My favorite one is Oprah telling us that she hasn't pumped her own gas in over 20 years, and doesn't even know how to do it anymore. She was one of us, now she's one of them...out of touch with reality.

Oprah's losing her sparkle. I think she's just getting menopausal---crabby and annoyed. (I'm 56 and can relate!) She isn't as careful with her guests or as considerate of her audience. Put those things together with the fact that she's filthy rich while a lot of her audience is struggling.

Oprah is a hypocrite. She wants to help the less fortunate, but then does shows like "her favorite things" and tells viewers she has an $800 shirt in 23 colors. Think of what could be done with that money!She's ridiculous!!

Oprah has the right as an American to endorse whomever she wants. Should it matter that Obama is black? No it shouldn't! Besides white women, are not the only women in world. There are other women of other color which have impecable character whom are non-white.

I think it is a sad state of affairs when a TV personality (Oprah) can endorse a candidate who is behind in the polls, and donate money, and from that point on that candidate takes off. How shallow is our country! I'm done watching her.

Judy, Ponte Vedra Beach, USA

I am a middle age white woman who is voting for Obama. I don't care who she endorses. I seldom watch her show because I don't care about a lot of her topics.

Louise, Grass Valley, USA

I think it was unfair to Hillary Clinton for Oprah to endorse Obama, even though O is entitled to her opinion. She knows she has a major influence on her viewers, mainly women. But she has every right to do so, but there is a consequence to every action.

Oprah has stepped on too toes and forgotten what it was like 25 yrs ago. Women loved her then because she was humble and real, now she'd walk over you to get to someone that can get her ratings or help her causes. Wake up before you are ALL alone..It's closer than you think. Can she live with no $$?

Lori, Pineknot, McCreary

I feel that many saw Oprah's endorsement of Obama as smacking of racism. If Obama had any credentials, or experience that would be one thing, but to endorse someone with only three years in the Senate - and who has skipped voting over 30% of the time - well it's a bit strange.

Cynthia, Wilton, CT, USA

No matter how popular a show, it finally becomes stale and routine and goes into decline (except for Carson). As a committed capitalist, I applaud her success.

But, people who depend on Opra to find out how to live their lives, what to read and gorge themselves on her revelations are pathetic.

Terry L. Walker, Ladson, SC / USE

like all shows, Oprah's will have its bad times like low ratings etc. i think Oprah should endorse whoever she pleases.

She is boring.

Kara Swart, London, UK

I must say that I was never a fan of Oprah. I didn't dislike her really, I just did not care for her. Well, then came her new age religious movement. She has flipped her lid. Becoming a self-proclaimed high priestess of a brainwashing scheme. Sad... she needs to be prayed for... we all do.

Nekki, Atlanta, USA

Oprah...lost her audience when she endorsed Obama. Check the rationg against her endorsement say a week to two weeks afer.

She also, has become too much of a good thing which folks get tired of. You can only give away so many cars and support authors who lie.

She doesn't seem genuine anymore

Gary Holbrook, Golden, Colorado, USA

I occasionally watched her shows. I never could quite make up my mind about her even used to defend her for trying to do something usefull when others would voice criticism.For me, I guess the last straw was the new age movement she has became actively involved in. A pity, just another lost soul.

mel, Gauteng, South Africa

I watch her shows now & then but have come to loose respect for her because it comes across as though you are not allowed to disagree with her. I am opionated so i cant agree with evrything she says. Am a black african lady who will speak her mind anyday, anytime.

She is stupid and she needs to go. What a phony! Only in America where mediocrity is valued can Oprah be successful and Bush be president.

Shabana, CA, USA

Oprah looks bored rigid on her show. She reads a lot of it very quickly from an autocue and no longer always knows her brief immaculately. I get the impression her show is just bread and butter to her now and her mind and efforts are elsewhere. She should take a break and try a reformat. I like her!

Tom Moncrieff, London, England

People who have unfettered access to national media should not be allowed to give political endorsements.

Shane, Guildford, England

Wow what an inspiration! To go through what she experienced at a young age & achieve what she has is incredible. With regard to her falling ratings, that's show business I'm afraid, she works in a fickle industry. Still, she has more fame & money than anyone could ask for. I doubt she's complaining.

Jackie, London, England

I think Oprah has the right to support whom she pleases, same as anybody else. I think any person who receives the endorsement of one so accomplished as she is truly blessed. If I would someday be such a person in my endeavors as an author, I would surely consider myself blessed.
