Oprah Leads the Charge at Obama Victory Celebration

on Nov. 5, 2008 10:49 AM / 2 Comments

One notable exception to the "no celebs" rule at Barack Obama's victory party last night was Oprah Winfrey, who was crucial to campaigning for the Democratic nominee.

At the massive celebration in Chicago's Grant Park, the talk-show host joined Reverend Jesse Jackson in the flag-waving and cheering that marked the election of America's 44th President.

"It feels like hope won," Oprah exclaimed in an interview, the Daily Mail reports. "It feels like it's not just a victory for, obviously, Barack Obama, it feels like America did the right thing. It feels like there's a shift in consciousness."

Though many celebrities—including Ryan Phillippe and Brandon Routh—stumped for Obama, Oprah was early and vocal in her support for the Democrat.

    Uh, does anyone actually doubt Oprah is controlling everything in the world at this point?

    that's what I've been thinking, buzzgent. Oprah magically appeared at the victory speech like the fairy godmother in Cinderella... it was a little eerie.
