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 MSNBCs 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 youre not in support of his policies, there has to be some level of respect.
Oprah knows it is much easier to demand respect than it is to command respect.
Yeah...I want a lot of things too...doesn’t mean I’m going to get them...
Oprah, surely knows that respect is earned and not given “because it is due”.
Obama has done nothing to earn the respect of any American.
He has done much to earn the disrepect of many.
We need a leader, but we are stuck with Obama..
As soon as the scumbag dhim does anything to earn some.
That’s disgustingly funny....
When he earns my respect he will get it.
So far I have no respect for the lying muslim.
I would love to see every member of the House get an e-mail filled with cogent reasons for Obama's removal.
Yeah! Should we respect the perpetrator of DeathCare, who sells us out to the muslims every chance he gets? And who destroys the wealth of our nation, for the benefit of his bankster friends? NO WAY!!!!
And you, Oprah, are a BIG NOTHING!!!!
Dear Oprah, If you would try to stop stuffing your face with twinkies, maybe you would be able to see the incompetence and evil nature of your beloved Community Organizer. Ps it is right there past the cream filled center.
Walter Williams documents this “phenomenon” in his excellent autobiography, “Up From The Projects”. When you expect less from people because of some “disadvantage”, you do more harm to them in the long run. What our diversity and affirmative action policies have done is give us someone who is utterly unprepared and unqualified to handle the job. Period.
Sorry, you narcissitic wench. Go back to OWN and try to save your failing network.

When Zero stops trying to destroy my country and does something worthy of my respect, the office he is holding, and the country he respresents, only THEN will he has earned a modicum of respect. The reason is that respect EARNED, not given. Until that time, pound sand Ms. Winfrey.
Oprah...Your Fired!
I wonder what Winfrey would have to say if Obama went out and blew 1.9 trillion dollars on her credit cards and allowed illegal aliens to set up shop on her Montecito estate.
You think she’d be demanding respect for him at that point?
Well, I only give respect to those who have earned that respect. obama hasn’t done so.
How can we respect him when he bows to other world leaders. Stupid is as stupid does.
People in hell want ice water.
Respect a lying islamist? She´s as screwy as he is.
What about Man Country, Michele? Or is that just a cultural thing for male islamist pigdogs?
