Self-promotion: She was grand-standing with a high probability winner and will ride his publicity tailcoats later.

Oprah is a private citizen and can support whoever she wants.

They both live in Chicago and have known each other for a while. Additionally, Obama is Oprah's Illinois senator, so she decided to support him, as both a friend and as a constituent.
