Reporters only seem to back, Republicans.You guys cant seem to get it in your heads, Americans want a fresh start.Vote Obama in 2008

"The drums of Africa still beat in my heart. I will not rest until every BLACK boy and every BLACK girl is given the opportunity to succeed."
Oprah, who has said she has "nice white people" who work for her, is only a racist endorsement to Obama.

When it comes down to it, Oprah votes with her race and not in support of the all the nice white folks who supported her black ass !

This is too race-based, the glaring double racist standard gives me (you know one of Oprah's "nice white folks") the queasies, the caption under their picture might read "bwahahaha revenge is mine". I wonder how far Hillary would get saying, "I will not rest until every White Boy and every White girl..."...

The only place that reporters back Republicans is FOX News. Reporters everywhere else back Democrats. Someone who says differently is too partisan to see things objectively.

Oprah is a racist herself. Every black politician or athlete (Michael Vick) that do something wrong, she runs to defend them.

Every comment here is racist! I am disgusted.

Our Oprah who art a millioanire, hallowed be thy ratings, thy endorsements won, thy book of the month done. On cable as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily Oprahganda and deliver us a new Pontiac, now and forever.

It's all about her inflated ego and demagoguery. What a waste!

Oprah needs to understand that she can't wear two hats ... either she wants to be known for her spirituality ... or her politics. Spirituality brings us together ... politics divide us ... and when someone tries to do both it creates confusion ... and lack of credibility.

Im shocked to hear all theses people talking about race. Black or White we aneed a change. This country needs t change. If we need to move on as a nation we need to look inside ourselves and figure what we need to change. How can we expect other countries to respect us, if we wont repect ourselves.

Let me understand the comments. Obama is black therefore Oprah should not support him because she is black. Using that analogy Obama is sure to win because all of us "White Folks" who support other white canidates should stop doing so because..we are acting racist by doing so. Boy have we got a long road to travel before we eliminate racism in our society.

You people have got to be joking...Oprah made it in this white world and some how she OWES white people something because she is now successful and had MAJOR influence on just about every topic...? Maybe she has a solid reason why she is endorsing Obama...she is a citizen like everyone else. She has a RIGHT to take her billion dollars and do whatever she wants.

Are you people serious? Since when is wanting equality for those who need it and working toward it a bad thing? It's funny how you have White people on her calling Oprah racist, yet many Black people say she's not "Black enough". Don't be ignorant people! I guess Dr. Martin Luther King was racist too for wanting equality for his race. White people are not in need of equality, so why would someone fight for something that's unecessary? To ignore the inequalities that still exist in this country is ignorant! And for the dude who said Oprah runs to defend every Black politician or athlete, you are just Dumb and out of touch with society! Please don't vote! I guess the hip hop community is so upset with oprah because she runs to their defense! Whatever! Be intellegent! Vote intellegently!

I would not vote for Oboma if even one of the Kennedy clan was backing him, He's a green horn. I dont think he knows enough about all the problem's George Bush has thrown in the lap's of the american people to even begin solving problem's. and I also believe Oprah is backing him because he is black.

Any Man/Woman who refuses to pledge alliegence to the U S and it's Flag does not deserve to be President of this great country! So what does that say for Oprah should she support obama?

It is time the people place their loyalty to this country instead of the parties, (Demos/Repubs) and start paying attention to the canidates character and moral standing. Don't vote for a person because of what they promise should they be elected; but for what they stand for and have actually proven by their life style. What they have done for humanity, this country and her people.
Wake up America the career politicians are selling this Great Country piece by piece to whomever will buy their wares if you get what I mean.

If we don't pay closer attention America will go down the road of the Great Roman Empire and all the other empires that have fallen before her.

Obama is simply the best.there is nothing Clinton or anybody can do to change that.Oprah is just saying the obvious

Getting endorsements and support from famous celebrities usually means little but if you had to pick one celebrity that might make a difference that would be Oprah. She has enormous credibility and has an enormous following. She will bring in votes. No doubt.

GO OBAMA!!

I can't believe some of the comments on this article!! How dare you say Oprah's endorsement of Obama is too "race-based." First of all, there are plenty of people supporting Hilary because she is a woman, so then, how is someone African-American supporting another anything different? It represents progress. Not to mention some people actually LIKE Obama's campaign and what he stands for... this may be going way out on a limb, but what if Oprah happens to actually support Obama's priciples? Also, what do you call the old money WASP tipes who continually support white candidates? They may not be "famous," but their money sure serves as a vital contribution... and if you think this has nothing to do with race I would just ask you to consider if these rich white men would be as eager to support a minority candidate... I think not.

Oprah supporting osama obama. Not a big surprise. She who spends millions to help the african children while we have children across our country who need her help NOW; who she just ignores. They make a great team of village idiots.
