The popular TV personality helps Barack Obama draw big crowds while her fans fume
WITH less than a week until Iowa's first vote is cast in the 2008 presidential election, the politicians aren't the only ones feeling the heat: Celebrities, who have become important players in the political fundraising process, are under increasing pressure to campaign for their favorite candidates in the early caucus and primary states.
But how a star -- particularly a supernova -- responds isn't always a simple matter of "yes" or "no." With the exception of Oprah Winfrey, who's been working the trail with mixed results for Democrat Sen. Barack Obama, most of the A-listers have opted to stay out of the spotlight for now. (Chuck Norris, who has campaigned everywhere for former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a Republican candidate, occupies a planet of his own.)
Although it's true that rallies featuring Winfrey in Iowa and South Carolina have drawn some of the biggest crowds of the campaign so far, Obama's people won't know whether they also triggered a backlash until election day.
Winfrey's website has been buzzing for weeks with angry postings about her involvement in the Illinois senator's campaign, something Hollywood, which always keeps its eye on the public mood, is bound to notice -- this is a town, after all, that measures success by weekly grosses and daily TV ratings.
One posting on her site, Oprah.com, accused the talk diva of being a traitor. (By Thursday, that message string had attracted more than 12,000 views.) Another poster told Winfrey to "stop pushing Obama down our throats." (There were 3,000 hits logged on that one.) Another said: "Do you really know Barack Hussein Obama? Scary & something we have to take into consideration!" ..........."

What price Oprah? (Oprah causes blacklash for Obama?)
Oprah for VP pick?
Are you kidding? Her Highness of Kitsch would never go to live in the rickety old VP’s quarters. They would have to build a Palace on the Potomac for her (at taxpayer expense, of course).
Paul Wellstone. People still have his yard signs up in Minneapolis. There's some crazy folks that live there.
And his middle name “Hussein” sure doesn’t help.
I would've been thrown out of that place because I sure wouldn't do it. Of course, I wouldn't be caught dead at an Oprah taping anyway.
Oprah wouldn’t take the pay cut, so I doubt she’d ever go into politics. She’s the goddess of her domain and she’s a billionaire, so I’m baffled that she would ever jump into the mud with a bunch of POS politicians. I get the feeling that Oprah’s handlers are a lot smarter than she is, although they lost a step by ever letting her get involved with Buttcrack Hussein’s campaign.
But only a super dumb-dumb would let Oprah tell them whom to vote for for President, especially if it's Barack Saddam Hussein Bin Laden Obama!!!!
Obama is a stealth New World Order liberal-interventionist candidate of the type that brought is the "Kosovo war". This is clearly seen by his choice of foreign policy advisior, the Harvard "human rightser" genocide queen and arch-Serbophobe Samantha Power. Obama is also a good buddy of the anti-Serb liberal interventionist Joe Leiberman, and both are in with the Council on Foreign Relations imperialist crowd.
So when Oprah and Obama say that Obama is the candidate that "can bring us together", don't believe it. As with electing the openly monstrous liberal-imperialist Hillary, electing the stealth candidate Obama will only bring us more wars and other interventions on behalf of islamic conquest, and above all on behalf of the NWO elite.

No complexity here.......just complexion.
Hillary and the bald nitwit..Carville, are behind this
to make Blacks the victims of Obama’s ambition? Never
believe anything you read, when the Clintons can be the
recipient of the positive aspects of the statement? JK
Perhaps Orca Windbag (her nom de girth)...
She doesn’t care one whit whether her endorsements cause her to lose fans.
$he’$ $et for the duration.
Since Oprah was beknighted by the media as “Lady O,” does that make him “Sir O”?
Oprah would never settle for Veep, or even Prez. Oprah wants to be the Empress of the World.
