Only thing I know is, Oprah and all the other rich fat cats better get ready to finally start paying their fair share of taxes, so that people like me can afford to eat for a change. No more tax breaks for the filthy rich...they will have to pay their fair share like the rest of us, because these over-priviliged gluttons and pigs have been draining us working/middle class dry. Taking food out of our mouths, killing us with the high taxes so that they can live so shamelessly rich. No more! I work two jobs, every day, no days off except a rare one once in a while, no time to spend with my family, and I'm still not making enough to live on because the government takes about HALF of my paycheck the more I work to try to maybe be okay??? While the filthy rich have all they have and get to keep MORE of it??? No f**kin' way! Not anymore. Let them pay their fair share and stop bleeding us working people dry to support their excessive lifestyles. I'm tired of working 16 hours a day non-stop and STILL having to choose between paying rent or buying food before the end of the month. We also need to raise the minimum wage, but that's the next order of business, after we end the tax breaks for the filthy rich.

Years ago when I had the barber shop, there were no television people like Oprah who tried to tell every body what to do. We had Jack Parr and Mike Douglas, but they were just for entertainment. Oprah is just a woman who is too independent and has a big mouth, a woman who is not in her place. In my day, the women cleaned the house and made the baked ziti and kept quiet most of the time.

Why would anybody want to do that? Twitter and all that kind of nonsense is just for all the stupid kids running around today. I am an adult, and I don't do the Twitter, or text, or even use a cell phone (I only carry one for emergencies). Being on the computer is as modern as I need to get, thank you. And as for Oprah, I think she's just silly, too. I don't watch her, but I've seen her, and she doesn't know what she's talking about half the time. Then when she makes a mistake, she devotes a whole show and two months of public relations trying to make out that it wasn't her fault for making the error. She's like the Pied Piper for a bunch of weak minded rats (people). I don't watch any of the talk shows or the soap operas. By the time I do my housework, the laundry, iron my husband's work shirts, go shopping, etc., I don't have time to watch television, because I have a real life. Oprah is only for silly, unreal people.

Folks - Oprah is not GOD! Oprah is NOT a psychiatrist, psychologist, medical doctor, teacher, minister .... NONE OF THE ABOVE! She's just a woman with a big mouth and a bigger ego who likes to talk, even when YOU are speaking, I might add! All you are doing by feeding her attention, is buying her another mansion. For God sake - wake up and starting living your own life instead of idolizing a mere mortal!

In dealing with the public in my job, I have noticed the difference between the ghetto and the suburbs. In the ghetto, women struggle with day-to-day decisions regarding life and the human condition, while in the suburbs, the struggle of women centers mostly around lipsticks, creams, and cosmetics. The correlation between the two environments is, of course, that whether from the ghetto or the suburbs, a woman should always strive to look her best.

First of all i would like to say that i LOVE OPRAH! She is a inspiration to me in everthing that i do. Years ago i was seeing this guy, and i knew he was married but i saw him anyway. He maked to me pregnant when i was only 20 years old.
He tole me he was leavin his wife and he wanted to be with me. To make a long story short he never did and after another 6 months he left for good. During this time i found the oprah show and it helped me a lot throw those times. It gave me the corege to live my life and be happy. I have since had 4 more babes with the same man becase i respect myself. He tole me he will marry me soon.

Dear Oprah,

It would also be wonderful when you do the book review if you could pick KEPT DOWN FROM RISING UP by LaKweesha McNabb. It is a inspirational story of this fat sista in *da Burgh* here who sat down to pee and got her fat ass stuck in the toilet seat. She could not get up and was stuck there for 3 days. The inspiration of the book is this: How her family and friends from all parts of the ghetto came together to help her, reading her the Lotto numbers and feeding her Mallomars until the 3rd day when somebody with a working cell phone called 911 and police and fire people was able to finally free her from the toilet seat, just in time to cash her welfare check. If you don't know about her book, maybe you saw the story on the news when it happened last year. They had LaKweesha, her 6 kids, and her 5 babbydaddys all on the news telling the story, and showed the broken toilet seat where the fire people had cut it to free her. I thought the news story was sad, but the tears were in my eyes as I was reading her book. If you can't find a copy of the book, I'll let you borrow mines, because you must read this! And it would be so wonderful if you could do the review of this book on your show with LaKweesha. God bless you Oprah Winfrey for all that you do, and please pick this book to review.

iT WOULD BE WONDERFUL WHEN YOU DO A BOOK REVIEW THAT YOU READ "CAPTIVE" by JERE VAN DYK, a riviting account about his 45 day captivity with the Taliban.

Millions of people watch your show and I think ths gentlman should tell his story to the world

I will miss your show when it goes off the air and, i'm sure you are fully booked with guests but, I just thought I'd try.

Other peoples money shouldn't be the concern to other people and they should "mind" their OWN business. That's correct, people should mind their biz-niz (OWN)- and how rude of the public to talk or even think of using Oprah's financial situation against her or as a public topic. Just because Oprah likes to use other people as an example on television as a sort of moral import and Pius ruler, and uses their "business" be it personal, or financial as an example or topic on television, does not mean "you" or any person can or should do it to her. She's an "angel", whats wrong with you people?
Anyway, some terrible terrible group of people in Texas are planning to "re:write" history, while altering history books taught to school children. And "they" are planning to remove civil rights details from its history text in schools in Texas. That is so unlawful, intentional, and spiteful, rude.
After going to Oprah's website and realizing I had been duped or "ripped off" (in layman's terms) by sending submissions to her/that television programming, which Oprah's lawyers placed a disclaimer under that show's website/submit form, stating Oprah and her illustrious staff can alter any submission, change the dates, times or words of any submitted, story, plan, idea and they do not have to pay.... I thought to myself- is Oprah rewriting history or "changing the story around" as well in Illinois like they do in Texas? Of course not she and they are just being nice.
