As some of you who watch Oprah on television know, Oprah has endorsed Obama as her choice for the next president of the United States.  This has not only given Obama a big boost, but it potentially has helped him recruit the many voters who were undecided.

At the same time though, I don’t necessarily agree with Oprah’s endorsement of Obama.  Now, I am not arguing that Obama is a great pick or that Clinton is a good pick either, but I am really just stating the fact that I don’t agree that a business person should openly pick one side or the other.

In fact, my stance as a business owner is that my business should be politically neutral.  Sure, I can have my own beliefs, but I also serve customers that have their own beliefs - who am I to push my beliefs on to them?

So, it is good to see celebrities supporting their favorite candidates, but at the same time, as a business woman, I don’t think Oprah made a good choice by her public endorsement.
