Oprah, who touted that she has voted for Republicans as much as she has for Democrats in her life, felt compelled to step out of the shadows and throw her support behind Barack Obama. She spoke of change in America, and a move from the status quo onto a path of normalcy for our country.
One pundit expressed Oprah's qualifications on state as being equal to those of Obama: non-existent. Why would America be required to train another president? Look at what happened the last time we had to "train" a president. We landed ourselves into a state of seeming perpetual war. Barack Obama is still cutting his teeth in the United States Senate, which is his first time in Washington as anything besides a tourist. He is coming into his third year in that position. The same position Hillary has held for almost seven years.
While Barack Obama was learning the finer points of Shakespeare in middle school, Hillary, as an attorney, was working on children's issues for the Children's Defense Fund, and in Washington she was an advisor to the House Committee on the Judiciary following the Watergate scandal. While Barack Obama was first starting work in state government in Illinois, Hillary had been First Lady of the United States for three years, while having helped run seven gubernatorial campaigns for her husband, including her husband's two successful campaigns for the presidency.
While Obama was emerging from political obscurity by delivering the Democratic Keynote Address in 2004, Hillary had already made her own name in politics as a United States senator from New York.
Comparatively, Hillary Clinton has more first-hand, hands-on knowledge about the workings of the presidency than any other candidate running--both Democratic and Republican. How many can say they have worked intimately with a president of the United States for eight years? How many can say they understand the finer points of successfully drafting comprehensive foreign and domestic policies? How many can say they have stood shoulder-to-shoulder with heads-of-state from around the globe during times of war and peace?
In the end, we must answer the following questions about our next president's qualifications.
Who can bring all the things that are wonderful and unique about America back to the table? Who can restore the belief in ourselves as Americans after so much blatant misdirection, hate and war? Who can make America great again in the eyes of the world? Who can truly build those promised bridges to the 21st century after we have been left so far in the past? Who can bring a unified voice to our shouts from the shadows of almost seven years of darkness? Who can bring peace where there seems to be none?
Hillary Clinton is the answer to all those questions. She is leagues above the rest in experience and vision. Senator Clinton knows what it will take to make America a respected and strong world leader again.
To the media, I say NO to Obama and I say NO to Oprah. That is their new campaign slogan.
At a time in our nation's history when experience is so crucial, we will elect someone who has been there, who understands the costs of freedom and the price we can honestly afford to pay. It's not a time for half-measures, untried men, or for "I think I can" politics. It's about who can step up to the plate and deliver a home-run, because we're at the bottom of the ninth inning, the bases are loaded, and time is running out!
Hillary for President

Great, atleast I found one blog that has right sense. Neither Obama or Oprah have little politcal epxerince to the play the poker game of politice with the goal of addressing realstically the common issues of taxing paying common humans. I hope you promote this among the dumb demented voters who have fallen prey for Obama and Oparah.
Yes, Nobama ,Noprah and For hillary is the best slogan.
