All this talk about black and white is so stupid. We are all Americans, you don't hear people saying that
their are Japanese american or Portuguese american, why do the blacks have to say this, they were born in America and not in Africa so they are americans. If any one is playing the race card it is Obama, We were
all getting along pretty good till he got in office, his playing the white against the blacks in the town hall meeting, he will destroy our country, that is his agenda, The people of America have to wake up and stop
him before it's to late. Sorry Oprah I love you very much but I stop watching your show when you didn't
want to have Palin on your show, not very fair and balanced even if you were for Obama. Oprah voted for
Obama because he's black and not for what he can do for our country, because he does not know the first thing about running our country

Are you kidding me????? Why don't you do your history homework before you blab not knowing what you blab about!!! When the slaves were set free after the war… Many became active politically and all became republicans!!! That is why the KKK first started it was the dems against the repubs not black against white!! It just happened that most blacks at that time were repubs!!! The blacks that came out of slavery had the attitude that if they could work that hard for themselves they could go somewhere and do something great for this country and the white dems fought to keep them down. Now, the dems have you believeing that the government is the answer to all your problems and will provide all of your needs, when in fact the blacks that came out of slavery knew that God is the only provider that they needed not the government!!! You should brush up on your history and know that repubs like me will fight for you and right beside you to the death. Not because of the color of your skin but because the goodness of your heart!!

Marilyn, have you travel around the world yet.? Oprah's green and white are not the same to her. Sarah Palin already had enough education. She does have more expericend than your obama.
Oprah jejoursy about the other poeople like Sarah Palin because she's more petty than her! than so sad for her.

You are 100% right about this. Let go back during the campaign season if you remember anythings?
This is Oprah problems. She's jelousy about a women, she had fogotted that she's a woman also.
She never measure twices before she cut. Between white paper and green paper is very a big issue to her. To me after I watched her show, and apprea what she did is for her profits only.
Thank you Uma Louisville, KY

I believe the remarks which says that Sarah Palin was "self-centered, self-seeking" are ironic. When a person runs for office, let's hope it is for themselves, although every time I heard her speak, she certainly talked about McCain and this country and how she would like to improve it for herself. Matter-of-fact, a selfish person does not CHOOSE to have a baby born with Downs, knowing it will be a tough time ahead, she also doesn't CHOOSE to run for office, knowing women, who for some reason seem to get a kick out of tearing other women down for person and petty things, will pick on her. Even Oprah, although I do not agree with her philosophies, religion (or lack thereof), ideas or politics, has the grace to at least clearly state her adoration of Obama and steer somewhat away from engaging in a cat-fight.

As far as Palin's appearance on Katie Couric's show, it is clear Couric (and it just occured to me that the woman above for some reason threw race into the discussion which should be non-relevant unless she has a bone to pick about white people), is a news anchor for a liberal leaning news outlet and for that reason, no matter how you paint the picture, was already poised to pounce.

Too bad Palin didn't have at a minimum the respect of women during this campaign, if not their support, even if they didn't agree with her politics. After all, you can't really tell me that 80-90 percent of the African American in this country voted for Obama strictly because of his IDEAS now, can you? Especially when a good number of those claim, each Sunday, in church, that they are vehemently opposed to many of the issues he supports on the basis of morality. Now who is being disingenuous?

Pam you have got to be NUTTS and you must be a REPUBLICAN… I must admit I LOL for real when you stated Sarah commands attention..Why of course she does with the stupidity that flows from her mouth – one can't help but wait to hear what she says next. Oprah is and ALWAYS will be a powerful woman and doesn't need to "demand" attention as you put it. People are drawn to Oprah because she "thinks" before she speaks, unlike Sarah Palin. Katie Couric, a white woman, tore Sarah apart so why in the world would Oprah be fearful of having her on her show, she couldn't even handle an interview from a newscaster. Sarah proved she is not fit for the White House and is right back where she belong, in Alaska with her quirky style and moose-hunting family!

THUMBS UP FOR OBAMA!!!

Pam: I salute Oprah Winfrey for choosing not to have Sarah Palin on her show. After all, it is HER show and Oprah was supporting Barack Obama, an intelligent choice. Why should Oprah have given her a platform to promote herself (Palin). Wise decision on Oprah's part. Also, Sarah Palin proved during the campaign to be a self-centered, self-seeking person with her own agenda. Poor thing, doesn't she realize she needs to go back to school and become more knowledgeble into wordly affairs before she can even consider pursuing a high office in this beautiful land of ours.

While both Oprah and Sarah Palin are powerful women, the similarities end there. Oprah's strength is her wealth, Sarah's strength is her character and experience. Oprah demands attention, Sarah commands it. Oprah's self worth is wrapped up in all that she has obtained. Strip away all the fluff and Oprah becomes non-descript, while Sarah will still be a woman of substance. Oprah's decision to not have Sarah on her show has nothing to do with politics, it has everything to do with fear. Oprah's fear of a woman more powerful than she. How revealing…how sad.

You apparently were not around during the late 50s, 60s, and 70s, to witness the fight of the white woman to gain some equality in the workplace and the courts. It has been as struggle for me, as a white woman in her 60s. I find that it continues, but has smoothed over as a male-dominated world (both white and black, both christian and non-christian) continue in their efforts to subdue women (white and non-white) and put them in their place. It is a continuing struggle and I see the young women of this country failing to understand that they still need to stand their ground and continue to fight for equal rights with a male-dominated world. I have seen improvement over the years, but there is still a long way to go to gain equal rights for women. The defeat of the Equal Rights for Women admendment should have been the sounding of the warning bell. Just remain strong, adamant and firm in your committment to change the way the world perceives women.

Oprah should not have Palin on her show. I Sarah Palin was interviewed by Oprah Palin would be knocking all of Oprah’s question out of the ball park. Home runs as they say. It would be apparent that Sarah Palin has far, far more executive experience then Barack and this would cost him votes among thinking women. This would expose Oprah for the wicked woman we know she is.
Besides, this is a good lesson to all that women really don’t want other women to succeed through the “Glass Ceiling”. If they did, Oprah would be right there beside Sarah Palin supporting her and all thinking women will vote Republican.

Just my 2 cents...

I believe Oprah can do whatever she wants with regard to whom she has on her show...whether people like it or not...or whether it makes her look good or bad.

That said, I don't care all that much for Oprah. I find it interesting that, because of her popularity, her show makes that much of a difference in people's lives. I believe that Oprah is well aware of how much impact her celebrity status, her show, her opinions has on her audience.

Most of the time I don't think that her show is very balance when it comes to showing both sides of a given story or issue.

I think that Oprah knew having BO on her show would push his status up the Political ladder and that there was a good possiblity of BO running for President. If you don't think that Oprah had an agenda, then you're naive. She's a smart woman...smart enough, that after she announced her support of BO, she then said she wouldn't use her show as a political platform.

Yeah right...like non of her previous guests had a political agenda (Al Gore, anyone?).
