Star Power

lol Colin Powell. That is the model black citizen of most white racists such as yourself. He takes orders without question. He bombs brown skinned people with no problem and he's a member of the most unsympathetic party to African Americans. But guess what he never ran for president and if he ever had he wouldn't have gotten your vote. Guess what maybe if George Bush would have been in a book club and read more books we wouldn't be in this horrible shape as a country. But as long as we have citizens like you we will continue on a downward death spiral from the malignant cancer of racism.

oprah getting applauses because she believe..s .. i think its a moquerie, using of luther king words and manipulative , but eyy.. politics.. overall her performance has been a new facet that allows the "people" to recognize her as a GIANT> it is up to the "people " to see who they wish to run a country, or a country filled with a new vision run by superstars. .. i do think when u choose a president .it is important how he was raised, what his beliefs are, and what kind of fleas he travels with.
Think of foreign affairs when voting. a woman president would change the world, and its procedures. a black man president that may be muslims or not, certainly would not give the same message at the negocitating table. would have but little impact. because understanding context does not make you a solid negociator, which in my opinion, Obama is not. He s enlightened. but i carry the faith that he s not as strong as other candidates are.

Oprah Winfrey has made and overcome 'great' and 'many' obstacles in her life. What we as Americans and other nationalities must realize is that whether you like someone or not based upon their RACE, EXTERNAL APPEARANCE, and all of the other 'silly' aspects that we 'tend' to get caught up in... we need to analyze the good in that person and 'weigh' the factor of: did their efforts/accomplishments of good out weigh their 'mistakes.' I feel that we can definitely state this about Oprah Winfrey. Now for individuals to talk negatively about her endorsing Obama due to 'her Leadership School situation' this is just sad....
She is the 1st person to try to attempt to empower Africa and those African girls attending her school; so why point fingers just because of an incident... Maybe should could have had more security to make sure this type of act would not happen; but yes I do feel that she has the 'right' to expect her staff employed there (Africa) to monitor the well being of that school. She can only be in one place at a time. Lets all wake up and be more realistic and live the way that Christ would like for us to treat one another...He forgave us and he still is doing this graceful act on a daily basics; can we all just do the same when individuals efforts 'transgress.'
I love Oprah and Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pitter patter of a racist heart? Your a joke. Like the other gentleman said, I all for Colon Powell for Pres. That's a black man want to stand behind and support. Not this book club rookie.

hi

If Obama is to be the Democratic nominee, let alone president, he needs to stoke the emotions of the black community. I take issue with this statment! To become president he needs to appeal to the general public and shine as a model man from middle-america. Who is " bytheway" what our very Forefathers invisoned this country to be a melting pot.

I think having someone of such influence and wealth, position themselves as a backer of any presidential candidate, in this cas Oprah, will lead to a deteriation of the presidency further than its already corrupt monetary backing would suggest.

I can see a future of puppet presidents, led solely by those more accostomed to a public limelight, as any speechwriter can make an emotional plea to the people given a sociatial dictate of the curret affairs, What will we see of the candidtate when clouded by so much glamour and glitter I wonder?

A concerned citizen

The world has never change and the realization of it is getting sadder and sadder each day. Opera is a spiritual woman who feels the sorrow of the American people who are suffering directly and indirectly by wars, poverty, greed, hopelessness and so on. These are dangerous time that we and our country are facing, and if a person can???t feel that, then they can???t feel what???s really going on; one must feel the pain in our country to understand why we are desperately seeking change. And if I don???t do anything else in my life time, not my children life time but my own life time! I must do sometime. So I must have the courage to change and bring about change, so I praise the opportunity to support a man who I believe would take the country into another direction. There were two black men who ran for president. (Reverent Jessie Jackson), and (Reverent, Al Sharpton). Opera didn???t endorse or campaign for either one of these black men. Some people will never change and will die thinking that this is all about color, and they will never have the courage to change the inbreeded thoughts that separate them and their children from a great big old world. We all think we are special and think that this is all about us, black and white. I am sorry to let you know that this isn???t about us; this is about a country and a world. Oh and one more thing, for the new kid to come on the block up there on capital hill and to stand against the pressures of every single politician in Washington who voted for the war, and he was the only one that said no to the war. The new kid on the block with the lease experience, who stood by his self against all the politicians on the hill and said NO, because he knew the war, was wrong. The new kid has the heart of a lion to stand alone for what he knew was right . and thats the kind of heart this country needs not the dealing and wheeling of on going connection of special interest group.

This is a dream come true and over due .I am proud to be part of a race that prevails and stops at nothing.Obama lets give them a run for there money.

I love the pitter patter of a racists heart when the possiblity of a black president wakes them up like a bad nightmare. A white bigots dream is a black mans nightmare. And a righteous man's vision is a racists obstacle.
