Oprah Rips Americans for Not Supporting Obama
Friday, December 10, 2010 | Kristinn

Posted on 12/10/2010 7:25:38 AM PST by kristinn

Syndicated TV talk show host Oprah Winfrey tore into the American people for lacking "reason," "respect," "civility," and "decency" and "only thinking about themselves" for not supporting Barack Obama. Winfrey made her scathing criticism during an interview with ABC's Barbara Walters.

A survey released this week showed that a majority of the country believes they are worse off after nearly two years of the Obama presidency.

WALTERS: "And today, what would you say to him (Obama)? How do you feel about it all?"

WINFREY: "I feel that it is, first of all why would anybody want that job? To get, because no matter what you do and how uh, much you give of your heart and wisdom and uh, soul and energy, and I think he's, he's really fully there, giving his all. And to be criticized the way he is I think it's unfortunate. I think it's unfortunate when you have a nation of people who don't want to support the president of the United States."

WALTERS: "Do you think he's communicating?"

WINFREY: "I think that he is. You know what I think that what wasn't communicated? I think we don't realize was how close we came to depression. And as soon as we got saved from the brink of that we all forgot what that was, we all forgot. And so I think that he has done a lot and I think that people uh, can't see it because they're only thinking about themselves. The fact that people uh, still are out of jobs, but we're not in breadlines, we have forgotten, we have forgotten how close we came.

"So I think that there needs to be a greater level of respect and a sense of uh, decency and civility and reason. And I think we, we've lost that."

"By the way can anyone tell me what other prerequisites one needs to have to become president of the United States besides being a legal U.S. citizen?"

35 years of age and natural born citizen. There is a difference between legal and natural born.

Strange...I don’t recall Miss Winfrey having this same concern during the presidency of George W. Bush. I wonder if that’s because he’s not a Democrat, or because he’s not black? Maybe both?

The problem is that Obama is not supporting the United States of America.

I wonder if she thinks that should have applied to George W. Bush?

Hey Oprah, did you repair your riff with Michelle O?

Oh, and another question, did you ever provide us with an answer as to why you left Jeremiah Wright’s church after having attended there for so many years?

The problem with your chmapion, Ms. Winfrey, is that he has conclusively demonstrated that he is completely unworthy of our respect.














Unless, of course, one believes that abject incompetence merits respect, a position the reasoning voter must reject out of hand.

The Oprah is a pathetic hypocrite.

You left out "Narcissist". Who else publishes their own magazine, named after themself, with their own picture on the cover *every* time.

She and BO are meant for each other.

I feel that it is, first of all why would anybody want that job?

Anybody? Why would a Marxist want the job, Oprah, you capitalist. You speak with fork tongue!

"chmapion" should read "champion."








Incompetence is apparently contagious. ;-)

Totally agree. She is partly to blame for misleading people into voting for this joke of a President. However, I believe some favors by O were returned. Stedman’s family is from Whitesboro, NJ. I found it a little strange when I drove down Route 9 and saw a huge sign from the Government that was advertising how much of the stimulus money was going to this town. Of all the towns and cities in NJ why Whitesboro?

Well, O and 0 are from the same mold..................

Absolutely! This is a woman who puts her own picture on the cover of every issue of her self-titled magazine. It should shock no one that she will blame others for her moronic support of an empty suit failure of a president. Her monumental ego won't allow her to be "wrong" only "misunderstood"....just like her idol.

WINFREY: "I feel that it is, first of all why would anybody want that job?. . ."

Gee, Oprah, if his frequent foreign travel, his criminal buddies in high office and Michelle's 150+ staffers and frequent shopping excursions don't give you a clue, how can anybody explain it?

Hint: There are perks, perks and more perks to being the nation's Royal Family. And with this particular couple, the responsibilities which go with the office can be reassigned to your predecessor. What pair of teenagers wouldn't want such a situation?

Rerwite:

Syndicated TV talk show host Oprah Winfrey SHOULD HAVE tore into the American people for lacking "reason," "respect," "civility," and "decency" and "only thinking about themselves" for not supporting VOTING FOR Barack Obama. Winfrey made her scathing criticism during an interview with ABC's Barbara Walters.

A survey released this week showed that a majority of the country believes they are worse off after nearly two years of the Obama presidency.

WALTERS: "And today, what would you say to him (Obama)? How do you feel about it all?"

WINFREY: "I feel that it is, first of all why would anybody want that job? To get, because no matter what you do and how uh, much you give of your heart and wisdom and uh, soul and energy, and I think he's, he's really fully NOT ALL there, HE'S NOT giving his all, WHAT WITH THE GOLFING AND BASKETBALL GAMES. And to be criticized the way he is I think it's unfortunate FULLY JUSTIFIED. I think it's unfortunate when you have a nation of people who don't want to support the president of the United States UNLESS HE NATIONALIZED COMPANIES, THE BANKING SYSTEM AND HEALTHCARE LIKE A TINPOT SOUTH AMERICAN COMMUNIST DICTATOR."

WALTERS: "Do you think he's communicating?"

WINFREY: "I think that he is. You know what I think that what wasn't communicated? I think we don't realize was how close we came to depression. BUT OBAMA IS DOING EVERYTHING THAT HE CAN TO HELP INSURE THAT WE HAVE ONE. And as soon as we got saved from the brink of that PROSPERITY we all forgot what that was, we all forgot. And so I think that he has done a lot TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY and I think that people uh, can't see it because they're only thinking about themselves GETTING A JOB SO THEY DON'T LOSE THE HOUSE AND STARVE THANKS TO OBAMA. The fact that people uh, still are out of jobs , but we're not in breadlines, we have forgotten, we have forgotten how close we came GOOD THE ECONOMY WAS WHEN BUSH WAS PRESIDENT.

"So I think that there needs to be a greater level of respect and a sense of uh, decency and civility and reason. And I think we, we've lost that SINCE OBAMA TOOK CONTROL."
