Oprah & Obama in Des Moines - Introduction

[tygersflowerz]

I would vote for Oprah. :-)

[anudude]

did you see how he greets his audience first, taking his time, then he meets the people on the stage. This shows he really cares about the people and wants to win.

[missyandtom]

Was she putting on her best Bill Clinton impersonation??? That was kind of weird the way she was talking. I'm glad she endorsed him, but... Why did the "O" have to put on such a dramatic show?

[itubeutude]

I wonder if he'd be the one if he was white.

[banjojambo9]

The American fascist would prefer not to use violence. His method is to poison the channels of public information. With a fascist the problem is never how best to present the truth to the public but how best to use the news to deceive the public into giving the fascist and his group more money or more power.

[banjojambo9]

Barack Obama says he has been deeply influenced by his church, Trinity UCC on Chicago's South Side, and its senior pastor, Jeremiah Wright.

[jdraughn02]

Your icredible courage is refreshing...

I hope the two of you will continue to do good deeds...

[jdraughn02]

Obama/Oprah: Your incredible courage

is freshing...

Continue To Make God Smile!!

[jdraughn02]

Dear Obama: I hope your courage will touch the lives of many...

Dear Oprah: I hope you will continue to let your light Shine!

[jdraughn02]

Obama: I hope that your COURAGE will leave

a positive affect on many lives...

Oprah: Continue to do good deeds, continue to let your light shine! God gave it and the world can't take it away....

[jdraughn02]

As I read the racist and degrading comments..

I am more certain than ever that we the people are in terrible trouble... With this attitude we can expect more hurricanes, more wars etc.. Obama: God Bless Your Courage: Oprah:Continue to pursue endeavors from your heart, for it is only he that you must satisfy. Continue to: Make God Smile!

[bbrain14]

Your mind is in the gutter dude! thats not the point, her intentions arent bad.

[HuckleBuckle1]

I guess that explains why America went downhill when George W. became President!

[ALIANZALIMA88]

A question to Obama, Would you condone someone that would support you, just 'cuz you're black and not because of your ideas? Because Oprah once said, she would support you or Condelice Rice if any of you would run for president. Now Obama and Rice are two worlds apart in their ideas and policies, so that means that Oprah would endorse any of you just 'cuz you two are black, That's racist and is making this a race issue!

[TV337]

Oprah you keep on losing more fans. STOP SUPPORTING OBAMA NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[abombinreverse]

its not that obama is USING oprah...shes smitten with him.its embarassing to see her talk about him because its nothing more than a school girl crush.and she gives no reason why she likes him.

[DocBee2000]

The key to a prosperous future in this nation is education. Obama realizes that in order for us to regain our standing in the economic world we need to educate are children properly, so they have the skills to compete in the world abroad. Thus, less people on welfare and a greater chance for social security being reformed. The federal government cant just set standards and remain passive as this past administration. Obama knows better!

[marjay11]

I wish I knew who I would be voting for nest year.

Nobody has imprtessed me so far...

[Kowneyn]

American multiple-Emmy Award winning host of The Oprah Winfrey Show, the highest-rated talk show in television history.She is also an influential book critic, an Academy Award-nominated actress, and a magazine publisher. She has been ranked the richest African American of the 20th century, the most philanthropic African American of all time, and the world's only black billionaire for three straight years. She is also, according to some assessments, the most influential woman in the world.

[abelevine]

OPRAH for president! You are the ONE!

[setzine]

OBAMA is for change and hope. HILLARY is for things staying the same. Just look at the dirty divisive mudslinging in recent days criticizing Obama when he was in kindergarten and when he was a teenager. Didn't Bill also smoke marijuana and tell us he didn't inhale - like we believe him? VOTE OBAMA.

[RenaissanceRoss]

ur right about hilary but wrong about obama. Obama is a member of the Council of Foreign Relations which clearly supports the New World Order. kucinich, paul, and gravel are our only hope.

[AWKING41]

Obama is nothing more than a socialist

[itubeutude]

what is oprah for?....more money?

[ttime2004]

democracy will fail again. Obama will lose election to old white politician with big account supported by big companies someone like Mr. Bush or the terminator guy. this is democracy. stop dreamin' ppl be realistic.

[andante24]

I wish I could say you are wrong. All I can do is hope and pray that you are.

[stealth423]

Oprah is an overrated closet racist. Remember her comments about "white folks" working for her and her black power fist.

[kkkinbreed2]

dirty niggers! no coons for president!

[zeddicus12]

ya um no, obama is still cut from the same mold that the majority of politions are. the only man getting my vote even if he dosen't make president is Ron Paul hopefully it will send a message that our federal government needs to be down sized. the taint is everywhere.

[spires01]

Get a life you,Ron Paul trash!!!

[Himbeerfleischer]

Sounds like U2 @ the song in the background but not quite sure bout that

[teeftaller7]

OBAMA OUR NEXT PREZ.

[leestauf]

Seems they will only post positive Obama comments here! Your bias is showing YouTube! The dems are in a big contest to see who can promise the most freebees to the most people. If your working you will be paying for it! If not, you will kill the goose that laid the Golden Egg!

[debb776]

I think Oprah has overstepped her power. How about Oprah for President?

[voiceofuno]

So, Obama is the ONLY presidential candidate that has ever been worthy of Oprah's endorsement. What horse pucky! Just what exactly is there about Obama that makes him worthy of this high distinction? Could it be that he is BLACK? Absolutely! For one, I was taking a good look at him until this piece of prejudicial egotism came out. The ONLY one worthy...! Barf!

voiceofuno

[GIPIMP26]

RON PAUL

* Hard Work and Strong Families

* Proud to Serve with Honor

* 40 Years, 4,000 Babies

* A True Friend of Freedom

* Reduce Taxes, Grow the Economy & Strengthen the Middle Class

* Border Security & Immigration

* Defending America -- Keeping Us Strong

* Healthcare Reform and America's Health Freedom

[ZoxMan555]

Oprah and Usher are only supporting Obama because he is black.

[LughLamfhada]

Since when did Oprah turn into a Baptist preacher? Why is she talking like this? With the "y'alls" and the Jesse Jackson-esque speech patterns? Please, I'm begging all of you, don't be brainwashed by Oprah's foolish rhetoric.

[stars18000]

Ok we do understand you're against Obama!

[crazycoolone]

LOL!!!! She's from Kosiusko, MISSISSIPPI. You're funny. Black people have various dialects that they've mastered from being in the US. Some are called "down-home", some are "corpo-speak", some are "street" some are "super-intelligencia". It depends on the audience that one encounters to get one's point across. Hope this helps in your comprehension of Black people that you obviously don't know. LOL!!!

[submissions72]

God Bless you Barack Obama, this country needs a savior and you are the one my friend God Luck.

[samalw]

Plase people! Obama is a lightweight! He also has Islamic ties. I would NEVER vote for him!!!!! Oprah is also a lightweight. Who does she think she is? Might as well be listening to Sean Penn telling me how to vote.

[iamtheteacher90]

Barack or bare back, who cares! He will never be elected, he hasn't the experience or intelligence to be the leader of this country. People are blind and ignorant if they believe in this idiot!!

[MalcomAP]

wow

[debb776]

I think Oprah has overstepped her power. Why not Oprah for President?

[MalcomAP]

I'm sorry Obama I can't vote for you

[MalcomAP]

I'm sorry as a black man personally I can't vote for Obama he is not inspiring to me and he does not move me in a direction to vote for him sorry Obama you most definitely don't have my vote I'm making sure I vote for either Hillary or Edwards they are the best candidates IN MY OPINION

[kardan77]

He has a great endorsement. Will he protect our 4th amendment rights? check out Youtube --

"COPS BEAT ME". Tell me what you think? Thanks

[mamachula89]

i dont know if you guys care but i was there and it was packed, it was a great speech.

[clemaleena]

Why don't they post comments if you not all into Oprah & Obama?

[clemaleena]

Can he win it on his on?? Another star on the band wagon!!

[clemaleena]

Get real, Here comes another star jumping on the band wagon. Can he win it without her help???? Not to say if I would or wouldn't vote for him.

[Notfreeloader]

Yeah...the only democrats win when illegal alien voting fraud

[pcj1]

America needs real change and that change comes with Dr. Ron Paul. Vote Ron Paul for President in 2008!!

[mayitaII]

Thaks Oprah, I believe in Obama, but you ..close the deal.

[JimPughEtAl]

Barack is awesome.

Did anyone else think this video sounded a bit like a scene from the Matrix though?

[DanishVanish]

That's the best campaign he could imagine.

If she's gonna say smthn like that in each state, there will be no doubts about the results of the election.

[holdingcompany]

To fuel her rise, Clinton has relied on the controversial funding device known as "earmarking."

Since taking office in 2001, Clinton has delivered $500 million worth of earmarks that have specifically benefited 59 corporations. About 64% of those corporations provided funds to her campaigns through donations made by employees, executives, board members or lobbyists, a review by the Los Angeles Times shows.

[6969wrath]

the same corporations and special interest that are funding Hillary are funding Obama as well...he is not about change, but you dems better get him in instead of Hillary because she and Rudy are the two most corrupt insiders running...Obama is better than Hillary by far.

[JimPughEtAl]

Barack is awesome.

Did anyone else think this video kinda sounded like a scene from the Matrix though?

[khalidhassan]

what song is playing in the background? pls reply.

[grietjedis]

That's U2

[glory789]

Vote for Change, Vote for Obama!

[Notfreeloader]

Hillary is just not qualified for the office. I do not agree with sexist comments about her it is just that she has sold out to special interest groups like her husband did and should not be permitted to continue giving away this country.

obama open border

[hrvat103]

he might as well take her for his vp

[irusin2000]

I hope there are enough intelligent Americans to produce enough votes for Obama. It's time we get someone with common sense, intelligence, and most of all, not poisoned by the ugly of the last few years of this political mess. VOTE OBAMA!

[COMEBACKKID62]

Love the song when he walks onstage. Anyone know the name of song/artist? Thanks.

[COMEBACKKID62]

Love the song playing when Obama walks onstage.Anyone know the name/artist? Please post,thanks.

[COMEBACKKID62]

Can somebody PLEASE tell me the name/artist of song playing when Obama walks onstage? Thanks.

[kordog777]

who running for president here i mean cant he win on his own

sad when u have to have celebs campaign with u

[aroc1980]

I am proud that a man like Mr. Obama could show all children of all races, colour and creed all over the world the possibilities of dreams to reality. What a brilliant, intelligent, well written and well read and wonderful person could represent this country and RESTORE it respect before it is torn down any further. Lets support the ONE who has true value for ALL people. He is respectful in many of our eyes. I am sure we could become hopeful again. He is an AMERICAN; isn't HE?

[k09dr]

Good speech Miss Winfrey. Endorses Mr Obama based on issues.

[lorettarosa]

OBAMA,has my vote

[chandodhano]

oprah and obama..she might as well be his running mate. a real powerhouse..watch him go all the way to the top!

[patstea]

this is extremely similar to the movie "The Matrix"

and Oprah is like the oracle, except are these all real?

only if the media is less biased, more justified, people have the live with the consequence of their actions. then, the world MIGHT just be a better place

[lorettarosa]

Meet the next president of the USA

Mr.Barack Obama

[wednesday55]

Congratulations to Barack Obama for winning the endorsement of Oprah!

And congratulations to Hillary Clinton for winning the endorsement of... her mom and daughter. Oh! And her husband.

[crazycoolone]

It is sad but so many people that do not want Obama as President in this country is ALL about what Race the man is rather than his intelligence & character. The US NEEDS to be more progressive than what it actually is. Will people in this country put a man in the Presidency who is not White?

[DTPWNYC]

Seriously, Obamah is truly the only candidate out there that has the ability to create a clear shift from present to future. The impact he will have on race relations, youth and society at large goes far beyond what any other candidate would/could do. Make it happen America!!!!!!!

P.S.- I'm a white middle-aged man living the American Dream. It's time for change in America so everyone might experience the American dream!!!

[chiggerlover]

if living in a trailer park and makin love to your slack jawed sister is the american dream, then you're livin it well.

[lorettarosa]

Long live Barack Obama,

The next president of the USA

peace

loretta Brooklyn,N.Y.

[zeddicus12]

are you f-ing serious, HE IS A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE OF A SUPPOSABLY FREE NATION NOT A GOD DAMN KING, TREAT HIM AS SUCH.

[yaat22055]

SUPPOSABLY?? ..supposedly is the word

[wednesday55]

Oprah's speech gave me chills. So powerful.

[newyork722]

orprah and usher r 4 him o yeah

[zeddicus12]

yes and if the pope joined in i'm sure all the sheep would follow to.

[spires01]

You must be a Ron Paul supporter...Get a life you trash!!!

[samhamels]

I think it's of HUGE importance that Barack wins the election 08. The president of America is one of the mightyest men on earth, if Brack gets to be the next one, the world is (finaly) gonne change in a VERY positive way.

So PLEASE Americans, do everything in your power to make this great man your next president!

[samhamels]

I'm not even an American.

I'm European, but It's clear to me, and to more and more Americans that he is the very best candidate. He has attantion for the issues of REAL importance instead unlike the rest of the candidates. Espacially the republican ones.

Just giving you and outsider view.

[magily]

barack obama is something new not like everytime the same rich whites

[LulaTarik]

Vote Obama.

[glory789]

If Democrats are smart, they would nominate Obama! Hillary cant win in the general election.

[markkorea33m]

vote anyone accept another bush or clinton, two families will rule america for 24 years saying that no one else is good enough to run America, vote anyone but Hillary, and lets stop this current term early if we can

[moneymac101]

FIRED UP!!!READY TO GO!!!!!All we have to do is wait for Al Gore to endorse Barack and we will win!!!

Obama 08

[skystat23]

i think barack seems sincere in everything he does.

[JohnnyCat77]

Sorry to spoil the party. All of this media hype should not allow us to overlook the fact that Clinton still has a strong lead in national polls, other early states like Michigan and Nevada, and a very solid lead in the February 5th "Super Tuesday" states. Real Clear Politics averages show Clinton leading Obama 50% to 20.7% in New Jersey and 48% to 20% in California. In New York, Clinton leads Obama 50% to 20% and in Arizona, she leads 44% to 14%.

[missy1e23]

I am completely digging this! I'm pretty young (23) but I remember the Auto Biography of Miss Jane Pitman and I must say that this was an awesome introduction.

[Jigaton]

I watched it live on C-Span and the audio kept tripping out, but damn was it awesome!!

[Charles459]

The only problem is that Oprah's speech was better than Obamas.

[justanotherdoode]

if anything oprah will win this election for obama. for god sake she is the most influential woman in the world..

[jonnyboyca]

awesome!

~jon

[mraymond]

Obama 08!

[2stiff]

This is about OUR COUNTRY not celebrity endorsments. This is sooo very wrong. I like Obama, but it doesn't change how wrong this is. Whats next...buying the presidency? Oh, thats already taking place isn't it!

[bar730]

"Experience demands that man is the only animal which devours his own kind,for I can apply no milder term to the general prey of the rich on the poor."......-Thomas Jefferson-

[patitotigre]

Finally, we have a winner! Hillary is continuing to lose ground. Obama for President!

[skyclaw441]

I was there! Woooo!

[eastwood13]

The only reason shes endorsing him is because they share a skin color...

[dontmiss]

vote for obama, even europe is for obama, no kidding.

[xorthan]

Did she say "I know you remember the great book by Ernest Gaines, the autobiographer of Miss Jane Pidman. That was a great film..."?

Um, am I missing something here? You can't be the autobiographer of anyone but yourself, right?

[bar730]

"Experience demands that man is the only animal which devours his own kind,for I can apply no milder term to the general prey of the rich on the poor."......-Thomas Jefferson-

[rustyroother]

Oh yeah, ohyeah! Go Obama. call me Oprah 832-367....

[Xone7]

Barack, Oprah, and Michelle rocked the house!!! I was moved! PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA!

[fourtyfrets]

We're going to have a black president!

!!!

Barack is so damn exciting.

[sarathj]

In 08..catch the hope we dropped when Bobby K was shot,JFK was shot...!

[kjetil1979]

Great that Oprah fight for change and new thoghts and not old fights from the 90s or this decade. But a candidate that looks forward.

[Desnoxvu]

I think Barack is going to have a positive upward trend through up to the primaries while Hillary's approval lowers. It will be close and it may be Oprah that puts him over the top.

[milkchoca]

Vote for Obama

[MessaicComic]

Oprah sure will bring a large female demographic to Obama... A huge pretty big blow to Hilary.

[dotME]

WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOO! She sealed the deal!

America, here comes the next president.

[Christopher0312]

Huge!

This a huge endorsement for Barack. Never, never underestimate the power of Oprah.

[saully1966]

Yes, please post the whole thing!

[MASIOKA]

Yes,never underestimate the power of Oprah both in a good way as well as a badshe is the reason I will not vote for him same with many of my friends.

[smusatto]

That was an amazing and inspiring rally. Can you please post the whole thing?

[alexebey]

Oprah and Obama rocked the place. Obama '08
