According to campaign spokesman Dan Pfeiffer, Oprah Winfrey who is talk show host planed to hold a September 8th fundraiser for Democratic Barack Obama at her palatial estate near Santa Barbara, California.
Obama has raised more than $58 million for his White House bid. Forbes magazine estimates that Winfrey, the Chicago-based host who boasts a lot more, including a magazine, is worth $1.5 billion.
Oprah is a well-known fan of Obama. She even called him "my favorite guy" and "my choice" on CNN's "Larry King Live" last year before he announced that he would run for president.
I think that the frienship between Winfrey and Obama is nice, but I believe that a famous talk show host is unnecessary to be involved on presidential election and earning money for a candidate, not in private. Many people in the United States could get affected by what Oprah Winfrey does. It's important to be careful because some people might misunderstand their friendship in different way.

Obama is extremely fortunate to be having Oprah's assistance and support for both fund raising and publicity. Oprah is a really wealthy person and also really influential because of how popular she is.
I love Oprah and feel that Obama is truly lucky to have her supporting him. =)
I understand the support of Oprah as an African American. It's intersting she chose race over feminism of Hilary Clinton. I think Oprah's support will help Obama in many ways.
It is true that Obama is very lucky because Oprah is very rich and she will help and support them with many things.
