Talk show queen Oprah Winfrey has defended her generous donations to U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama's campaign, insisting her money won't secure him the White House. Jennifer Aniston and Halle Berry have already donated $2,300 (£1,150) - the maximum amount allowed for the Democratic primary - to Obama's team, and wealthy Winfrey has followed suit.But she insists it's the influence she wields, not the money she gives, that will be the real help.She tells fellow TV host Larry King, "My money isn't going to make any difference."My value to him, my support of him is probably worth more than any other cheque that I could write."Winfrey is also hosting a star studded fundraising party at her estate that is being dubbed the glitziest political party of the year.While many of the details have been kept secrets names on the guest list have been leaked they include Jamie Foxx, George Clooney and Halle Berry.
