Original title: Obama 'deserves respect' says Oprah Winfrey as she blasts critics of the President in a television interview

------------------------

The first lady of television has called on critics of President Obama to show 'some level of respect' - even if they weren't in support of his policies.

Speaking on a special edition of Morning Joe today, Oprah Winfrey said the presidency is a position that 'holds a sense of authority and governance over us all'. The chat show host, who also talked about her new network OWN and the end of her long-running show, has been extremely vocal about her support for the president and made many campaign appearances during his race to the White House.

Morning Joe host, Joe Scarborough, recalled the first time Oprah appeared at a campaign event with Barack and Michelle Obama, in South Carolina. He said it felt as though he was watching 'just three leaders' instead of three African American leaders before quizzing her on what she thought of the administration now. 'I have no issues with the Obama administration,' she said.

Oprah achieved success through talent and drive.

I respect her.

The Obamaloon achieved success through corruption, cheating, and hiding his background.

He can go straight to....Mecca. (same as hell)

Yep.

Where were all her calls for respect for Bush?

Screw you Doprah. You helped bring this POS President upon this nation and we will be paying a dear price for decades to come because of people like you.

Somebody needs to explain to that over-hyped PR flack for Obambi that respect is never "deserved" -- it must be earned.

Great!

Her ratings started tanking right after she first stumped for for ‘bummer...and they continue t tank with her new show.

This should help accelerate the process... The O without makeup - fair warning ;o)

Orcah’s ego is surpassed only by Obozo’s....although I’m not sure that that is possible.

She put it ALL on the line and lost ALL credibility by endorsing the Marxist, except among the most brainless of her followers.

She damaged herself severely.

But rather than face facts, her inflated ego demands that she inform the WORLD that SHE is right, and the world is wrong. Up is down and wrong is right.

‘I have no issues with the Obama administration,’ she said.

That has to be a form of mental illness. Narcissism???

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

In other words, he is a ruler.
