sick of Oprahs Winfry

Getting so sick of what Oprahs' doing that I cannot stand of watching her show. She pretent like she is caring for American but she does the opposits. Junk shows.

Oprah

Oprah is a pompous a**. How on earth this woman has risen to such a level of wealth is beyond me! Her talents? Who knows. But perhaps her power has accumulated just like Obama's power -- through the Chicago political machine.

Obama

If the democracts all get into the

White House and the house and senate, there will be no end to their spending and running up the defecit budget. It will be socialism at its worst. Spreading the wealth around from taking from the hard working people and the end to the american dream. Working hard to own your own business and succeed in America. Health care will be like England where the government runs it and you have to wait months to get an appointment to the doctor. With the cancer spreading with same sex marriages and immorality running rampet this nation has has done a complete turn around from the founding fathers who gave this great nation the Declaration of Independence. We need a man like John McCain a man of integrity who doesn't tell half truths like his opponent. The company you keep around you is very important it shows you who is most likely to get cabnet positions. The enemy nations internationally are watching us who we elect as president, if we have a weak president with no experience we will most likely be tested with attacks, but with a strong leader with experience like John McCain they will think twice about attacking the United States. We cannot afford to be tested with our economy weak we must remain strong as a nation then rebuild our economy. John McCain and Sara Palin will clean up Washington. That's what the democracts are so afraid of that's why they are running scared. They want unlimited spending so no one can stop them. Our very future is at stake.

distribute wealths

Oprahs should distribute her wealth evently within all types of people. She earns too much money from all kind of American and selfishly support only one kind just for her future benefits. what a selfish person she is.

yes it truth she lost about 10-14% of here audiance

Endorsements???

What in the world does either candidate have to endorse??? This election has been about rhetoric and responding to attacks not about any substance. We have heard absolutely ZERO about illegal immigration, energy independence, balanced budget & fiscal responsibility, recycling & conservation, etc... We haven't even had a discussion on energy saving measures as we bounce from crisis to crisis and mindless rhetoric between Palin's SNL appearances. Somehow, America has taken our eyes off the ball!!!

OPRAH/OBAMA

WE KNEW OPRAH HAD ENDORSED OBAMA, they both sat on the pew at REV. WRIGHT CHURCH, THE ONLY REASON OPRAH LEFT WHEN SHE DID WAS SHE KNEW HE WAS ANTI-AMERICAN and was worried about her business that her customers were mostly white women and it might hurt her business and show. Since then I refuse to see her shows or buy any of her magazines. Money cannot buy everything or love as she found out. She got over her crying her eye lashes out.

OPRAHS ENDORSEMENT OF OBAMA

I heard that Oprah lost 13% of her audiance, and has NOT regained it after her endorsement of Barak Obama. Any truth to the tale?

OPRAH HAS ALWAYS BEEN OUTSPOKEN FOR DEMOCRATS

she has been a big supporter and pusher of the democrat platform... she finally allowed pres. bush to make an unwelcomed audience in the 2004 election that actually helped bush... that is why she won't allow gov. palin on her show...she has pumped lots of money towards gore, kerry and now odumba...

MoveOn was the most important endorsement for Obama

they were THE deciding factor in Obama winning the Primary and most importantly, MoveOn's organizers put him over the top by winning all of those caucuses. Their 4.2 million members are integrated into his campaign - and that is why his ground game blew away Clinton's and McCain's.
