Well, I suppose money is a system of beliefs for a large number of folks; Oprah has a following that I will never be part of.

When one makes $100,000 a year, $10,000 may be reasonable. But when one is worth $100,000,000 a year, paying the entire church's budget may seem a little unreasonable.

Wright's Church just goes to show you that Obama could've done it sooner also despite his smooth talk and your defense of him. After all, you want us to make the same mistake that the local media of Illinois made during the Senate race and the MSM made during nearly the entire election: not report on Obama so he can charm his way into the White House. And to answer your question more directly: Because conservatives bloggers and talk radio now has to do the job of the MSM.

Why don’t you move on from this non-story to something about running the country?

What is wrong in going to a Church? Why does it have to be the Black Church? You don't don't hear about the White, Hispanic, Yellow, Brown or Purple church. Is this not racist?

Has anyone seen the religion of Oprah stuff on YouTube? It’s very New Age and a little creepy.

I don't believe she ever bought into Wright's sermons or any church sermon because she is totally ignorant of what the bible has to say. She like most in the Hollywood left chose to make their own way to heaven. Check out the Church of Oprah on YouTube. If Oprah had any brains say would have told Obama to leave Wright's church before she endorsed him. So like many thinking people I am not buying it either. She is fooling no one here.

Granted, it took the rest of the country about 15 seconds... but still, the comparison is instructive. Look at this way, it took Obama 20 years to figure out what Oprah figured out in 2.

Let’s see here. Oprah kick starts Obama’s lackluster campaign with a boatload of cash. She’s endorsing this lightweight for President of the United States.

They both have in common an extended relationship with a religious huckster. And they both presently have a tremendous influence on public opinion, consumer habits, and even voting decisions.

I’d say this story has plenty to do with running the country—- into a ditch.
