Oprah joining Obama in California?

According to First Read there is a possibility that Oprah may join Obama in campaigning in California

According to Obama, he and Oprah have been talking and she said that she is open to helping him any way she can.

He said that there is nothing scheduled yet but Obama said that Oprah may join him on the trail in California.

I always wondered what happened to Oprah. She spent a lot of time helping out Obama in Iowa but I haven't seen her since. I know that she got a lot of negative feedback since she was campaigning for Obama instead of HRC because she is a woman but Oprah always struck me as someone who isn't afraid and does things because she is convinced that that is the right thing to do.

This should be quite interesting if this indeed happens.

Doesn't sound that firm to me. She backed off because she encountered a poop storm and at the end of the day she's running a business. If it's going to cost her 500k off the circulation off her magazine she's going to think twice about it.

Watch out Puma, the Hillarybots will soon be out in full force. Today I discovered that they believe the surge is working!

If it's not about race why didn't Oprah jump in in 2000 and 2004 when we needed her? Toni Morrison as well- she never endorsed anyone before but made sure to say that it had nothing to do with race-I've got a bridge for sale in Brooklyn.

Obama seemed to have been asked the question ... "where Oprah" and h gave a vague response. Typical Obama ... vague, no real substance.

The fact is Oprah caught a huge rash of shiite from her women friends for backing Obama. She was flooded with emails and letters from all her viewers and readers asking how she could diss Hillary, and Obama responded like a shill ... she clammed up. No more campaigning for Obama.

Will she be back? Maybe? I doubt it.
