My understanding is that Oprah is also a member of Trinity and a friend of Wright?
If so, why isn't she also in the headlights, along with Obama?
If so, why is she staying so quiet about this whole issue?
OR...
Did I misunderstand this about her?

Help, call Oprah. sm
There really is such a thing as a talking sphincter.

Oprah and Obama - sm
Just wondering how you feel about Oprah and her wild enthusiam and support for Obama. She confuses me. Sometimes I can watch her, sometimes I just cannot.

I used to have such respect for Oprah.

This is a debate not the Oprah program
let's not get our feelings hurt and ruin a good debate. No one is siding with sexual offenders, not in the least... :)

Oprah and Ellen, and Dr. Phil

are not in a position to force the rest of us to share our wealth, punish us if we do not, while keeping their wealth for themselves. Not a good comparison at all.

Oprah is on record saying that (even with her multi-millions) she does not just hand money to individuals who tell her they need it. Why should she think that would help someone who obviously failed to take care of their own money? They want money? They can go make it the hard way, as she has. (Then she supports Obama. Go figure!)

Obama is more like the minister who preaches fidelity, while having affairs with his parishioners. He's someone who says that to help public schools, all children should have to attend them (except his own.) Lectures on the evils of tobacco, raises taxes on it, while sneaking cigarettes. Gets his own sweet deal on a mortgage, supports the bailout of deadbeats, yet penalizes those who have been responsible with their money. Criticizes company executives for use of corporate jets, then flies on his own jet to Arizona just to sign a bill.

Get the picture? ''Do as I say, not as I do.''

Oprah on child molestation laws...sm

I found this article on Oprah's website and thought this excerpt was powerful on the anti-child abuse/molestation movement. The underlined areas are links, please help out with this as you can.

*This is a full circle moment for me. For me to have been raped at 9 years old � this is so big and so gratifying that I now get to put people behind bars who did to me what they've been doing to other children. This is it. And so I am going to spend my own resources, and I am going to work with law enforcement, and I'm going to change, with your help, the laws in this country state by state by state by state.

We are not going to be a country that talks the talk about how we care about children, and then we let these people back out on the street. It's Joseph Duncan all over again. We have got to let Shasta Groene and all the others be the last children. Let their lives not have been in vain. Let's stand up, and change the laws.

Take a look at these accused child molester profiles, and see if you can be the next person to put a fugitive behind bars.*

Oprah calls O "The One". The man is a politician,

I am very, very concerned too. Watch Oprah today?

Obama mainly voted for because ......

you're kidding about oprah and ellen, right?
You think Oprah and Ellen don't share their wealth? did you ever watch their shows and see how much they give to others? Do you have any idea how much they donate to various charities??

I bet no one is reporting the Oprah book clubs that gather
every week.

This is an attack against a Christian group, plain and simple. Once the Christians are sufficiently quieted, they will move on to the next group that threatens the reign of the government.

Should I report the Mormons down the street who gather every week?

Or what about the girl scout leader who has sleep overs all the time and meetings at her house once a week? And they sell cookies! That should definitely be considered a business!

Anyone trying to twist this around to building codes really needs to pull the wool off of their eyes. It's infringement on our rights, plain and simple.

Big brother is starting to look over EVERYONE'S shoulder. All of you who make excuses for it now, please remember this when they start infringing on your rights.

I wonder how long it will take before they stop letting returning soldiers gather together? Since they are also on the list of suspected domestic terrorists...

Oh and I remember how much the Jewish community down the street from where I grew up loved to get together on a weekly basis to socialize, eat, etc., wonder when they will be stopped?

I wonder how long it will take before we all have to sit at home with our thumbs up our butts before enough citizens get their heads out of the sand and tell government that enough is enough!

Oops! Jill Biden spilled the beans on Oprah...sm
today. Joe was offered either Secretary of State or VP by Obama, his choice. Everyone was shocked and laughing and she so, "well its true", and Joe said, it's OK, you're right it is true. I predict that skit will be portrayed on SNL this weekend.
