Isnt it true that Oprah is only helping Obama because she sees a chance of a black man in the white house regardless if he would be a good president or not? Isnt it true that she is always in favore of her own race??

No. I think she agrees with a lot of his policies but the determining factor is that he is half black.

Obama is of mixed race, white mother, black father. I don't believe Oprah is racist, the majority of her fan base is white. I think she agrees with Obama's views...There are African Americans who support G.W. Bush, why not Obama if he was all white ?

Oprah's endorsement would help ANY candidate. Millions of people in this country would rather have Oprah do their thinking for them.

she doesn't just talk to african americans, the majority of people on her show are white, just like on every other show. it's one of the most watched shows on television, of course she would have a political candidate, not only is obama black, but he is also pretty close to her own politics. of course she wouldn't have an extremely conservative person on because it would just be an argument.

I think there is a racial element here...
But if Barrack does become President...Oprah better hope that he becomes a good one..
Because if he is horrible...it will come back to haunt her.
Remember she endorsed James Frey...
He played her as a fool.
This is a big risk for Oprah...

Do you think she would support him if she weren't rich enough?
What's your point?
I support Obama and I'm white... (and I supported him before Oprah did...)
Come to think of it, maybe she only supports him because his name starts with O... or because he's from Chicago...
That's it - Oprah hates everyone who is not from Chicago.... she is municapality prejudiced!

No, would ANY African American support Obama if he wasn't black? I doubt it. His politics are actually contrary to most of their beliefs.

That might have something to do with it, but also because she believes, as many others do, that he would be good for the country.

Would Al Sharpton stand up for a white victim of black racism?
Wait, we already know the answer to that.
