Oprah Winfrey is poised to campaign for White House hopeful Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) in Iowa and New Hampshire.
How ironic that at this low point in American history, a period of so much hate, imperial arrogance, and the reactionary politics of the small minded, the most trusted woman in America is Oprah, and the most promising political leader is Obama.
A black man and a black woman showing a path to a better place for a nation paralyzed by fear and anger seems right.
It's a glimpse of the New America emerging.
I can't wait to see how this plays out. They say that you can never underestimate the power of the O. Good for her. I usually am not an Oprah fan, but she's putting her money where he mouth is here and utilizing her resources for a very worthy cause.
ReplyDeleteI have always maintained that watching Oprah is as close that some people will ever get to "interacting" with a black person.
