Maya Angelou is on Team Hillary and My Take on Oprahpalooza

Author Maya Angelou announced her support for Hillary Clinton in a radio commerical that was played in South Carolina during Oprahpalooza last weekend. This was being reported like it was a surprise. Oprah worships the ground Maya Angelou walks on, not the other way around. Angelou has a long standing friendship with the Clintons dating back to Arkansas by the way.

During her appearances, Oprah had this to say about Barack Obama and you realize how out of touch she really is:

"The amount of time you spend in Washington means nothing unless you are accountable for the judgment you made," Winfrey said. She said from the beginning Obama "stood with clarity and conviction against this war in Iraq."

"There are times that I even worry about what happens to our country," she said. "That is why for the very first time in my life I feel compelled to stand up and speak out for the man who I believe has a new vision for America."

"Over the years, I have voted for as many Republicans as I have
Democrats."

"When you listen to Barack Obama, when you really hear him, you witness a very rare thing,” she said in Des Moines. “You witness a politician who has an ear for eloquence and a tongue dipped in the unvarnished truth.”


First of all truth and politics don't belong in the same sentence. And secondly, DIDN'T BARACK OBAMA LIE TO OPRAH'S FACE ON HER TALK SHOW AND SAID HE HAD NOT INTEREST IN RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!


And the majority of people were for the war, in the beginning. That's not something to hold against anyone. Now its about an exit strategy, not who voted and who didn't.


And Oprah votes Republican? She voted for Reagan and Bush, and possibly Nixon, Carter was a Democrat right? Maybe she means in local elections. She is rich and has to look out for "her" best interest.

I didn't know that even Oprah worries about what goes on in our country. She said that like she doesn't live here. Do you really think she's concerned with the American people or what's best for us? If she was, she would know we need a Clinton back in office. Let's make history, father and son, husband and wife. Why not?


If Oprah really wanted to use her power, she would back Hillary Clinton. If she was really this knowledgeable woman her white producers portray her as, she would back Hillary Clinton.

You don't want to bring a knife to a gun fight and if anyone ever seen "Fahrenheit 9/11" or if you voted in 2000, then you know there is no way in hell Barack Hussein Obama will win the election. Hell, Hillary might not even win. But you can't stand in the way of history. And the current moves with Hillary.

I really like Obama, but he really turned me off when he said he had no interest in running and then a month or two later he said he was. I don't think he really wants to be president, I think he's just being used to take votes. And its all a show. And Oprah backing him, just made it really look phony. That's just my opinion. Hate it or Love it!
