10. What took her so long?

She endorsed Obama shortly after he announced his campaign in 2007 and way before the primaries began in January 2008. I remember she got a lot of flack from her female viewers, because she had paid lip service to female empowerment and sisterhood for many years, but then the year that the first viable black man and the first viable woman were in a horse race for the Democratic nomination, she chose to back the man, i.e. color over sex. At least that's how her viewers took the betrayal, and her ratings fell 7%.
