Winfrey on Obama: ‘I cried my eyelashes off’
‘I think it's the most powerful thing I have ever experienced,’ TV host says





DENVER - Oprah Winfrey is leaving Denver with the candidate she wanted, but reportedly without her eyelashes.

The talk-show host said she was moved to tears by Barack Obama's acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention. And those must've been some serious tears.

"I cried my eyelashes off," she said in the bowels of Invesco Field, moments after Obama accepted the nomination for president before an estimated 84,000 people.

"I think it's the most powerful thing I have ever experienced," she added, calling Obama's words "transcendent."

On the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I have a Dream Speech," Winfrey compared Obama's words to those of the civil-rights leader, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.

"He's not an African-American candidate," she said. "He's a candidate for Americans."

Winfrey threw her support behind Obama early — even before the Democratic primaries got under way last year. She's stayed active since, hosting rallies and fundraisers that even Obama has acknowledged have given him a boost.

WHAT is an American to you Oprah ?[/quote]

LET THE 40,000,000 ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIENS HAVE THE UNITED STATES?

I wonder if Oprah lost her capacity to be objective and her eyelashes at the same time....

Oprah and Obama are both racists. Ironically if Obama gets into office and he enacts amnesty as he promised he would do....the people that will be hurt the most are black people! Illegals dislike white gringo's but they HATE and have targeted black people.....case in point Jamiel Shaw. I am really concerned about this fact.....

In Mexico black people are considered to be inferior and are brutally discriminated against.....illegals bring this same mentality to our country and act it out!

I have STOPPED watching your show... you are now considered among the TRAITORS!!! Your support for a candidate that has absolutley NO REGARD for our immigration laws says something loud and clear to me. If he will compromise on our immigration laws he will compromise on other laws that he doesn't like... guess that doesn't matter to you!

I can't possibly SEE what YOU see in this candidate!! You should be looking for a LOYAL American who loves this country and what is the WILL of the people instead of those who SEEK TO DESTROY OUR CULTURE, SOVEREIGNTY AND OUR RIGHTS!!! Instead we have people like you supporting TRAITORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will NEVER watch your show again. I haven't for about a year...
YOU are NOT the person I thought you were! Those that support TRAITORS, IMO... are TRAITORS as well!!!!!!!!!!!!
