Oprah Brings It! "I AM NOT A TRAITOR" (video)

cross-posted to Jack & Jill Politics

C-SPAN was the joint yesterday. Oprah spit hot fire at those women who call her a traitor for backing Obama, saying:

i'm a free woman. and being free means you get to think for yourself, and you get to decide for yourself what to do. so i say i am not a traitor. no, i'm not a traitor. i'm just following my own truth, and that truth has led me to barack obama

She also has words for those who claim she's voting Obama just because he's black, saying, "Don't play me small."

We're working on getting other video from the UCLA rally with Caroline Kennedy, Maria Schriver, Stevie Wonder and Michelle Obama. You can read a great Salon.com review, and in the meantime, watch Oprah do her thing. She looks right at home on that stage.

Awesome post! Oprah has a true gift for public speaking that is clearly illustrated in that video. As a black woman, she also spoke a little code to all of us folks of color when she said "I'm a FREE woman!" ... because what i heard was "I'm a free BLACK woman!" ... and i am sure countless others heard it too.

Folks need to remember, she rich and all that, but she still black and 'Mamma don't take no shit!'

Clearly, no one will 'Play her small' ever again. Sho-nuf!
