Oprah called on President Obama's critics on Friday to “show some level of respect.”

"I feel that everybody has a learning curve, and I feel that the reason why I was willing to step out for him was because I believed in his integrity and I believed in his heart," the influential TV host said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” in Chicago.

Of the negative mood of the country, Oprah added, “I think everybody complaining ought to try it for once.”

She said the presidency is a position that “holds a sense of authority and governance over us all,” and that “even if you’re not in support of his policies, there has to be some level of respect.”

Who does she think she is?

Respect is a two way street; she makes me sick. Wish she’d just go away...

[NRG1973]

Does Oprah mean that we should show 0bama the same level of respect that he has shown Mubarak?

[Red Badger]

When HE respects the US Constitution, I’ll respect him.................

Miss Winney can kiss my arse.

[Rummyfan]

I think she thinks she’s just a level below God, or maybe co-God. Regardless she should shut her piehole regarding politics because when she talks about it she reveals just how stupid and arrogant she is.

STFU,Orca.

[Redleg Duke]

Respect must be earned...not demanded!

[crosshairs]

Let Aretha sing it, you cow.

[The_Victor]

My respect has to be earned.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Absolutely disgusting. The man himself has absolutely no respect for the office of the Presidency and has trashed and tarnished America everywhere he goes. He has total disdain of the greatness and exceptionalism of the United States. Yet she wants US to respect him. What trailer park trash.

[Islander7]

Oh great, support an empty suit with no real world experience, then hope he can learn his job OJT...smart, real smart.

[GoCards]

Hmmm. Let me think about it.... NO

[Le Chien Rouge]

Where was she during 2000-2008 when President Bush was regularly dissed by everyone from the media to Hollywood???

I guess Republicans don’t count.

[kevkrom]

Respect is earned, not given.

Get back to me when “The Won” does anything worthy of respect.

And what a learning curve it is!

Try what, complaining? I could, I suppose, but if all my kids started, I'd be massively outnumbered.

Or does she mean we should try being unemployed, being overregulated, being accused of racism, paying $3.15 for gas, dealing with steadily increasing food prices ... ooops, we tried that. It stinks.

Or does she mean we should try being so incredibly rich that nothing short of a nuclear attack will affect our totally insulated world?

Harpo, babe - I’ll respect Dear Leader like you “respected” GWB.
