The O effect …


We may only have until 2011, but i feel something new, something different coming from Ms O after her show goes off the air waves.  In the weeks to come we will hear, like Ms O. stated a lot of  conjecture about why she decided to discontinue the Oprah Show.

I for one have watched her show religiously, found myself cracking up, felt sadness at the plight of children,women,men and families featured on the show, anxious when the topic was not quite PC and have been less than happy to hear the criticism that she feels she is god, preaches too much … so on and so forth.  I can’t say that i took any of the info and ran with it, it was good info and took what i thought might help me, never for one moment thought she was a god or goddess. she, is a person who has lived life, started out young knowing exactly what she wanted and did it… simple as that. She has worked, honed and crafted the gift of gab, she is a great interviewer, has a great staff; people feel comfortable around her, she is a well spoken orator most people truly are envious of. I am among those that got fired up when she helped so many accomplish their dreams of starting their own business, won’t forget the day she gave all those cars away or the trip she and gayle took…too funny

Ms O has exposed the viewer to things, issues, topics and people who quite possibly would have been left out of our lives and because of Ms O and her staff, a lot of us feel blessed we have followed this woman for all these years, undeniably she changed the way people see the written word, the spoken word not to mention when the word is sung… she has opened up the lives of so many, made a difference to women and while doing so has changed the lives of viewers all over the world.  Ms O  will never be forgotten…  i say… she still has some work do to.

Failed promises?


my take on failed promises?   or change to or redirection of promises?

i would say the day the system crashed was the day we all should have hit the re-set button to any campaign pledges that may need a new process to achieve a positive outcome.

… Community Organizer and Senator Obama watched from the side lines, watching, hearing and knowing the status quo had to change …  no financial crisis to speak of but things were not as they should be

… Presidential candidate Obama had an agenda for America, some financial issues are brewing, the house of Bush was focused only on the Iraq war ,  Obama’s  ideas seemed far ahead of the other competitors … he knew what he wanted to do… change the way things are done on the Hill … change takes a while maybe years and so does co-operation…as months go by there are more rumblings of financial problems, he is also faced with lots of criticism … was he an American? did he pal around with terrorists?  could he bring in the vote of not only women but white women and men. Weeks go by when more and more information is coming out … more people notice that there were a lot of layoffs happening and some are talking about Bush being less available…and McCain tells Americans that our economy is still sound/strong?

a few months before Americans had to vote for President of the United States the House of Bush slowly opens the doors of pain… why did they wait until the next administration was about to be put into place?

Wall Street, Main Street, AIG and a lot of Banks Crash … with the house of Bush and Paulson making back room deals …

quite frankly sworn in President Obama had a different Presidency to come into than most

we all need to understand the need for change, redirecting any and quite possibly all campaign promises, why? because our American lives changed, they got worse and the elements needed to create a better situation are not playing … the banks are flexing their muscles, lobbyists are standing in the way, Republicans/Conservatives cannot accept Obama as our President and have become more than just the party of no, some are trying to provoke fear and hate not bipartisanship,  and  is socialist a code for the n word?

Conservative Dems, Congressional folks are not all in for the change the rest of us believed in or want.   we need to tell them … be outraged at the nonsense going on…

we need to reform a part of our economy monopolized by one entity.

so… while President Obama did promise change and he has kept a lot of them, he also stated that he could not make changes alone … we all would have to participate.
