By just me

Is it just me, or has anyone else had ENOUGH of Oprah and her Obama drama?  It's getting ridiculous and she's losing her credibility?

    " I never said Oprah did not work hard. A person can bust their buns as hard as they can but without the support in some form they will not succeed.

    Some people just cannot understand the facts. I will ask this question. Who has actually been Oprah's major source of support regarding her audience?

    If you can honestly answer this question then you have the right idea and are honest to the facts.

    Enough said! "

    " "She did not succeed"; excuse me but get off of your high horse. No one made this woman a success, she struggled and worked hard to make it to where she is today. I am so sorry that you have been mislead into believing that the "white people made her." If that were the case I guess they forgot to make their own a success. Please do not knock someone else for choosing to do something with their life besides setting at a computer and waiting for the next blog to be post. "

    " I just think it is sad that about 80% of her viewers are white women and the white women,including my mother,don't see how much of a racist she is.She gives money for a school in South Africa where the population is about 80% white,yet not one white person goes there.Then when asked why,she says"I don’t need to appease white people".My mother says it is her money so she can do with it what she likes, what if Bill Gates donated his money to help battered women,oh wait no blacks though.Jesse and Al would have a field day.

    " What happen to following the basic rules of good grammar,punctuation,etc? What about the use of unfamiliar abbreviations or text-like short cuts? What about keeping the tone civil? Finally, the matter of public concern? Oprah does not give a hoote about any of your opinions (positive or negative). What have any one of you done for Oprah lately? Please quit all the drama and focus on improving on all espects of life. If you can't do it for yourself, then do it for your love ones;better yet, do it for God! He is the One, who will judge. "

    " I would like to quote Oprah when she she said, " It is our turn to be in the White House." Now who is the racist?? Why didn't she try to point out what there was about what he stood for instead of just insinuating because of his race that he should be president? I used to DVR Oprah everyday while at work. Not anymore, I no longer even watch her. "

    " I think Oprah has gotten too big for her breeches (even though she did lose all that weight.) I stopped watching her years ago and have not missed her one bit. I hear they are looking for someone to take her place. Probably, because her ratings went way down. All I can say is "good riddance." What gets me is that people actually worship her. That is not a good thing. "

    " Oprah Winfrey.....she grew up poor and created an empire. All of these racist comments boil down to one thing--you are fuming that a Black woman has to power to call her own shots. She decides who will appear on her talk show and no one can trump her decision. Like it or not, Oprah is powerful and her power has not diminished because of the election. We live in America and if you don't like what someone is saying, "Don't listen to them." Simply put, you can't change what has already been done, so get over it. "

They should have MADE her have other presidential candidates on her show..but, NOOOO, she clearly stated that she would interview no one EXCEPT the Messiah!!! Women's rights...yeah, right..she REFUSED to have Sarah Palin on...even though THAT would have brought a different perspective to her audience. She wouldn't have Hillary on..nor McCain, Nor Biden, No Giuliani, Nor Romney. Know why??? They're WHITE!!! To you who talk bad about people on here playing the "skin color" card, talk about Oprah FIRST!! There's your RACIST, in living colored! "

There are kids with no health care, eating out of trashcans on the streets of the United States and she endorses Obama and his "Spread the Wealth" campaign. That's just disgusting. She is so out of touch with middle and lower class America it makes me sick to watch her show as she pretends to care about anything but herself. And all I-can-say-about-her-Katrina-relief-housing-is-"Tax-Deductible" "

    " Oprah built a neighborhood for victims of Katrina in Houston! Funny, Katrina didn't hit Houston. How odd is that. She's full of herself. Who cares if she's black? You that are ignorant and incapable of typing proper English, by the way that's our nations language(hint!) should refrain from commenting. All you are doing is making the rest of us look illiterate and ignorant. Black or not Oprah doesn't give a d@mn about any of our black @sses. It's been a long time since she was a cashier at Winn-Dixie and she sure has forgotten where she came from! "

    " Oprah built a whole neighborhood in Houston for victims of Katrina. She had enough vision and intelligence to see the talents of Dr.Phil and Rachel Ray who are both successfuly signed to Harpo. That is "Oprah" spelled backward (hint). If she were to be envious or felt threatened by their successes, she would not have helped to champion their careers. So what if she built a school in Africa and support Obama. She is not being forced to share her wealth. Case made. "

    " Oprah cares less what you all think. You all can't do nothing for Oprah that she can't buy herself. She is another sucessful story...She own her on studio and air time. So do you really think that she care what you all think. Like you can't touch Obama you definetly can't touch Oprah. So from me to you "JUST GET OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a new day and new time in America. Yes Change is here and theres no looking back...... "

    " That is a flat out LIE. There have been many, but I tell the story of one. A young man, multi-billionaire wanted to help people that lived in the slums so he bought some acreage and built a really nice neighborhood fully stocked, appliances, everything including cash to get started. Brought people in, GAVE them the homes, no strings and Before the first year was up the multi-million dollar hood was kindling and nobody was found anywhere around. This was quite a few years ago but...True story. "

    " Oprah Winfrey's name comes from the biblical name "Orpha" which means, "black gold." The adopted pronounciation became Oprah. Anyway, she was destined to become the billionaire, richest black woman that she is. You don't want to see Whites giving their hard earned dollars to Blacks for a handout, but yet are envious and wanting her to give handouts to Whites. Find a job! "

    " That's a very interesting perspective, and yet it rings all too true. Opra came from humble beginnings, nothing wrong with that. And there's nothing wrong with being successful. But when one's life paints that kind of picture, well, there's something seriously wrong. She's riding high and probably thinks that even God can't sink her. But like the Poseidon... Well, I don't wish her ill, but she needs to take a good hard look at herself and humble herself once again so she doesn't become lost in the outer darkness. "

    " To "Not Just You," there you go, wanting
    to take credit for the success of another black person. Every time a black person invented something whites took the credit for it. People with slave mentalities will always suggest that blacks are not smart enough to make it without them. Look how powder-faced McCain mirrored everything Obama would say. And side kick Palin was nothing more than a well-dressed cheerleader. Intelligence has nothing to do with the color of one's skin. That theory was tried, tested, and approved on Nov. 4th 2008! Stop the Hate, Congratulate! "

    " I gave up Oprah a long time ago. I used to think Oprah was a Christian when I first watched her. I knew she was raised in a baptist church so I knew she knew what the bible says. I couldn't understand how she could live with Stedman and not feel convicted of sin. Then I started noticing that she really was racist. She did a lot for people but they were all black. It's okay to do for blacks but she forgot that it's the white people that watched her show everyday that got her where she is. "
