"Revisiting last week's assertion by the Clinton campaign that their chief opponent has been contemplating a White House run since his early years..." Did Hillary ever see that picture of Bill shaking hands with JFK? Of course she did. It's part of what drew her to him. Bill's teenage mind was not on righting wrongs...it was on the star-power and sex appeal of the presidency (and JFK) that had Bill salivating at JFK's 'hello.' It's always been about Bill..and now Hillary, period. Go Obama!

So...an obscenely rich, fat celebrity promotes a candidate who is the antithesis of core American values and interests and whose contribution to the wellbeing of our Nation is nothing short of illusion and doublespeak... Oprah just put the letter "f" in Obama's defeat. In case you are not aware, celebrities are bling-wearing trash.

Oprah is just a warm wave for Obama. My predictions is that Hillary will be the Nominee because the caucus Will look at who could better face the trash wagon of the right wing cult. Obama is to young and look too young.
The right wing cult want Obama to win because he is an easy target.
It will be an big error to believe that Obama with his ice speeches can win the presidency.

Well your untitled to your prediction, but sorry I have to disagree. I think the Right Wing would love to run against Clinton, in fact I think she is there only hope in winning. Sure they will try and dig up dirt on Obama, look at how well Hillary is doing on that but she has so much dirt and baggage they won't even have to look for it. And I know alot of Democrate's that won't vote for her because she is the same old politics.
One thing you have to understand is Obama is choice of people that want "change", not just from from Republician to Democrate. But from the same old politics to an open government for the people. And alot of repulician's are joining in.
His line on wanting to be President of the President of the "United" States, not red or blue but united says alot to me. Lets face it we are a great country, we can do almost anything together but for as long as I can remember, we have been a divided country. And we spend more time and energy fighting each other then we do solving our problems.
Take this war in Iraq, I was against it from the beginning, in fact I said before Bush was elected that if he's elected we will attack Iraq. But America backed him on it and since I'm American I went to Iraq to support the troops. I think America made a huge mistake but its our mistake mine included, so we need to clean it up together.
I will admit I disagree with a few of Obama's stances on issues but I do think he will look at both sides of an issue before he makes a decision. Like he says what I need to hear not what I want to hear.

This election has changed to modern methods, like bring on a partner. The partner is what, smarter than the runner, has more political clout, has a Washington self serving agenda back round, has completed Washington self serving liars school.

Oprah, daily dialogue is being in the public's face, serving out charities to no end, arranges solutions for lower class domestic failures. One would say she will bring her followers along and this will be a feather in Obama's hat.

Jose, do you realize that he's older than JFK and Lincoln were? Have you even bothered to look at his policies, or are you so blinded by Clinton that you can't see anything else? I started as a Clinton supporter and am a strong feminist.

Oprah was the icing on the cake for this event; he had 5,000 at a rally in Des Moines, he had 10,000 at a rally in Iowa City. No Oprah in site.

Republicans all over the US are switching sides to get away from that negativity and divisiveness, just as the reason that so many of us stay Independent. The slime machine wants to chew on Clinton, they know how to beat her.

I agree with D. Montanaro that Oprah is a "television supernova". Her endorsement of Obama will surely cause some to vote for him. Oprah is a woman who prides herself in defending women, but she does not come to the defence of certain women. In this case she elects to suscribe to Obama's alienated racist representation of himself as "Black" or "African American". Here is my point: Obama's mother is a white woman, his father is a black man (both now deceased, may they rest in peace). Genetically/scientifically, that makes him a PERSON OF MIXED RACE. Obama's black father abandonned him. His white mother and white grandmother raised him. How does he thank them? He rubs them out. He obliterates them and his white relatives completely. He proclaims in words written and spoken that he is "Black" or "African American". In so doing he joins the ignorant racists in the US and elsewhere who persist in labelling people of mixed race as "Black" or "African American". Such behavior points to deep alienation, a sad and dangerous failure of coming to grips with one's identity. Is this the kind of person Oprah wants as President?

Dear Mr. Montanaro: Thanks for posting Karen's note pertaining to my old buddy's search for me. I have tried to reach Jack (her brother). For some reason, the e-mail address you/she fowarded does not work. Could I impose on you again and ask you to please delete her note which refers to me as well as one of the two identical notes posted by me. I'm sorry for putting you to all this trouble. I thank you kindly.
Gérard M. Hunt.
