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.
