Oprah wants 'respect' for Obama

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.”

That attitude is a necessary precursor to fascism.

“holds a sense of authority and governance over us all,”

DOUBLE BARF alert!

“learning curve”????WTH!?!?!?

That inept fool in the WH sold the stupid and ignorant on the claim that he was capable. So is Oprah saying that blacks have a “learning curve” in politics, but whitey doesn’t?

Where were the calls to “give respect to Bush and co.” while they struggled to get things going (”Learning curve?”) due to the sabotage from the clintoons and subsequently 9-11? Bush didn’t whine.

In this job you had better know what in the hell is in store for you before you run for it.

That sorry piece of crap we have for a pResident has been getting his ass handed to him at every turn because he’s such a dumbass.

He can’t “learn” anything because he already thinks he knows everything. Arrogance on display.

STFU Oprah!

oprah, "respect" is NOT part of "Affirmative Action". Respect cannot be demanded as "equal opportunity".

The actions of this president have done nothing but generate disgust for him and his policies.

oprah your sagging ratings and lost of popularity can be laid directly at your slobbering lust for obama and his disgusting wife.

You have let this skinny, long-legged mackdaddy distroy your own career, and you still mount the soapbox to demand that we all 'respect' this clown-in-chief.

oprah you haven't given away enough cars, nor enough gifts "under the seats" to buy respect for obama. In fact, therein lies the problem, obama is following your lead. He's showered his "audience" with gifts (unions, lefties, etc) while the rest of us go without, and you have the audacity to demand "respect" for this jerk.

He is killing the United States, and our freedom, and you think your porky ass is going to demand respect for him?

I know, it's a "black thing", huh? Well, the old race card has about expired in America.

But you keep on hawking your guy, and his wife, and see how far that takes you. Birds of a feather flock together, and you are judged by who your friends are...bye oprah.

This homosexual, anti-Christian racist would never beg for “respect” if Nobama were “white.” She’s a filthy racist and bigot who refuses to look at character rather than the color of one’s skin. Typical worthless Hollyweirdo.

" I was willing to step out for him was because I believed in his integrity and I believed in his heart"

In other words, "I had to support the BLACK candidate, regardless of who or what he was...."

"the presidency is a position that holds a sense of authority and governance over us all"

ONLY in the minds of the Usurper-addicted masses....for the REST of America, The Presidency and its loftiness is gone, as is the Respect of the World for the USA, the stature of the USA, and the VALUES of the USA, as it was founded and intended in the U.S. Constitution.

This woman would be unknown if she were white.....

[null and void]

it is right there past the cream filled center.

Obama has a cream filled center?

Huh?

oh!

*blush*

nevermind!!!

[windsorknot]

BO deserves the same level of respect that he shows for the Constitution and the rule of law.

[Christian4Bush]

about the only thing that made any sense from any DemocRAT during the 2008 Presidential debates was when one of them said, concerning Obama's qualifications, that the job of President doesn't lend itself well to on-the-job training.

And the one who said this...is now his vice-president...

[liberalh8ter]

So what you’re really saying is that even a brain-dead democrat knew the guy wasn’t fit for the job!

Shut your BIG FAT PIG MOUTH and stuff it with more MACARONI and CHEESE!!!

[Carley]

President i won does not have authority and governance over the country.

Get thee to the constitution, dear Oprah.

[IronJack]

“Learning curve?” “LEARNING CURVE????!!!!” The man is president of the United States, for cripes’ sake, not a rookie machinist tinkering with a turret lathe! Maybe he should have learned his craft BEFORE he took a job as leader of the free world.

The White House is no place for on-the-job training. And Barack Obama is the rankest amateur. He doesn’t have the experience to be an alderman in Pumpkin Junction.

[Christian4Bush]

So what you’re really saying is that even a brain-dead democrat knew the guy wasn’t fit for the job!

YOU BETCHA!

[Cheetahcat]

Oprah take your fat Azz out and find his papers for a start,Then remind the Idiot what country this is,Where even a racist Pig like you can become rich.

[Recovering_Democrat]

The Oprah has spoken! Obey The Oprah!

[hosepipe]

[ yeah!... show the guy some damn respect!... It’s not easy toppling the greatest democracy that ever existed on the face of the planet! ]

America is not a democracy..
Democracy is MOB Rule by mobsters.. all of them..
NO democracy ever existed that was democratic.. it is a lie.. a scam..

Every democracy is maintained by mobsters seeking to promote Mob Rule..
-OR- to protect YOU from problems they themselves have created..
Democrats are IDIOTS... problem is many republicans are in fact democrats in their heart..

Therein lies "the Problem"...
