Quit Complaining about Oprah, first you people complain that she spends to much and you can't afford the items on her favorite list! Now you complain when she buys things you can afford! It's just no pleasing you guys! If you ask me, (who cares if you didn't) she spends to much of her time catering to ungrateful people! She doesn't have to give away anything!

Hey Richard, what about your man Rush Limburger Cheese, he don't give anything to those idiots who make him rich what do you have to say about that you idiot.

Since so many of us have less money to spend this holiday season, does it not make sense to show gifts that the average person can afford? It is better for the advertisers/suppliers of the products to show things that we can actually buy. It is a smart move, and Oprah is a smart business woman. Oprah had Obama on her show as an author when his book came out and BEFORE he announced his candidacy. All you Oprah haters, can not convince me that is she showed on your doorstep with an expensive gift that you would turn it down. In past years, audience members for her Favorite Things episode left with thousands of dollars worth of gifts, regardless who paid for it, the audience didn't - they got in for free and walked away with truckloads of gifts. Get over yourselves, already.

Richard ~ I'm behind you brother! And for you Rush hater. What about teh woman he bought the FULLY LOADED SUBURBAN FOR? I believe he has also made a payment on her mortgage for her since then too. Has Oprah made a payment on your mortgage, or anyone elses mortgage that you know? Yeah, I thought not.

Who the hell are you? I know that your opinion may matter to you but i can't see where Ms.O has screwed anyone.. Can you show me where this is at.. all the woman has done is give and give and give more and more, she is trying to make things better for everyone but its people like you that make everything into a racsual issue. Ms.O to me seems to be a very giving and loving person who lives life to the fullest, and you sit there and write stuff like that ,I can't understand why NEGAITIVEpeople have to be around when they act stupid like this, your attitude is what makes the world ugly. I hope that you make things better between you and your god and maybe some day you will have something nice to say about people like Ms. O, but before i finish i have one question.. Is your hateful attitude towards Ms. O because she is rich,or black or a woman and that she expresses her feelings and beliefs?
I wish you nothing but happy holiday may god bless you and yours.

I heard the

Oprah Winfrey Show' May Be Close To Its End?

http://www.curiousread.com/2008/11/oprah-winfrey-show-may-be-close-to-its.html

I wonder how much truth is to that

Are you kidding me????? Oprah donates to more organizations that most celebraties. Stop looking for a free hand out all of the time. Why on earth should she have to give things away for free? She worked hard for her money. If more Americans had the ambition and determination that she has this country wouldn't be in the position that it is in. Get off your lazy butts and get a job.

And I bet people like you will be first in line when she does have a handout. Get your own damn fridge.

can't stand ophra since she went publicly political. haven't watched her since, and won't........

This is a shame and shameful of Oprah, she is the richest woman in the world, She probally didn't pay for the gifts, but she could have afforded them, it's all greed, She helped Obama in ways, i am sure we will never find out.She was'nt for the best man for the job, for Pres Elect, she was for the color of his skin, she proved that, by making such a big deal of it, (afterwards of course).Believe me she will loose none of her money, Obama will see to that, And it's people like her,and the other rich, who should be footing the bill, Thats needed in our country. one person should not have so much money,And be proud of it,Just because they made a movie, are put a ball in a hoop, or sang a song,She has so many homes she just pays labor to keep them going,she probally hasn't, been to most of them in years.. When some don't have anyhome at all,Football, Basketball, all sports and actors, make way to much money, let them save our country.even Brad Pitt help OUR country, but with all he has done he could have build a village,on his own and it would not have hurt his pocket book, So don't give him to much credit, because he took alot af donation.People who have that much money, Don't give a second thought to the poor, They change, The greed taks over, They may pretent to care, NOT,,I am on disability at 45, I take care of my ailing mother with no ideal of what to do with her, when i cant take care of her anymore,I have no nanny to do for her, While i try to have a life of my own, And i am still young. Do you think they care if i can feed her are not, Are what happens when i need more help than i can give her, She has polioand getting worse by the day, does anybody no how depressing that is, How it make a daughter feel.No they fly on there private jets to where ever, Just for brunch,she helps people in other coutries, usually of color, When the white woman americans is the minority now, and i have never been married, so no help ther either,Do we get help, hell no.do you think Oprah would give a helping hand to me, or others in OUR country.NOT.. I use to like oprah, Now i turn the channel when she comes on. you would think she would remember when she was poor, It hasn't changed, i am not racist, But i am a single white woman, who barely gets buy in life, I had a good job once, I was a firefighter in chemical plant in houston, let go because of ptss,Now i was just a liabity to them, Because i was burned at 4.never ask anythig of anyone, exspessly men, i want to do it on my own, I was stripped of the job i thought i would retire at, for becoming a risk, instead of giving help, that i gave my life to.... So did Ellen she use to be so funny, now that she has money, greed took over, All she talks about is herself, I think all the rich should stand up and help our country, Not bask in it, and wounder which house or vacation is on there mind to go to, stop giving so little to charitys, To make yourself look good and help our folks get back on their feet, Yes i am upset with Oprah, but there is so many other who could help, its just pocket change to them, or a write off, Oprah why don't you do a survey of the poor that can still be helped, get all your rich friends, and help those people, in OUR country that could once again be proud, become more, have a better life, there are people with degrees, like me, who just need a helping hand, don't act like your loosing money, we all know you couldn't spend that money in five lietimes. I respected you so much, but you have let, for the most part american woman down, along with the so many rich,i bet you ate well today, i bet you do nothing for yourself anymore, you pay to have you pillow fluffed, in heart of hearts you know its true. roxanne, from florida, trying to get my mom back to the state we love so well,Texas, not that will help much, with 2 woman on disability, if you read this, and not you staff, i thank you for your time,352-432-3025 just in case you want to yell at me for speaking my oppinion

This is America after all........the almighty dollar

You people are out of your ever-loving minds. Do you think any of the hosts that give away prizes give them away out of their own pockets? Get real! Do you really think Pat Sajak (Wheel of Fortune), Bob Barker (The Price is Right), Alex Trebek (Jeopardy), Monty Hall (Let's Make a Deal), Richard Dawson (Family Fued) or any other host of a show that gave/gives away gifts, in the history of mankind, actually ponied up from their own bank account? The answer is heck no! Companies "use" these shows to "advertise" their products at a fraction of the cost of what it would cost them otherwise, and the hosts of these shows "use" the companies to promote their shows. It's a mutually "abusive" relationship that everyone seems to enjoy including the freeloading audience members. I'm sure as an audience member you would enjoy the freebies too, regardless whether the host paid for the products themselves or not. Please get real and get a life!! By the way, it's evident that you don't have more than half a brain.

I was at that show. And it wasn't about her giving anything away. It was what she said to her audience. I used to love Oprah, but the words that came out of her mouth that day was wrong and hurtful. You weren't there for the taping I was. Hopefully they'll post my blog I wrote, and you will read what really happened that day. And I am NOT GREEDY, I DIDN'T EXPECT ANYTHING, EXCEPT TO SEE HER THAT DAY. I sure didn't need to leave her show feeling the way I did, and see other people leave in tears!!!!!!

are you kidding me? i teach in a public school and have friends who send their kids to private school. should i accuse them of duping me? the whole point of working hard to get to a certain station in life is so that you can give your family the best.

would you send your kids to public school if you didn't have to? are you maybe mad b/c you can't? not to mention the security disruptive issues that might be a little less at a private school. no these are not regular people. if they were they wouldn't have an extremely successful talk show or a desk in the oval office of the white house, they'd be whining on some stupid blog instead of living their lives the way they choose b/c they can. regular people do regular things. extraordinary people make extraordinary things happen for themselves and others. one can only hope they are kind and humble.

i don't want a regular person in the white house. i want an extraordinary person in the white house, which we have. maybe you're just stinging from being duped for the past 8 years.
