Sanders · Diamond

If Hillary does a major interview with Oprah during May sweeps, that will be a sign that this is for real.

Perhaps Oprah would like to get her audience back, and she's going to try listening to them now. evileye

I think this may be closer to the mark. Her ratings, and frankly, her personal appeal as a supporter of women, took a major hit in 2008 when she backed Barack. She showed where her priorities were. Nothing wrong with that but she built her wealth on the backs of all women and basically let them down when we had our most opportune moment.

I don't really get involved with much of the tabloid stuff.

I think that Oprah is reaching out to Hillary because she lost a lot of money and power by backing O during the Primaries.

If this is true about MO then she better be prepared to get her azz beat. Hillary and Oprah will destroy her.

I DO NOT TRUST A WORD OKRA SAYS ANYMORE.

remeber okra's jim frey endorsement, well, with the Marxist, its Jim frey part 2

I hope okra loses lots of money as she retires her show, she is the main reason that america-loathing moron is inflicting all the damage on America

I don't watch okra.... she made her billions off women, and then when the first qualified woman, hillary comes along, she backstabs her, and then when another woman comes along, sarah, she doesn't even do the very least to defend sarah or hillary against sexism bashing.

I really don't give a $hit what okra thinks.

I'm pretty much with you, Ssmith. I recall the mocking, insulting remarks Oprah made at her Obamathon mega fundraiser when asked how she thought her women viewers would feel about her backing a man over a woman. Pastor Manning posted the vid during 2008 primary. It was clear she didn't care what the women thought, and her mocking tone, using some kind of Valley Girl accent, as she basically dismissed her female followers as irrelevant, really pissed me off.

Oprah has convinced herself that she is the supreme authority on all things. She dispenses medical, spiritual, relationship (and on and on) advice to the masses. Yet, she badly misjudged Obama's readiness/ability to be president. Of course, she was not all that interested in his competence - only in his race and his star power.

And, then there's MO - what an insecure, angry woman. Knowing the excellent job HIllary is doing as SOS, MO's push to have her fired - if indeed it's true - is proof that she could not care less about the well-being of this country.

Not to mention she doesn't care about her own husband's preciouse career. He would be dead in the water without Hillary and he knows it

ssmith · Platinum

freespirit,

the think that surprised me the most is how stunned OKRA seemed to be when all her viewers left her.

She pissed off Hillary voters, and then she pissed of Sarah voters... and that's pretty much most women.

and then Okra acts like stunned that she lost all these viewers who had been wathcing her show and buying her $hit for years.

This is why she cancelled her show, no one buys the crap she sells. Okra for women?? yea right!
Okra is for Okra... just like the Marxist is for the Marxist

who the hell believes Okra anymore??!?!

Good Lord! The ideal that it is time to pit women against women, and I mean powerful
women, at this time just drives me ten times crazy. What are they thinking that women
in politics, and the current issues are in shortage, so let's play women against women.

The woman who gets it, is the woman who is the defender and fighter of democracy, and
that is Hillary. She knows how the media creates more hostility against women, and she
isn't about to faint over this now.

I'm not going to play catch on this game, my hero is Hillary, she is more capable than the
other two. Oprah and Michelle appear to be cooking something, and I don't think they
know what's cooking. Just look at Michelle garden, just look at Oprah's chef........

Ready, set, let's go Hillary.

I wonder what is really behind MO's angerat Hillary. I think she thinks Oprah wants her man but why the anger at Hillary?

maybe the anger stems from the muzzle Barack has put on Michelle. I think she thought she would actually have something to do besides hosting parties.

So does anyone really think this is true?

VotedHillary · Platinum

I take stuff like this with a grain of salt. Oprah may want to repair her image with women by backing Hillary, but it would be a waste of money frankly.

I really don't think she can undo the damage. As I said before, it is her right as an American to back who she wants, but by the same token, as one who made a career out of espousing the empowerment of women and then did her best to dis-empower our first viable, reliable and worthy candidate to be POTUS, she has to live with the fallout.

This is not pitting women against women. I think we are at a point where we as women want to be represented by our best....not support a woman simply because she is a woman. We women had our BEST run in 2008. Oprah made her CHOICE not to support her. All choices in life have consequences.

She was going to have a backlash no matter which candidate she backed in the primary of 2008. Her real mistake was not doing what she has always done before and that was to stay neutral. I think this more than anything is why she has suffered the loss of viewership.

Funny thing is Maya Angleou supported Hillary despite the fact that her audience is primarially African Americans yet she was able to make her choice and not lose her key audience she did so by supporting Hillary and not attacking Obama. She not only kept her core audience but gained a whole new audience. Oprah should have either backed Obama yet had everyone on her show and been fair. I think that would have been better for her but she did what she did and now she regreats it.

freespirit · Moderator

I agree, Hmg. Oprah could have backed Obama without being so damn obnoxious. She could have been more respectful of the women who have supported her all these years..
She didn't have to have a giant fundraiser extravaganza Obamaloopa blow out. She showed poor judgment and even worse taste.

And that is why she maintained her audience. Oprah took her own sense of self-importance too far and it rubbed many the wrong way. Oprah has not the level of graciousness that Ms. Angelou has.
