As the White House was gearing up to sell ObamaCare to the American people last summer, Valerie Jarrett, the president’s pointwoman on a host of issues, phoned Oprah Winfrey.
She invited the Queen of All Media to join celebrities, including Amy Poehler, Jennifer Hudson and Alicia Keys, to meet with President Obama and discuss how they could generate publicity for his health-care law.
Oprah refused.
Obama had been counting on Oprah’s immense persuasive powers to help enroll millions in ObamaCare. But as the rollout turned into a disaster, Oprah didn’t lift a finger to help.

And she thought she was smart, money dont make you smart and dont think the schrool system does either!
They have passionately wrought this destruction on America.
who?
Anybody with on ounce of discernment could have figured that out early on in Obama's first campaign.
Put this one squarely on Moochelle. You can’t put two narcissists in one room, much less three. There’s not a room big enough on the planet for those three egos.
Obamacare is like a sticky booger that won’t be flicked. Stupid GOP-e will not educate the populace on how bad it really is, so expect boogers to abound on all.
Sorry for the visual so early.
The melding of celebrity and Democratic politics is powerful with the low information voter. It’s amazing that somebody as political as Obama would allow anything personal to affect a political tool he can use to reach millions of voters.
On the other hand, did Oprah damage herself by supporting the Obamas? That’s hard to see since her audience is probably 99.9% low information voters. For her part, although Obama didn’t come through with his part of the bargain it seems Oprah would still benefit from maintaining her part of the relationship.
How small minded and low class of Michelle not to play along and make nice with somebody who can bring in the votes for Democrats.
They should send her a 38 thousand dollar purse to make up....
She got him elected and her popularity took a HUGE hit. She may have finally learned her lesson and cut her losses.
Heck ya... How many Millions of her net worth evaporated after Conservative Women stopped watching, after she endorsed Da-Wone and she started her own network to try to get around those losses ( IMHO they watched because let's face it is was a women's show 1st and for-most ) How many Conservative Women did she loose by not having Sarah Palin on ( She refused ) in the Fall of 08' only to have her on after the election and then she was snarky as all H@!! to boot to Sarah?

Just wow. As if all the help in the world from every celeb could make this anything other than what it is, a disaster.
Everyone has some degree of standards and there are some things that nobody would do.
They voted for this they can live with it, they can have it and if these so called stars want to push it then have it first.
She could pay for a lot poor people’s health needs from her billions.
...Mooch & Val been dissing on the Queen.
