EXCERPT
"I think the president is doing the best anybody can," said Winfrey, who campaigned for Obama when he ran for president. "I really don't understand what people want him to do? I think he's the president of the United States.
"You're not supposed to be emotional, you're supposed to take action and get things done and make sure those things happen so I'm not sure what people want him to do," she said.

(ppffttt!) out my nose.
You brought this to mind:
anyone lived in a pretty how town
by E. E. Cummings
anyone lived in a pretty how town
(with up so floating many bells down)
spring summer autumn winter
he sang his didn’t he danced his did
Women and men(both little and small)
cared for anyone not at all
they sowed their isn’t they reaped their same
sun moon stars rain
children guessed(but only a few
and down they forgot as up they grew
autumn winter spring summer)
that noone loved him more by more
when by now and tree by leaf
she laughed his joy she cried his grief
bird by snow and stir by still
anyone’s any was all to her
someones married their everyones
laughed their cryings and did their dance
(sleep wake hope and then)they
said their nevers they slept their dream
stars rain sun moon
(and only the snow can begin to explain
how children are apt to forget to remember
with up so floating many bells down)
one day anyone died i guess
(and noone stooped to kiss his face)
busy folk buried them side by side
little by little and was by was
all by all and deep by deep
and more by more they dream their sleep
noone and anyone earth by april
wish by spirit and if by yes.
Women and men(both dong and ding)
summer autumn winter spring
reaped their sowing and went their came
sun moon stars rain
Nothing is all he has to offer.
You wanna see a solution?
Threaten to release all his academic and passport records in 24 hours unless the leak is stopped.
The Whiney Bitch would be in a wetsuit with a cork in hand in 5 minutes.
Eat S&it Oprah. You wanted this idiot, and now we are all stuck with an affirmative action president. His best isn’t good enough. He needs to resign and let a grown up do the job.
Really??
I think she was merely in "ministerial" competition with him - she has her own kook ministry to promote.
You wanna talk religious kooks? Oprah is at the top of the list when it comes to sphere of influence.
For instance she promotes the ideas and the authors of books like "The Shack" by William Young
And "The Secret"
One of the reviews excerpted:
The Secret is nothing more than so-called Name It-Claim It, Positive-Confession, Prosperity Theology (minus God and the Bible), built on a foundation of New Age self-deification.
In other words, the book is just a secular version of what some TV preachers have taught for decades: Namely, if you will sustain the right thoughts, words and feelings, you will receive whatever you want. But The Secret adds this important twist: your thoughts can bring anything into your life because you are god.
Books that promise health and wealth for their practitioners are published every day. But few associate such promises with Byrne's breathtaking audacity. She proclaims to her readers, "You are God in a physical body. You are Spirit in the flesh. You are Eternal Life expressing itself as You. You are a cosmic being. You are all power. You are all wisdom. You are all intelligence. You are perfection. You are magnificence. You are the creator, and you are creating the creation of You on this planet" (p. 164).
If that weren't blasphemous enough, realize that the book your neighbors and co-workers are reading more than any other also tells them, "The earth turns on its orbit for You. The oceans ebb and flow for You. The birds sing for You. The sun rises and it sets for You. The stars come out for You. Every beautiful thing you see, every wondrous thing you experience, is all there for You. Take a look around. None of it can exist, without You. No matter who you thought you were, now you know the Truth of Who You Really Are. You are the master of the Universe. You are the heir to the kingdom. You are the perfection of Life. And now you know The Secret" (p. 183)...." ~ DON WHITNEY
And we won't even bother to go into her promotion of anti-semetic, Israel-bashing / Palestinian promoting people like Deepak Chopra.
Weakness, Vanity, and Cruelty: A Glimpse into the Moral Dementia of Deepak Chopra
Excerpt:
"... You see, in Chopra's twisted moral world, no one is good or evil except people who believe in good and evil (with the exception of Chopra, who clearly believes that people who fight evil, especially when they are conservatives, are evil).
What does the morally retarded holy man advise? We need "to see equality between Arabs and Israelis, not in terms of right and wrong, but in terms of two opponents equally victimized by hatred." No one is right and no one is wrong, except for people who believe there is no excuse for terror. Israelis who are victimized by Palestinian terror are in actuality victimized by their hatred of the terror. Get it? ..."

Spiritual Gnosis vs. Progressive Gnosticism
Excerpt:
"...Goldberg writes that "Obamas apostles include his wife, Michelle, who insists she is 'married to the only person in this race who has a chance at healing this nation.'" In this regard, she has testified that We need a leader whos going to touch our souls because, you see, our souls are broken.... The change Barack is talking about is hard, so dont get too excited, because Barack is going to demand that you, too, be different.
Thus, after one merges with Obama and is illuminated by the Truth for which he stands, one commences with the hard work of purification, as we struggle to make ourselves worthy of the grace we have received. In other words, ask not what Obama can do for you. Ask what you can do for Obama.
Goldberg cites numerous examples to show how much of the messianic language that encircles Obama "is more New Age than New Testament." He quotes Gary Hart, who says that the Anointed One "is not operating on the same plane as ordinary politicians, but is an "agent of transformation in an age of revolution, whatever that means. Likewise, the dreadful spirit hustler and enlightenment pimp, Deepak Chopra, claims that Obama represents a quantum leap in American consciousness, while another pneumapath and career guru, Eve Konstantine, says that he is our collective representation of our purest hopes, our highest visions and our deepest knowings.... Hes our product out of the all-knowing quantum field of intelligence. (Deepest knowings? She doesn't even know that "knowings" isn't a word.) And Oprah Winfrey suggests that Obama doesn't only "speak" truth but ___is the Truth___ who will help us evolve to a higher plane. ..." bttt
Wonderful Oprah just wonderful...What a leader!!!!
we call her Offal
Yeah, but at least she's got some good white folks working for her.
I got a much needed chuckle this morning as the news seems to be "if it bleeds it leads". Nobody more concerned than myself about the disastrous spill.
I remember Oprah's little tale of her mother- who we presume, could only guide a little Oprah to domestic service. "Choose GOOD white folks to work for" was her mothers advice. Oprah crowed, "I've got lottsa white folks workin' for me". She showed off smiling white folks beaming at their good fortune. I will say that a job is a job- in her defense.
If they stomped on the BP executive for his "small people" remark, why did the Oprah get a pass? (rhetorical question). Back to the main thrust after my ramble Yeah there is the El Marharushie himself. One of the white folks. Rush Limbaugh speaking out for every one's right to an opinion- or gloat as the case may be.
Obama, he’s just going through the morons.
The real tragedy here is that Obama's supporters are blind to his incompetence, and will continue to loudly and ignorantly praise his name until the very end.
Did you see the video of her saying this? No, not the one they have put out..the actual video?
She’s going to need 2 plane seats...
A message to Oprah: What do people expect him to do? Check with Sarah Palin. Also, why do you support a thug? Why do you support someone who hates America and its allies and stomps on our constitution and laws left and right? Why do you support someone who is obviously leading America into slavery, tyranny and poverty? Do you really have any heart or ethics? If so, why are you not outraged over the injustices which have occurred at the hand of this administration? Gerald Walpin, Chryslers, Israel, Honduras, Sarah Palin and her family and children, and the list goes on and on. You seem to be selective in your compassion and sense of decency. More and more people are seeing this as each day passes. My neighbors who are elderly will never vote Democrat again because Obama took away their Medicare Advantage. So many people who did not see the truth about your hero are waking up, Oprah. They are also seeing through you. Sleep well.
