Gee sounds like Oprah's friend, the President. It's called the Peter Principle.

I really think she is losing it. She made a big deal with that school in Africa only for girls and there have been rapes and big problems. I say spend the money on the young men and women of the USA.

What Oprah hasn't figured out yet is that people are so over her!!

Oprah is a self-serving, ego-manic..she stands up that and brags and boasts.. she put this stupid choice for a President in the White House. She needs to go away and take Obama with her.

You mean Oprah didn't work for what she has in life? all she had to do was show up and be black? I guess all the other talk show hosts who fell by the wayside were the wrong color. I never realized that affirmative action was guaranteed success, that people would automatically like you, support you, that it could grow whatever you do into a billion dollar business with no effort, smarts, savvy, or hard work.

Oh, don't hate Appreciate, you sound like a bigot!

I think it’s a great speech. There are still those people who want to make millions, or billions, and look at college graduation as the first step towards that long goal. There is nothing tacky about wanting to be rich and successful. I think the underlying problem is that the current president has declared war on capitalism and successful people. I think he, along with many others, don’t think rich people deserve the money they have. How sad. When did it become acceptable to try to use the government to take from one and give to others? How is that American? From what I know about Oprah, I am not a fan and actually really dislike her because of her political views, she worked very hard and started out with practically nothing and built an empire. That’s the American dream. And she was there to tell those kids that it still exists, even if BO is waging an all out war on it and will make it harder for others to achieve.

Hey, if working for other people makes you happy, that’s fine. It may fulfill your life. Persoanlly, I don’t see why you can’t do both. If individuals start looking out for themselves and strive to make themselves better so that they can achieve more wealth, then all of society is the better for it. If the government holds these people down because “they” have determined that you can’t make that much money or shouldn’t make that much money, then these people will go elsewhere. I know I will. I worked hard to go to college and law school, and now that I am finished, I want to make tons of money. I sacrificed over ten years of my life and lots of money to finance my goals. I want to reap the benefits now and I don’t want BO telling me I should be watching out for others. They weren’t the ones sacrificing, I was. I put the 12-14 hour days in and if I want to be generous, that’s my decision to make, not the governments.

So rock on Oprah. Hopefully I’ll see you riding next to me in my private jet up in the Gulf Stream.

And to all you jealous people…life is short, work hard and you will be rewarded. Stop looking at the next door neighbors yard.

I guess this means you are a supporter of black colleges, magazines, etc..That way now more crying about affirmative action because everyone is black.

Racism can never be covered up, no matter what you do.

Are you kidding me? White women guilt? You think white women watch Oprah because they're guilty? You know what? You're a moron.

. . . and what about President Obama . . .?

No, Oprah used to add something. She has something and she made people feel at ease. She wasn't afraid to be herself, to show her flaws, and people related and reacted to it. But fame and fortune got to her head. This isn't a race issue. Its a celeb issue.

Sheeeesh is right. Let's pray the economy gets better so that her words don't sound as bad.

I am very pleased with the thought and don’t feel like adding anything in it. It’s a perfect answer.

I agree!!!

So you no longer like Oprah because campaigned and voted for Obama? Before that, you were a fan? Imagine that. Well, she has a right to endorse and vote for whomever she pleases. Last I remember, this is the United States of America and we are lucky enough to be able to vote for whichever candidate we want to, and that includes Oprah Winfrey.
