(Oprah) Winfrey on oil disaster: Obama's doing best he can
CNN ^ | June 17, 2010

Posted on 06/17/2010 7:03:00 AM PDT by maggief

EXCERPT

"I think the president is doing the best anybody can," said Winfrey, who campaigned for Obama when he ran for president. "I really don't understand what people want him to do? I think he's the president of the United States.

"You're not supposed to be emotional, you're supposed to take action and get things done and make sure those things happen so I'm not sure what people want him to do," she said.

This is why she has helped so much over the past 20 years to lower the collective U.S. IQ.

Gee, I wonder if she said the same thing about President Bush during Katrina?

Sadly and pathetically, O is doing the best he can.

Too bad it is far far far from enough.

Puke. If they were truly honest they would know that they would be all up in Bush’s ass if it was him as President or any R for that matter. I dont believe her for a second nor do I give a rats ass what she says. We call her Okra in this house.

Who cares what that broad thinks. She’s said way too much over the years.

The sad thing is, Oprah is right, he is doing the best he can.

Would you expect anything more from a ‘community organizer’?

Oprah went to Wright’s church for a while, too.

I quit watching the one CHristmas show where she gives stuff away when all the guys bringing stuff out were White.

The woman’s racist.

“Obama’s doing best he can.”
Yeh, it just isn’t good enough.

I’ll bet Oprah would same the same about Bush.......if he were black.

There’s a huge difference between “doing the best anybody can,” and “doing the best he can.” I’ll agree with the latter, because he’s incompetent at anything aside from parasitic manipulation of the legal and political system, where he’s brilliant.

Never will.

This was my immediate thought, as well.

What else is she gonna say? That’s her boy and she will never say a bad thing. He could burn down an orphanage on Christmas Eve and she would say, “He kept the children warm.”

"I'm not sure what people want him to do," she said."

Drill tons of wells close to the leaker and pump the reservoir dry.
