Do you Think it is Oprah Winfrey that is responsible for Barack Obama's Success? His popularity didnt explode till she introduced and endorsed him.

I think she might of given him a bump with her support- for -whats called a news cycle- 48-72 hours- but I also hear- thousands of people- within days of her support of Obama- called or emailed the show in protest- and many people cancelled their subscription to her magazine.
No. She didnt make a difference.
YuckNo. She didnt make a difference.
Oprah who?Yes. She is very powerful and is to thank for his success.
Of course. The same way the Chinese are responsible for inventing gunpowder.No. She didnt make a difference.
Oprah sure does think she is responsible for Obama's sucess! She also thinks he owes her a trip "downtown", where Steadman fears to venture...Yes. She is very powerful and is to thank for his success.
Yes,And becouse of that I will never watch her again,I had alot of respect for her,however she has now lost it all.Powefull,influential people shouldn't be allowed to do for him on national television what she did.
No. She didnt make a difference.
OPRAH ? SHE IS ALWAYS WHERE THERE MONEY !!! BARACK OBAMA I SAID, IN OTHER COMMENTS, DOESN'T NEED A PENNY TO WIN, MORE LESS TO OPRAH, SHE IS TAKING THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET SOME MONEY FROM ALL OF US, TO CONTINUE HER "FAMOUS" LIFE. SHE IS NOTHING BUT A CLOWN.No. She didnt make a difference.
She was one of many endorsements, but endorsements don't elect the president.Obama ran the best campaign in history, and his election is a very proud moment for this great country!
Yes. She is very powerful and is to thank for his success.

Yes she may have made a difference but she has the right to an opinon like every American. And if people are THAT pursuasive to just go off of a TV Hosts' judgement, then I am pretty convienced that those people are also DUMB.Undecided
I do not like oprah nor do I like Obama.. Yes I do think her big mouth helped, though.Undecided

I used to watch her but she has gone off the deep end with her off the wall cult thing she's into now...i have lost any respect for her at all since doing that and now supporting that anti American BLT racist...hope her show goes under due to massive boycottYes. She is very powerful and is to thank for his success.
She should've said, No!You've got to be kidding! Go back to the drawing board!I know she knows that he's never Governed anything before? It's logical as to Why?He's the first black man to run as Pres.and that's logical, but he's not the one!I bet Oprah wouldn't like being taxed! The liberals are rallying behind him because they want an anything and everything goes President and they will only get it from a Democratic Party! They don't see the whole picture, policy,protection thing,and don't want to work for anything!The Democratic Party will tax you and spend your hard earned money on stupid stuff! United States would fall, because they really don't care about this Country's #1 Security, We wouldn't have anyone to fight for us! They would be all for themselves! The Liberals will have what they want and the Terrorist showing up here too and America as it was United States of America would be no more!No. She didnt make a difference.
If people want to believe a patronizing hack like oprah, so be it. some of us like to think for ourselves. I reject Obama and Oprah. They are so old school yet wanting to be unaffected. . . They want to exact some type of revenge. That in my mind is totally UnAmerican!Undecided
I don't think she's responsible, but she didn't hurt either. Her grandmother was a Hillary supporter tho. Just an interstinf fact I thought I'd share.Yes. She is very powerful and is to thank for his success.
moderated...Undecided
it doesn't matter to me one way or another. I won't give her credit one way or another. She is on a mission just like Senator Obama is on a mission...and I don't think that it is for the good of our country as a whole....it if for their chosen agendas...I don't fall in that catagory and neither do millions of American's . They claim freedom of speech, but they are trying to shut us up....we are not going to have the right to have our children be taught what ever we think right for them....we aren't going to have the right to choose our own doctors because they will choose them for us, we won't be able to choose our own religious beliefs...they are looking to censor tv, radio and newspapers.....they will continue to take the pride that we have for our country and call it something else, as they are doing now......they want us to see things their way and their way only....and last of all....we will see the fight..fought on our soil.....I will though, tell everyone I know to open their eyes....and I will continue to pray for our country.Yes. She is very powerful and is to thank for his success.
Once she presented him to us his popularity exploded!Yes. She is very powerful and is to thank for his success.

EASY ANSWER, YOU ARE LIKE OPRAH ! A CLOWN !
Undecided
That isn't exactly correct. When Obama was runniing for the Senate----long before any connection with Oprah---he was already becoming very popular among the people, and it was his election to the Senate, by the largest margin in Illinois history, that secured his popularity. Oprah may have expedited the process, but Obama would still be where he is today without her. He's incredibly charismatic on his own.
