Very appropriate response. I think it was in Sept. that Oprah did a fundraiser for Obama. In early 2012, it was Oprah who said "Obama's got this" meaning his re-election.

The original question was "Is Oprah supporting Romney" I found the article which said NO, she still supports the president but is too busy trying to save her network to actively campaign for him.

Seemed like a reasonable position to me....

I would imagine there are plenty of celebrities that will vote for Romney but say they support Obama
when asked by media.

and I'm not sure how they are doing it, but I've seen "I Like Mitt" posts (ads) from friends who have denied writing them, who wouldn't vote for Mitt in a zillion years. Some kind of hack job, I suppose, from the few morans online who have some skills.

...Granted, many of us hope there is more change in Obama's second term, HOWEVER, a Rmoney Presidency would be hopeless and dramatically change - for the worse - of the direction of this country.

NO, Ms. Oprah has several things to answer for - Dr. Phil specifically - but a Rmoney sycophant? Nope. Facebook bullshit.

Every time FB stock drops in value, an angel gets their hoodie.
