VANITY: I can't help but wonder if Oprah feels "used or "duped" by Barack...

As she opens her 25th and final season on her very successful talk show career, I can't help but wonder if Oprah feels "used" or "duped" by Barack Obama. Since we are witnesses to the most disastrous administration in the United States since Jimmy Carter, I wonder what Oprah thinks about Barack Obama and Michelle and whether or not she should've still endorsed him back in 2008.

Discuss.

Like your average whore feels “used”.

[Sloane_Ranger]

Who cares...they deserve each other.

[workerbee]

Slow day in your neck of the woods?

[Genoa]

I don’t think she accepts your premise.

Oprah is on the Obama boat and will go down with the ship. She has made her billions and has nothing to loose.

I think she’s fine.

She doesn’t exactly run in the same circles as the rest of. I doubt she’s really aware of what she’s done to us and attributes any suffering to Bush.

[Gabrial]

The more people that are out of work, the more that may watch her crap on TV. Seems like its a synergistic relationship to me.

Oprah should marry Deepak Choprah & take his last name.

[mnehring]

I bet she is a “true believer” who sees this country as a cancer and the ‘damage’ that Obama is doing akin to chemotherapy to achieve their Utopian vision.

[The Comedian]

I think you overestimate the intellect and analytical ability of the average African-American media star.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

On the other hand, if her new network isn’t on basic a LOT of people who would have watched it won’t be doing so now due to household finances.

Ha! Ha! OPRAH!

[TheThirdRuffian]

I think she is a black bigot and looks little farther than the color of his skin.

To the extent she looks beyond his skin color, she is happy evil whitey and America is getting punished and gettin’ a taste of the medicine it deserves for how evil it is.

Oprah, Palin, & Beck

By Rob Cunningham Wednesday, September 30, 2009

In 2007, Oprah Winfrey, the Chicago-based Queen of Talk TV first introduced the term, “The One”, and officially endorsed Senator Barack Obama’s candidacy before a widely televised national audience. It could easily be argued she launched the Obama-mania craze. There’s no doubt she played a pivotal role in Obama’s victory.

Ms. Winfrey’s ardent support of Obama continues to alienate many of her traditional female fans and furthermore, her “coolness” towards conservative Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Senator John McCain’s 2008 running mate, continues to aggravate her more conservative, traditional fans. Ms. Winfrey, a so called champion of women’s rights, with her “You Go Girl” advocacy, oddly seemed uninterested about the compelling life story and personal accomplishments of the most popular female Governor in the United States. How has Ms. Winfrey’s political advocacy for “The One” affected her fortunes? According to a published September 9, 2009, AP article, “Winfrey is still the queen of daytime television, but the aura of invincibility is gone. The average viewership for “The Oprah Winfrey Show” slipped under 7 million last season, down 7 percent from the year before, according to Nielsen Media Research. One week during the July rerun season, the show had its lowest ratings since its 1985 debut.” Oprah’s decision to lend her public image to Obama, with a 49% Rasmussen approval rating, may be one significant factor in her media franchise value shrinking by hundreds of millions of dollars.

Shortly after Oprah’s endorsement of Barack Obama, both Governor Sarah Palin and Fox News TV personality Glenn Back, exploded onto the national scene. Although Palin & Beck had successful careers in politics and the media, respectively, their national profiles skyrocketed in 2008 during the U.S. Presidential election season. Beck is a multiple New York Times #1 best selling author, one of the highest rated “Kings of Talk TV” and a nationally syndicated, talk radio host, with audience ratings among the highest ever recorded. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is a “conservative rock star”, easily commanding more than $100,000 per public appearance, 1.5 million advance copies of her upcoming book , “Going Rogue” ordered by Harper Collins, and the most popular political figure among grass roots conservatives. Both have been “honored” with Saturday Night Live spoofs.

Media elites denigrate Palin & Beck while their popularity with voters soars. Did I mention that both Beck & Palin currently have books ranked #2 & #3, respectively, on Amazon.com’s bestseller list? And who’s seeking a government bailout?

I wonder if Oprah realizes the election of this scum is a great travesty in that the first black president is of the lowest caliber imaginable.

[ReneeLynn]

Hahaha, Oprah Choprah.

Duped? She knew what she was doing.

[ozzymandus]

Oprah has no clue about the real world. Her only interest in Obama is the color of his skin.

[Osage Orange]

Don’t wonder.....The fact that he’s black trumps anything.
