Oh dear! Did you not know that under Democrat Clinton the nation had a surplus that under Bush has turned into the biggest deficit ever? Try the White House web page - search Clinton. Opening lines say the nation had unprecedented peace and prosperity. The country is such a mess now that whoever wins will have a difficult time, but under the Republicans we got this mess. It's time for a change.

Oprah is a liberal!? OMG! That is just terrible! Liberals, how horrible! Yucky! What CANCER! Run for your lives!
Hey, wait... wasn't Jesus crucified for being the greatest liberal of all time?
What really worries me is the apparent number of you out there that are misinformed and/or uninformed (like Mr. Obama is the reason for the stock market crisis) or are focusing on just one issue (like Miss Boo-hoo Pro-Life on here). You are a bunch of mindless sheep.
Republicans, Democrats, Liberals... belly aching. I'm not any of those things because I can think for myself.
Far as I'm concerned whoever can secure my financial future while staying out of my wallet and bedroom has my vote.

Oprah has achieved the level of success that she has by voicing her opinions on various issues. You have loved her and supported her as long as you felt that she agreed with you. Of course now that you realize that Oprah is not to be controlled by you, you have become upset. Wake up! Get over it. This is America, the land of the free and the home of the brave. Yes Oprah is an African American woman, she is entitled to endorse whomever she pleases. You may withdraw your support from her but many others will step up and support her just as we have and will continue to support "President" Barack Hussein Obama.

Several years ago I actually had a lot of respect for Oprah. Not anymore! Excluding her obvious racism and bias toward anything that doesn't fit her prejudiced liberal agenda, she is pathetic. She pretends to be tolerant but is actually just the opposite.
She pretends to be pro women’s rights - unless that is, if the women differ from her in ideology or skin color. Speaking of skin color, surely she is aware there is a genocide taking place on African American babies (by the millions) - right here in the USA?!? The percentage of black unborn babies aborted exceeds that of whites by far. I guess to her they are considered casualties to be expected in her pursuit of …. What? What is it she is pursuing anyway? She pretends to be a child advocate but has no problem whatsoever supporting Obama who has promised to enact the Freedom of Choice Act which gives every woman the right to kill her unborn child, at the taxpayers expense. Even if by some miracle the baby were to survive an abortion (let’s call it what it really is - an “attempted murder”) and live - Obama wants to make sure it (the baby) is denied it’s constitutional right to life. Oprah supports this insanity and still tries to pass herself off as a compassionate Christian advocate of childrens rights and womens rights.
(WAKE UP ALERT: NO ONE - MALE OR FEMALE - HAS A RIGHT TO END AN INNOCENT LIFE!)
On what level has she bonded with Obama to the point that she is willing to coldly dismiss these innocent victims of every race? Skin color is only a pigmentation - but obviously not so to racists. Doesn’t she know her ancestors were slaves, but not Obama’s. His mother was Caucasian; his father was African KENYAN. The ancestors of African Kenyans helped enslave her ancestors. They don’t share a heritage of slavery.
I can’t pretend to understand her logic. I guess her billions of $$$ have removed her from reality. Does she have enough $$$ to resuscitate the economy when Obama’s “tax businesses till they drop” and “redistribute the wealth” policies choke the life out our economy? Will her money or popularity help if we are attacked by terrorists? Can it take the place of Obama’s lack of experience on these key issues?
She can throw all her support behind Obama (giving him airtime on her show while denying the same to McCain/Palin - strange that we haven’t heard from anyone who supports the Fairness Doctrine on this injustice?) but in the end all her money and clout won’t matter because truth can’t be bought or destroyed. I truly pity her and hope she and her followers wake up before it’s too late.

Oprah and Obama might have a thing going on. Michelle Obama needs to keep her eye on those two.
Obama's "SPREAD THE WEALTH - SOCIALISM" will be a good thing for Oprah salary. Oprah's tax amount will help a number of individuals get some of thse FREE - SPREAD THE WEALTH CHECKS.
On the street, people are looking forward to getting those
"Free - Spread the Wealth - Socialism checks."

Do any of you people know why the market is falling. Do you know why people are unloading their stocks. I can give you the reason for millions of shares being unloaded on the market. The anticipation of a Obomo being President. You going to see a lot more unloaded in the coming days. Get ready the worst is yet to come. You cannot talk about taxes the company and expect the share holder not to respond.

Powell's endorsement was expected, no hurt for McCain no gain for Obama. Obama the antiwar senator is now offering a position to Powell in the white house the secretary of state that agreed to go in Iraq. I respect Powell but I don't think was a smart choice of him endorsing Obama. Five previous secretary of states endorsed McCain, thus Powell does not hurt him and actually might benefit McCain-Palin ticket, because Obama has been hitting McCain for being close to George Bush, and no one was closer to George Bush than Powell first few years of Bush Administration.

John McCain and his ignorant and closeted biggot running mate have as of late really become nothing but a disgrace and a mockery. They are a shame to common human decency and respect. After all that loud talk of how he is honorable and a fair campaigner, he finally showed who he really is by going so low, and I bet that is the same kind of temprament and character he is going to present as a president. Worse than Bush!!!

They may be bad, when people take a look at those make the endorsements, their past records, achievements, loyalty, flip-flopping, life style, wealth, ethics, and philosophy of life in general, socialism or communism in disguise. Was Colin Powell a Democrat or a Republican, did he work for George Bush, and did he defend George Bush on the decision iniate the war in Iraq? Did he, as a Secretary of States, advise Bush to go ahead with the war?
