Oprah Disenchanted
The Obamas are “tiresome.”
Oprah Winfrey endorsed Barack Obama in 2007, helping propel him past the finish line in the Democrat primary. But that doesn’t mean Oprah is still his biggest fan – that goes even more so for Michelle Obama. In Edward Klein’s book, “Blood Feud: The Clintons vs. the Obamas,” Oprah is quoted as saying, “I have a much warmer relationship with Hillary than I do with either Michelle or Barack. The Clintons make me feel at ease 100 percent of the time. But even when the Obamas think they are being charming, they hold you at arm’s length. They make me jumpy, even when they obviously don’t mean to.” Oprah describes Michelle and top aide Valerie Jarrett as “needy,” saying, “They’re always badgering you for something. … They’re walking agendas. Their wish list never stops.” It’s hard to believe we’d agree so thoroughly with Oprah, but the Obamas are absolutely walking political agendas and it is indeed, as Oprah put it, “tiresome.”
