Oh, sorry. Was that disrespectful what I just typed?<\/p>\n

Oprah called on President Obama’s critics on Friday to \u201cshow some level of respect<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

“I feel that everybody has a learning curve, and I feel that the reason why I was willing to step out for him was because I believed in his integrity and I believed in his heart,” the influential TV host said on MSNBC\u2019s \u201cMorning Joe\u201d in Chicago.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

First of all Oprah honey, you’re a daytime talk show host<\/em>. The fact that millions of women follow your advice on anything beyond that is beyond me.<\/p>\n

And duh, of course there’s a learning curve…a huge<\/em> learning curve for someone not yet remotely qualified to lead this country or any other entity.<\/p>\n

What would you say to the President’s own staff<\/em> who have reportedly been leaking their<\/em> disdain for his lack of competency or comprehension of issues abroad and domestic?<\/p>\n

Of the negative mood of the country, Oprah added, \u201cI think everybody complaining ought to try it for once.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Try what? The tapioca pudding?<\/p>\n

If your boy doesn’t want the job no more, I’m sure we can find someone who does.<\/p>\n

She said the presidency is a position that \u201cholds a sense of authority and governance over us all,\u201d and that \u201ceven if you\u2019re not in support of his policies,\u00a0there needs to be a certain level of respect.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You mean like the level of deference and respect you and your ilk extended to President Bush?<\/p>\n

That’s what I thought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
