She should have stuck to carting her fat on and off stage.

After a series of bad interviews/moves/choices.... such as not being open to interviewing Sarah Palin, to promoting books of liars, pushing forth health/lifestyle gur-types with little to know real credentials, to the issue of abuse at her school in Africa... to supporting Obama... it's no wonder she's going off the air.

It's also my opinion that she's racist and this stems from her time sitting in the same racist, anti-white pews as Obama all those years ago... well, up until she, like Obama, realised that it could hurt their aspirations and pocket book. After he loses the next election Oprah will hire him to be her community organizer and you'll see him giving backyard tours of her Washington residence.

Oprah is a legend and should be respected by everyone the world over. Powerful, african american, came from nothing, sound familiar to a certain President we currently have..

Oprah tells women what they want to hear - who wouldn't appreciate that? Now she's feeding the world her opinions on politics and religion - spiritual guru? Oprah believes no religion is false, your good is just as good as someone else's. Well tell that to Hitler whom obviously thought his deeds were 'good'. Or those who'd kill you for stealing from them - rob from you because they're hungry, etc. etc. Matter of fact, why send a woman to jail if she thought killing her husband was the right thing to do? It was part of her religion.

Seriously though... Someone has to draw the line here, and we're letting a billion dollar rich woman living large tell you how to live? Perhaps I'd have more respect for her if she CHOSE to live average and donated everything else to charity in America. Perhaps I'd respect her if she asked questions and decided to look for the answer, rather than making up her own belief system (without a clear understanding of what Christianity really is). She's comfort to those who believe in nothing (and/or stressed with what they're 'suppose' to believe in), which is majority of America. But I guess there's no such thing as wrong, because so long as you believe in yourself and what you do, and you're confident about it, that's all that matters.

I think she's overrated but don't get me wrong I think she does her job well. It just doesn't bother me if I see her show or not.

Oprah is misleading people with her erroneous beliefs on theology. She seems friendly enough, but is largely responsible for electing the high tax Socialist President we now have in Washington.

Oprah is so full of herself that its sickening. She preaches and her groupy followers take all that she says as gospel. She can more then afford anything that she gives, but unlike others who do genuinely have their hearts in doing and giving to those less fortunate she turns everything into a huge publicity stunt for herself. She should be given the "Drama Queen of the Year" award for the exhibition that she displayed before the election and afterwards. I mean really, how many of you latched onto a complete stranger like she did to that man and carried on like she did? Geez! She's a self absorbed individual and how anyone can stand to watch her is beyond me. There was a time that she was worth the time of day, but that time is long gone and never to be seen again.

The only reason she supported Barrack Hussein Obama running for the office of POTUS, because of his black roots. She has no loyalties to this country or the American people, otherwise she would donate some the money she makes of off the backs of the citizen of the US here at home instead of taken it to her beloved motherland so to say, which is Africa. If she loves Africa so much let her move there. Charity begins at home Oprah not abroad, there are enough children in this country deserving of such large $$$ amounts. To me she is just another Kool-Aid drinking liberal believing everything Obama says.

I used to like her, but I can't stand her now-just another Kool-Aid drinking liberal believing everything Obama says.  I have no use for her after all her trying to get Obama elected and won't give the time of day to Governor Palin.  Plus, Oprah has gotten to be way too self-important and has lost touch with the little people since she's so over the top wealthy now.

OPRAH IS PROOF THAT FAT CHICS CAN GET AHEAD IN LIFE

I respected Oprah until she showed her political "side".! I will no longer be watching her show

Icon!

I do disagree with her on a lot of different aspects, but as far as refusing to have Sarah Palin on her show, that's her right.

I actually agree with Oprah Winfrey in that why should anyone or any group force her to interview Sarah Palin if she doesn't want to? Maybe Sarah Palin isn't interesting enough for her to interview, but then again: it is her show. And political or not, Oprah should be free to call her shots and do what she thinks she ought to do. However, let's not pretend like we don't know where she stands on the political spectrum, as well as who she will support in the upcoming Presidential election. Nevertheless, no one ought to force Oprah to do what she doesn't want to do.

I wish she would go away.

She has become WAY to full of herself. I banned her after the ridiculous show with a psychiatrist that claimed he could hypnotize people and they could find out about their past lives. Oprah said she was afraid to be hypnotized because who new how many past lives she had. How can she call herself a Chrisitian and spout this new age ideology and believe that she has many past lives. As filthy rich as she is I almost feel sorry for her, I believe she used to be generally sincere but I think she glorifies herself and has separated herself from God. In the end, money isn't what matters.

Oprah WAS great -until she walked into the political arena.

Oprah didn't get her start by a socialist society. Oprah got her start because she was a talented, driven and hard working woman.

Socialists expect everone to be on an equal playing field - even a monetary one. I suggest Oprah give every dime she earned to the government - or better yet - share every dime she earned with those who "worship" her. After all, us other woman out there aren't capable of doing it on our own - we need government hand-outs - and Oprah's contribution too!

Like I said - she started out great. But now she is nothing but a political mouthpiece for all her sheep.

She has changed a lot, but shes nice and helps people

I dont see why she is so popular. I could do what she does

i love her

  She is like the spiritual guru of talkshow hosts and she seems to be trying to buy her way into heaven because of all of the giveaways the holds each year, in fact several times per year. She definitely needs to try and live as an average hard working American. Her sufficient wealth is insane and I agree with others, she DOES need to make a significantly HUGE donation in order to make a dent in her wealth. If all of the celebrities did that then we would have probably found help for other countries she seems to concerned about and even diseases she talks about on her show. It's not fair to be a hard working American and see someone on the television who gives gifts to her studio audience and not to the world. It's all materialistic, which is very reminiscent of Christmas. Don't get me wrong, she seems like a nice lady, but it's just the small faults that seem so big.

However, I enjoyed her challenge for people to take money given to them from Oprah and to give it to someone else who needs it. I remember a woman giving $250 to a pizza delivery man.

Oprah Winfrey is an amazing talk show host on quite a few wavelengths. She has proved that working hard eventually pays off for the average status quo citizen. She has managed to use her voice for the right reason and apply her voice to a higher purpose. Despite any criticism or adversity she faces, she manages to prove she will not be thrown into the stereotype. I definitely believe she is someone who should be appreciated, respected, and commended for being who she is, an internationally known talk show host who has brought something new to entertainment.

I don't dislike her. She really is a good talk show host, but in the last few years she has taken on the persona of a spiritual guru. I have a hard time with people who start believing their own press. I liked her better when she was a little more down to earth.

yuk!

just what does oprah do that is so wonderful?

Cross-reference the topic "Retire Already."  There are people who are so pursued by their demons that they can never put it to rest...woe be to the rest of us while those types rip us new a-holes with their psychotic energy, propelled by subconscious fear.  That'll be $200 dollars, Big O, make check payable to Dr. S.

Lost all my respect for her during the build up to the Iraq War.  I feel she added to the scare tactics the Bush administrations was using. Her guests at the time were right wing uninformed neocons.

Had to change my opinion of Oprah when I saw a TV clip of how she helped promote the war with Iraq and dismissed one audience member who dared to question the flawed data Oprah and her panel were presenting as fact. I don't mind that she was misinformed, but I can't stand that she was so closed-minded toward a disenting view.

i think shes gotten too big for her britches...i agree with the people who said she acts like shes a "spiritual guru" shes a talk show host with a lot of money. it doesnt make her more knowledgeable about certain subjects, or any kind of an expert..on anything for that matter. she doesnt have a ph.d or a specific expertise. and shes definitely not better than anyone else. she just has tons of money and was lucky enough to have a show that stayed popular....for whatever reason. she was very lucky, like most celebrities..(luck and being in the right place at the right time and not talent has too make up for about 80% of all famous people)...and although she donates and is involved in charities...until she does something (donates) that actually puts a dent in her fortune, i dont think her efforts should be considered so commendable. yeah she donates a ton, but thats like one of us average working class giving $10.00. its nothing for her. what it costs her to fuel her private jet and send someone just to get her her favorite donuts could feed a small country. why doesnt she live like the average person, all that money she wasnt using or spending could save an entire third world....then she'd actualy be worthy of the credit given to her.

She has set the cause of quiet, hardworkig humanitarianism back a hundred years with her fanatsy give aways and her self-promoting charity work. She's right up there with Alfred Nobel in trying to buy her way into heaven.

I'm not into talk shows much, but she's bright and does a lot of charity, and I think she's ok. As a side note, I seldom see the point in calling out other reviewers unless it's a totally hateful or stupidly sinister post, but does " McGowan" have anything to add besides rampant, illogical anti black hysteria? He's probably written a review laced with 67 angry adjectives that show how Webster from that show hates whites...

O.k., I'll explain it. No more e-mails, please. I made a couple of references in other posts about playing Motorboat on a date with Oprah.

How do you play Motorboat? Well, you stick your face between those two enormous, well you know, and go "BRRRRRR!"

This woman is a male-bashing moron with a microphone.

I have been on her over-orchestrated show in the audience. It is insulting how they arrange the audience by your looks and what "looks" she wants to show up as the audience is panned, even to the point of re-arranging people for different takes, depending on if she is going to sit in the audience. She behaved like a spoiled pampered brat between takes, with problems with her shoes and staff having to put house slippers on her like she was some queen or something.

What can one add about an insitution? Maybe SHE should be the next President!

shes absolutely fantastic but i sumtimes cry wen i watch wat goes on behind closed doors.im 12 yrs old nd hav been watching oprahs show for the last 4 yrs i think shes great if anyone knows how to get hold of her address to write plse write to me nd tell me thanx:kelly-cremin@hotmail.com thank u

I cant believe why people say bad things about her.She has never done anything but good for others.I respect her so much if more people this world would have nothing to worry about.her heart is as big as the world.I believe she would make a good president if she wanted it.I rate her the higest 100

The most overrated talk show host on TV

Shes run out of topics to discuss. Its time for her to move on. 20 years of Oprah is way too much!

I love to watch Oprah. She is a shero of mine. I really love her strong will. We have a similar child hood, and I look at how it doesn't stop her, and I am encouraged to go on.

HI THIS IS DEEPAK FROM INDIA. I LIKE TO THANK OPRAH FOR THE WORK SHE AND HER ORGANISATIONS IS DOING FOR THE POOR PEPOLE ALL AROUND THE GLOBE AND I WANT TO TELL OPRAH THAT HER SHOWS ARE REALLY GREAT , THEY REALLY INSPIRED ME A LOT . THEY HAVE CHANGED ME IN MANY WAYS. IN THE END I REALLY WISH THAT EVERY COUNTRY SHOULD HAVE ATLEAST ONE ANGEL LIKE OPRAH. BYE AND GOD BLESS YOU.

self proclaimed heroine! Phoney too.

I've lost all respect and admiration I was once had for Oprah. Lately she seems to be just into herself, flaunting her wealth, and boasting about all her material things. I often wonder now if any of her "charitable" works are only out of guilt and not sincere compassion. It's really a sad thing. She's just gone too "Hollywood" for me. Seems she's forgotten about the regular people who put her where she is today.

i really enjoy the oprah winfrey show i really look up to her and i hope you do to

I want to know if this is oprahs show or gails show shes always on there whats up with that.

Nasty, just nasty, Oprah makes want to throw up every time I see her, cannot stand this woman, not in the real world, minus 5, terrible......

Her TV show has become an all black show. Check out her schedule forthe week of 14th March.

Not as good as her fans make her out to be.Can be vindictive and self righteous at times.Takes self too seriously.

Why does eveeryone have to bring up the race card?!!Even Oprah herself is guilty of it...despite her so called connections to God. I used to watch Oprah but would not now simply because the women is so wrapped up in her own success i think she has completely lost track of why she became popular in the first place. I have watched her repeatedly embaress anyone that appears on her show that dare have a difference of opinion. The last straw for me came when i listened to her laughing that Ms Winters (head of Vogue and apparently so influential that it even impressed ms Winfrey...)hated fat people!! How could she? Yes, it's fantastic that she's lost the weight and so had her guest but don't use 'health reasons' as a convenient excuse for 'people who don't look good in our clothes.' Fatism is last accepted form of predjudice and shame on you Oprah for supporting that. You obviously think you are so indestructable now and that you have earned the right to shove your opinion down everybody elses throat as though it is the gospel itself. Get over yourself - I have.
