What Is Your Opinion About Oprah Winfrey?

I have an idea of what most will say, but I'd like to know if anyone agrees with how I feel.

Please briefly explain why you have such feelings toward her.

    She probably is a very good actor. From things she said she doesn't seem to like white people. So she has tricked her audience into believing she really likes them or cares about them. So that would make her a good actor.

    I think she is a good woman. famous people can make a difference in the world, because they have money, but most choose not to anyways. Oprah, does make a lot of differences in the world. for example the book club she is doing, it probably had people look twice at the world and see it differently.

    I guess you could say that she is my hero, to me.

    Have you ever seen one of her movies? A long time ago she was in a movie (like when she was a young adult) and I thought Oprah was good in it.

    Don't know really what else to say about her, but otherwise, I just really like her..u?

    There is good and bad in Oprah. I love the way she is down to earth with everyone. I have been to her home town in Kosciusko, Mississippi many times. My daughter lives in that area and we went to see where she lived. She was dirt poor, abused, and molested.

    I think that at the beginning of her career, she gave so much of her success to the glory of God. But, as she got bigger in TV stardom and richer and richer, it seems she talks about God, but doesn't accept Jesus as the Messiah. I hope I am wrong about this, but I believe that is what I read.

    All in all, she has done lots for people with her millions. She was one of the first, if not THE first millionaire celebrity to come to NOLA after Katrina and pour lots of money in recovery. She still does. I have serious mixed feelings about her. She is doing a lot for young girls and women in Africa, but I don't know if she does that for other third world countries. She is a philanthropist for sure. And I know she can't give to everyone. But, if she wants to give me a new car, YEAH, I'll take it.

    I use to love her more when I was younger.

    But now I think she is kind of over rated.

    I know she could do much more [even though she has done a lot like the school in Africa]

    Oprah once was a poor girl and the American people embraced her and now she is a rich opinionated person who likes to make fools of whoever for ratings..She needs to stop counting her money and marry what was his name?

    I can't stand her. I am from Baltimore and I didn't like her when she had a local talk show with Richard Sher. The few times I have seen her she seems too narcissistic. She seems more interested in her responses than in the people she is interviewing.

    i think of she might go with to take the credit for influencing particularly some people to vote for Obama, yet frankly i think of it replaced into McCain's snub on Letterman that did the trick for the Prez...
