2. You go Oprah. We love you.

3. Oppa has the biggest ego that mankind has ever created. Malignant narrcissim. Obama stands for nothing. Yes Bush set back the GOP but only 2 years. The Dems will have the President, Senate and House and the GOP will block them like they did to us when we had the tri-fecta. Then the public will kick them out for getting nothing done. What comes around goes around. Unless politics landed in the middle - then things would get done. Ironically Obama "Change" Hussain has the most liberal voting record in the Senate and doesn't represent that middle ground that would get things done while McCain does. The American public is STUPID. Oppa and Obama Hussain are their heros while they have no clue what they really represent and what will happen under them. Who cares - they'll vote that farce radical in and get what they deserve - more political stalemate.

4. I am so elated with everything that has happen, and there are know words that I can express, that convey that energy, and what it feels like. I can say that I do hope that in the near future Mr. Obama can word on doing some town hall meetings to get in touch with people's concerns, and less on the concerns of these out of touch moderators. Furthermore, I hope that somewhere in this campaign that Mrs. Clinton is contributing something postive.

6. Oh course shes doing the happy dance! If this bozo gets elected then she can further her beliefs on the public and they can continue to follow her like sheep going to the slaughter house. This has NOTHING to do with his color.... his beliefs are whats going to turn this country into a war zone between our own people. I cant believe that people are willing to elect this guy after all that has come out about him.
I for one will NEVER utter the words President Obama even if he was to be elected.
His last name alone is a slap in the face to this country. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!

7. anyone supporting obama is feeding fuel to the racism that is rampant in the democrat party he will lead the country into bankrupcy and he knows very little

8. Will Oprah Buy Out The Republican Party, To Make Sure Her Man Wins The Presidential Race?

9. It is amazing the power that celebrities seem to have. I think Oprah has betrayed women to play the race card. Sen. Obama is charismatic, intelligent and even ultimately capable of being president but he's not ready yet. Hillary Clinton should have got the nomination. She may not be charming or charismatic but she is capable and she knows what she's doing. Remember Harry Truman.

Laura at 8:19PM on Jun 6th 2008

10. We love you Obama! It was somewhat of a toss up for me at the beginning...but because Hillary turned out to be a nasty-mud slinging harpy...and Obama was a such the gentleman....I absolutely changed my mind about who I would support. Obama all the way!!!!

dakota at 8:19PM on Jun 6th 2008

11. I wouldn't be surprised if Oprah was the anti-Christ. She must have made a deal with the devil....otherwise, why in the world would so many people give a damn about what one person likes or dislikes....it's insane..

Katrina at 8:23PM on Jun 6th 2008

12. I used to be an Oprah fan and supporter. Several months back when she came out BIG for Obama, I felt that the race turned into a Black/White issue, and I have been angry about this for months now. I truly have a trust problem with Obama and my advice to Oprah is keep the cork in the bottle until November, because it's not over yet.

Lois Zimmerman at 8:23PM on Jun 6th 2008

13. OMG Oprah, you're successful but get over yourself. This handsome, well spoken man is an untested, empty suit who stayed at a hatemongering church that you chose to leave.
The liberalism that abounds is amazing but shouldn't be any surprise. Oprah gets applause and kudos for giving away gifts that she doesn't even buy. Such the true Democrat.

Dorothy Johnson at 8:30PM on Jun 6th 2008

14. Does anyone remember 9/11? The name alone turns me off- he's arrogant and has the biggest ego- even bigger than Bushbutts!! I bet Osama Bin Ladden is laughing in his cave--USA here I come with the rest of the looneys & terrorists!!!

Jane at 8:30PM on Jun 6th 2008

15. Oprah, I always loved you, but love you even more! I hope you show up at my door...so I can tell you face to face that I did a "happy dance" too for our guy! I'm an Obamacan...I've been waiting for this moment though since I first saw his speech at the 04 Demcratic Natl Convention...so happy!
