Broken promises ended Oprah's
friendship with the Obamas?
Ever wondered why Oprah campaigned for Barrack
Obama in 2008 but not in 2012? Insiders claim
Barack and Michelle broke promises to Oprah
Winfrey leading to a bitter rift between them...
From The NY Post
"Everyone remembers that Oprah went all
out for Obama during the 2008 presidential
election. What was not reported was that, in
return, Oprah was promised unique access
to the White House if Obama won. She’d get
regular briefings on initiatives and a heads-
up on programs to give her material for her
fledgling cable network, OWN.
“Oprah intended to make her unique White
House access a part of her new network,” a
source close to Oprah told me. “There were
big plans, and a team was put together to
come up with proposals that would have
been mutually beneficial. “But none of that
ever happened. Oprah sent notes and a rep
to talk to Valerie Jarrett, but nothing came of
it. It slowly dawned on Oprah that the
Obamas had absolutely no intention of
keeping their word and bringing her into their
confidence.”
Oprah did not campaign for Obama in the
2012 race, and she has been absent from
his battles on gun control, immigration
reform and the environment. She claims she
is too busy to get involved in politics, even
though she hosted a fund-raiser for Newark
Mayor Cory Booker, who won a US Senate
seat last week.
Oprah’s friends publicly dismiss the idea that
she had a falling out with Obama. They note
that she phoned Michelle Obama right after
the 2012 election to congratulate her. They
say Michelle invited her to have dinner with
the first family. But the dinner never took
place, and Oprah continues to be frozen out.
“Oprah was hoping there would be a genuine
change in the atmospherics,” one of her
friends told me. “But there hasn’t been.
Clearly, she is being rebuffed at the level of
Michelle and Valerie. And, just as obviously,
President Obama hasn’t interfered on
Oprah’s behalf.” During Obama’s first term, I
argued in my book “The Amateur” that
Michelle was jealous of Oprah, furious that
he was seeking her advice.
“For her part, Oprah doesn’t like being with
Michelle, because the first lady is constantly
one-upping the president and anybody else
around her,” said an Oprah adviser. “Oprah
has struck back by banning the Obamas
from her O, The Oprah Magazine . . . It
probably hurts Oprah more than Obama,
who, if he had his head screwed on straight,
would have flown to California and begged
Oprah to help him save ObamaCare.
“But Obama hasn’t budged, and neither has
Oprah. She’s hurt and angry, and I seriously
doubt that Oprah will ever make up with the
Obamas. She knows how to hold a grudge.”
