I think she is fabulous. I am impressed by her humanitarian work and the fact that her show is not trashy. I don't watch her show very often, becuase I don't watch tv, but I think she has a tremendous positive influence on America. You go Girl!

Hi,\n Don't forget Oprah Winfrey, she also started out as a poor girl when she was younger.\n Now Oprah has her own talk show and even has own Magazine sold on store shelves everywhere.\n I think Oprah has been an inspiration to a lot of people out there and I hope that she is an inspiration to you too!\n Good luck to you!

As my "spiritual leader?"  Of course NOT.\n\nOn the other hand, I have a lot of respect for Oprah.  She's come a long ways and has a good head on her shoulders.

I think each person who has given Oprah "thumbs down" for her question has a different reason.  I have personally never understood why thumbs up or down was ever even an option for questions asked.  Everyone is entitled to be inquisitive - that's how people learn and evolve.  I used to work at a childcare center and I was asked some pretty wild questions from many different children.  I always did my best to answer and never discouraged them from continuing to ask.   How can a child (or adult for that matter) ever grow and achieve... if questions are never asked?   Anyway, whether or not Oprah's intentions are self-riteous or legitimately done for the goodness of others isn't for me to determine, having never met the lady.  What I do know is she has built her own empire and is more or less a self-made billionaire - I don't think it came easy to her.  The fact that she would even consider giving away gifts or money to anybody says something.  She doesn't have to.  Nowhere is it written that Oprah needs to share her wealth with any other person.  So she asks 'how you would use $1000 to help another' and people immediately get on their "bash Oprah soap box" and spread negativity when, in fact, the gesture she's suggesting is actually a positive one.  *shrugs*  I'm not one to judge her or anybody else.  Any question asked (in my opinion) is worthy of an answer.   And if somebody doesn't like the question... instead of acting out of spite and giving it a thumbs down... should just not answer it and move on.  Life is too short to finger point and whine.  Perhaps we should all be reminded "'tis the season to be jolly".

Oprah. She's worth an "estimated" 1.5 BILLLION.

I don't hate her, I think she's wicked! I completley support her, I loved the simple life. She isn't afraid of doing things that being as rich as she is she doesn't have to. She's great for charities, especially animal rights. And who cares if she has a sex tape - nearly every celebrity does now. If ppl dislike her so much why are they so obssessed with her. As ppl say "You know you're great, when ppl hate you for no reason". Go on Paris, you rock!

I like her and her show. I think she deserves admiration to high level, because of her achievments and her generousity.\nHer style, as well, reflects her personality.\nShe has made the world cry and laught with her, she has made them more aware and helpful, her show themes are extremly powerful as well as popular.\n\nShe is great!

I find her very annoying.  First there is the whole scandal she was involved in where all she had to do was tell the truth and would not have faced jail time and then there is her temper off camera, sometimes her behavior can be worse than a neanderthal.  But this is coming from stories I have read and seen on the news so I don't know how much weight can be put into it.  All I know is that I don't like her (or Kmart, all the Kmarts where I live went out of business when Target moved in).

3crosses, I COMPLETELY agree with you on the Oprah thing.  I can't stand that woman.  If she and all these other spoiled celebrities would give up all their money down to what most people can live relatively comfortably with, we would probably be able to feed all the starving people in the world and make sure everyone in our own country would be taken care of.  Watching the Fabulous Life Of... on VH1 is enough to make a person physically ill.

I'm a fan.  What I like the best about her is that she helps SO many people.  It's true that she has such an obscene amount of money that it's easy for her to throw money around but she doesn't have to.  People like Oprah and Bill Gates should really be admired and respected for how much they give back to humanity, like them or not.\n     I can't pick a favorite episode but I like pretty much all of them that involve Nate.

Oh I totally can not stand oprah She sooooo full of herself I mean who the hell puts themselves on every single cover of ther own magazine.\nI can not stand her annoying shrieking and yelling when celebrities are on her show (watch it youll know what I am talking about, but then that would require you to watch the show)\n\nAlso did you see when she went to visit the victims of hurricane Katrina at an arena Seriously how far back from them did she need to be she was standing all the waY up in the nose bleed seats while these people watched from way below\nIf your gonna do something meaningful make sure you mean it\nSeriously oprah is so annoying maybe thats why her stedman wont marry her

I agree just because Oprah is famous that dose not mean she is above the rules.

Oprah says she's considered it but she isn't the "motherly type." Further, since there are millions of African orphans, which ones should she take home. Even with her money, she couldn't take them all! They need more than just money! And why is this question limited to rich Blacks? Rich Whites shouldn't give a damn because these kids are Africans?!

He teaches us well!  i follow his advice to the letter - I have changed my diet and eating habits from the Oprah episodes alone - to say nothing about his books!\n\nhe is down to earth...nuts and bolts - ...LOL and he keeps his "raw nuts" in the fridge! ...just an aside from an Oprah show that got a laugh from the audience
