AMERICA'S favourite television presenter is paying a painful price for her intervention in the US presidential campaign last month, the Sunday Times reveals.



Oprah Winfrey has been dubbed a “traitor by some of her female fans for supporting Barack Obama instead of Hillary Clinton.



Winfrey’s website, Oprah.com, has been flooded with a barrage of abuse since the queen of daytime chat shows joined Obama on a tour of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina in mid-December.



Her intervention was widely credited with broadening Obama’s national appeal - especially among women - and with helping him to an upset victory over Clinton in the first vote of the election year in Iowa.

How come she cant vote for who she wants too like everyone else?

She can vote for whomever she wants.

What she can no longer do, is set herself up as an impartial, advocate for anyone or anything. She now has a stated agenda. That agenda -getting B.O. elected president over Hillary Clinton or anyone else.

Any stand she takes on any issue now, we have to factor in that she is biased in favor of one person succeeding and not just addressing an issue.

She is no longer the peoples advocate, she is B.O.s advocate.

These people get carried away with themselves. Think they know what is best for everyone. The problem is that many people would vote for Hitler if Oprah endorssed them. People who arent smart enough, or confident enough to weigh the choices and make a decision for themselves.
