Oprah wants 'respect' for Obama
Politico ^ | February 11, 2011 | MJ Lee

Posted on 02/11/2011 5:59:45 AM PST by John W

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.”

Why should I/we respect someone who first and foremost doesn’t respect America and it’s citizens?

Why should I respect someone who doesn’t respect our constitution and the rule of law?

Why should I respect someone who respects our sworn enemies more than the citizens he’s sworn to protect?

Why should I respect someone who follows Karl Marx instead of Thomas Jefferson?

FU Oprah!

LOL!

He’s called us bible-clinging teabaggers who are his enemies and need to sit at the back of the bus.

No president who respects his own office would have said such things.

"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."

Thanks for the laugh! This self-important POS sure has a lot of nerve telling us how to think and express ourselves. She and her kind never gave an ounce of respect for W. F off and die, Oprah.

Respect for the office is vastly different than respect for the man.

Perhaps Oprah might want to contemplate just how much respect Barry has for the office when he's seen so often with his feet on the furniture.

I’ll give Obama the same respect the libs gave George Bush. Surely the libs wouldn’t object to that, would they...?

Look at what you're saying, Oprah, and when you do, you'll realize just how ignorant and hypocritical you really are.

1) You supported Obama because he was liberal and black - period. Therefore, you're vote was racially based and in PC land, that makes you a racist.

2) Your pleas for respect towards Obama are laughable at best. Never in your darkest dreams would you have EVER asked the same for Bush 1&2 or Reagan. Why? Because they were white republicans.

Your hypocrisy is breathtaking to say the least.

The commies and leftists showed zero respect for George Bush. They vilified him. So your hero may be a black Kenyan...... But so what, he is going to get the same

Oprah’s real message is “You must respect your Black master”. If he was white socialist the Oprah would have nothing to say

Well then Oprah, shouldn’t you also then respect FLOTUS? She’s demanding you drop the double-cheezeburger diet, but I see you’re not budging there. Shut your ignorant Twinkie hole.

Oprah might want to wise up and take a look at the amount of “respect” obama has for her customer base.
Hey oprah, how many of your fans are now out of work because of your hero? If anything she should be really pissed about what the kenyan is doing to her fans.

But her loyalty is on full display.

What is she so upset about? He won.

Too bad Mr. Obama can’t count, and believes that private industry has two main functions: 1) To hire people 2); to pay taxes for phony-baloney programs that don’t work and never will work.

He’s a good husband and a good father, but he does not understand a great deal about how and why America exists.

I want O-frah to go away......forever. I hope her network tanks, her girlfriend leaves her and her skin is forever ashy. She helped foist this Muslim on us. For that, she’ll never be forgiven.
