Oprah Shares Her Thoughts on Obama Winning the Election

[Xcoming2]

please oprah everything you say your followers will agree its right.

[PROVERBS241]

I didnt Asians was people of color they look ad white as white people just the thing with there eyes and ultra straight hair

[RonyMexico]

obama is NOT from chicago, yes he worked in the city, but he was never born in chicago, that's a lie

[obamasbiggestfan96]

Republicans need to go

[Joelomite]

I'm no racist. I don't mind having a black president.

But I DO mind having a president elected for the VERY WRONG reasons, and one of them being his skin color. Nobody except Fox researched Obama's background and LACK of executive experience.

And Oprah, you are partially responsible for today's mess.

They put him on a pedestal and castigated anybody who disagreed with him.

Obama will unify the nation: Really? We are so divided right now that fights break out whenever politics are discussed.

[OBAMAisHalfCaste]

Obama the first half-caste biracial mixed-race president not black

[xgs724]

I'm sick of stupid bitter white republican racist idiots on youtube saying oh she just supported him because he's black

90% (not 60, but 90) of blacks normally vote for the Democrats even before Obama

howcome they don't mention that over 90% of white southerners voted McCain. I guess that's not bias but blacks voting Obama is. And SO THE HELL WHAT if a black woman is happy that a black man is president. He is the first one, the last 43 were white. I think she has the fuckin right to be happy.

[RafaNadal08]

What the hell does Oprah know? The Presidential Campaign was decided strictly on race. Also no Republican could have won after the deplorable Bush years. Hope and change are nice slogans but for all Obama's talk not a lot has REALLY changed.

[SteelAVic18]

HOPE WON! Yes Oprah!!

[tvaddict69]

seems that being a straight white rich man was the prerequisite for presidency in america...not any more!!!!!

[Joelomite]

@tvaddict69, it was NEVER about race. It was on experience, strength and leadership. Obama has none. He's very charismatic, but it's just a show. There are far better black candidates (eg: Colin Powell, Condi Rice, Mike Steele), but the nation picked the WRONG one.

[thotkrime]

Barak Obama is Bush 2.0. Wake up you sheep!! Pay attention!! They're just figure heads!!! Obama stands for Wall street elites, not the poor!! He sends the poor to die in a country that did NOTHING to us, and while unemployment is at record highs and tent cities and hunger are rampant in our country rewards Wall street crooks with record bonuses!!

[tcampbellla]

Conned by your own brother! I hope you see you have been duped. Compare his actions to his words. A black puppet of the Big Bankers is still a puppet of the Big Bankers.

[LifePusher]

so koreans are people of color now>?

[donottake]

A black man is president, wee wee! I don't want my country destroyed just so you racist pigs can have a feel good moment. Fuck you Winfrey. Racist sack of shit.

[kmd843]

Oprah is so ignorant.... Sheep being led to the slaughter, and all the idiots that voted Obama are now forcing educated people like myself for the ride

[eugene1]

All Roads Lead To Oprah! If it weren't for her then Obama wouldn't be President right now. Given Oprah's tremendous public stature and credibility, her endorsement right at the start of Obama's campaign endowed him with a legitimacy amongst the electorate that millions of dollars couldn't have paid for. Oprah, who's perhaps the world's most influential person, must have absolute faith to have put everything on the line for this guy, so I for one am expecting great things from President Obama!!!

[XxScArEcRoWxX1]

@eugene1 ..also remember hes expecting great things from us aswell i want the president to b happy with us and us happy hes president..

[odessyrcr589]

She was one of his most vocal supporters back win he was running for Illinois senate.

Its only befitting.

People can say what they want about her but shes always be laughing all the way to the bank.

[rosiechatinenglish]

for gods sake Oprah, fix your eye lashes!

[775hiteenaa]

I agree

[AbosRacing]

Why the fuck are we praising obama for being the first black presedent? THAT MEANS NOTHING, no, he is the 44th AMERICAN president. There is no black, there is no white, for people to point out these differences proves them to be prejudice towards one "race" or the other. There is only one race, and that is the human race.

Black white brown yellow, we are all people right? What is the difference besides physical attributes?

It is truly sad to see how ignorant most people actually are.

[cocoluvr9999]

true true. ppl dont even get informed on policies and stuff. it's just about being historic. that is irrelevant when it comes to leading our country.

[korriban129]

You are absolutely correct. Many people often cry out for racial equality but what they don't realize is that we need to stop categorizing ourselves into different colors. I am colorblind, you are right, we are one race, the human race. We need to come to that realization or we will continue on this destructive path of division.

[bridgecastillo9]

yes!!!! thank you!!!

[allapologies95]

well said. well said. when i was at the innauguration last week i got so mad when people waved around AMERICAN flags with a big thing over it that said THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT. made me so mad that they would say that and even disrespect the flag like that

[2255babies]

but he is the first black president...

no matter what connotations it might have on u...the words hold true..he is the first..

I agree that there is only one race.. People were happy during the innauguration..they were just showing there support which I bet you will also do when you strongly stand for something..

[lilbluffcity]

the first black president represents progress in this country in terms of equal opportunities.(i.e.,43 white ,1 black).get it?

[awonoto]

What you said is idealistic, and it is what it should be. Unfortunately, realistically, there still is racism in the world.

[twilightgirlusa]

Its not only African american deep. I am an Indian American and I could never be more proud in my decision to vote obama. We are America we are the united states of America we just need to get together and show the world again that we come back baby and we bring it back

[jrebstock]

lovesxjoy....Oprah has done more good for this planet than u could do in 1000 lifetimes....oprah, like most democrats actually do charity work and donate their money...unlike republicans with their bullsh*t 'compassionate conservatism'...who never donate a dime or a minute of their time.

[andersenfrank]

I'm an old fat white guy. I voted for Obama because he was by far the best candidate. But, I understand that the fact I did not take his race into consideration says a lot about how this country has changed in my lifetime.

[skeeter1012]

notice how the african american race does not care about any other political race besides this one. its only cause they think they have a african american running. but i thought he was musilim..

[ladivamtl]

im a 26yo white american woman

and i dont get why some white people dont get why this is so big for african americans....after the years of the civil rights movements and all the pioneers for civil rights its a moment alot thought whould never come...

and im so happy to see a sexy, handsome and lets be honest...HOT looking black brother president

[1vh1]

Are you blonde too?

[bigblatino]

I watched the video and there was no "racial gloating." She was just happy that President-elect Obama won. Period.

I know it is difficult for some to take, but there it is.

LONG LIVE OPRAH!!!!!!!!

[GRIPSTARR]

like nothing ever in our LIFE TIMES

[iamlumin]

MsHill3 - absolutely right! For all of her interest in spirituality and truth in the end she clings to skin color. In reality, even if you do so Obama is arguably more white than black. Look at his family tree. His Mother was white, he was raised by whites and his father who was black he knew for less than a month, in his entire life. All the talk, all the spiritual mumbo jumbo aside, she's a racist at heart. If you idenitfy yourself as the color of your body's skin, you are a racist by default.

[MsHill3]

I voted for Obama and normally I like Oprah but I took the weird preacher voice as kinda of a racial gloating on her part...not cool.

Anyone else feel that? be honest

[freetobeme65]

Not at all....Oprah is just in touch with the reality of what this country has been, and was proud at what this country is becoming by electing a black president...Oprah is one the last black people with her type of power who ever uses her race to "gloat" as you would say... however she is very aware of who she is and apart of who she is is african american..and there is nothing wrong with recognizing taht and being proud...especially considering how blacks have been opressed in this country

[enigmatically]

harry potter hanging out with oprah?

[icepwn]

look at the oprah stalker on the left O.o

[devni12]

oh oprah give it a break luv..stick to ur day job

[devni12]

what the hell is she talking about??as usual....were woman of color...whoppeee doo daa.calm down luv ur a chat show host stay with it

[annajanuary]

America is in bad shape. We went through eight long and hard years. Finally a breath of fresh air.

Praise the Lord!!!

[annajanuary]

Yes owl975. America WON, THANK THE LORD! A voice for the people of this country and a voice of reason, not hatred. Praise God

Yes Lord!!!

[xxmonickkkkaxx]

"I'm a woman of color you are a woman of color", wow race trumped this election. Lets forget about the fact that he agreed with the bailout, he voted for FISA, voted to extend the patriot act, cosponsored the global poverty act which would commit 865 billion dollars to the UN, and appointed uberzionist Rahm Emanuel as chief of staff. Geez people really our brainwashed, oh well I guess we deserve the "leaders" we get. Hopefully 2012 people will shut off their TV's and think for themselves.

[owl975]

we won guys. who cares about the crazy guy making multiple accounts. It doesn't matter cause WE WON!!!!

[CCRULES05]

I would like to add, that just because your not pro-obama doesn't mean your a racist hater. He wasn't the man I wanted for the job. I myself do not like the majority of his policies, and that is why he didn't receive my vote. however he is the new president to be, and I will not bash him for being the new leader of our country whether I like him or not. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

[mrscorie]

Well Said!

[imconservative]

Oprah, you supported a man who supports murdering the most innocent and defenseless on earth, the unborn. You now have blood on your hands along with Obama. I will not acknowledge him as president, only as a sinner as you now are. Many people voted for him for color only. Who cares about color? Did they forget God? Did you? Color and politics over the lives of the unborn. Shame on AMERICA>

[sentforth5]

you fools! kiss america goodbye, lemmings!osam...obama binladen will make this a communist country and you emptyhead dumbocraps are responsible for destroying liberty.

[GettingtotheTruth2]

Everyone,

Let's Just Take a Minute to Notice that the Haters need to feel like they're in the majority so the same individual signs up for multiple youtube accounts in order spew duplicate tirades of hate, anger and not so thinly veiled comments of racism. (If you look at their profiles--their racism is more blatantly out in the open).

[annajanuary]

Thank You

GettingtotheTruth. Thanks to media streams like this we can openly share the truth and not only get propaganda. America is in bad shape. We went through eight long and hard years. Finally a breath of fresh air.

Praise the Lord!!!

[vioro58]

But White America simply considers you black if you have a single drop of African blood. So yes, according to that definition Obama is black. The fact that now everybody is talking about the white side of the family is because some white folks feel more comfortable with a new president that also has white blood. Of course, his victory will change a lot the perception of race in this country.

[vioro58]

I am of mixed race and proud of my African,Spanish,French and Portuguese roots. I understand Obama because when you are of mixed race you have people in your family you love in all colors and shapes. I had two lovely Grandmas one black and the other one white.

[DAZYMAE7734]

Now, it is time to get over the skin issue. This election was not about skin color for the majority of Americans (parents of this younger & more tolerant color blinded generation)

Obama is an unknown. I disagree about his ideals, didn't like his associations and think he is divisive.I really do not give a rat's butt about Oprah anymore because she is a typical Hollywood hypocrit. I remember she was leaving the country in 2004 when Pres. Bush got re-elected. She suffers from PDS as well.

[mskindly]

Oprah should taken the eye lashes off they were not looking good have you looked at the video inspiration for america by marick

[sponge315]

wow how interesting for centuries society said if there was one drop of "black blood" then u r black...throughout the primaries Obama was black as well as during the election now that he has won suddenly the acknowledgment of of his mixed heritage should be noted rofl make up your minds...why is he called black bc usually it has been the black community that accepts ppl of all races and caucasians who would not traditionally..and why is "commie pinko" to raise one's social consciousness?

[CHEETAH69]

LOL. Good point. I noticed that too. It's funny how NOW folks all of a sudden wanna start mentioning, "you know his mom is white. so he is half white too"

[eugene1]

Excellent & accurate point Sponge315, in Apartheid South Africa, Jim Crow America, pre Race Relations Act in UK if you looked Black then most Whites didn't want to know & shunned any association with you. But since Obama's win I've never heard so many White people so proud to mention that this African-American man is half White. Perhaps that's a good thing, maybe it signifies changing attitudes & growth, but if he were just an ordinary senator, I doubt we'd be hearing about his mixed heritage!

[annajanuary]

If you are American, Nine times out of Ten you are mixed. Lets get real. America is in crisis & a person of color didn't do it. So color is clearly not the issue. We have World Leaders that openly Won't Shake our current President Bush's Hand At G20 Summit.

So EVERY LEADER is not working with our leader of eight long & hard years. A lot of voters gave Bush the vote to come back when he clearly had messed up. OBAMA's a breath of fresh air.

Praise the Lord!!!

[AbsalomPrime]

He has mentioned on several occasions that he is of mixed descent and he championed his white Grandmother. He is a person that can bridge the gap, others brown and peach are the ones trying to pull him to one side or the other. The fact remains that people see him as black. I see him as human.

[BamaE92]

I don't even care about if he's black or not as much as I am sick of everyone making such a big deal about Obama's race and people who voted for him JUST because of it! Why does everything have to be about race? MLK and supporters in Selma, Montgomery, and B'ham already made history and gave blacks the equality everyone deserves. Shoot, blacks often have advantages in today's society. Why can't we finalize equality and be "colorblind" when we look at others?

[CHEETAH69]

why does mentioning his race bother you so much? What in you feels uncomfortable? Better that we ignore the elephant in the room and just say he won because he's the best man for the job? I'm thinking in a perfect America without the savage history of racism and slavery, we'd be able to have that type of conversation. And despite what you think happened in the 60's MLK didn't give "blacks the equality everyone deserves."

[Raeshena]

It's funny how people like to say Obama is 'only half black', like him having a black parent doesn't mean anything. Not only is it insulting, it's degrading to say a bi-racial person is 'only half x'. It doesn't matter if Obama is half black, a quarter, or 1/16th black. He faces all of the trials our society forces upon it's black citizens, and to deny that is ignorant.

[starVol]

Since when did this big fat bag of hot air become America's voice. Ok, again, the reason why BO Rocks Obama won this election was because of the current economy, not , NOT, NOOOTTT, because any shift to some kind of commie pinko socialistic ideas this big fat, rich asses cow seems to think!!

[PJTubes2]

The reason why we continue to call him BLACK is because according to the laws of this nation anyone with more then 16% of African blood is indeed a BLACK AMERICAN in the country. Now while we're recently started recognizing bi-racial as another ethnic group, we all know for a fact the USA will continue to see a Black man as he's been viewed his whole life. Don't try to take this away from us. Our President's Black!!!

[vegasgrl94]

Exactly! I bet you if Obama took your mom out on a date Egoguitar, you would say your mom's dating a "black" man!! Don't try to downgrade the "black" issue, it does no good. Barack has been a black man all his life and now that he's President, people are coming out and saying "Well, he's not REALLY black". What? Are you kidding me?? Throw him in the deep south, high north, due east, or extreme west... Obama is BLACK.

[ziggy196]

not that it matters what color he is, he is not completely black and he never was.

[hiwaymanx]

Uncle oTOMa: Change You Gotta See to Believe In. Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours. Owned!!!

[iFresh08]

As a black women to have a 50% black president is still an honor and im celbrate as if he 110% black!

[yomamayomama7]

Correct, Obama is indeed not a Black man. We do not choose our race - our parents do! However, the fantasy that we now have a Black president is so strong that most people do not want to know the truth.

[FredHammondFan]

I think that a lot of people on this blog have missed the point of this video. It's not about Oprah's eyelashes,religious beliefs, or how fat she looks. It's about her excitement for where America is going. Bush has sent this country to hell in a hand basket and he have the nerve to try to decide whether Obama is Black or Bi-racial? That's the least of our concerns. What about our unemployment rate or the troops in Iraq? Let's stop being superficial and start being real with ourselves!

[MissLafontaine]

who said anything about Oprah's eyelashes ? I want to read it :D

[Gyllenhorn]

So Fucking Hate Oprah. I hope she dies!

[FredHammondFan]

Be careful what you say about someone else regarding death. You may not agree with what she says, but to which death is very harsh. Karma has a way of coming back and seeking revenge on you.

[Traffick02]

who doesnt

[furiasha]

I read your comments, frankly I am surprised that America is still full of racists!

[Fiftyfifty50]

listen... call her a puppeter, slave, hoe, worker, w/e, MATTER IS, other WHITE presidental nominees in the past have had CORPORATIONS endorse them, so dont talk about this one woman who support the first black president, shyt, she aint support him on the show, be happy, have a nice black presidents day.

[cherrylola78]

obama is not black u dumbass ppl he's half white his stupid black father abandoned him when he was a baby his WHITE mother raised him thats y he turned out the way he did

[lyn61]

so very very true..well said.

[dalastejas]

how petty can you get. His father is Kenyan you dumbass. If that don't make him black what does? And also his father was an articulate, dynamic, intelligent individual. He's a product of both parents like everyone else, dumbass

[sobe22bune]

hes biracial. but in America and hes black. and unless you're black or have any kind of black in you what so ever you will never understand that to some retards who only see color will only see you as black to them. thats it. not biracial, multicultural, but black. but i do understand what you are saying and as a biracial American i know from personal experience.

[sobe22bune]

i love how white people are claiming him as white just because his mothers white. hes not the way he is just because of his mother, but also his step-family in Kenya. ya know that country in Africa. yeah.

[boiracerxx]

Anything is possible Oprah! Like a new government!

[naireland]

What the hell? the fucker hasn't even done anything remarkable in his lifetime, how the hell is suddenly Jesus reincarnated? Nothing quite like blind ambition. When he walks on water and saves the country with one fell swoop of his hand then I will believe the hype but until then....he hasn't done shit yet so NO KUDO'S FOR YOU UNTIL YOU FULFILL THE PROPHECY

[Fiftyfifty50]

hasn't done anything remarkable? have u ever been to harvard. Oh wait, do you have a degree? Oh wait, have you finished college. Imma give u the benefit of the doubt that you have a GED, so i think he has done alot in his lifetime, thank you, have a nice black presidents day.

[naireland]

I am graduating spring from MIT you moron and just because I am does not mean I should be regarded as the walking messiah. I give credit where credit is due. I am not about to jump the gun like all of these other dullards. When he fulfills the expectations of leading the world into a new age of enlightenment and prosperity then guess what;? I will hang his poster right up there with Gandhi, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

[ariodante76]

fopdoodle eunuchs, well, aren't we the arbiter of fine prose (not)

[ginter1963]

I know that he supports abortion, one of the things he will do is overturn, the partial birth abortion ban. I'm not against people who had abortion, I had friends who had abortions so I want to make that clear. I am honestly more conservative on my views. I do support him now that he is president. I wasn't real thrilled honestly with either candidate but I voted with what I new was right. It had nothing to do with skin color for me personally. I do think Obama has good leadership qualities

[Childrenscneterh]

Strong words about some one the Repubs would call a poster-child. She's self-made from nothing to become one of the biggest media moguls ever with millions of white christian women in her following. In fact the only problem for repubs is that she's a black woman and a Dem, and not on the darkside.

[ginter1963]

People say that it isn't about race but now after the election, I wonder. I wonder if Obama was an Republican, would people be as excited about Obama.

[Childrenscneterh]

I think its the combination of his race, intelligence, upbringing and message that gained him the Pres. But all that said there's no way he could a repub of today talking like that. repubs dont support the middle class.

[ginter1963]

That is a good point. Republicans don't necessarily support middle class. I didn't vote for Obama for some of his ideas I don't agree with. Now that he is president though, I hope that he succeeds. He has a hard job ahead of him. He has a tough 4 years a head of him if not more.

[Childrenscneterh]

A really hard job ahead of him, and one of them is racial. But just out of curiosity what ideas of his dont you like?

[ManuelaBella]

wow, you all calmb down.

OPRAH IS AMAZING AND VERY CARING AND RESPECTING.

SHE IS A WONDERFUL LADY>

[pendragon2319]

oprah is a racist pig

[PortugueseGina1]

can't agree with you more...she is totally pro-Black...I think if she could have whites as slaves, she would. crazy bitch.

[bayley5150]

Totally agree!!!! this interview proves Oprah is a bitch!!!!!!!!!!!!! she is obviously playing the race card here,though she uses selective vocabulary.

[Childrenscneterh]

Hater!!

[Childrenscneterh]

Oh please! Whats wrong with being pro-black? She still slams gangster rap and puts other whites on TV 2 to 1 than blacks. Thats far from slavery.

[MissLafontaine]

well if we had whites as slaves, we would be equal now ! !

- not hating, just saying..

[shonester]

I wonder what happens to Oprah's credibility if Barack is a bad president...

Obama winning has changed everything. I can just hear Iran and Russia screaming "I WANT PEACE WITH AMERICA RIGHT NOW!!!" And the stock market has shot up so high since he got elected! And people are coming together with Obama's landslide win of 52% - AMERICA IS UNITED!!!

(stock market has had its heaviest 2 day drop since 1987 since he was elected, Russia is threatening us, and Bush got 51% of the pop vote in2004)

[SPARTANBEENER]

I'm glad your not one of the blind Americans!

[shonester]

I tend to open my eyes from time to time....

I'm going to give the guy a chance though. Maybe he'll surprise me...probably not..but we'll see.

[concretewater87]

omg i laughed when she grabbed her face. weird... oprah is out of control. haha

[zoeydebra]

He has been elected! So now President Obama promise to deliver is all I ask you today and tomorrow!

[39samarten]

Her words are true. And I'm not American. The feeling of anything is possible to be achieved through hope and belief,is the shift in consciousness . It wont be easy , but this time we will all work together to build global prosperity .Its not only Obama but he can bring world leaders together to solve the global financial crisis .With such a diverse ethnic and cultural background he may just be the one to bring it all together.

The main thing is that history has been made!

[EricaAmy]

Oprah is a true patriot and, of course, has always known that her taxes would go up sharply under Obama. Oprah along with Warren Buffet and Bill Gates are proud help fellow Americans pay for our schools, roads, health care and to invest in better energy sources which mean better jobs. That's true patriotism! And it has NOT been patriotic to be shoveling billions of taxpayers dollars out to bail out greedy stockbrokers/bankers or for a misguided war in Iraq.

[George007Kelley]

ericaAmy,

EXCELLENT point and soooo very true!!! Self-lessness and NOT selfishness is the IN thing right now!!!!

[ramama57]

I'm glad to hear that, if it is true. Maybe self CONTROL will become popular and we will eliminate a whole heap of problems in this country. Imagine if people were to spend what they could afford, eat what they needed to be healthy, abstained from sex out of a committed relationship....I can think of more. Can you?

[ramama57]

I cringe when I think about what the black community will do to him when they don't think he's doing enough for them.

Will they start calling him an oreo? I hope not.

[CreamyButta]

i cringe everytime i think about what the white community will do if President Obama does do something for the black and latino communities.

I also cringe everytime race is mentioned! DAMN CAN'T WE GET PAST THIS ALREADY??

[ramama57]

I'm ready for that!! Is Jesse Jackson and Rev Al?

I think our new president is ready to do what America needs and not "communities" of any distinction. We are all Americans and we are in this together.

[CreamyButta]

I don't know Jesse and Al so I can't say what they are ready for.

I really don't give 2 sh..... about those fake ass bums!!

They are constantly (well, Al has slowed down) causing division.

Some of their arguments are justified but it comes a time when you have to ask yourself who is paying these guys to be all up in the media?

I always come up with some racist white group for my answer.

[CreamyButta]

I'm all about CHANGE and that's what I see taking place in my community which is not only Latino but Black American, Asian and White.

[ramama57]

What change are you seeing and when did it start. What kind of community? Large? Small? I'm just curious because that statement can mean a lot of things. Is this change you see in people around you or on a broader scale?

[zoeydebra]

what?

[Celebrityzmode]

Oprah, you are a real cool lady!

God bless ya!

[fivecougarsoz]

hey everyone

[shaniafan]

I think Oprah is so gracious. And she didn't talk much during the campaign but now I can't imagine! Yes, I think she more than deserves Obama's time when he has the time!

I cried last night w/ my mom. voting for the first time I really feel like youth votes were a great contribution to this win! Let alone just the history now it will be something I take with me forever.

And much is expected of America not just Barack this movement will take everyone. He is our 44th President for a reason.

[Serene33]

wholover, i totally and completly agree...after four years when obama has taxed us to death and has not done ANYTHING to "change" in the positive way he has said, then we can all point, laugh and say..."i told you so!"

[kazhool]

Wow... so you can predict the *future*, huh?

Why didn't you predict this economic crisis, then, and save us a trillion or two, genius?

[twiztedsnake]

So you KNEW what bush was going to do? yet you voted for him

[ramama57]

I guess we will have to wait and see. I thought in his acceptance speech he was already preparing us for failure and starting his second term campaign. But he is our president now and the office deserves respect. For the sake of us all I hope he does well.

If bad things happen we will go on but we won't be allowed to blame him like GW.

[jmuschalek2]

what is your problem? he hasn't been sworn in and you are predicting failure. You are really jaded. The best way to get elected to a second term is do a good job in the first.

Give the guy a break and don't criticize until you have something to critique.

[ramama57]

Oh trust me when I say I want him to do well. I certainly don't want to see things keep going down they way they have been. I think just by people having hope is an excellent start but we must be pragmatic. There is a good chance that things will get worse before better.

[TheWhoLover]

well the thing is, i bet you havent seen the past democratic presidents. all they did was tax us to death too. you will see. they think the government knows best for the people.

[ramama57]

I am 51 years old. I saw it and I did not like it. I prefer to run my own life and keep the gov out of it except where they provide a NECESSARY function. Not everyone feels that way. That's why we have helmet and seatbelt laws and why the government has to ban trans fats.......people aren't smart enough to figure it out themselves...just to name a few.

[TheWhoLover]

Hey Oprah, just wait when you have to fork out 28 million more dollars for taxes. i cant to see what you say then.

[ramama57]

I guess she'll have to stop giving cars away or shut down her girls school in Africa. not

She has enough, it won't hurt her. Besides, she has lawyers to deal with how to avoid paying taxes.

She gives so much to people I wouldn't be too hard on her.

[TheWhoLover]

Well, the problem i have with her is that she self promotes herself. she takes all the credit. and thats whats the problem with this world. do something for someone without showing everyone you did it.

[ramama57]

Yes that would be the ideal. Do not let the left hand see what the right hand is doing. I am not a big Oprah fan but there are plenty of celebs out there that don't do squat to help out their fellow man so I have to give her credit. As far as self promotion...well that is what Oprahs whole business is...OPRAH! Right? What else does she have besides her name? She's never invented or discovered anything, she talks and makes a lot of money doing it.

Her name is her brand. Don't hate- the woman took a garden-variety, Jerry Springer-like show and turned it into a multimedia empire.

Me? Hate? Did I say something untrue? Check out LoveSexJoy's comment. Then you will know what hate is.

Well Girl its time for your big money to trickle down to the hood. Lets see how you feel then.

Does anybody else think that oprah kinda has an episode at around 58 seconds and spazzes for another 20 seconds after that?

Oprah likes Stedmans bukkake?

I have never felt more proud to be an American!

I love what happened last night! This is history making, at its best. I agree with you completely, Oprah! ENJOY! I know I will! :D
