IMO, Oprah’s fame was because she related to All Americans(mostly women of course) and she seemed to be an honest person. When her shows aired, it was Not because of the topics, but it was rather because of Her. There was a point when she “went Hollywood, and stated catering to those who knew they could further their careers, by appearing on her show”…..she bought into it, hook, line and sinker”. She never realized that they were using her, and pushed themselves-she thought they liked Her as a person-perhaps, but Holly-woodheads ONLY care about their next project. Oprah started to believe ‘her own publicity and her importance, that seemed to go to her head”. When she Really shot herself in the foot, was when she lied to her audiences by telling them ‘I will Not support Any political figures on my show”. Of Course, this was a lie, as she HAD introduced and gave a format to Barack Obama and his wife Michelle. She gushed all over him, and touted her support-This, was not what she said, and later she arrogantly said publically that she DID support Obama. When asked why she would Not do so with other candidates(since she plunged into the poltiical arena) she stated that she said she would NOT have any politicos on—–SHE ALREADY HAD THE OBAMAS ON, AND IT WAS OBVIOUS SHE WOULD NOT DO SO TO OTHERS. SHE APPEARED TO LIE TO HER AUDIENCES BY BEING NOT OBLIGING OTHERS, AND I FOR ONE, WAS TURNED OFF OPRAH FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE I STARTED WATCHING HER FIRST SHOWS. MANY FELT BETRAYED BY HER LYING, AND SHOWING “HER SCHOOLGIRL CRUSH, WHILE GUSHING ALL OVER ABOUT OBAMA….ESPECIALLY AT HIS PARTY WHEN SHE “CRIED OFF HER EYELASHES(her words) It was obvious that a majority of her audience was middle classed caucasion women that made her the success she became by their continued allegience, but when She showed her own support because Obama was “the first black presidential candidate it appeared that her Race was involved, as most of the 97% blacks who voted
by Their skin color also”. It would have possibly been better had she “stayed off the political scene,
and did what she did best- her show – and keep her political gushing private”. The audiences Now, have spoken, and she can see the their feelings of her betrayal, as she lied to them, so her network tanks as she lost her honesty she once had with them.

BTW: It would appear that not only did Obama CON the Holly-woodheads and most Americans that voted him into office, but Oprah conned them by being complicit in “foisting him onto America through her popularity, as she also personally campaigned for him around the country”. People may hold her responsible for helping him to become POTUS, and the lies that he spewed when campaigning. They may resent that Oprah pushed for Obama, when now, America is in decline by his Socialist agenda and the way he has divided the nation, pitting American against American. He has done these things deliberately, as he contends that “America is an arrogant nation”, among other desparaging remarks he has made worldwide. Thus, Oprah sees HER integrity in question and the
popularity she once had, waning for sure.

By the way, it’s “LMAO”, not “IMAO”…

(Just a friendly ‘poke’ at the (In My Opinion, as opposed to the “Laughing….”)

Mike: IMO- “in my opinion” LOL-’laughing on line” and yes, I AM laughing my ass off at the things that have occurred in this corrupt Obama regime. Thanks for your post, but my post IS MY OPINION!
What’s yours’?

I USED to sort of like Oprah, B O. (Before Obama) Once she began her gushing and mouthings about him I lost all respect for her. I mean, he IS a married man, afterall, and to carry on like that in public is, to me, disgusting. I know, in the begining, seemingly, everyone was doing it. Everyone, that is, except for the conservatives and others who had serious reservations about our soon-to-be potus. In fact, as of today, we have even MORE reservations than we had in the beginning. So, to us, all Oprah has done is place her self squarely in the Kool-Aide drinkers corner. I never watch that channel.
