Dear Ms Winfrey,

Considering that you say “I believe that one of life’s greatest risks is never daring to take risk.” I think you should not only “take the risk” of having Gov. Sarah Palin on your show; you should have Senators Obama, Biden and McCain on, too. Not only would it be great television, with your fair and gracious interview style, it would be a tremendous opportunity for America to see and learn about candidates for the highest of elective offices in the country. It would help us become better-informed when it comes time to cast our votes in November.

To comment #169, I very much disagree with the sentiments expressed within. I watched when she had Bill O’Reilly on a few years back. Considering the scorn he often gets from those who disagree with him, Oprah was quite gracious and fair with him during the whole show. He, in turn, was very complimentary of his treatment by her and her staff.

I suspect that the issue in play here is that she has gone out on a limb for Obama and suffered a backlash. She sees herself between rock and a hard place because of that. She needs to decide whether it is more important to support Obama or that she help the voters in this country by providing the opportunity to get to know the candidates better and because of that greater knowledge make a better and more informed decision come November.

Finally, Oprah cares a lot more about being Black than being a woman because she scorned Hillary while pushing Obama. Oprah needs to spend some of her windfall billion dollar wealth to help the poor in her own community rather than blaming Republicans.

Oprah, was among the many voices who called for Imus to be fired for a satirical sound byte, that has been used since by people like Chris Rock. Oprah Fair minded hardly. I am not suprized she is at the eye of another double standard, it is how she operates.

Oprah built a girl’s school in South Africa, spent millions of dollars to put her name on a building “Vanity” now people from Zimbabwea are pouring into South Africa because of the collapse of their Govt., brought on by Robert Mugabe people in need in Zimbabwe, I have not heard Oprah speak about them. Children in Monrovia, Liberia, go to school in a burned out church. Monrovia,Liberia, the descendants of American Slaves,who share more of connection to Oprah then people in South Africa. No help for Liberians? Not from Oprah or the folks at United Trinity (African centered church) Why not are they not just as deserving? I think it is because Liberia is pro American, and there is no publicity in helping them. When you take a close look at Oprah, she doesn’t go as deep as she postures. It is all about Oprah.

Imagine the headline: “PALIN TURNS DOWN INVITATION FROM OPRAH WINFREY” Oprah can’t ri$k that happening and if I was Sarah it is exactly what I’d do given the chance – snub a major BHO supporter.
