    No Oprah. Yes Brenda. I can provide the ideas of the people who "don't have it all". I am real. I am sure of my choices and I can pursued preple need Obama. I am retired and go on a short notice. I am loud and am proud and I am like most middle/low middle class people that can assure Obama is THE ONE.

    Obama and Black supportors reminisced wrestlers whose matches are pre-arranged and play by hitting under the belt theatric causing economic downturn just to win. So, stop watching American games. Obama's white supportors are insulting their own race as incompetent and incapable to manage their own country . Whether Obama will be elected his "super delegates", who endorsed at other's expense, must be sentenced to live in Black neighborhoods for more than four years to find out what they are really like. The democratic governor of Oklahoma who had just endorsed Obama must be executed for causing their tornadoes. The communication media of the U. S. are circus clowns not worth commenting on because they have not given honest election comments. Hillary Clinton, best candidate in history, can be identified as a unspoiling mother who has wasted her own $10 mllion just to warn her stubborn and ignorance daughter not to date strangers in the street. American voters in general are "blind" to good judgement. Call your mother! or grandmother! Happy Mother Day!

    Wake up lady ! There's a war in Kenya going on forever, and the first thing Oboma will do is send troops over there to stick our nose in somebody else's business again to try to solve somebody else's problems because his father has ties there. He's like a preschooler in politics "Knows Nothing" about running a country, and "Knows Nothing" about the other worlds leaders, he's never met with them, he only knows just about what you know "NOTHING" So why don't you run for President? The Hillary / Bill team already ran the country well think about how much better the country was economically. Oboma has 1 year in the senate of total politics, and for the Kennedy's to endorse him is no big deal, Royalty? Come on a drunken mistress killing (ok he let her drown) thinks he runs the world, "Lame Ted"? endorses him, is a national joke. All the good Kennedy's are deceased and we're left with the wannabe's. The media reports all the facts? "There a Joke Too". Oboma started the badmouthing about Hillary, so Bill and Hillary retaliated, to defend them selves. same thing as if you hit me, I'll hit you harder. bigger, better, otherwise don't start and the cry about it for the sympathy from the mental midgets to come to your aid. and it's not about race? "B.S". Oprah is putting allot of her egg$ in one basket. You voted for Bush to didn't you? "Your Votes Are Our Future" Hey Country you did a great job with voting Bush in and then voting him in again? Go ahead and use your some more common sense and play with your new toy, that may be hazardous to our future. Take the chance if you have nothing to lose, Haven't you lost enough?

    For all those bringing up Obama's church- are you really paying attention? His father is from Africa and he is a caring man, of course he's going to give to countries that sorely need the money. Does that necessarily mean he's anti-American, or that if he is elected, he'll turn all foreign aid towards African countries? No. If any of you had bothered to read The Audacity Of Hope, you'd have heard about his abiding love for this country and his dreams for its future. He's tied to the land of his father, yes, but it's not his top priority. And seriously? If the worst insult you can come up with is a play on Obama's name, you probably haven't done any truthful research on him or any of the other candidates.

    And yeah, Oprah supports him even though she's a feminist. BIG DEAL. I think it a serious moral breach to vote against someone based on their gender or race, but just as bad to vote FOR them solely based on those qualities. I am a woman, a proud feminist, and would love to see a woman in high office. I don;t agree with Mrs. Clinton's politics, however, so I will not be voting for her. That does not make me an anti-feminist.

    I'm proud that this country has embraced Obama, at least partially. Maybe we're finally getting to the point where doing the best for all the people in this country is more important that which party controls the Senate and the House.

    Obama is Pro-Abortion. Obama is Pro-Same Sex Marriage. Obama is Pro-Roe Vs Wade. Obama is Anti-Corporation which translates to Anti-Free Enterprise. Obama is soft on Radical Islamists (like all democrats). His church of choice,professes to be Devoted to Africa and African Americans. Obama is an Anti-Capitalist. We will discover more about Mr. Obama in the future. Can he have even more negatives?

    Did you vote for Bush too? here is a lady who try and bring a smile to any unhappy face ? She worries more about the children in Africa rather then the children in America. A lady who tries and bring a smile to any unhappy face by giving gifts for a TAX WRITEOFF. "PHONIES". Don't blind yourself !
    Did you vote for Bush too?
    "PHONIES". !

    Leave the lady alone, Oprah register to vote when she was the tender age of eighteen, therefore she has been voting for 35 years and its no mystery that she have been voting for only white candidates all through out the duration of them 35 long years, and now for once in her life she wants to vote for a black candidate and all hell is breaking loose; this is something she have never done. And Oprah is over a half of a hundred and who knows, she may not be here the next election; she is up in age and have every right to something she has never done. Try and do something you guys have never done, I bet 75% of you cant. So Just listen to your selfish selves, you have open your self like a kindergarten book to be read; like the hatred and racial blood that runs through your veins. Let Oprah vote for who ever she wants and you vote for who you want, and I hope she don???t say the same things about you that you are saying about her. People please just listen to yourself, how dark are you really inside.

    here is a lady who try and bring a smile to any unhappy face, Oprah has help more people then i can every dream about helping. You can not measure another human being by any mathematical device, the only way you can measure another human being is by how may people that human being pick up alone the way in life. Now how many have we pick up, its not what you say that defines you, its what you do. I look at it like this, Oprah

    For once in our life lets show all them old school politicians up there on capital hill who only knows how to do business as usual and who think they know what???s better for us then we know ourselves. These politicians up there on the hill is not listening to us, so it our turn as American people to demonstrate our authority and our dissatisfaction with these politician who we???ve hire and elected to serve our best interest; not the lobbyist. These politicians past all of these laws, but now! We as American people must pass one law and one law alone and stand on that law which we pass. And that law is zero tolerance when it comes to the best interest of the American people, because if any politicians up there put anyone interest ahead of the American people, and then we must give them their pink slip; because they???re fire. We are the real judges of this here American arena so its time to step up to the plate and be the human being we need to be for our children and country, and its time to make an example and send a bold message about how strongly we feel about the mess and miss use of power and the weakness of uncheck power that has took place in our country. We must fire every single politician upon capital hill and it???s not anything personal, its just business. Therefore we must make a stronger enough example for all future politicians to come; that there will be zero tolerance when it comes to our best interest. Let???s elect a whole new Senate and Congress to back this new President. I know, that???s crazy sense we need experience people, but experience people got us in this mess that we are in today. There is nothing to fear but fear itself. New ideals are just going to have to come from a new fresh Legislative body with new experience with a new belief for a new world, even though many of us prefer the old one???.. We are not items and things that can be label and separated, we are people and labialization brings about automatic separation. There are no colors when it comes to the human???s race; we???re just many shades of a tasty treat. Lets not let no one label us as black or white, because if they can separate us. Then divide and conquer is a cake walk.
    Let???s put the young guy Obama in office. Lets go new on the

    OSAMA Bin Laden, I mean Obama Been Barack is a Power Monger, and has a cold calculated stare in his eyes. Look in his eyes when he talks, just like George Bush, he has a cold calculated stare in his eyes and not of sincerity. Doprah, I mean Opera is nothing but a Rosie O'Donnel in a classier way and worries more about the children in Africa rather then the children in America. And worries about more blacks then the whites that made her the green. What happened to Equality? You'll regret another Power Monger in office. Regarding the Clinton's How much better were we when Bill Clinton was in economically? Look at the National Deficit since the Power Monger George Bushwhacker has been in. I voted for Al Gore and then John Kerry, anything to keep a cold calculated Power Monger out of office. Do You remember when Jeb Bush Illegally closed the poles in Florida early and was never investigated or prosecuted, and Chaney shot somebody while hunting and was never investigated or prosecuted for reckless endangerment, you would have been, trust me. Regarding the Clinton's... Just remember, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. - Rick Ferrusi

    sorry for all the double comments...I don't know how that happened.

    How come no one has brough up Obama's religion like to do with many of the otther candidates? He belongs to a racist religion!! Claims to be Christian but check it out. How can someone be a loyal U.S. citizen and the president of the United States but belong to a chruch the is "Committed to Africa" ? This is scary stuff!! http://www.tucc.org/about.htm

    • Posted By: jane doe @ 12/11/2007 1:53:37 PM

      How can he be for All people when he is committed to Africa? He is not for the people!
      Also, this really gets to me...Oprah was a Clinton supporter and pro "womens rights " and really looking forward to a woman running for president but now that Obama is running she is pro Obama. Is that because he is Black even though he is half black? I also heard she hasn't voted for 20 years...where does she get her expertise?

  • Posted By: champaigncr@yahoo.com @ 12/11/2007 1:28:09 PM

    How come no one has questioned Obama's religious affiliation like they have the other candidates? How can he be the president of the United States and yet be "DEDICATED TO AFRICA" check out this link to his church!! http://www.tucc.org/about.htm

    We have to remember that it will be Obama in the White House, WITHOUT Oprah. I haven't decided who I'll vote for, but we have to take celeb endorsements with a grain of salt. I would have went to the rally too, just to see Oprah! PLEASE do your homework on what these candidates have done in their pasts to help our country and not be swayed with endorsements. (Maybe everyone thought they might get a car!!)

    Jimmypeters--ten years ago Obama started helping underprivileged children in order to make a run for politics. Period. No he is not a selfless martyr at all. Everything he has ever done is calculated. If he was a "wholly socially concious individual" why did it take him until 10 years ago to start to realize that there were children in Chicago were underprivileged. By the way, I actually have worked for the social good since childhood--because that is the way TRULY socially concious people are raised. It isn't just a thing to do in order to get elected to something. Clearly you are simply another band wagon democrat who fails to see this show for what it really is. Ask those underprivileged children what Obama has done for them. By the way, where are HIS offices located? Are any of them in any area which underserved or underprivileged? I doubt that he gets his hands dirty at all.

    austin68: Obama got his start helping unpriveliaged individuals in Chicago's Southside for a decade. He could have signed his own checks finishing at the top of his class at harvard law school but instead he chose to help the people. Most people in chicago are aware of this and somehow you missed this... weird. 2 yrs ago was the first time obama earned a million dollars and that was from his books. So to say he is among the wealthiest among us would again be an incorrect characterization. I suggest you actually inform yourself before you go posting on walls decrying the efforts of wholly socially conscious individuals. Thanks.

    Still--is this the appropriate way to elect a president? Have Oprah's endorsement and you win? I think that there is something wrong with a society that will listen to a talk show host who gives away free cars and christmes gifts as the voice of politics. If Oprah is the go to person on this subject, why isn't she running for president. I noticed in her speech in Iowa to introduce Obama, she sounded totally different than when she is hosting a party at her house. All of a sudden she sounded more "black", and so did he. What kind of a rehearsed show was this? These two people are among the wealthiest of our entire society. While I applaud Oprah and Barak for travelling to Africa and wherever the hell else they have gone to help people, Chicago Illinois made both of these people. Ask our citizens in the projects how often they see either one of these two here in Chicago helping them out. The answer is they never do--and why--because there are no national cameras here for photo op exposure to help them out nationally. I just think that Oprah should remain an entertainer, and Barak--well--he should actually do something in government before he believes he is "entitled" to lead the entire free world. Kind of a tall order, when your only endorsement is a talk show host.

    The way our country is spinning out of control on the roof top of true uncertainties, I am ready to try something different within my life time as a human being not my children life time but mine???s; and if it???s a mistake. Then it???s a mistake I know I made and no one else, so I going to help try and put Obama in for president. And I hope as a people that we try and put a whole new Senate and House up on capital hill behind him, we need totally new people up there to get a fresh start; because we must understand that there is nothing wrong with starting all over again and we as the people are dead tired of this same old bull stuff that seem to never end. Its time for us to send a message not just to our country but to a world who thinks that we can be lead like cattle or sheep which ever comes first. Let just step outside of our comfort zone, even though that thought scare???s many people. But we must believe in something other then what we believe in, inside of the box. We got to believe in something out side of the box, because there is a whole world out there looking at us very closely. This must be a message that we must send to let our government officials know, that we want tolerate any more incompetence when it comes to our country and people.
