And I put that it wasn't because she is black because so many accuse me of being a racist when I say I hate Oprah, they can't seem to get their head around the fact I JUSt don't like her.... I could care less what color she is, I don't like the way she "helps" people out of her pocket.

I should have made that more clear, my apologies for that... the "sponsored" donations, I have no issue with, it's the ones where she give of her own "millions" and has to make it a circus that drives me crazy......... let's be clear on that one. lol
I don't think you're racist. I'm glad you got the point of my post though.

The *problem* is that when she does it, she is also a large corporation looking for the same media circus. But I agree with you, its irritating as all hell. I can't stand her dumbass road trips and all that crap either.

The problem is politics is about public face these days, not ability. If she were qualified for the position, as much as a person disliked her, they would have nothing to complain about. As it stands, she is not, and should not get a senate seat purely because she was backing Obama.
