

  31. RILEY says – reply to this
    31

    Well she thinks she's jesus and she has billions of followers so yeah I think it will sway peoples vote. However, I don't understand why she feels it's necessary. Why does Obama need Oprah? If he's such a great candidate then he can't he do it on his own and let his actions speak for themselves. As soon as Oprah see's a black person as being successful, she's all over it. Which isn't a bad thing, but if these people are so great at what they do then let them accomplish it on their own and let them show the world what they can do, we don't need somebody like Oprah shoving them in our face.

  32. ellen says – reply to this

    She needs to stick to entertainment and saving lives. Politics is not something you pick up as a 'favorite thing'.

  38. hahaha losers says – reply to this
    38

    You're all losers. You know you'll want to follow Oprah. Which is fine, because she is God on Earth. Unfortunately, Obama won't win because he's black, and Hillary is a woman, so maybe Chris Dodd or somebody will come through and make our country worse off then it already is? I actually think Obama would be a phenomenal President, provided he doesn't turn on the black rights/ Jesse Jackson/ Al Sharpton switch as soon as he's sworn in.

    I'm for Obama already. You know he's a quality candidate if Big O endorses him

    She has no political credibility with me. Where was she for Gore and Kerry? She appears to care for the Democratic party, But comes out to support a "black man" vs ideals? This is not a book or a movie, this is my life. You have to stand for somthing historicly for your opinion to have weight in matters like these. The black woman Jesus bit off more than she can chew with this one.

  43. evelyn says – reply to this

    If miss thing wants to go on the campaign trail then she should run for office. If our country has gotten to the point that Oprah makes the decision who runs our country we better start reevaluating our political system in general. Remember when Babs spoke out for Bill Clinton? They said she was sleeping with him? This is just not right, she can indorse him but I think going on the road is nonsense.

    She is going to hurt him. All I can imagine hearing her saying in her screaming "joooohhhhhnnn trrraaavolta" way "Baaarrrack Oooooobama" thinking she is on her TV show - and then crickets.

  50. No way! says – reply to this

    You have to be kidding. Why would Oprah's opinion on ANYTHING sway mine? Our country is in big enough trouble without celebutards like her attempting to influence anyone. It's also rather insulting. Not all of us are like sheep to the slaughter.

    Why are you guys all hating on Oprah? She is one of the few that uses her celebrity to do good and change peoples lives. My guess is that most of you DONT do anything to help other people. I am not brainwashed, but the woman gives away millions of her dollars and incents others to do the same. She is an inspiration and you guys are all just hating to hate.

    I like Oprah, but I never listen to celebrities opinions. Who I won't I vote for? Pre-rehearsed, calculated, coniving, finger to the wind Hilary Clinton. And yes, I'm a woman.

    Oprah only endorses him because he is black. Obviously she does not care for America if she is with Barack. HE WONT EVEN PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE to the flag. He OBVIOUSlY hates America. Why would he be a good president???

    ROMNEY ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!! Atleast HE has some MORALS!!!

  62. sad says – reply to this
    62

    I'm Canadian. But it's really sad to me that she is doing this. The truth is there will be ALOT of people who are completely uninformed about the candidates platforms but will vote for him because they are Oprah devotees and she tells them too. Not that he's a bad option….but I do think alot of her backing has to do with the whole he's black thing….and that is not a reason to make someone the President.I pray people will actually learn his platform and make an informed decision….not follow her like a herd of sheep.

    I might be swayed a bit if I was a Dem, but I'm not. I know people get passionate about their political views, but I urge everyone to really analyze the issues facing our country before choosing a candidate. One question to ask is, "How will this idea be funded?" It's important because the answer is always, "With taxes."

    Don't you find it odd that she has not backed anyone until the were of african desent? Oprah is not a person the I respect as far as race goes. And she is trying to put pressure on people in the US to vote for someone and she has never backed ANYONE before????

    no- i am still undecided but SHE does not sway me. Who and what the candidates plan and WILL do in office affects my vote. PURE and simple. If I thought dem was wroth the picking right now——as of right now…not too imporessed with the biggest "interview process ever held."

    Absolutely NOT. Her opinion doesn't sway my vote any more than anyone else, which is not at all. I'm supporting Ron Paul.

    No. I can't stand celebrity involvement in politics. Stick to your job which is to entertain me not tell me who I should vote for and why. I am smart enough to figure it out on my own. Oprah can't even sway me with her book club choices. They mostly suck.
