Andrew Breitbart says Oprah is secretly running the Obama White House
By David Neiwert Monday May 25, 2009 2:00pm
Now, that's what I call a conspiracy theory: Andrew Breitbart told Glenn Beck on Friday that he thinks that Oprah Winfrey is the real power behind the Obama throne:
Breitbart: Well, this doesn’t surprise me. Does it surprise you? This is the Oprah Winfrey presidency. She was his biggest supporter, and I think that she’s been behind the scenes orchestrating this presidency as a media presidency, photo ops, giving billions of dollars of gifts away to people and to companies like General Electric, and until the mainstream media starts realizing --
Beck: Wait a minute. Are you suggesting that Barack Obama walks into a room and goes, "GE CEOs, look under your seat!"
Breitbart: I think that's exactly what it is.
Beck: You've got a bailout. Is that what you're suggesting?
Breitbart: That's exactly what I'm suggesting. It is the Oprah Winfrey presidency.
You know, it's funny: Fox never featured hosts who were upset about Fox' cozy relationships with the Republicans who made Rupert Murdoch's massive American media acquisitions possible for the past decade.
It never featured reports or talk-show hosts who even talked about former GE CEO Jack Welch's cozy relationship with the GOP and the Bush administration earlier this decade.
Evidently, they only object to such political coziness when Democrats do it. OK, we got that.
But what, exactly, does Oprah have to do with GE? The only business connection is that NBC bought Oxygen, the network Oprah cofounded, in 2007. But GE does not own Oprah's production company or have much of a relationship. (Her long-running TV show is distributed through King World Productions, a CBS operation.)
These people having been breathing some kind of exhaust and it's messing with their heads. Probably their own.
Of course, in the case of Breitbart, he's just being his usual a-hole self. Nothing new there.

republican. So, what's new?
I don't know how they come up with this stuff.
However imagine if Oprah was really running the white house:
YOU GET A PARDON, YOU GET A PARDON, YOU GET A PARDON
EVERYBODY GETS A PARDON !!!
If Oprah was telling Obama what to do ,, then Bush , Cheney and the Global Empire would be running for the hills..
Their criminal crimes would be prosecuted...
"You get an indictment, and you get an indictment, and YOU get an indictment!!!!" ;)
He wants "cheesecake'!
Maybe I am reading too much into this sentence, but if that aint being racist, without saying any thing racist, that comment sure sounded racist to me.
Ya, it's always pure projection of what's on the minds of these republicans.
This time it's secret codes, and racial innuendo with outlandish dictators supposedly running the white house.
...that the ladies of "The View" were secretly running the White House...particularly Whoopi and Barbara. Beck the liar would have burst into tears and jumped under his desk.
... and creating realilty are the Repugs top strong points.
do you fly?
RAmen
are you??
Why would this be a bad thing? Near as I can tell, Oprah can generate billions without starting wars or killing anyone. Sounds good to me.
But, this can't be cause they're both black, could it?
Was every white guy that supported a white politician involved in a conspiracy, or is this just a black/black thing?
Forgot about the fear of The Blacks(TM)thing.
Be afraid! Be very afraid! (Insert evil laugh or picture of Elmer Fudd Here)
Take your pick!
Oprah is black AND a woman so the idea of her running the presidency is meant to whip up the misogynist racist conservative base.
...a "black op."
Don't you know that all us black folks know each other, like each other and are related? That must be why some white people ask me if I know whatever random black person they know. I tell them yes, we have a big telephone that we all call each other on; it's like the batphone. Don't let folks like Alan Keyes and Clarence Thomas fool you, they are in on it too!
LOL - TO THE BLACKCAVE!
That was awesome.
Have to listen to it. I see whose show it was on.
NEXT!
I know that Glenn Beck isn't speaking to me. He speaks to what he himself has called the "Bubba Factor." He considers himself their superior and they worship him.
Yeah, sure! It's still better then Dick Cheney openly running the Bush
ShitWhite HouseI can't tell if Glen Beck has the lowest IQ of anyone on television or if he's just insanely juvenile. He's the hardest to watch of all the wingnuts in my opinion. He's an asshat clown who is completely clueless to the fool he makes of himself. I always find myself embarrassed for him. Like in this clip him slipping brownies between cut aways and making those stupid childish faces. Most 12 year olds behave more adult then this guy. I'm embarrassed for him, did I say that already?
The whole incident with someone giving Beck a brownie has to be a setup for his statement. You frequently see people on TV drinking liquid but have you ever seen someone eating food while on the air? If you were going to give a TV personality something to eat the last thing you would give would be something like a brownie. Just imagine what your teeth would look like on TV after eating a brownie.
Even the idiots at Fox News would not give a host on one of their programs a brownie. I do not know if the line about not wanting a brownie was intended to be racist but in the middle of a segment about a black entertainer being the secret power behind the Obama White House it is certainly suspicious.
Before any right wingers write me off a a suspicious Black person seeing insults behind innocent statements, I am a middle-age White male.
And I'll bet Denzel is home with my wife right now!!
After 8 years of Cheney running the White House behind the scenes, I'll gladly take Oprah!
Can somebody please pass the bong water they've been drinking...I want to sound just as crazy....LOL...OMG...that was such a great guffaw!
Well...
He likened it to a media empire such as Oprah; he didn't say Oprah runs the WH.
You don't have to put idiotic words into Beck's mouth - he does that just fine by himself.
was on Bill Maher a few weeks back. He's a waste of skin and perfectly good oxygen. Who is this meant to rile? POOR WHITE MEN.
This is a video available at a website. At NO point did they package a phony news report and give it to the local TV News programs, as the Bush administrator did. I don't imagine Breitbart or Beck were shocked by that, or by the highly-staged news opportunities that Bush, Mr. Aircraft Carrier, held time and again. Remember the fake uniform jacket he wore?
It is not like the Republicans ever packaged opinion as "news" and peddled it to news outlets. Oh ya, they did. Apparently George Bush never invited sports teams to the White House after winning a championship according to Beck. This whole thing just shows how far the right has to stretch to find something to complain about the Obama White House.
I guess, when you've really got nothing... blame Oprah!
Can anyone be this juvenile and dumb? Is he really off his rocker, or is he trying to stir the pot for some air time?
...April Fool's Day? I'm seeing a lot that suggests that it has been for a couple months now.
When it comes to conservatives every day is April Fool Day.
What an idiot. Can't he see that Obama and Oprah are the same person. If you're going to be part of the conspiracy at least get it right.
Wow, he's nucking Futs.
This Oprah Cabal is all Clinton's fault.
Are you sure it wasn't Carter's Fault? Clinton was just carrying on for Carter.
Did you hear the one where Elvis is still secretly living at Graceland? Or that JFK is still alive and really running the White House front the West Wing? Isn't that something?
The fun you can have with paranoid National Enquirer reading imbeciles is endless. Too bad they masquerade as credible journalists when really they should be in a psych ward.
Tupac is forming black nationalist policies with Obama as he speaks. Don't you know that every "posthumous" album released every year is a code for Obama to take over the USA?
And BigFoot ate my baby! End-Times fer shore...damn that Obama!
They think attacking and impugning Oprah's character is the way to go
while at the same time bowing to Rush and Newt.
Well...it is. The way to go....in 2010/2012. Gone baby gone! The question now is - just how much smaller will the Republican party shrink to?
and had to stop watching. My congratulations to anyone who got through the whole thing. These guys are just batshit crazy.
I'm afraid they are running out of dark corners to console themselves in. A sad day for the remnants of the neocon/repuke party.
This ass wipe is such a non-issue. After watching him drop his pants and run naked around the table as he was flogged by the ladies of The View for his spineless lying and fabrication of bull shit...it is confirmed to me that he is ONE WORTHLESS sack of shit.
of the View-- anyone gotta link? Was it posted here? I gotta see it.
I'll take Oprah over Karl Rove any day. They're both emotional eaters but at least Oprah has enough self awareness to know why she loves macaroni and cheese.
The GOP has NOTHING new. Absolutely nothing. They have grabbed onto the "Hollywood liberals" schtick again. (Even though Oprah doesn't even live in California.)
I have heard this for decades -- Hollywood just looooves liberals. Yet look at Hollywood politicians. Schwarzenegger, Ronald Reagan, Fred Thompson, Sonny Bono. Were/are they Democrats? Nope. Now think of all the LIBERAL politicians. (crickets)
We'll find the liberal politicians wherever the liberal media is hiding.
The job of Glenn Beck is to convince the intellectual non-elite that they actually live in a democracy with two disparately different parties--a Good Party to love and a Bad Party to hate.
If Beck can rouse the rabble to civil war, he can move to a fortress while the no longer useful proletariat wipes itself out. When the war is over, he envisions himself enjoying a low population America where everyone is rich like him, where he can breathe cleaner air.
Little does he realize the story ends badly for him. No longer useful to the oligarchy, he finds that wealth is relative. Billionaires have little use for lowly millionaires and he ends up cleaning toilets for Oprah Winfrey.
Oprah has a house in Santa Barbara, so she sometimes does live in California, but SB is worlds away from the Hollywood thing. ...Did you know she put some four or five thousand dollars worth of hydrangeas along one fence? Jeebus.
I am not ashamed to be a 50-year old, male caucasian.
But these morons they find and put on U.S. television are not making it easy on me...
I'm glad I moved back to France. Peace.
Granted that Beck is a nutjob but, you have to be even more of a nutjob to appear on his show.
The previous eight years it was Joe Btfsplk and a rabid Gomer Pyle running the place.
he's just being his usual a-hole self."
i was going to say...!
i can imagine john lithgow having a great time playing this character...
just what are this guy's qualifications as a spokesperson for ANYthing...?
Maybe Beck is tired of everyone thinking he's such a loony-toon moron that he decided to have someone on his show who is so OTT in Cloud Cuckoo Land it makes him look rational.
Just a thought.
The tits-ular head of the GOP calls Obama a dictator. http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/200905220022
No fat ass. A dictator is a "president" who steals an election not one who wins in an electoral landslide. I know you hate the American democratic process when it doesn't go your way Rushbo but make sure you label the right person the dictator. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aD3xfT0c99g
I say, so what if Oprah is running the White House. Would that be a BAD thing? I mean, rather than have someone born with a silver spoon up their butt WASP, how about a self-made, 1st generation multi-millionaire (or is it billionaire by now?) who overcame incest, teen pregnancy, sobering poverty and the piss-poor public education system in Mississippi? Someone who didn't need daddy's money, Osama bin Laden's uncles money, a taxpayer handout (to build his brand new stadium)or his family connections to make their way?
Someone who, in spite of high-profile, has never been touched by scandal (unless you want to cite the school in Africa that SHE started and her administrators abused kids). Never been arrested for drunk driving, never went AWOL from the National Guard, never shot someone in the face while drinking and hunting. We could not only do worse than Oprah, we, for the last 8 years, have done much worse.
An "Oprah Winfrey Presidency" is just another code word for these racist Republican bastards. Another way of saying "beware of the Black Power menace" they tried to use to defeat Obama. Throw in Oprah, and you can defame women as well as black people. These are the bugwits who pollute the air for Fox News, nice going, assholes.
I still have people I used to call friends who e-mail anti-Obama screeds. They disgust me, and one is a good well educated Catholic family man. I stopped responding to him because I never realized his naked prejudice before.
It doesn't work anymore, fellas. The country has wisened up to your bullshit. Go back to bottom-feeding, your day is over.
The GOP has never stopped feeding from the bottom. Fortunately for us, the bottom has become lower, narrower, darker and more unsavory than ever.
Catholic family man is the same one I know who calls me repeatedly to tell me the latest "news" from Fox. I've known him since '96 and I've found him increasingly intolerable in proportion to FOX's gain in irrationality.
.....it looks like the 21% of Rethuglicans is made up of escaped mental patients. WTF are these guys smokin'?!!!!! How could ANYONE believe anything a looney like this or Michelle Bachmann says? And we are certain now that Cheney is off his rocker...I'm sure he'll come out and say North Korea has a nuclear bomb because Obama sent him the uranium! What a pantload!
Now that is really creating a fantasy world. Not everybody on that side is as creative!
...they come up with something kookoo like that. Well, if Oprah is running the White House like she runs her companies, the country should be in great shape in no time at all, and we'll all find $1M under our seats!
Andrew Breitbart is an idiot with his head so far up his ass that he can lick his tonsils.
I wonder how long before the right wingers start ranting about Obama inviting a restaurant from Pittsburgh to prepare crêpe like pancakes for a Memorial day event.
Crêpes are even more elitist than Dijon mustard. Surely Obama is acting pretentious and uppity here and some would imply that what he really wanted was chicken and waffles.
Or watermelon.
is stealing material from Wanda Sykes now. Not surprising.
How can oprah secretly run anything?
She can't go anywhere without her zombiefied posse loudly cheering for five minutes or more when she does nothing more than belch.
I never did understand Oprah's appeal. I always liked Phil Donahue better. Too bad Oprah ate him.
I've seen Phil throw liberal guests, by arguing the conservative points better than the conservatives.
As near as I can tell, Phil could argue almost anyone's points better than they could. It's hard to imagine a better example of playing the devil's advocate that Phil dished up.
...What would Oprah do?
A lunatic asylum realizes where it's escaped patient went.
Plano?
What a bunch a RACIST NAZI COMMITTEE (RNC) ass-holes, the SECRET meetings of the OIL INDUSTRY with the AMERICAN TRAITORF cheney, Then you Spineles Gutless COWARDS think I am stupid enough to believe your racist rhetoric.
You are a bunch of Gutless Spineless COWARDS, say what you mean he is BLACK I am whote small minded bigoterd and ashamed of myself so NO BLACK MAN cwan ever make laws for me you first class PUKES.
Are there any non racist Nazis?
was a white small minded bigoturd ashamed of himself?
as we speak Sammy Davis Jr., Martin Luther King and Johnnie Cochran are communing with Bill Cosby who will then later channel the important messages onto Bill Cosby, Wanda Sykes, Will Smith, miscellaneous rappers and Bill Clinton for transmission to the Oprah/Obama whitehouse.
Queen Latifah is working with the dictators in the African countries, including Khaddafi to overthrow the white race and install black folks worldwide. Never mind that black folks are outnumbered by a wide margin, they've gotta plan.
Thomas Sowell, Clarence Thomas and that Steele guy of the RNC are double agents whose communications are really subtle transmissions to infect the brainwaves of all white males in the world. Beware.
Of course, being that I'm a woman, I'm immune to this cabal and can look plaintively from the sidelines through my kitchen window while doing dishes for my lovelyk god fearing husband working at the tractor store.
but what I can't figure out is where Condaleeza fits in.
OPRAH does have billion$.... and ALL wealthy people have better access to the rulers of this nation. And she does live in Chicago, which is an additional assistance to her access to the PRESIDENT. And being a MAJOY FIGURE BLACK WOMAN during these times, also puts her on certain SHORT LISTS. ==> ==> ==> ==> ==> of course access and "running the show" are two different things
I'm in awe of the unending amounts of STUPID that are available. Another re=Thug graduate of DTSU - Dumber than Shit University.

I'm not sure in what capacity, exactly, but she does a lot of good in this world.
Another candidate- Queen Latifa
Better Oprah than Cheney or the drug addled gas bag named Rush.
Rush and Cheney are on the CERTIFIED LIST OF TRUE PATRIOTS, aka, the GOP. When they were running government all was well. Just read their latest rewrite of history.
If mcgramps won would we be hearing accusations that secretly the White House is being run by Ted Nugent?
Now...back to Pee Wee's Big Adventure...
Oprah's not running the White House.
I am!!
Because they are a bunch of idiots!
republicanism is a mental illness.
These guys are the poster children for insanity!
out of their asses? Do they have any credibility left with anyone, even the most wingnuttiest of the right? If so, this country is farther gone than I had thought.
I just read a whole bunch of crazy bastards replying to Paul Krugmans article about the disaster that is California. Their names were "ME FIRST," "WHY SHOULD I PAY," and the coup de gras of imbeciles, "THE FAIR TAX GUY."
Never mind that Paul was basically saying the wealthy should be paying most of the tax increases. Doesn't matter! Nope, these idiots are gonna keep taking it up the ass for the trust funders who are screwing the shit out of them, and anyone who tries to improve their life better damn well be prepared to hear from them!
Man it is depressing to realize how many clueless stupid fucks there are in the U.S. In fact, I had to stop reading, it was making me sick.
out there that thinks this wasn't all scripted ahead of time? Beck saying, "Do you mean (blah blah blah) Oprah (gasp of surprise!)....?" Come on, Glen and Company, we can smell a setup a mile away. Glen must have his magic underwear in a bunch.
I think the Rev. Moon is using enema's to fill this guys brain with wingnuttia.
Lets see, the people overwhelming trounced conservatives twice, and what do we get? Glenn "crazier than a loon" Beck, and a litany of other right wing batshit crazy fascists. Unfreakingbelievable!
If their ever is a revolution of the people, they will have to get guilotines for these MSM jackasses.
Oprah is a successful businesswoman, unlike the Bush MBA failure who ran our economy into the dirt.
She couldn't possibly do worse.
that said his kid came home and told him that St. Patrick's Day was now Potato Day.
Oh, pardon me - maybe it wasn't his own kid; nope - it's his kids
"A commentator on Fox News and now several websites/bloggers are
reporting that a public school in Westwood, CA no longer allows children to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Instead, the school celebrates "Potato Day." According to the bloggers, this is because St. Patrick is a patron saint and therefore a religious icon. The television commentator also strongly implied that this "political correctness run amok" was somehow ordered by the Obama Administration."

I tell ya, there's no getting anything past those geniuses at Fox
I thought Soros was the guy running the Obama presidency?
That's in O'Reilly's delusional head. I guess when it comes to lunacy, the wingnuts do think for themselves.
what a t-bag. And damn really...you have your producer hand you a brownie in the middle of your show? Glen Beck must really wanna be the next Rush Limbaugh
...the moronic statements these shameless shills make, or the fact that American "news" has devolved to the point where people who ate as much lead as these three are framed up on a TV camera.
Breitbart is a genius. Only he could have uncovered the truth about the so-called Obama Administration. I wonder why he didn't reveal the rest of the story: "Hillary Clinton" is really Dr. Phil in drag. "Joe Biden" is Bill Ayers after plastic surgery. I could go on, but I am afraid the Secret Service will read this and come knocking on my door. Psssst, don't anyone pass all this on, it could get me in real trouble.
