I would give myself a good solid B plus. We have inherited the biggest set of challentges since FDR. We have stabilized the economy, prevented possibilities of a great depression or significant financial meltdown, the economy is growing again, we're on our way out of Iraq, I think we've got the best possible plan for Afghanistan, we have reset our image around the world, we have achieved an international consensus around the need for Iran and North Korea to disable their nuclear weapons, and I think we're going to pass the most significant piece of social legislation since social security, and that's health insurance for every American.

"We need a leader who's going to touch our souls. Who's going to make us feel differently about one another. Who's going to remind us that we are one another’s keepers. That we are only as strong as the weakest among us," she said, echoing biblical passages.

Winfrey also touched on Christian themes that had not been highlighted in Iowa.

"It's amazing grace that brought me here," she began, adding that she was "stepping out of my pew" - television – to engage in politics.

It isn't enough to tell the truth, Winfrey said. "We need politicians who know how to be the truth."

Muslim bent on taking over the world...

I bet Hillary's getting pretty steamed... uh - oh - not on the idea that people are spreading the "Obama is a Muslim" e-mails, but that they keep getting caught, and then she is "forced" to cluck in disgust and call for their resignation... I mean - HOW is she going to be able to get that rumor out if she keeps having to let people go?

WINK, WINK!

Oprah has waved her magic wand and Mitch Albom's newest tear-jerker is set for Sunday Night on ABC. He steps in to give us a preview, but asks the important question. What would you do? How would you live? If you had only one more day to give to that one person you wanted to, but never did... you would do things differently! 800.345.WMCA.

Society is pushing parents to be ignorant to the behavioral programming of their own children, and we MUST NOT allow that to happen. The world is happy for you to be too busy to know what your child is seeing, doing, learning, feeling, and morphing into. 4 out of 5 Moms on 'The View' are happy about this. The only mother on the show to lay down clarity for her son is ganged up on in response. Yet empowering our children to know who they are and who they are supposed to be, and to become - is paramount to their development. Society wants ignorant parents. Society, Schools, Pop Culture, even legislators want you to be lulled to sleep. Feed your children but do not train them.  800.345.WMCA.

"Due to overwhelming demand, we are moving to a larger venue so everyone who wants to join us can attend."

When did Hillary EVER have to move an event because there weren't enough seats? It is OBVIOUS that Obama scoring Oprah DEFINITIVELY outbags Hillary's use of former President who would be her future first lady...

What a different universe the Democrat primary is!

It will make me sound narrow-minded and rather sexist, but I believe the use of celebrity endorsements are really only done for the benefit of the female vote. Oprah for Obama, Babs for Hillary, Chuck Norris for the Huck-wagon. Says Celebrity PAT SAJAK, "Does anyone decide which candidate to choose based on the recommendation of a TV talk show host or a singer/actress? If any group of citizens is uniquely unqualified to tell someone else how to vote, it’s those of us who live in the sheltered, privileged arena of celebrityhood. It’s one thing to buy an ab machine because Chuck Norris recommends it (he’s in good shape, isn’t he?) or a grill because George Foreman’s name is on it (he’s a great guy, so it must be a great grill!), but the idea of choosing the Leader of the Free World based on the advice of someone who lives in the cloistered world of stardom seems a bit loony to me." I totally agree with him, and could not care less who endorses who. It make me a bit of a sexist to think that there are women in the world who would vote for Obama, just because Oprah fawns for him... but... I... do... think... there... is... some... truth... to... it... 800.345.WMCA.

People want so badly for the world to be different or for their kids to like them or wish so hard that reality wasn't... that we ignore red flags. The family of Megan Meier, the 13-year-old girl who took her own life after being bullied on MySpace, is demanding justice and jail time for the adult involved in the bullying. Josh said he didn't have a phone and so Megan couldn't talk to him. But the two continued their communication online, despite some red flags Tina Meier said she saw. You know that you've done the same thing though, so have I. We see something that should be a red flag, but we talk ourselves into a distorted state of reality. The question becomes why? Here you have a daughter lost forever because parents did not recognize the boy had internet access "but no phone." 800.345.WMCA.

The popular talk show host and media mogul plans to visit Iowa on Saturday, Dec. 8, with stops in Des Moines and Cedar Rapids. The following day, she'll travel to Columbia, S.C. Later that day, Obama's campaign said, she'll travel to Manchester, N.H.

This isn't the first time Oprah has lent her star power to the Illinois senator.

In September, she rolled out the red carpet for Obama at a gala fundraiser in California that brought in about $3 million for his campaign.

Step OFF girlfriend...Obama's my man!

In the Democratic primary there is NO QUESTION who has the biggest endorsement reaching the biggest numbers of likely female Democrat voters every single day...

Now one big "O" is joining the one running for President, and she's doing it in the ever increasingly important battleground of Iowa. Oprah... on the road for Obama. 

And Hillary's answer?  (cricket chirps) 

"Somehow, these people that cared about the laundry only cared about the laundry. They didn't care about the children!...I thought they were crazy. I said, 'these people have lost their minds.'"
