Report: Oprah Winfrey Doesn’t Plan To Publicly Support Obama In 2012

» 27 comments

This week President Obama officially launched his re-election campaign, yet according to some reports, one of his most prominent supporters from his first campaign will not be back for another ride. Oprah Winfrey apparently still supports the President privately, but in 2012 she will not be sharing her political views with her viewing audience.

According to PopEater:

“For 2012, much has changed for Oprah. She now has her own cable channel called OWN that has been struggling to find an audience – she isn’t going to do anything to alienate them. Unlike in 2008, when a drop in ratings didn’t matter as much for the queen of TV, Oprah is now fighting every day to get people to tune into OWN.”

Without the public support of one of the most powerful women in the world, might Obama be more vulnerable to a Republican challenger than originally imagined?

    Big deal. The damage has already been done here by Oprah. She’s a BIG part of the reason why he’s in office now. I wonder if her ratings went down after the last election and her support.

  • Liberal Tormentor

    Maybe the tingles have worn off of Oprah too.

    You know O-Bomb-A is in serious trouble when the blacks turn on a brother. Are the hispanics next?

  • justanotherconservative

    oprah is finally fading away…. not a minute too soon.

  • Barack Must Go

    So now she’ll be slithering in & out of the White House on her belly, through the cellar just like that commie Van Jones and ‘ all the president’s czars ‘. Coming this Fall to a theatre near you.

  • TerryDo

    Now you know that would not be good for her floundering OWNetwork, and I am sure that is the only reason she will not be supporting Obama..

  • Obeezy

    Why else do you think Obama was with Al Sharpton in NYC last night? Obama’s team can read the polls, and are very very worried.

    most definitely. And she knows her overt racism and support hurts her brand and shrinks her…capital gains? Hmmm LINO?

    I gotta tell you her overt racism & capital gains is the only thing “shrinking” on Oprah.

    Beck isn’t gone silly, but after the 2012 election president Obama will be. Well he’ll just be working over at the Big O’s new station.

    Oprah is such a feckless conniver. When asked why she wasn’t going to have Sarah Palin on her show before the election she replied, ‘I don’t want to influence the election’. What did she think she was doing by having Obama and his family on?! Thanks a lot Oprah for helping put the O-turd in the White House.

    Oprah can do what she likes. It’s only blondes that watch her,and Africans.

    Oprah can do what she likes. It’s only blondes that watch her,and Africans. I have noticed that The middle east is dominated by crowds. The single person does not have an opinion. They have been like that ever since their English Masters left. You know it takes ten years to teach an African to march and shoot, but when you go around the block , he would have forgotten and the training has to start again.Obama should have started his dictatorship in Africa where anybody,and I mean ANYBODY can be President.Its the one with the biggest gun.
    These people will take generations to learn democracy.They have no idea what it is because they have never had it. When will the west learn that you cannot make an educated,civilised ,politically aware citizen out of a tribal warrior that has had their ancestors treated like a herd and not a single person. Its not their fault and I am not being racist,but it is true.Civilization takes decades to teach and more to love democracy.

    If you want to make a Lib rabid with rage (beyond where they normally are), just say ‘ObamaCare.’ Libs HATE that term…calling it ‘derisive.’ It is puzzling that they should be so worried about the name for a piece of legislation they are supposedly proud of. Libs know the term ‘ObamaCare’ is a noose around the Dear Boy’s neck because there won’t be ANY demonstrable benefits of the bill between now and when Obamo tries to force people to vote for him again.

    Glad you told us you’re not racist because I never would have guessed.

    Yawn. I don’t care what this person thinks or supports. However, I do admire her hard work and success.

    Interesting since he was on my TV at 5 ET yesterday. Fired is what happened to Olbermann, when you are there one day and gone the next. It’s not when you continue to garner a paycheck.

    Imbeciles like kvon aren’t going to let stupid reality get in the way of believing their fever dreams.

  • CAconservative

    Looks like Oprah doesn’t want to loose what she has left by openly supporting this looser. The overriding reason for her loss of viewers on her daily show was her biased support of Obimbo.

     I think more folks will quit supporting Oprah for her obvious opportunism than will quit supporting Obama. We need Obamacare and every “lib” I know is proud to afix his name to it. I can’t imagine what kind of sick twisted mind supports any of the GOP candidates over Obama. They’re arguing about birth control pills while Obama is putting millions back to work. I’d laugh if it weren’t so tragic.
