She has a bash for Obama; charges everyone from $1500-$3000; wouldn't let them in her house; and made them go to the bathroom in a Johnny-on-the-spot. She could have just donated a small portion of her billions; Why was anyone STUPID ENOUGH To ATTEND! TALK ABOUT CHEAP...CHEAP...CHEAP....

She has her moments of validity. But shes getting pretty full of herself lately, and to me, it's just her ego thing.

Because the laws regarding campaign funding are so roundabout, she can't just donate a million dollars to Obama's campaign. Instead, with the bash, each person who attends is donating the money. The individual limits for campaign contributions are in the low thousands. Doing the gala cheaply means that most of the money can go to his campaign (Oprah couldn't pay for that herself either, it had to be from ticket sales).

Well shes become a spoild brat from all the moneys shes macking. I mean can you blame her? If you had billions you'd maybe even be worse. Everyone says ya well why do women get abortions it's so dumb, but they've never even been raped or in a abusive situation. Do you get my point? People say she's dumb about it, but they'd probably do the same in that situation. I mean who wants crabs, who knows who all those people are really carrying.. look at paris hilton. Hopfully she didn't go, i wouldn't let that thing even step in my house. So dirty..

I'm a fan of Oprahs and respect what she does, but am confused that she isn't trying to get a woman to be voted for president. I thought she was all about empowering women, not about who the next president is gonna be.

it would have been nice had she actually rented a hall, no doubt. but cheap will not stick long with a woman who has given away cars on her show to the guests in the audience.

why do you care? people spend their money. its not your money their spending. it their own. also she's not cheap she does a lot of things for people. Angel foundation, the school in south Africa given cars to her audience. Oprahs favorite things. If you don't want to attend thats your choice but obviously this people had enough money to spend what they spent to attend a dinner.

If you think it's cheap, then maybe you could donate more... instead of sitting here complaining about irrelevant issues.

I believe that she's richer than god, so she was probably afraid of folks stealing her solid gold bathroom fixtures. I stopped watching her long ago; TV icons do nothing for me.

One rule of any type of production is to NEVER SPEND YOUR OWN MONEY!! That is what famous movie directors say.
