.S. chatshow queen Oprah Winfrey has confirmed she will support U.S. presidential hopeful Barack Obama on the night he is crowned America's Democratic party leader.

The TV icon has championed the Illinois senator throughout his campaign, speaking out on her daily chatshow to urge people to vote for the politician.

Winfrey came under fire from female fans after she refused to back Hillary Clinton - the first woman to run for U.S. presidency - before the politician lost the race to become the Democrat presidential candidate to her rival Obama earlier this year.

And the TV mogul is taking her support a step further, by announcing she will attend Barack's official crowning at the end of the party's four-day convention in Denver, Colorado later this month.

A representative for Winfrey says, "She will be there."

Earlier this month, U.S. economists mathematically calculated the number of votes Winfrey had won for Obama - claiming she had won the senator and estimated 1,015,519 voters so far.

Just look under your seats!

i was a little disappointed in her avoiding him the past couple of months after her repug viewer responded to her support of him. she's got so much money what should she care if a few are only fair weather supporters

She projects a very positive message.

AND she completed a marathon.

amazing how no matter how hard I look, I can't find a name to put with the article...but it's from World Entertainment News Network...Entertainment and Celebrity news you can trust....well, all righty then....from the title of this article...methinks I wouldn't trust them too awful far...wb

she should not be there. I am sick of elitism in the USA! If Obama really stands for change he will have NO CORPORATE PARTIES AND NO FAMOUS PEOPLE, but only the delegates and regular people. I don't care if Oprah is there, but she should be treated the same as everyone else. This is the type of thing that makes people stay home on election day.
