Heartache: Oprah Won’t Publicly Back Obama in 2012, Afraid of Alienating Viewers…
Ratings trump devotion to Dear Leader.
(Digital Spy) — Oprah Winfrey reportedly does not plan to publicly support Barack Obama in the 2012 US presidential election.
Winfrey supported Obama’s campaign in 2008, holding a highly publicised political rally for him during his presidential challenge.
According to a Gallup poll conducted before the rally, Winfrey’s favourable ratings fell from 74 to 66% while her unfavourable ratings jumped from 17 to 26%.
Her TV show ratings also fell following the event.
A source has told PopEater that Winfrey doesn’t want to do anything to alienate viewers now that she has launched her OWN network.

what difference does it make?
no one watches her garbage network
anyway. bring back discovery health!!
Oooh, some intra-racial racism!
I heard that moooochelle was mad at that bitch because she wouldn’t participate in the lets move program. Oprah just keeps stuffing her pie hole full of happy meals.
retire, already.
PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE!
too late for her support or not. She helped unload this obozo on us and EYE for one will NOT be forgetting it.
I’m surprised that both of their egos can exist on the same planet, let alone in the same room.
Mmm mmm…. Nothing like stick-a-fork-in-it’s-done fried CHICKEN!!
So much for bravely standing on principle and speaking the truth(iness) to power…
Sounds suspiciously like a “filthy rich” capitalistic position The O Lady is taking there. “Alientating” viewers? One hopes they’re at least legal ones!
Better keep a sharp eye on your bank account, Oprah! The O Man will send his IRS hounds to sniff it out and fetch as much as they can. He has a reelection to finance, dontcha know.
“Afraid of Alienating Viewers…”
Too late for that….
OWN = Only Winfrey’s Needs
She is especially angry at Michelle for not letting her stuff her sewer full of fried chicken… CAT FIGHT BABY!
But..but, he’s working on a learning curve (aka on the job training) he deserves respect because he’s in an office he’s unqualified to hold. Geeze Oprah, give the boy a break!
She’ll still give him money and a hummer.
white women listening to a black woman tell them how to vote….
… and then their non-union private sector husbands came home and found out…

Puhhleeese. I never liked Oprah as an authority on anything and would not even read books from her “book club” if she was the one suggesting them; quit watching her show years ago and will never ever watch OWN TV. I don’t even let the remote pause on that channel lest I be counted as a viewer. This is one white woman who doesn’t need anyone, and especially Oprah to tell her how to vote.
When she started espousing all things wonderful with BO, she became banned from this home. I am rather surprised though that there was ever enough limelight for the 2 of them in the same room at the same time.
Oprah looks like a One Eyed Cyclop with two holes on either side of it. She has about as much sway on my opinion as a Hobo Qweef at lingerie show.
Honestly…she is the biggest sanctimonious, guilt-ridden, elitist snob to ever epitomize liberal guilt. She makes her enormous success due to her vacuous existence on daytime television stroking the emotions of scores of pathetic women who would do better reading books or expanding their mind over watching the daily chit-chat about the most superficial tripe our pop culture can pass from its bowels. Oprah…just be thankful you pull down more than the GNP of most small nations in the world each year, and please just shut your dang yap!
Every time I see her doe-eyed, rapt, child-like attention on the latest trend of spiritualistic nonsense she pedantically dissects as some form of new enlightenment she is bestowing upon her dumbass lemming masses everywhere, I desperately want to skewer my eyeballs like martini olives, and guzzle them down with some gin.
She’s a racial sellout.
Oprah doesn’t want her ratings to fall any further than the septic tank where they currently reside. In fact, her network’s ratings are even lower than that of the network she took over.
If she lost any more viewers, her network might be even less watched than Al Gore’s Current TV network.
It’s funny watching Obama being thrown under the bus. Pastor Manning predicted this in 2008.
Absolutely beautiful rants!
I love W/Z
Won’t stop her from donating a HUGE amount of money to obama’s campaign.
LMAO! AHAHAHHAHA! Just so funny. OP bailing on Barry.
*high-fives Myrtle*
Congrats Oprah…you now know what a prostitute feels.
Cancel her damn show and put some new, interesting programing on like “How to Butter Toast” or “Water is really Wet”. People will watch.
Better yet, how about a television program that shows us “How to grow Vegetables in Washington DC during the Winter”, just like Wookie does.
CaptainTrips, that was awesome.
I have no use for her. Never did and never will.
I have no use for that wh@re. Never did. Never will.
Look at that hump on the Wookie! WOW it looks like it is growing.
Moochelle and Opie Winfrey….two fat cats shreiking at each other over JugEars…..its hilarious. Moochelle needs to be careful, though, Opie can bite that biatche in half with one massive chomp of her jowls…
I loved loved Okra’s show, even subcribed to her magazine, and then 2008 happened, I cancelled everything with her.
You couldn’t pay me enough to watch her chitty show on her new OWN network.
Something funny: my wife came home the other day, around 5:45, and zipped through the house, straight to the land-line. I was a little surprised, because I had dinner on the table (my night-lol). So, I decided to listen. She called her sister, and my cousin, and with all three ladies on the line, she turned on the speaker so she could file her nails. It was like high-school, all over again. Apparently, down at the “hair place”, rumor is that Obama’s numbers are falling so fast, that many of his money men (behind the scenes) are becoming worried. They played all the tricks, the first time around, to get him elected. They have nothing left, and they are skeptical that he can get re-elected.
So, rumor has it, Oprah and Michelle have put their heads together, and have created the perfect scenario for Obama to get re-elected. Oprah thinks the country needs to have something to look forward to, and a sure fire determent to people ridiculing Obama for his poor performance, in public and behind the scenes.
Supposedly, Michelle is going to try to get PG, and try to have a baby before, or as close to Nov 2012, as possible. In addition, Oprah is rounding up one of the best Doctor’s in the world to insure that a “boy child” is born. The goal is to again make history, with the first black child born while the “ONE” is a sitting President. A whole new show will appear on OWN, to track the pregnancy.
LMAO! AFter an hour and a half of listening to these three, who, BTW were furious at the audacity of an alleged plan to play on the heart strings of America just to get elected (OMG), they all took a breath, and finally hung-up.
When my wife came into the kitchen, I acted like I had heard not-a-word, and asked what was up. She said, “Oh, nothing. Just girl talk.”
Pray to God this isn’t true, but if Oprah comes up with show idea called “JUST GIRL TALK”, I am breaking out the Capt. Morgan!
The Hussein guy once said something like “You may criticize my policies but you must not question my birth and faith.”
Don’t be tricked: If you criticize his policy, you acknowledge his illegitimacy as legitimate.
That Obama spends millions of dollars in legal fees and thousands of hours of governmental manpower to hide his “birth certificate” is proof that truth of his birth will declare his illegitimacy.
Much like when Beck lost me by decided to ridicule people asking (With boldness) perfectly reasonable questions about Obama’s Constitutional eligibility. Oprah lost me when she “bearded up” for Tom Cruise; letting him jump on her couch and pretend he was a heterosexual.
