Oprah and Obama: Irony of the Week

The irony of the week is that Oprah Winfrey has come out strongly for Barack Obama as president. Why is that ironic? Because the subtext of Oprah’s television show is that men are unreliable and women have to stick together.

So she supports a man for president in preference to another woman.

I like Obama very much, it is no reflection on him. But I think Oprah has some splainin’ to do.
