They say people put their money where their heart is. She cleverly had BO on the show early in an effort to market him. She knew at that time that he would very likely be a presidential candidate. In fact, she gushed all over him and encouraged him to run for the presidency. Then she had 3 million dollar fundraiser for him. Soon afterward, she announced "I don't want to use my show as a political platform." Oh my ...how interesting. She is soooo smart. And we are so dumb. Goodness. And more and more it is getting more and more obvious, if you don't grease her palms or if you are not all about Oprah and Oprah's issue, you don't get on the show. It makes no sense at all that she would be okay with snubbing her fan base or snubbing strong women. I personally, would have liked to see both H. Clinton and Palin on the show. Why not? They are both interesting and strong women. She is enamored with BO to the point of doing things that seem incongruent with what she has said over the years that she stands for. She seems to stand for nothing...possibly deception. She absolutely has the right to do what she wants...including putting who she wants on the show. We absolutely have the right to turn her show off and to not buy her magazine. It is embarassing that we watched it and just assumed that she meant what she said. Oh well...live and learn. Turn off Oprah and tune out her candidate. Well, it is obvious where Oprah’s heart is. They say people put their money where their heart is.

However like many American women I feel Oprah has not done her homework where Obama is concerned. He has very little knowledge of how this country should be lead. Anyone who reads and watch's his speech's would find he avoids answering important questions. Mostly that is due to the fact he doesn't know the answer. I always looked up to Oprah and felt she had our backs. But now I feel Oprah is more of a follower and really doesn't do her homework when it comes to issues that are important like who should run our country. I wish Oprah would open her eyes and really research his history before backing someone that she sees from face value. I have loved Oprah for many years.

All those ingnorant woman out there who think that Oprah should support hillary because she's a woman shuld go back to school and read a book. Oprah has not been or will never be a femanist. She is a fair human being and gicves all her decisions carefull thought. In her oppinion Obama is the one who can do the best job in the white house at this point and momnet not Hillary.
