Star Power

uh, yeah, Kate... this post goes for you too: its scary to me that there are people in America, with all of our opportunities for researching and discovering the reality of matters, who still blindly accept spam emails and tabloid media as undisputed truth... maybe these links will help:

Don't get me wrong... everyone is entitled to their opinion... Its just hard to take a biased, uneducated opinion too seriously...

I couldn't help to notice in the news clip earlier that the demeanor of the Mrs. seemed to change as he embraced Oprah and then turned back to her. Something going on behind the scenes???

First of all, Barack HUSSEIN Obama, has only been a politician for two years. He does not have the experience to entrust the most powerful nation on earth with. It's not about race, but people like Oprah, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would like to suggest it is.
They don't care about his lack of experience, just that he's black. If Obama fails to get elected, those three will say it's because he's black.
But, that's not true.
General Colin Powel, former Secretary of State would be an ideal President. He has the brains, military experience and political savy needed. He's the one black man that can be and deserves to be President.

We need to vote what's right for the country and it's people. After GWB screwing up this country for the past 8 years, do we need another mistake. The Christians got him elected and now people of color want Obama, come one now.
Lets make the right choice People. You can't entrust this Job to just anyone! Not that we have great choices. Where's Ross Perot when you need him!

i've read comments from members of this site since America's desegregation America has never had a black , Asian, Hispanic, or any other ethnicity appointed as president of the United States, Barrack Obama is half white and half black he seem s to be honest so what if oprah supports him , i think Africa Americans have someone to look up to. Spending 8 years in the White House does not give you experience to be a Presidendial candidate, but only experience with the president,Monica Lewinsky can attest to that.

Oprah are show TV
What type the candidate are Obama they help from show time ?
This man they not have any what mean the White House , this are not America Idol or Best Dance etc......etc
Oprah try to take rating on her TV Show , or probability she going write book the candidate diet !
Arnaiz.

Oprah will effect this race. Notice how she changed the way she spoke? Trying to sound like a MLK type speaker. The problem with Democrats is they can't see the forest through the trees. They need a Clinton-Obama ticket now, give Obama 8 years of experience as VP, and then he runs and stays in for 8 more years. I mean, he is young, smart, honest, and attractive. He needs to get with the party and forget about his personal needs now and get the party in control for 16 years. Probably the Demo's will bloody each other up and then we will have 4 more years of Republican tyrany. And I will blame Obama and Oprah for that. LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE!!!

A cursory reading of the comments shows that America is indeed quite ignorant. I???ve read attacks on Obama ???because he???s a Muslim,??? attacks on Oprah for trying to be a ???Southerner,??? and even attacks on ???colored people??? because we have the sense to KNOW that America is all about race. Give me a break. I don???t know what Obama ???is???? He could be a Muslim, so what? Not all Muslims think alike, right? Of course not, just like all Americans don???t think alike, which is evident by the comments below. As for Oprah, she is a Southerner, with or without the drawl. Last time I checked Mississippi IS apart of the South. Now for the biggest lie Americans love to taut: Race doesn???t matter. Of course it does, why do you think we???ve never had a black (or African American for you PC folk) president. Do ???y???all??? (I???m a Southerner, too!) think that it is a coincidence that all of our presidents have been wealthy white men. Don???t be so na??ve.

I really hate this election I mean we have a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints (ie. Mormon) an African American (ie. Black) and a Woman. So now we have everyone saying the Mormons are voting Romney the Blacks are voting Obama and the Woman are voting Hillary. This causes a major error in the whole political system, the fact that people should be doing there research and voting for candidates with similar ideas as themselves. I fear that we are going to end up with a president the majority doesn't want because the ignorant are going to vote ignorant.

That's why I'm a registered Republican. Democrates are hypocrates and racist. Nominate Hillary and hand the White House over to us for another 8 years.

MoMoMan...spoken like a true Anglo. In fact it does have alot to do with race. We don't discuss the race of other candidates because they are white and therfore in your eyes "not a big deal". Think about it. Does main stream ever think about whether a WHITE person can embody the American dream of an African American, Hispanic American, Hatitian American, Cuban American... the list just goes on and on. No, you ASSUME they can simply because they are white. But when the focus is on an African American who is trying to assure US, who have felt that we have NOT been represented, its a shame becuase it makes Anglos look "insensitive". Race matters point blank, it feels good to see someone who looks like me, politicaly correct or not because the Anglos that have been in charged haven't cut the mustard...or the cake, or quiche or whatever floats your boat. P.S.- I do know what he stands for, as with all the candidates but its icing on the "cake" that he is African American. Oh... stop whining about not being a minority. Trust me, you don't want the REAL experience.
