The Oprah decline did begin with her avid endorsement of Obama.

Many white middle class ladies watched her show. She lost them when she campaigned for Obama and started delving into far left kookery.

Oprah has become so yesterday now.

Once upon a time, Oprah could actually have a good show- unlike so many of the "baby-daddy-mama-drama" that seems to be on TV these days. (I don't sit at home and watch, but my job involves going into other people's homes, and it's appalling what people do sit and watch).

I remember one from quite a number of years ago now, I'd guess 15-20 years. Oprah actually did a show where she encouraged young black people to educate themselves, to learn to speak correctly, and to learn how to act like civilized human beings, if they wanted to get anywhere in life. She pointed out that she would never have been given the opportunity to have had a television program if she talked "ghetto" all the time. When told that she was encouraging them to "act white" she rebutted that no, proper English was actually race-neutral, and was simply that standard means of communication.

I have to wonder if she would do a show like that again today.

Also, she mocked white women during the election who dared to voice concerns about Obama.

Cant these libs figure out that everything BO touches goes to hell. Liberals are stupid.

Yeah, it only took them a couple of decades to wander away.

And shunning McCain.
