It's funny how people here can try to blame Obama for what's wrong with the economy but no one has yet pointed a finger at Bush who has put us in not 1 but 2 wars. UNDERSTAND OBAMA INHERITED THIS CRISIS and is now seeking ways to get us out of them. Wake up! Oprah is a beautiful woman who has a beautiful heart and you all have the nerve to down her like you have a heaven or hell to put her in. So here's what I propose... GET UP OFF YOUR A$$ES, MAKE YOUR OWN BILLIONS, START YOUR OWN POWER LIST, GO HELP A FEW COUNTRIES AND ADOPT SOME UNFORTUNATE CHILDREN... In the meantime in between time... SHUT THE F*CK UP!!!!! Your opinions are like assholes... EVERYONE has one.

What Oprah does is not because shes some philanthropist she just has an axe-to-grind which makes her more money! Why didnt she open a school in America for poor black children? why? because she says black children dont want to learn here in America!! so she opens one in Africa where the freakin nasty a** older girls are molesting the younger ones!!she didnt want to open the school here because she knew it would be controlled by this government but in africa she controls! thats the key word CONTROL!!! WHICH IS TANTIMITE TO WITCHCRAFT! freak oprah she just wants money money money!! end of story!! she has no power nor does these clowns she've chosen have it!

There seems to be a lot of player hating in here. I would rather hang on Oprah's every word than one word out of Rush Limbaugh's mouth. I hope I mispelled his last name.

No one is holding a gun to your head to watch the Oprah show. If you don't like the woman, don't watch the damn show. She will continue to make millions if not billions, rather your ass watch her or not, rather you like her or not. Tune in to Rush, I'm sure he talks about something you like. And besides, you white folks don't talk shit about her, when she is giving away cars and shit to your ass. And It's more white people in her audiance than there are blacks. So shut the fu** up. Because Oprah could careless what the hell any of you on this site thinks of her. She will continue to make money while you sit behind your computers talking shit and judging her. All of you on this need to get a damn life, and stop hating on those that have one. Now that your 1 minute of fame is over, go out and get a job. Stop pretending that you are some big shot. Stop hiding behind your computer talking negative shit about people. go out and do something productive with your lives. And that's ALL OF YOU ON THIS SITE.
