2. More from the LATimes: "Obama Finds Green in Oprah's Meadow"

The overwhelmingly African American crowd included distinguished senior figures, including basketball superstar Bill Russell and Academy Award-winning actor Sydney Poitier, and younger stars, including Holly Robinson Peete and cutting-edge comedian Chris Rock. Motown's Stevie Wonder provided the entertainment, singing his hits from the '70s and '80s.

Inside the gates of Winfrey's palatial seaside getaway, what some feared would be a starched, formal affair took on the air of a relaxed family reunion or, as one guest put it, "a free concert." Winfrey's staff had sent out memos to ticket buyers urging them to wear "garden" attire and warning women not to wear heels that would sink into the meadow.

Most of the women though, dressed for a chic cocktail party and wore heels, which many kicked off to dance on the grass. (Winfrey danced too when Wonder started to sing.)

Guests spread their complimentary green-and-white "Obama '08" blankets on the lawn to drink, chat and listen to the music. Others lined up to have their pictures taken with Obama, his wife and Winfrey.

12. Yeah, walking barefoot on

the Earth is such an amazing feeling! Lovely way to celebrate hope for the Fu-Ture!

"Californians have contributed more to Obama's presidential campaign than Democrats in any other state, including his own. With the support of industry heavyweights, such as David Geffen and Jeffrey Katzenberg, Obama tapped the Golden State for $4.2 million from April through June."

Eat that speilberg.
