Barack’s Message to the Troops


Barack Obama sends a touching message to Tyra’s brother and the troops currently serving overseas.

Tyra, I think it's pretty unfair and biased to have only one democrat that is running to be a guest on your show. You should also have republicans as well. It appears you and Oprah are using your fame and show to promote your political views...very disappointing to say the least!

I was very disappointed in your attitude while watching the Obama show. Show some class, lady!! One does not ask a candidate if he will let her have an overnight stay in the Lincoln bedroom. I was shocked when you asked that, plus your whole general attitude lately. It almost seems like you're on some kind of uppers (although I know you're not)....but would like you better if you'd tone it down some. I chuckled when Obama couldn't say anything nice about our current president. I'm sure 'HE'D" like to have the troops home too. Don't judge another until you've walked a mile in their shoes. Am becoming so sick and tired of certain people in Congress belonging to the Democratic party who are so negative about EVERYthing if it involves President Bush. No, he isn't 100% correct all the time....neither are any of the rest of us!

Tyra I wanted to say thank you for having Barack Obama on the show a while ago. I believe that the show was very important because it let people know about him and how inspiring he is. I was not going to vote because I just don't care about elections and I felt as if my vote wouldn't matter. If I did have to vote now I would have chosen Hillary because that is the name that I know, but now after watching your show I feel totally different. He seems so real and I believe that he will actually do the things that he is saying he will do if elected. You have always been my number one idol but now I have a new respect for Obama and I wish him all of the luck in the world and I pray that he will be the one to run our country.

Hey Tyra,
I just wanted to say how awesome it was to see Barack Obama on your show. I'm really excited about a Presidential candidate comming from Illinois (which happens to be my home state). He has been a wonderful thing for this state, even when he was only a state senator. Everyone knew he name around here (and that is a big thing because being from Springfield... we don't tend to care about "Chicago-ians"...

Any way I just wanted to tell everyone that I was there the day he annouced he was running for President. My two friends and I stood out in the FREEZING cold (and I am not even exagerated.. I couldn't feel my lower half for hours!) just so we could see a piece of history in the making. Let me tell you... it was AMAZING! Hearing him say that he was running for President and hearing what he had to say made me believe that maybe there really are good politicians out there!

And last but not least: GO VOTE! Make a difference in this country!

Hey,

well I much like Obama was against the operations in Iraq since ... months before it even started.(2002) I ran out of breath trying to debate the issue with various people/groups. To be honest the outcome is actually better than I predicted, which you can imagine wasn't too positive.

Get those troops out, and never repeat the mistake. theentire ME policy must change if things are to get better there in the long term.

Obama is a good choice, and Hillary is as well Tyra. You know that. ;)

Peace Tyra, You make my days Brighter, I thank you sincerely.

Wow Tyra I had NO IDEA that your brother was in afganistan or even in the Military for that matter. That makes me feel even more close to you then i already did. I love what you are trying to do for this country and everything you stand for. My mother is about to go to Iraq for the second time in November :( I just graduated High School and have a little sister and a huge house i will be having to watch on my own. I am terrified to death and really dont' want her going back over there but I know it has to be done. I pray for your brother and I hope he comes home soon.

When my mom is gone i will probably watch your show everyday and just cry cause for one I will be alone and for two you are amazing and i am SOOO adicted to your show. i talk about every one to my friends and say, "well tyra said this so check ur sources" haha i'm a dork i know but it's ok. well i'm not even sure if you actually read these so i will stop it here. Thank you for everything you have done and thank your brother for me too. I really do mean that..let him know how greatful i am for him and my parents and everyone out there fighting for us..love ya

Hey Tyra!! My name is Brittni and I'm 18 yrs old now. I've been watching your show for some time now. An I'm at college now so its hard to catch every show but I do my best. Your an amazing person Tyra!! A real beautiful person inside and out. An you have such confidence, and determination about you. I look up to you and admire you greatly. I have a really good friend of mine getting ready to go over to Iraq. An I'm scared for her, but I know she wants to do this and she loves what she does. I support her with all my heart! The message was really nice to hear from Obama. Thanks for everything you do Tyra! God Bless you, and everything that you do!! love always!!

hello Tyra! love you, your show and your support and enlightment of women :) Here's something that's been on my mind for some time, so it's time to share it with you...One of your Sept shows had a young gal in her 20's from Florida (if I recall). She had a major problem with profuse perspiring/ sweating. A doctor injected her armpits with botox (?) injections to stop the sweating. Your show also graciously awarded her $20,000 in additional treatments. The one question screaming for an answer was "What was causing the sweating???" The $20,000 in treatments were only a temporary treatment of a symptom. The "sweating" symptom is her body saying "something is off balance/ not right". The "cause" was not determined. I'd love to see a show about a few of the many common mis-diagnosed and undiagnosed medical issues many women experience and suffer with for "years" (myself included). From my experience and extensive (amateur) research there's a major flaw in the medical field's ability to properly diagnose and treat common ailments that have major impacts on people's health and life.
Here's just 2 of the conditions: 1. Hypo- and Hyper-Thyroid conditions (can cause a page full of symptoms!) 2. Hypo-glycemia. Both of these conditions can cause excessive sweating. Plus, if these two conditions go untreated, a person could suffer major life- threatening consequences such as going into acoma ! Bottom line is = many people needlessly suffer. Change is needed. Thank you for time! Many Blessings to you, JP in Dallas (PS--Thank you for having Paula White on your show....it'd be great to have Joyce Meyer on too)

Hi,I'm from Kenya. I watched a show of your's,the other day, about betrayal from a best friend. I want to recommend "In Between Us" by Scarface featuring Nas and Tanya Herron. It's in Scarface's The Fix album .The song handles the subject.

DON'T VOTE FOR OBAMA. HE MAY BE A GOOD GUT BUT HE WILL MAKE A VERY BAD PRESIDENT?

Hi Tyra gal you are good, I like watching your shows, you really do celebrate diversity and there is so much to learn from your shows, go gal.
God bless

Hi, Miss Tyra Beutiful!!!

I HOPE YOU BROTHER DEVIN COME HOME.

GOOD LUCK.

Not to sound to political but as long as Bush isn't in the run, I'll be happy. But seriously, I truly love Senator Obama and I thought your show was great to show his "human side". He has the strength and the conviction to win, I hope he does. If I was a citizen of the US, I would have voted but a few more years... :)

HI tyra I love you girl I'll be honest I don't watch everyday but very often my daughter and I set my timer to DVR your show this morning on Senator Barack Obama. I had to have service on my satellite dish this morning and it knocked off my timer when it was being repaired I
would have went over to someone else's house but I also had a 10:00 Dr.'s appointment this morning. I'd like to know when will that show be on oxygen since I missed it. I'm really crushed that I could not see him and learn more about him face to T.V.(smile) He IS my pick for the presidential elections and I really would like to here his views and see the show I would be very gratful if I could view this show. I love all your shows but this one was important to me. Much luv--Janise

I really like Senator Obama and I hope that the rest of our country is aware of how good of a person he is. I know that Sen. Hillary Clinton is ahead in the polls, but I hope people wake up and realize how wonderful this man is and how fake Sen. Clinton is. She does not posess even half of the character that this man does. Our country desperately needs a fresh face with new ideas. The amount of experience he has is more than adequate and I believe the Clinton's are just trying to use this point to blind people of how intelligient and diversified Sen. Obama truly is. He is not an extremist like so many of our candidates are and possesses some very unique qualities that would make him a great president. I hope that everyone, Democrat or Republican, will take the time and effort to learn more about him and VOTE for him.

good luck too him.

I absolutely loved this clip. My boyfriend who is also my best friend, my love, and my life has also been over seas for approximately a month. I miss him so much, and support him with my whole heart. I pray every day for his safety and quick return home. I will also keep your brother in my thought and prayers. Any reference to the war or military brings a tear to my eye but I was so happy to hear the possitive comments in this clip. So I want to thank you for covering this topic. Lets bring all the toops, land, air and sea, home to the ones that they love and love them. Thanks again Tyra, this really meant alot to me.

I would love to be able to share some of the pic's with my father. I thank you for your time and consideration. As mom ALWAYS closed every single communication with my sister, AIM HIGH.

I hope sometime you could give a shot out to your Trinidadian viewers on your show ,watch you all the time ,your the best!

tyra i love your show ,keep up the great work you`re a delight to watch;your caribbean viewer (trinidad)

Hey Tyra,

Thanks for getting Barack to say that. I have a brother also in the US Army. I also have a friend that serves as a officer in the Navy and they are both working to help out this war. So, hopefully they were watching and that made them feel better.

Hey Miss. Ty Ty,
I would like you to do something for me please. I have an ex-boyfriend in the military who is now serving time in Iraq. I was wondering if you can give him a special shout out for me please. He's been heavy on my mind lately and I do miss him a lot. So if you could, could you tell him that his family and I are praying so hard for his safe return. I'm sorry his name is Jamon Harrelson. Take care.
Tia

I just want to say that i appreciate this clip so much! My husband is currently in Iraq. He is a PFC in the US ARMY and his message was definitely touching! Anything having to do with the military makes me instantly cry! :)

His message will be heard..and I join him in saying how proud I am!! My brother just got sent back to Iraq for the 2nd time and we were reminding him every day of how proud we are to call him family...he is representing our country regardless of whether or not we agree with the war and chaos...my brother, your brother, and all these troops out their are staying true to our country and their duties...WE LOVE AND APPRECIATE EACH AND EVERYONE OF THEIR LIVES!!

i have a idea for your show i think u should have a day for rock bands. like there days grace,korn, Breaking Benjamin,and fall out boy. and let one of them sing one of their songs. and find out a lot about them for the goth people. we will all love u forever. just to let u know tyra you are why i have not gave up yet thank you so much
