Obama/Oprah 2008
Oprah Whinfrey will impress opon her very impressionable fans to vote for Barack Obama. This is the most influential backing rest assured. No other celebrity, not even a former president has more influence than Oprah Winfrey. Well maybe Rosie O‘Donnell has more influence… That was a joke. Oprah Winfrey is one of the most upheld people in television history. I personally can’t stand the show, but I see why she is so popular. This women has the power to turn a crappy book into a million seller within a week. She is the ultimate puppeteer. Dr. Phil is also inpressive in the regards. I actually say a show where 15 minutes of it was an ad for a Sony Handycam… I am not talking during the commercial breaks… this was the show. Incredible.
The only person who could influence this election more would be Ronald Reagan… But regrettably that cannot happen. I will be interested to see if fans just take her recommendation, or if their will be a huge backlash. I doubt she will keep her support subtle in the coming months and weeks before the primary. I could honestly see her touring the country. Actually I am predicting she will tour the country. Of course her network lets her do anything she wants… because she, I can’t say it enough, is the most influential person in America today. I would say the president has more influence… But, he does not anymore in case anybody didn’t notice.

That’s exactly how I felt when I heard this. And the scary part is, that since Oprah is almost every womans idol, she is going to shift the “feminists” votes from Hilary to Obama. Now think, I don’t want Hilary to win either, but Obama is the Republicans biggest competition, not Hilary. That’s why if Hilary wins the Democratic votes, the Republicans pretty much have it won. But if Obama wins the Democratic votes, we will have a close call between dthe Democrats and Republicans. So if maybe some man icon was supporting Obama I wouldn’t be half as worried, but no, it’s a woman. I woman that so many women respect and love! Even though I have less worry of Hilary winning because the woman percentage will be switching to Obama, I am worried because Obama actually has a chance to win. Ah, well let me tell you- I never got into Oprah and God forbid I ever will. If Obama wins I will never watch her again.
