The scoop from Washington

Why Obama, Michelle, are Oprah show guests on Wednesday By Lynn Sweet on April 25, 2011

WASHINGTON--President Obama and First Lady Michelle fly to Chicago on Wednesday afternoon to tape an Oprah Winfrey show, and White House Press Secretary Jay Carney was asked Monday why the First Couple agreed to the interview.

"Her show is coming to a conclusion of a -- of a terrific run," said Carney of Winfrey's decision to fold the show this year after 25 years.

"And I think, as you know, he considers Oprah a friend and he looks forward to being on the show with the first lady."

“A friend of mines daughter won a new Mini Cooper valued at $20,000. The tax she was going to have to pay was near $10,000. She was offered the car or $10,000. She took the money but probably lost half of that in taxes.”

Ok, but that’s not Oprah’s fault. I don’t know the particulars, but I do know the tax liability on winnings is high. But if you say you’ll give me something worth $20k that I’ll owe $10k in taxes on, bring it on. In fact, you can give me as many of those deals as you like, and I won’t complain!

My point is, Oprah is racist and she picked a side in the 2008 election, but in previous elections she had refused to pick sides. For that, among other things, I find her to be disgusting. But to complain about non issues sort of seems silly.

Oprah used to attend Jeremiah Wright’s racist “church” as well.

Do you have any scientific data you can cite that indicate pit bulls are more dangerous than other breeds of dog?

Are you serious? Do you think they're just little fluffy dogs with widdle temper problems????? I guess you don't get newspapers, watch news, or stay up to date . . . Sorry!

Your pull quote and response do not match up with my post. Wrong thread perhaps?
