Ophrah's Obama party brings in $3 Million!

There were 1,500 paying/donating guests at $2,300 a ticket so the $3 Million dollar effort doesn't come to a surprise. The Oprah campaign for Obama was a huge success with the legendary Stevie Wonder performing, a high class picnic style menu (mini burgers, corn on the cob, etc.) and tight fisted security. I hear it was bedazzling and lovely. In Ophrah's introduction to Barak Obama she said, "nobody can stand in the way of destiny." The hostess of ceremonies also stated that Obama gives her something to be actively engaged in for the election. I think if Oprah can make the sales of ANY book, company, or product double/triple, etc. from one word of approval from her mouth then Barak Obama will become president. I already thought he had a huge chance but now it's in the bag. 2008's presidential election is going to be very exciting and i predict the most historical and heavily participated election of this sort of all man kind.
