Oprah Celebrates Obama Win

2008_11_opob.jpgAlmost a year after calling Barack Obama "The One," Oprah Winfrey is celebrating his victory. During her post-election special--which will air at 4 p.m. on WABC 7 (and repeat at 1 a.m.)--there were guests like David Gergen, Rep. John Lewis, Peggy Noonan and Gloria Steinem and some special ones. And Oprah, who is excited she can finally "unleash" and discuss politics, also held up the Chicago Sun Times and waved a flag! Winfrey spoke to Power 105.1's Ed Lover yesterday and said (audio) that she'd welcome Sarah Palin as a guest.

Which is (will be) more influential in US - Oprah or Obama?

#2- well oprah gave obama the presidency. so she's really the big O. All roads to the white house go through her couch.

and she's going to be on 30 Rock.
Liz Lemonnnnnnnnn! and Gale with the large rack.
I like Gale.

they better expand the guest bed somewhat at the white house then

she'd welcome Sarah Palin as a guest.

Who?

Besides screwing over the country, do you suppose Obama had to screw Oprah to get her support? Since Stedman's coming out, we all know Oprah isn't getting any lovin' at home, though I suppose she can afford a lifetime supply of Hitachi Magic Wands to address her needs.

Oprah "unleashing."

(shudders)

I have always found Oprah's smug brand based on pop psychology and corny feminist catch phrases fairly nauseating. Doubly so when you take her shoddy goods empire and touting of that creep Dr. Phil into account. Yet, she has an army of followers who went out and voted. I'm torn.

Oprbamah will control the universe.

and all roads goes through oprah's cooch.

Maybe Obama will give away a few thousand Buicks.

She wants Palin as a guest now because she lost.
You neo-libs are so predictable! KLOL
