Oprah Winfrey Demands Obama Share Person Of The Year Love

Some have accused Oprah Winfrey of being an attention fiend.
And she does push herself in the spotlight frequently, from her support to certain political candidates to letting everyone know what book she’s cuddling up with instead of Stedman for the week. She has her face on the cover of every one of her magazines, for goodness sake.
But attention fiends can be good, especially if they’re garnishing it for the right reasons. And that’s exactly why the U.S. division of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has chosen her as Person of the Year 2008.
She’s used her power to draw attention to a variety of animal abuse. After following a plea on a billboard in Chicago to do a show on puppy mills, she aired an episode that featured undercover footage of horrible conditions at one located in Pennsylvania. Her audience also got to see the torture that chickens, pigs, and veal calves endure in conventional factory farms.
Earlier this year in April, she dedicated an episode of her show to her late cocker spaniel.
Let’s not forget, she went vegan for 21 days and told the world about it!
Hats off to Oprah. Good thing Time Magazine’s Person of The Year, Barack Obama, is a slender man. He definitely needs to make room for some other great people in the spotlight.
