Answer 1

Good points - she is a hypocrite. I have never been a big fan of Oprah, and it's amazing to me that people still take her seriously. The woman is overpaid and very overrated!!

Plus, I doubt she rose to the level she's at by being honest and above board. I think she's as phony as they get. And because her talk show is mainstream media, she is basically instructed by the big shots on what to "sell" to the public.

Answer 2

For starters congress did not vote to invade Iraq, following 9-11 congress voted to give bush the authority to invade the country responsible to ensure quick action. He abuse this power to invade Iraq. Firstly the invasion or Iraq was due to weapons of mass destruction that were not found, this story quickly changed to an al Qaida-Iraq link, which finally settle into liberation of the Iraqi people. Great so now we have in ineffective Iraqi government overseeing a nation in the midst of a civil war, with our troops caught in the middle. This is not an idea situation. Secondly the economy is terrible. The Bottom fell out of t the housing market which caused all sorts of credit calls, so now you see a decrease in the stock market. Eventually you are going to start seeing an even greater increase in bankruptcies. The USA also currently has one of the highest unemployment rates in over 50 years, which if the stock market suffers anymore will increase. The USA has a literacy level less than every other industrialized nation, bragging about the fine job the school systems are doing at this point is a little premature as they are still pumping out illiterate kids. These are not wild Internet theories, this is the reality and if you still think the state of the USA is top notch you should really re-evaluate your standards and expectations. You asked what has he done wrong? His blatent lack of accountability to the poeple is offensive enough. This is without going into the variable trusth extensions, climate of secrecy, or abhorant foriegn policy that almost resarted the cold war, his inability or unwillingness to actually pursure those resonsible for 9/11.......

Answer 3

Come on man, be a little fair. To my knowledge, no one within government claims they knew Bush's pitch that Iraq had WMDs was false. Also, no one within government was claiming that Iran wasn't pursuing nukes until the report came out this year with the highly confident belief that the program was suspended. It's hard to make decisions on the spot, it's even harder when you lack information. Sure you can look back at what is the case vs. what was thought to be the case, but to measure the error and declare the people that made those errors as liars, incompetent or just plain bad decision makers is somewhat unfair.

Answer 4

It is a case of wide spread panic on your part, The Clintonistas are taking on water after a great broadside from the Obama Camp. Why Bill was against the war when he supported it. The only Democrat with Gravitas is UFO Man.

Answer 5

She's A Ruling elite Puppet. She Just Does What's She's Told To Do And Say On TV. And Gets Paid Well For It.

That's Why She's Harpoon Windbag.

Answer 6

We already know that Oprah has made a multimillion dollar business selling sympathy. I guess she thinks it will also sell Obama too.
I'm just wondering when she is going to play the race card to pander to the masses of political correctness sympathizers.

Answer 7

No I don't. Strange when Clinton does it, it's OK, but when Bush does it, all of a sudden it is an "outrageous conspiracy theory". Must be Bush Derangement Syndrome (BDS)

Answer 8

Well, is either him or someone who actually voted for the war or for the ones who can't wait to start another war. Or Ron Paul but full blown democrats won't go for Ron.

Answer 9

Yes.
An Bill Clinton was screaming about Saddam's WMDs from 1998 to 2004.

CHECK IT OUT.

Answer 10

Not gonna disagree with ya(not to much anyway), but I really don't Obama was privy to the NIE report since it was released last week, 3 years after he was quoted.
