| #9 I dunno ... she's a pretty shrewd marketer of her own brand, and I think she knows she really karked it with the conservative part of her core audience - a lot of whom were white - by going all gooey for the One ... especially now that he's tanking faster than the Titanic. I imagine she is distancing herself as fast as possible from the wreckage. |

| #7 "her own cable channel called OWN that has been struggling to find an audience" Wossa matta? I thought she was a goddess in her own right and had a built-in audience of followers. |

| #4 "For 2012, much has changed for Oprah," the source told Pop Eater. "She now has her own cable channel called OWN that has been struggling to find an audience -- she isn't going to do anything to alienate them." Barack Obama: Box Office Poison!! |

| #3 This will just mean bigger headlines and more coverage when she changes her mind closer to the election. It gives the illusion of non partisanship and thus credibility at a time when Obamas ratings are so low her comments dont hurt him much. It is also an attempt to reach out to fans she lost by her endorsement in the hopes they give her new channel a try because initial ratings on a new channel are gonna be critical to it's survival. |
