Oprah Winfrey, who very publicly backed Barack Obama's candidacy, took her show on Inauguration Eve on the road to the Kennedy Center in D.C.

Her surprise guests were Vice President-elect Joe Biden and his wife Jill.

US Magazine reports the Bidens are strong on family. And Skype helped them maintain those ties.

US magazine reports: Their son, Beau, attorney general of Delaware, "is stationed in Iraq with the Army National Guard, and Biden mentioned that he and his wife had him on Skype while they went out on stage at Grant Park." The park in Chicago is where Obama-Biden went for the election night victory celebration.

It should be noted that Oprah isn't only a fan of Obama, but also of Skype, which she has used to connect to viewers live in their homes.
