The two "O's", Obama and Oprah, hit the campaign trail this weekend in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.
Oprah's speech had passion, conviction and at one point I even thought, "Wow, she really knows how to inspire a crowd." Of course, that is her day job.
However, the question remains, did the audience members score tickets just to get a glimpse of the famous talk show host or did they really hear the issues from Obama's mouth.
Let's take a look at those issues according to Obama:
Abortion -
Obama strongly supports including partial birth abortion.
Greenhouse Emmissions -
Obama supports stong limitations.
Amnesty -
Obama supports allowing 12 million illegals to stay in US while creating a pathway for them to earn their citizenship.
Iraq war -
Obama wants US troops withdrawn ASAP.
Taxes -
Obama wants to reverse the tax cuts granted to Americans.
Sounds like Hollywood has been talking to Obama and not about a James Bond movie. Now don't get me wrong, I am sure Barak Obama is a nice guy who is compassionate about what he believes just as I know Oprah is an amazing talk show host and good person.
However, each American, must decide for themselves if Barack Obama and Oprah's values are right for Americans, our families and our country. Just because God and the Bible are mentioned in speeches does not mean that one's stance on the issues is grounded in Scripture.
I guess, for now, it should be an interesting show...popcorn anyone?
