There is something wrong with this picture. Now that we have a black candidate running for presidency, Oprah decideds to step up and endorce him. Hmmm. Now why didn't she endorce Bill Clinton? Was it because he was white? Thie purely appears like a raical endorcement especially when she mentions MLK's speech on living the dream. Does it really take a high profile celebrity to influence the way we vote in America? If so, that is such a shame! We need to listen to what the candidates themselves have to say and pay attention to their debates. I think celebrity endorcements should be left out of presidential races. If these candidates can't make the presidential race by themselves and speak for themselves, then they shouldn't be president!

Remember people Obama is a MUSLIM.......who are we at war against?????? Think about it... is that someone YOU want running the USA? I certainly don't. I don't feel he's someone you can trust. He's a cameoleon - he changes his 'colors' too much. We need someone strong, NOT someone who has to hide behind a skirt.

America is so Hollywood. He must lack confidence if he needs Oprah to lead in for him. The average American knows more about Britney Spears/Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton than they do about the people who are making decisions for us behind the scenes. They invite celebrities in the campaign b/c they know normal political speeches bore (most) of us. I am 25 and it scares me to think about who will be our "president" in 10 - 15 or 20 years. People dont watch the small debates leading up to the final showdown. We log on the internet, Google the candidates name and let some CNN or MSNBC report influence our voting. Shame on us and our evolvong love for celebrity companionship.

Ohbama lets give THEM a run for THEIR money?? What kind of racial comment is that? If a white man had made that kind of statement all hell would break lose.

All I want to know is ,where did Oprah get that southern drawl?

mod 75 - bombing brown people? Your a jackass. Are you including hispanics, and indians and asians and arabs in your "brown people" group? Could you be more general? Let's be productive here, I'm done with this

Comment: Sorry about the "typos" before! I try hard not to be racial and to not let race be a factor in determining whom I think is best qualified for anything. I am concerned about a couple of basic issues that have seemingly been put aside for a while. What about Obama's religious background? Since other candidates have spoken so openly about their personal thoughts on this matter, what about Obama? I'd like to know what road he'd be leading us down with that. And what about his family background. I remember hearing about some controversy with his family history that seems to have been pushed aside. As far as Oprah, she turned me off when she made references to MLK's dream and Obama being "the first time" she felt she could support a candidate (forgive me if it's not the exact quote). Is it her first time voting - ever? I thought Oprah was beyond all that. Unfortunately, we'll never get beyond our past with folks like her. Talk about integrity - sounds more like ignorance! Let's give Obama a little more time and a lot more experience before we put him on such a high pedestal and in the position to be the leader of our country. By the way, I'm sure all of this will qualify for a story on "Entertainment Tonight."

Oprah needs to stop playing the racial card!!!!! First of all... if she is so American why is she willing to support a Presidential Candidate who opposes saying EVEN THE NATIONAL ANTHEM ON NATIONAL TELEVISION!!!!???? Do we really want a President who doesn't even support the beliefs that this nation was built on!???!!! Whats more important when choosing a president? THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN OR HIS BELIEFS ON HOW TO PROCURE A PROSPEROUS NATION??? hmmm....there's a thinker!!!!!!!!

I cannot imagine voting for a canidate who clearly does not respect thiscountry. In his refusal to not recite the pledge of allegience and not put his hand over his heart in love and respect for this country is unbelievable to me. What's even more unbelievable is he is growing in the polls. Wake up people, no matter what else you think, he is and will always be muslim. Scares me!!!!

I wouldn't vote for Obama because of Oprah. Although he was a posible choice before.He should choose his supporters and people who endorse him with a little more discretion Oprah rubs a lot of people wrong and it will rub of on Obama. I think she will hurt him in the long run.
