Obama and Oprah?

So, apparently Oprah Winfrey is now supporting Barack Obama. Apparently, this kind of support could give Obama the push he needs and maybe even win him the presidency. Just the fact that Oprah Winfrey has that kind of impact on America still boggles my mind. But I mean, hey, I guess she has conquered pretty much everything else, so why not get involved with politics too? Pretty much every source I have seen agrees on the subject; this is probably going to be an extremely good thing for Obama. It really does make me a little cynical that something like Oprah's support can be enough for a predicted presidential win, but, I mean, if it helps, that's cool too.

I love my Oprah, but I don't love her enough to let her tell me what to think. I feel that Oprah definately has a right to publically and financially support a presidential candidate. However, poo poo on Oprah for using her power to manipulate the disciples of the Church of Harpo. What is more startling is if people actually listen to Oprah that much. All I can say is typical American if someone votes according to what her majesty thinks. It has been awhile since Oprah hosted that big ol' fundraising party for Obama. I haven't heard any recent news on how she is helping Obama out. Mustn't be working to well, Obama is still behind Hillary.
