Jerry Springer was caught with a prostitute and even wrote her bad checks. That’s why he’s not in office in Ohio.

Oprah needs to realize she’s not nearly as important as the president.

I completely agree with this logical reasoning, and yet I’m surpised and confused to find it here on this forum….

Perhaps we should wear our tin foil hats just in case?

So a couple of things:

1. Oprah actually kept pretty quiet about Obama on her show during the election. The army of suburban housewives who watch her show every afternoon and read stupid books because she says so, actually tend toward the political right and she probably feared alienating them and she makes a lot more money when they buy a book with the “Oprah’s Book Club” sticker on it than she will because of Obama’s election (after all, her taxes will be going up)

2. Give people who watch Oprah a little credit. We are not all mindless drones. I’ve been watching Oprah’s show since college and own exactly nothing that she recommended on her x-mas episode, only read her magazine in waiting rooms, and have only bought her book club books off of bargin tables because they were books I wanted to read, not because of the “O” sticker.

3. Has any one accused Bill Gates of rigging the election? He has way more money than Oprah and is way more computer savy. He could probably pay someone to write a program that would apply for credit using bogus social security #s, then use said credit to donate in small amounts to his favourite candidate and BAM! he’s bought us a president all while doing rich people stuff. I say this not to actually accuse Mr. Gates of misbehaviour but instead to say “Paranoid much, folks?”

Okay, so let’s just say that Oprah directly caused 1 million votes (that would otherwise have gone for McCain) to go to Obama. Wanna account for the other 7.5 million? Hmmm???

Dude, you really have no idea if she injected herself or they told her to lean in for the photo. The point is the picture itself LOOKS like; there’s no reason to rationalize the joke at all.

With all due respect, these lolz are reflections on a “moment”…this is not a comment on a picture of Oprah crying on election night.

I find the whole thing incredibly silly. Is it famous people that are full of themselves, or are we the ones in fact that are the problem? We pile all of this attention on these people and then complain at the nature of their response. Apparently, Oprah is full of herself, yet the only evidence folks are presenting is the argument itself. I guess if it’s repeated often enough, it’s supposed to be true.
I have nothing against the woman, but I’m not a rabid fan hanging on her every word, either. Truth be told, the only difference between her and us on this forum are the number of zeros in her monthly income. None of us here post with the assumption that we’re wrong any more than she does when hosting her show. So, who’s really full of themselves? The one with a bunch of money and millions of viewers that believes she knows what she’s talking about, or the ones that pile on empty criticism because it seems like the in thing to do, completely ignoring the fact that we’re just as arrogant as she is?

My late beloved Mother, who was as conservative as they get, always spoke highly of Opera as being the best of the talk show hosts. She is ahead of the pack, the top of the field.

Poor writing? An author who can get KIDS to HAPPILY read books that are over 700 pages, on average? Wow, work on your standards, Rollins is GREAT writing! Her books don’t drag, they literally PULL you in and along!
Amazing stuff!

It’s a LOL site. Some of them are offensive. THAT’S THE POINT. Get over it, or leave.

Besides, Oprah is the biggest attention whore since…..well, ever, and her interjecting herself into this picture just proves it. That doesn’t make her a bad person or in any way taint Obama’s win, but it just shows her for what she is.

Lols are supposed to be funny. This one just ain’t funny.

Oprah was in the audience along with a sobbing Jesse Jackson at the “moment” for President-Elect Obama’s acceptance speech. I guess facts don’t matter when you just want to be nasty.

Speaking as someone who runs screaming from the room when Oprah is on TV, she got famous for having insight and compassion that move a lot of people. Especially female people. I don’t get it, but I respect it.

Just please, please, please, don’t make me listen to her.

Rather than just announcing to the world that your jackassishness knows no bounds, why don’t you try to back up your statement? Not everyone who disagrees with you is dishonest.

Even if he did get a million votes from her, he won by a margin of nearly 9 million votes. So yeah, it might have been slightly closer if not for Oprah, but you still can’t say that he wouldn’t have won without her.

He does politically.

It’s a shame he was denied eligibility to run for (I think) Governor of Ohio because he couldn’t get out of his TV contract.
