I can see how it may hurt her ratings, since some people look at things through a narrow prism. However, I think the majority of her fans are fans because they enjoy being entertained, and her endorsement of Obama will not negatively affect her. In fact, it might help, since it appears that Obama has a distinct advantage in the polls. He’ll become POTUS, but still do an interview on Oprah every year - great for ratings!

Mark, absolutely incredible that you can pack so many untruth into such a little comment. Every single line contains one, if not several lies. Say it with me, Dee, Mark, others. "Obama is not a muslim. " "Obama’s Mother is white. His children’s great grand parents are white and they spend time with her. Obama’s mother passed away in the 90s, but Obama lived his entire life with her. " "Obama met his father when he was 10 yrs old. He was not raised by him…" "Obama did not grow up hating white people, he grew up in the WHITE COMMUNITY with a WHITE MOTHER, GRANDFATHER, GRANDMOTHER, and other extended family around the country!" "Obama went to secular and catholic schools all of his life, never a mandrassa." "Obama is a God-Fearing christian who is committed to his faith and his family." This is in contrast to McCain. McCain was born outside of the U.S. Unlike McCain who deserted his wife and family in 1979 to be with a super rich younger blonde heiresss who was 20 years younger than he was! This same wife was the one who waited and supported him and his family while he was in Vietnam all those years. He came back, and within a few years, he had a huge open affair, and cut her loose! It was literally with this young heiress’s money that he started his political career. Its all on the record and in his book. " Want an interesting thought…watch the movie "Manchurian candidate", then consider who is the true one to worry about. The Manchurian Candidate was not black, he was a white man who fought in the far east, was captured, indoctrinated, then sent back to do whatever it takes to win a presidency…abandoning his old life to be in the position of power for the enemies sake.

Oprah is a smart woman, I am certain that she was aware of the risk before she made her decision to support and endorse Obama. Obviously she felt that the risk were worth it. America’s economy and reputation around the world is in the toliet, and some backwards thinkers are still focused on race, while the rest of the WORLD has moved on. Obama is by far the most superior candidate to get this country back on top and I am baffled how some Americians would still prefer mediocrity over diversity. Wake up and catch up with the rest of progressive society!! GO Obama!

Oprah is a strong, smart, articulate and compassionate person. She is entitled to support the candidate that she feels would make the best president. It may have not been the best decision to publicly campaign in his favor but that was her decision to make. Her show has helped me in many ways….from health matters, to awareness about world poverty, safety issues, making the world a better place for our children, showing inner beauty, and so much more. I think she is doing a fabulous job with her show. I admire her courage, character, strength, open-mindedness, and honesty. I will end with saying that I was a Hillary supporter and now will have to choose another candidate to vote for. Plus, I am a white female.

Maybe it has something to do with that terrible helping people reality TV show she had.

Sorry, it’s not my job to fact check every comment that the blog receives. A fairly simple google of Obama, his life, his family and his career would be quite sufficient for any reasonably intelligent individual to see the difference between reality and conspiracy theory. Of course, some people decide they hate a person first, and then twist and turn the facts to try to justify that hatred, or are perfectly willing to accept as fact anything that reinforces their preconceptions.
