Oprah, Take Off Those Black-And-White Glasses

When are you going to get off this kick about Barack Obama being disrespected more than previous presidents just because he is a black man?

It’s getting embarrassing, Oprah.

You’re one of America’s great talents and greatest success stories.

You’re a self-made billionaire, an astute multimedia mogul, a beloved cultural icon.

You’re admired around the world for your generosity and good works. Your opinions and endorsements influence what millions of people read, how they think and who they vote for.

But after five years of President Obama’s reign, you apparently still haven’t learned a thing about presidential politics and race relations in this country.

You proved it again just last week in Britain when you were plugging that movie “The Butler.”

You were asked – for the umpteenth time – by the BBC whether you thought President Obama was being treated unfairly or criticized disproportionately by the media and others because he was black.

You said, “When the senator yelled out, ‘You’re a liar’ — remember that? Yeah, I think that there is a level of disrespect for the office that occurs, and that occurs in some cases and maybe even many cases because he’s African American.”

Seriously, Oprah.

While some may dislike him for his color, most Americans want a leader, and Obama isn't, most people want to have a job, own a home and hopefully one day retire and enjoy life. Obama isn't about the working class, he's about taking from the working class and giving to the non-working or illegal alien who hasn't contributed to our culture or systems. Obama's about destroying a way of life that was prevously very successful, Our country is more weaker today under his leadership then any other time in history.

Given enough time, her true "color" is coming out. Frankly, she simply isn't revelant except to insert her two-cent opinions into any topic which would give her press.

This president is disrespected more than previous presidents because he is an idiot, not because he is black. Get it straight Dophra.
