Now I know another reason Oprah campaigned for Obama.
Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 11:07 PM by Auntie Bush
It's a battle for who is the most powerful woman in history. Oprah holds that title now...and doesn't want to lose it to Hillary. What ya think. Just thought of it at the end of the Hillary biography. Do I need to take my tinfoil hat off? Could that be in the back of her mind? A little bit of womanly jealously? :shrug:

Opps need to edit

2. Oprah has changed her mind?
She is now working for Hillary? Was she a mole the whole time she campaigned for Obama?

4. You are putting thoughts in people' minds
for which you have no proof.

Oprah said she supported Obama because he was "brilliant".

13. Oprah is the richest woman in the world, right?
I don't think she needs to be that petty.

Plus, I think Hillary is still the most recognizable woman in the world.

14. Don't know...but think Oprah when she "started out" was truer to Principles
of her experience than she is now that she's a multi-trillionaire...with her enterprises and Media influence.

Who knows what she has to deal with being so "Rich and Famous." Maybe little things like "resentment of Hillary" when one has EVERYTHING...could mean that one wants to get into pettiness and jealousy.

I have no idea what her lifestyle must be like with a Magazine a Show that Moves Millions in Book sales and Bra sales and the rest. Maybe, it all gets to you and you want to go after folks...or be a King or Queen of the ROOST. It wouldn't be the first time that Power has gone to Heads of folks who started out on a good path ...but turned to the dark side.

I guess one person's "Dark Side" could be another person's "Fortune" though...:shrug:

26. You mean I won a blue ribbon? Yeah?
Maybe I'll get a doozie award! Want to shake my hand?
Told ya to put on your :tinfoilhat: but you wouldn't listen.

How's it feel to have someone tell ya what another person thinks?
It's good medicine for ya. Now maybe you got a taste of what it feels like around here 24/7 when others tell you the evil Hillary thinks and what she's up too.

20. LaRouche says Queen Elizabeth is most powerful. Who are you to question Lyndon LaRouche?
And why do we not hear more about the LaRouchies in this election year?

It must be Oprah's doing. Or maybe Kirstie Alley's? Oh wait, that's Scientology.

Damn, I'm confused.

Isn't Martha Stewart up there anymore?

21. I disagree. Each woman attracts a different type of admirer.
I watch Hillary because I'm drawn to the dynamics of politics. I quit watching Oprah because it's self-indulgent crap most of the time, tinged with voyeurism.

Also, Dr. Phil is the biggest suck-a** joke of a psychologist or whatever he is. Why would anyone give him a venue? Jeez.

23. Oprah the most powerful woman in history??
She's an embarrassment to America. I will never forget when she ranted and raved about going to Hermes in Paris after closing time, and they wouldn't keep the store open for her. Such class. :sarcasm:

27. mark penn- the oprah audience will vote for clinton-bill clinton.
neither woman will be the most powerful in history.

personally i think oprah is over rated but i have to admit she`s popular. although i disagree with
with hillary on many issues, i will not have a problem voting for her in the general election

32. Then why didn't Oprah run for president herself?
She'd have a good shot at it. She has the money. Michael Moore tried to get her to run. I think you're way off base.

34. For goodness sake don't give her credit for using her head!
Women can't do that, can they? She must have married into money, right, cause she could not have
figured out how to make it on her own?

37. Told you to put your tinfoil hat on...but nooooo, you wouldn't listen.
So what's it feel like to have someone tell you what another person thinks?
People around here are constantly reading Hillary's mind and telling us of some devious thing she really meant. I've complained about it regularly and this was my opportunity to show you how irritating and maddening that is.
So how do you like it? Isn' it frustrating? Maybe I'll post that same post every time someone shows their psychic ability in reading Hillary's mind.
