Oprah says she wants Palin on her show.

(CNN) – Did Sarah Palin snub Oprah Winfrey?

That's what the most popular daytime talk show host and fervent Barack Obama supporter appeared to suggest in a recent interview with the entertainment show Extra.

"I said I would be happy to talk to Sarah Palin when the election was over... I went and tried to talk to Sarah Palin and instead she talked to Greta [Van Susteren]. She talked to Matt [Lauer]. She talked to Larry [King]. But she didn't talk to me.”

Winfrey’s comments came in response to rumors she refused to invite the former vice presidential candidate on her popular daytime show.

Earlier this week, the talk show host announced she will tape her inauguration week show in the nation’s capital, and has rented the Kennedy Center’s lush Opera House – which seats roughly 2,300 — to serve as her studio.

“There are not even words to talk about what this night means,” Oprah said of Obama's inauguration. “Everybody keeps using the word historic — there’s never been a night like this on the planet earth… Nothing can compare to this.”

Sarah should go on Oprah's show just as soon as Obama goes on Rush Limbaugh. Funny thing is that Obama would get the fairer shake. And those of you who think that it's only the media that's interested in Sarah Palin are either delusional or in serious denial. And won't you be shocked in 2012 or 2016?

pawswithjaws   December 5th, 2008 11:35 am ET

Ahhh Oprah – The most Racist person in the US other than maybe Bill Cosby. Your show is old news – not anything that someone would make time for out of their busy schedule. Ms. Palin has to get ready to start taking up the slack for the new Unqualified President Elect.

Oprah – you are too good for Palin. She needs to grow some brains before she seats on your coach. don't worry about her – Alaskans are tired of waiting for Palin to do her job as Governor and stop playing Hollywood.

"I've been a Baptist Christian all my life and I must say……..these holier-than-thou, hypocritical, right-wing, nutballs are what's wrong with this country. NO ONE knows for certain what the afterlife will bring…it's a BELIEF! We believe in our God, the same way, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, etc. believe in theirs! "

If this is what you believe Angie you are a Baptist only in the sense that you were raised by Baptists, and perhaps go to a Baptist Church, but you certainly have NO FAITH and NO SALVATION.

There can be only one truth and that is found in the Bible, and if you were a TRUE believer the Holy Spirit would have confirmed God's word in your heart and you would know this.

I pray you read your Bible and discover true Salvation through Jesus Christ.

Sometimes I read some of the opinions and comments developed by our viewers and it disgusts me to the maximum that people are bitter over a women who has done nothing to harm them or their families. People, get a life.

Madelyne   December 5th, 2008 3:14 am ET

I SAID FROM THE VERY START THAT IF I WAS SARAH I WOULD NEVER GIVE BIG O AND INTERVIEW. AND NOW WE KNOW THAT SARAH IS REALLY A SMART WOMAN NOT TO GIVE HER THE TIME OF DAY. GOOD GOING SARAH

Race does not matter   December 5th, 2008 3:04 am ET

MLK had a dream that his children would one day not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. Obama's shady and criminal friends and political connections speak volumes about his character, he that toucheth pitch shall be defiled.
Obama was elected because of the colour of his skin, and everybody closed their eyes to the content of his character. How racist.

Bill   December 5th, 2008 3:03 am ET

Who cares? It's time for Sarah Palin to go back to her job of serving the Alaskan people instead of desperately running around trying to stay in the spotlight with the same media she blasted during the election. Ahhh, Republicans are nothing if not incompotent, self-serving, and hypocritical.

Dorothy in NC   December 5th, 2008 3:02 am ET

I cannot for the life of me understand why people take such issue with Oprah endorsing Obama and subsequently not inviting any other politician on her show. She has the same rights anyone else does and that is to back any candidate of her choice.

I also would celebrate in Washington at the Inauguration if I were her. In her lifetime she lived to see an Afro_American man win the Presidency of the free world. It really is quite profound.

Paul F   December 5th, 2008 3:01 am ET

Oprah's an Elitist, Obama is an Elitist, and the democrat party is full of Elitists. Sarah Palin is above their elitist bs and is more than smart enough to know what a sandbag job the O would do.

The only thing historic about the coming inauguration is that this is the least qualified candidate ever elected, a complete do-nothing empty-shirt. I hope you enjoy the ride, as it's going to be a bumpy one.

Nate   December 5th, 2008 3:00 am ET

me: The Presidential inaguration is a real event that will be witnessed next month whereas the birth and death of jesus christ is a fictitious event.

Oh, Dear! Sounds like Oprah is drinking her own Kool-Aid...and that's not good!

jack   December 5th, 2008 2:58 am ET

Can we all get over the" Biggest Loser" ever put on a Presidential ticket. Palin's only appeal is that of a freak show. Like at a carnival, the pictures on the outside of the tent have more appeal than the "freak" inside.

Frank   December 5th, 2008 2:52 am ET

I wouldnt go on Oprah's show either. She didnt want Gov Palin on because it might detract from precious Obama. The only person that Oprah every supported. If thats not racist I dont know what is. So she got snubbed big deal, She deserved it.

Why would Palin want to talk to Oprah, knowing Oprah will talk about a book from her book club . we all know Palin does not read.
Nice try Oprah.
Palin is not that stupid.

Jay   December 5th, 2008 2:39 am ET

Boo Hoo. Oprah snubbed Palin now she cries foul and feels snubbed because Palin wen to another media source? Hey Oprah, you didn't want her during the campaign because you only supported your messiah – Hussein Obama. But you want her now because you need to keep your ratings afloat. Shame on you Oprah.

chubrock   December 5th, 2008 2:39 am ET

sorry to burst your bubble Oprah...BUT what about South Africa and the death of Apartheid with Nelson Mandela's election victory? How about India's self rule after achieving independence from Great Britain? Bottom line, planet Earth has and will continue to see moments like this. While it is indeed a special watershed moment. unique to our nation..the proof in the pudding will be what Obama can do with his newly found position.

jenny   December 5th, 2008 2:39 am ET

stop being a big baby oprah...what does oprah expect? to hold hands and sing songs around a campfire... Oprah snubbed Sara Palin and hillary Clinton.. Oprah is a traitor to women

myrtle   December 5th, 2008 2:25 am ET

i am surprised that "that" camera hog has not taken ms. winfrey up on her offer. she would certainly have most of her peers to get her points across to. also there was a survey and a documentary stating that the people that voted for obama were not informed. as i recall neither was palin. she did not know the requirements for the job she was applying for. where does that leave her. she just says what ever spills from her mouth without thinking. oprah stuck to her standard. she was not going to use her show as a political platform. the election is over now. i would like to see palin go on the cbs news at night again. she was great in that interview. tsk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Andy, TX   December 5th, 2008 2:25 am ET

...just my two cents on the "there’s never been a night like this on the planet earth" comment.

Unfortunately, when Oprah makes these comments she makes herself look really silly and ends up committing one of the worst American "sins": thinking that something that happens in America is "world wide" (e.g., World Series, World Champs, etc. for North American sports).

Even without making religious references I can think of a better example: Nelson Mandela

That is a far greater example of a "planetary" accomplishment.

By the way, Oprah, the inauguration is at 12 noon on January 20th (not at night)...

Love, Oprah   December 5th, 2008 2:24 am ET

Brad   December 5th, 2008 2:20 am ET

Oprah is racist, she only cared about getting Obama elected and wanted nothing to do with Palin until after the election. Oprah "snubbed" Palin during the campaign, and she doesn't deserve anything from her.

Ann   December 5th, 2008 2:19 am ET

'But she didn't talk to me.”

Melanie   December 5th, 2008 2:16 am ET

Oh Poor Oprah – she's not used to folks not bowing at her feet. You would think Obama is the 2nd coming.

It's about time someone gave her a piece of humble pie! I can't stand to watch the woman.

Jada   December 5th, 2008 2:15 am ET

Gosh!.... Bloggers seem to have some serious issues on here...

WOULD ALL OF YOU REALLY BE MAD IF PALIN WASN"T ON THE TICKET? WOULD YOU HAVE DEMANDED THAT SHE INTERVIEW THE VP CANDIDATE IF IT WEREN'T PALIN?!

My take: Both are right. It would be an abnormally awkward moment to have her on the show. Oprah would have been CAVING to the republican base and compromising her integrity if she had her on the show.

Anonymous   December 5th, 2008 2:14 am ET

It seems unreasonable that Oprah could feel slighted by Sarah Palin now, after Oprah would not allow her on her show during election season (I hope you remember that too!) Going on the show now doesn't help Gov. Palin, it only helps Oprah with a great ratings bonanza, and it helps recoup her image in the eyes of the conservative woman she alienated with her stance on the election. You can't use people only when it's convenient for you Miss Winfrey, sorry.

Abe Froman - Chicago   December 5th, 2008 2:13 am ET

When and How has Oprah become the voice of America? Cmon. She ripped off everything from Phil Donahue.

Although I am not a fan of Sarah Palin, Oprah did not give her a "fair" chance, especially if she interviewed or met with the other candidates.

Moureen   December 5th, 2008 2:09 am ET

The way some here go on about Oprah rejoicing in the election of the first Black American President is truly sad. Some of the statements make me question if their hosing the board for fun, or truly believe what they say.

Great!   December 5th, 2008 2:02 am ET

It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood. Nobody wants to hear anything lil Ms. Sarah has to say. She's angry because Oprah supported Obama during the election, which is her right. No one wants to hear from her anymore, anyways. Hey Sarah, there goes a moose!

PULEEEZZZ!! lets tell some truth   December 5th, 2008 1:56 am ET

Sarah Palin is the dumbest politician next to Bush Ive ever seen.. She would LOOK EXTRA DUMB next to an intellegent woman like Oprah. No wonder Sarah wont go for it..

Vy, California   December 5th, 2008 1:56 am ET

Carylie....why don't you bury yourself in that flag, you hater. you're at odds with everything America loves. You must hate your missarable loveless life.

Get somewhere Sarah!   December 5th, 2008 1:55 am ET

I'm sure Oprah is losing sleep over not talking to that nim wit, ding bat, able to see Russia from Alaska Sarah Palin. Ms. Palin, is upset because Oprah supported Obama for President. Sarah came on the scene like she was the bomb, but because of her own inexperience did she deplode like an old run down, rat infested building. Nobody wants to hear what she has to say, especially about being an every woman. Sarah, thank you for not wasting the viewers time.

Kaci   December 5th, 2008 1:54 am ET

It's good to see that the election changed nothing for most of these posters – they are STILL ignorant and racist, just life before the election. Why does Oprah have to be racist to support a candidate? Is she not an American? Can't she support and vote for a candidate of her choice? Last I checked this was still a free country. Does her celebrity status mean her vote doesn't count? I thought, rather hoped that people who didn't vote for Obama could move on – I see they are mired in their continued racism and stupidity with these continuously ridiculous posts. Get off the computer and go make a difference, for pete's sake!

Jeremy   December 5th, 2008 1:54 am ET

Oprah what do you expect. You first chose not to interview her citing some strategic reason as not to detract from your own agenda. Well then suck it up. You are not the only thing going so please don't think you are and don't expect people to simply dance to your tune. Its false to some people.

Suzy-Q   December 5th, 2008 1:53 am ET

I have more respect and adoration for Sarah now than I did before. Palin 2012. Oprah showed her true colors during this past election. I made a decision to boycott her show and her ego-centric magazine and anything she touches. She is very very over rated. Hollywood is fickle, every one sooner or later looses their popularity and favor of the public, looks like from the above comments Oprah is on her way out. Hooray!!

Anonymous   December 5th, 2008 1:52 am ET

Oprah is only for Obama because he is black.

Ken in NC   December 5th, 2008 1:51 am ET

I know Oprah is sitting home right now just crying her heart out because Palin would not come to her show. Like Oprah cares. Like anyone else cares. I'm glad she didn't go on Oprah. I just want her to go away.

Chris   December 5th, 2008 1:51 am ET

The historical evidence for Jesus Christ is minimal at best...

I don't know if I'd use exactly the words Oprah chose to describe Obama's inauguration, though I'd put a lot more weight on Oprah's existence than the 'Jesus Christ walk-on-water' myth that you seem to believe in. Of course, you're going to tell me, that since it appears in the bible, it must be true...

Steve   December 5th, 2008 1:49 am ET

Hmmm. Oprah VERY publicly supported Obama and I'm sure had a strong influence over her mindless sheep to vote for Obama ... so explain to me why Palin would even WANT to go on Oprah? I applaud her for snubbing Oprah

Rockford   December 5th, 2008 1:48 am ET

I agree it's historic... but the most historic I don't know...

Declaration of Independence
Emancipation Proclamation
Walking on the Moon
Penicillin
Pasteurization
Discovering Beer
Discovering Fire (leading to BBQ)

Many great moments in my opinion…

Yeah right   December 5th, 2008 1:45 am ET

>>>You folks are funny!!! None of you know Alaska, Alaska is the RICHEST STATE of the Union. That's the ONLY state of the Union every man, woman and child received dividend from their oil company annually>>>>>

Hey neutraliser......you know what receiving dividents from oil companies mean? Spreading the wealth maybe? or even socialism?
Because that is exactly what Alaska is. It is the only state that actually has socialism , a word that makes people like you sick.
As for Oprah's statement of the most important thing that happened on planet earth and some peoples statements about Jesus birth I have to say that even the invention of sewing is more important than both.

Big Deal   December 5th, 2008 1:43 am ET

Like it matters... Everyone with a brain knew McCain didn't stand a chance of becoming President after 8 years of Bush's reign of errors. He picked Sarah Palin to be his VP so he could blame her when he lost instead of admitting it was a losing battle to begin with. A typically Republicon move.

Wendy NC   December 5th, 2008 1:36 am ET

Wow, came here and could barely get thru the first 10 comments without feeling like I need a shower, just from all the hate and vitriol.

You know, we could all sit back and learn a lesson from our new President-Elect and that is the lesson of graciousness and generosity towards those who don't share our views. Equanimity can be an example that he sets for the world. I really hate to think that this is read by people around the world who would view us as such childish human beings. We are supposed to be held to a higher standard, so think about your words before you hit that 'submit comment' button, please.

TX Principal   December 5th, 2008 1:36 am ET

Free speech is one of the things that make the USA GREAT. Hate is NOT! Whether Palin goes on Oprah or Oprah has her opinion of the historical significance of the inauguration is irrelevant. As an educator we try daily to teach children to "play nicely", get along with others, be good listeners, and respect others. We try to teach them to accept those they disagree with or those that are different from them. We try to do this at the same time we teach them the academics, fine arts, and keep them physically fit. This is a 24/7 job that will never "pay" enough monetarily. "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree" and sadly enough our children are repeating the same hate filled comments in our schools.
REAL Americans will help educators teach children good citizenship, as will true believers in the Almighty and non-believers. Great citizens of this GREAT nation will band together and refrain from hate mongering and name calling to make their point. As I read these "comments" I wondered if each person could look in the mirror and be PROUD to teach children what they said in their comment. I can.
For those of you that wish to "tear down" rather than "build up". Try tearing down the walls of hate. It worked in Berlin, it can work in the USA.

Lynn   December 5th, 2008 1:34 am ET

Good for you Sarah!!! Oprah needs a reality check! Obama is not the Second Coming of Christ! He's just going to be another president of the U.S.A., not the bloody savior of Planet Earth!

All politicians are alike! They say what the people want to hear to get elected and then do what they want once they're in office. Half of what Obama promised is impossible for him to keep, so get real!

linda hemmingsen   December 5th, 2008 1:32 am ET

Thank God Palin regetted operas offer!why would she go on her show to be humiliated?the view attacked sarah palin and macain andcouldn't keep their hands off obama as they said how handsome he was ugh you people have been drinking too much koolaid it is turning your brains to mush. when obama shows his true colors i wonder what you will be thinking and wondering what were you thinking of to vote for him. the medai has been in the tank for obama and they have done nothing to vett him nobody has. the courageous on the blogs and fox news are the only reporters left in america to really be news people who are honest and have integredy for the facts and truth. opera i used to watch you but over the years the woman who made you became no longer necessary so you went to your roots and you changed from a person who was open to everyone and who wanted to empower women to the highest calling that they could be but did you try to foster that on your show you betrayed yourself by not supportting hillary or palin.

I am so glad Palin didn't come on Oprah!!! I wish she would disappear to the backwoods of Alaska!! My brain can't take that silly junk any more!!!! When I see those light heads gasping for air around her, I say, "No wonder America is in such a mess!" Palin is like some bad reality show person re: Bridgette Nielson, Flava Flav, Nee Nee, New York. Everyone's gawking until they get tired of her, then they will toss her aside for the next bubble head doll or the next Legally Blonde I & II, Miss Congeniality I & II incarnation copycat likeSarah Palin. Remember Tyra Banks doll character who came to life?
Airheads can't you all see Sarah Palin is just running the movie star theme to the dunces of America. Throw in Pretty Woman and a few porn and you have Palin's complete mo!!!!! Her speeches are about as good as those scripts!!!! Send Palin to spend some time with John Edwards and Mike Vick!!! She is a worse animal abuser than Mike Vick!!! At least Mike tried to hide his actions. Palin is bold and cold with her action. Where the heck is PETA and all you Vick haters now??? Palin wants to come on Oprah! She is just holding out for more money. She's just doing whatever it takes to get paid now!!!

If anyone is racist, it's Palin. The reason I say this is because of the behavior of the people at her 'rallies'. I think she's just like those low information voters who were calling the for the death of Mr. Obama and I don't blame Oprah one bit for not allowing Palin to spout her nonsense on her show. I must commend Oprah for being one of the few people in America who knows how to shut Palin up.

SB   December 5th, 2008 1:28 am ET

More about Sarah Palin? She is a ding dong. Enough already, we will hear about her enough when 2012 arrives,

The fact that she is still a topic of conversation in this country speaks volumes of how dysfunctional the USA has become.

TX Lady   December 5th, 2008 1:23 am ET

So much hate and ignorance in one place.....shame shame.

mick   December 5th, 2008 1:23 am ET

I love Sarah Palin...almost as much as Oprah loves herself.

You'd vote for Sarah if she disposed of your property taxes. You know you would. You all would rather have your money spread around, yeah right...when you tire of that, you'll come to your senses...

Palin generates the most comments – even MSNBC senses greatness in her. Deep down, all of you know this, especialy those of you who want to squelch her as soon as possible. Think about it. Stop the self-loathing and go ahead and like her. Remember, Tina Fey is just a limp imitation.

Beverly in NC   December 5th, 2008 1:22 am ET

Oprah!
DO NOT HAVE PALIN ON YOUR SHOW – WE SAW ENOUGH OF THIS MORON DURING THE ELECTION!

SHE HAS NOTHING OF VALUE TO SAY. SHE IS A CONVICTED CRIMINAL IN ALASKA. SHE IS A LIAR. SHE IS A SPREADER OF HATRED AND RACISM. HOW COULD YOU EVEN CONSIDER HAVING THIS WOMAN WHO PURPOSEFULLY TRIED TO INCITE VIOLENCE AGAINST OBAMA AT HER HATE RALLIES??

LET'S LET HER GO BACK TO BEING A NOBODY.....

SS   December 5th, 2008 1:22 am ET

I'll always remember, years ago, when Oprah featured Gore and Bush on seperate shows. She was warm and wonderful to Gore, mouthing "vote for him" at the end of the show. She was horrible to Bush–cold, all but outright rude. I was disgusted with her and haven't watched much of her show since. Oprah's anything but fair and balanced.

Vero   December 5th, 2008 1:19 am ET

I'm glad she wont come on Oprah. Palin is a joke. The only reason anyone interviews her is to see what stupid thing she will say next. Even her dumb butt knows it.

southernhrt   December 5th, 2008 1:12 am ET

I feel like this is a waste of time since you have never published anything I have written. I used to like Oprah. She has become so new age, out there I can't stand to watch her. Palin is so much better than Oprah. At least Palin has taken a stand on her beliefs and sticks with them. Whenever Oprah says the words God or Jesus I laugh.

Tom Hands   December 5th, 2008 1:12 am ET

What is the big deal? Instead of being fair and biased talk show host, "O" snubbed Sarah during the election weeks. Why should Sarah sit and talk with her now? It would have been a popular segment if prior to the election "O" had her on for a chat. But she chose not to because she did not want her to gain any more popularity and hurt our new President's chances at that point. So stop whining "O", you snubbed her first!

reebee   December 5th, 2008 1:10 am ET

why would Sarah Palin ever talk to Oprah? She isn't a respectable journalist like the others she mentioned that got the interview instead of her! They didn't go jumping for joy, crying their makeup off, pretending Obama is Jesus! If i was Palin I would tell Oprah to kick rocks.... go interview ur beloved! B/c we all know you would push Michele Obama down a flight of stairs to take her place... she is disgusting!!! I will never watch her show again!

Amarissa   December 5th, 2008 1:09 am ET

I wouldn't do her show either ! Good for you, Sarah! Enough of the media bias! History would have been made by having a woman president, not another man! The media trashed Hillary first and then Sarah Palin and women should be furious over this issue! We are 52% of the population and we can't even run for POTUS without being mocked even by our own gender! The women in this election year were vetted like never in our history, but we cannot say the same about the selected candidate. If we asked questions we were considered racists but being sexist was very cool this year! For the sake of our country I hope the media's choice for President does a good job.

overfiend   December 5th, 2008 1:09 am ET

"Does that mean Oprah Winfrey does not believe in the existance of Jesus Christ on planet earth? or is the inauguration of Obama more important than the birth and death of Jesus Christ here on planet earth?"

It's unlikely that as many people will die over Obama, then have over Jesus. So your probably right, unless Obama break out the nukes.

Jonathan   December 5th, 2008 1:08 am ET

I find it amusing that so many people are taking and twisting Oprah's words as if she were insulting religious beliefs.

Come on people. Have you nothing better to do with your lives then attack Oprah for what she believes in? She supported Obama. Big deal. She likes Obama. Big deal. She voted for Obama. Big deal. Get over it.

Oprah has worked very hard in her life to get were she is at. Yes she is a media mogul but underneath that she is just like an average joe. She has faith in Obama just like millions of other people in this world. Is there something wrong with that? After all, isn't the bible based on faith rather then fact?

Oprah is flawed. Just like you. Just like me. Why judge her for hers? If you were dedicated enough and worked as hard you too could have your own talk show and be as successful. I'm sure you all would do things differently and never show your biased opinions and be totally fair. After all, you can all walk on water.

Cindy KS   December 5th, 2008 1:04 am ET

Oprah is nothing but a user just like obama and all the women who watch her show are nothing but sheep who can't think for themselves.

Mike Mc   December 5th, 2008 1:03 am ET

wait...are we still talking about Sarah Palin?? If so, then why aren't there any stories about Spiro Agnew as well?

Fred   December 5th, 2008 12:59 am ET

Why would a intelligent person like Palin want to talk to a dumb broad like oprah

Ron Vargas   December 5th, 2008 12:58 am ET

I am beginning to believe Republicans, Christians, and maybe just the whole right wing are the most ignorant people on this planet. Their true colors are showing now the election is over and it's not pretty. I would not have been very proud of my country if those 2 dim wits were elected.
dim wits running for office representing the dim wits.

RODAN   December 5th, 2008 12:57 am ET

Oprah... who cares... you won...get over it.... Sarah dosn't have to talk to you if she dosn't want to.

FIGHT THE RETHUGS   December 5th, 2008 12:56 am ET

I hate seeing these comments made by you rethuglicans who just can't accept the fact that Americans are too smart too let you trash our country anymore. Anti-intellectuals and right-wing extremists, thank the Lord that the American people decided that they were NOT what this country

G.Kazmier   December 5th, 2008 12:54 am ET

I can't believe the fanaticism of the American people acting like deer caught in the lights of an on-coming car dazed by someone of color making president who now says "Don't expect too much as it may take me two terms to MAYBE get the job done." This is a real joke on all the people who actually think ANYONE can keep all the promises that were made. And BAILOUTS are coming out of the woodwork. Can anyone with a brain figure out a nation that doesn't have endless funds bailout the world. I thought Americans were more savy on issues and could figure out 2 plus 2. Pretty Sad!!!!!

Kathy Scioscia - Phoenix   December 5th, 2008 12:54 am ET

You know, you Obama-haters need to stop living in the past. Deal with the fact that you all lost. Whether or not you like Oprah or not - Palin is just a Barbie prop with an annoying voice and I am GLAD she is not going on Oprah.

She should actually ghostwrite George Bush's book - wouldn't that be an easy read - HA!

Jax Voter   December 5th, 2008 12:52 am ET

Why should Sarah Palin appear on Oprah now when she wouldn't have her on during the campaign. She owes her nothing. Good for Sarah! Enertainers and celebrities need to realize that espousing their political views on their programs turn off viewers who do not believe as they do. I now refuse to watch any of these programs including news media who do not present both sides of the issues. Many of them don't even pretend to be unbiased anymore. I am also beginning to pay attention to the advertisers who use these platforms and will not buy their products.

Nick - West Hills (L.A.), CA   December 5th, 2008 12:52 am ET

MARY BUELA   December 5th, 2008 12:52 am ET

I'm so sick of hearing about Palin. Why do the news media keep giving her air time? She's the most uninformed person that's ever run for ofice

Oprah certainly doesn't need Palin. Oprah's the richest woman in the world, and she can buy and sell the state of Alaska.

RJ, CA   December 5th, 2008 12:52 am ET

While I don't watch Oprah - or any daytime show (I have a full and interesting life outside that), she seemed like a fairly objective person. However, this comment of hers is just UNBELIEVABLE. I would say man's first landing on the moon outranks Obama's inauguration, Oprah!

anne   December 5th, 2008 12:52 am ET

Oprah is far too intelligent to have to attempt to carry on a conversation with ms bimbo palin. That person is just not right in the head. Why are people still supporting her? They must be as dumb as she is. Oprah is a beautiful carrying person. palin has done nothing to help mankind.

jason k williams   December 5th, 2008 12:51 am ET

While we can argue with racial issues, this campaign brought out the ignorance and hatred in a lot of people. As an american, who like any real american is christian and has decent moral character, I do not see how you people could have voted in such a person who believes in ABORTION, LYING, STEM CELL RESEARCH to the uneducated voters(killing more unborn babies); TAKING AWAY GUNS, AND TAXING CHUCHES, WHICH WILL DO AWAY WITH CHRISTIANITY. So, to you OHB supporters, where will you be on judgement day, or will you call on Obama for your change?

KCBob   December 5th, 2008 12:50 am ET

Dr. June Dobbs Butts   December 5th, 2008 12:48 am ET

Remember that old saying, "actions speak louder than words"? Well, apply that platitude to Governor Sarah Palin and she appears pallid – as a politician, as a mother, and as a role model. Her "fame"
is fading, quickly.

todd   December 5th, 2008 12:48 am ET

Tony   December 5th, 2008 12:40 am ET

If Oprah really want Sarah P. on her show, all she had to do was offer her a little money like......... $150,000.
Sarah, the RNC gave you $150,000, but don't think for one moment, that you are getting this from the Queen of the daytime talk shows.
Most of you that blogged negatively about Oprah, will tune in to watch the show, just like many of you went behind the curtain and voted for Obama. Saying one thing and doing another is considered a hypocrite!

Color didnt have anything to do with it.. please people get the facts straight.

laurence   December 5th, 2008 12:26 am ET

the fact of the matter is that ms. palin is the racist and probably the vast majority of her supporters. i never once saw her make a kind jesture to a single black person (unless of course they were talking about killing Obama.) you people have got some nerve, but we've got your number. thank GOD it won't take until 2047 to put you in the minority once and for all! the narrow-minded repugnican (so-called conservative right-wing, "christian right", "you betcha" party) should have wiped before getting up. you really smell of hate and bigotry. we all know that Obama is no terrorist sympothizer but you guys simply won't let it alone. you had better "check yourselves before you wreck yourselves". either except a free and fair america or there may be no america in our future.

Laurie   December 5th, 2008 12:26 am ET

Didn't your Mother's ever tell you that if you didn't have anything nice to say – don't say anything.
You are certainly entitled to your opinion but many of us have great respect for Governor Palin. Our opinion counts just as greatly as yours.

Danny G   December 5th, 2008 12:23 am ET

Well, well, well....it's payback time! Give it to her, Sarah! Stick it up her you know what.....she was SO SCARED about inviting you during the campaign, thinking you might steal votes, and NOW she wants to talk to you? Go Gretta!!!! Out with the OLD and FAT , in with the new!!! PALIN 2012!!!!!

liz   December 5th, 2008 12:22 am ET

Vicki from Estacada, OREGON   December 5th, 2008 12:21 am ET

Way to go Sarah!!! I wouldn't bother to give her the time of day either after the way she showed exceedingly excessive and extremely biased support for Obama throughout the entire campaign on her TV show and in interviews. Truly irresponsible and almost completely expected for someone in the "entertainment" industry these days. I absolutely applaud you for sticking to your proverbial guns.

Nick   December 5th, 2008 12:21 am ET

C'mon Oprah,

there has maybe been 1 or 2 days that have been bigger than this in the history of the earth... you go girly.... but none bigger than yo booty

satan   December 5th, 2008 12:19 am ET

You Americans sure are pathetic – and dumb! No wonder scholastically you rate near the bottom in the world. Some third world countries rate much higher than you turkeys. What the heck is going on with you people? You're supposed to be a world power but you're all stupid. But it's not your fault. Your gov't wants to keep you dumb so they can manipulate you. It worked with Bush, you dummies!

David   December 5th, 2008 12:17 am ET

Palin did interviews with REAL journalists. When Oprah came out in full support of another candidate, she forfeited her right to interview Palin with any notion of neutrality. Conflict of interest. Period.

Oh, and another thing. "nothing can compare to this." Wow, easily one of the most shortsighted statements I've heard in quite some time. Some bigger events in US history . . . I'll just name two – July 4, 1776 and December 18, 1865 (13th Amendment ends slavery).

Red or Blue?   December 5th, 2008 12:14 am ET

The real problem is that Oprah is a racist who would not be interested in having an intelligent conversation with Sarah Palin. She would only want her on the show so that she could boost her ratings by being rude, ignorant, disrepectful and gloat about her "man" winning the election. Why should anyone put themselves through something like that? Intelligent and Oprah don't really belong in the same sentence. I for one lost all respect for Oprah, along with Barbara Walters and Whoopie Goldberg during this election. True color haters really do shine through. And in this case it was red vs. blue.

Vicki   December 5th, 2008 12:14 am ET

Way to go Sarah!!! I wouldn't bother to give her the time of day either after the way she made such an offensive & exceedingly excessive show of biased support for Obama. I applaud you lady for sticing to your proverbial guns.

srm   December 5th, 2008 12:13 am ET

An insecure black television personality wants an illiterate governor to come on her show....
Only in America. Where do hide from these people?

Bravo to Sarah for dissing Oprah. Maybe she should change the name of her network to the Obama channel. LOL

Roberto   December 5th, 2008 12:12 am ET

Hey Me; Is your religion better than other religions? FYI, JC was jewish and a prophet. Nothing more.

As far as Palin, after 8 years of listening to Bush brutalize the English language, why would anyone want to listen to the hillbilly from Wasilla?

Tina, NC   December 5th, 2008 12:09 am ET

I have managed to stay away from all the blogs since the election was over. I decide to come to the ticker and all I see is the same bunch of right-wing, completely irrational, nasty, comments I saw before the election.

All the people trashing Oprah need to get a life. Oprah is someone who came from nothing. NOTHING! But, she used her brain, unlike your beloved Palin and made something of herself not by her looks or her trash talk but by hard work and by trying to help people.

I will never forget being 12 years old and watching an Oprah show in which they were discussing sexual abuse and realizing that what had happened to me as a young child was wrong. That was back when people didn't talk about those things. But, Oprah had the guts to do it. That show changed my life. I can guarantee you that there are millions of people who's lives have been changed because of Oprah's advocacy work including sexual abuse victims.

What does your beloved Palin do but use her poor child as a campaign prop to score political points. I never heard of any groups for the mentally disabled that she's working with have you?

In my opinion Palin doesn' t deserve to lick Oprah 1000 dollar shoes.

Lost in Texas   December 5th, 2008 12:07 am ET

I think Oprah represents something that quite a few on the far right hate mongers fear......
An educated, African American woman who is a self made BILLION...not million, but BILLIONAIRE that could buy each and every one of you haters on here including Sarah Palin and STILL be rich. In a nation where wealth is power, Oprah has it and you haters just can't stand that. Palin couldn't hold up to Oprah and if she had any sense she WOULD go on her show. Who ever heard of Dr. Phil before he was on Oprah? Some writers became household names because of her. You right wing jealous haters keep right on hating as Oprah gets richer.

Nate P, MN   December 5th, 2008 12:06 am ET

A lot of people on here are disrespecting Oprah, however she's a very generous person. Some of your comments on her weight are rather offensive. I think she's an important figure in American culture. She regularly gives to charitable organizations as well as helping others in need on her show.

Jan   December 5th, 2008 12:03 am ET

If Governor Palin invited Oprah to Alaska to conduct her interview, how do you think Oprah would react? What a comedy that would be. Oprah wouldn't be able to wear enough designer parkas to keep her warm. Oh yeah, and then put her on a snow machine ... a la Greta. Talk about a good sport and a great interviewer–that's Greta!

Tony E.   December 5th, 2008 12:03 am ET

Of course, Palin only does those interviews which she can now stage. She's learned her lesson dealing with Katie Couric. No need to answer real questions, about real issues. A few zingers here, a few zingers there, a wave, a smile and a wink. That's her repertoire.

Hey "Smart guy", Obama won "inspite of his color?", "because of his color?" ... Neither! He won my non-care-about-color independent vote due to his intelligence, organization, and stand on the issues.....and because the other team was so unqualified and incapable. For a "smart guy", you made quite a stupid statement.

Gonna be a loooonnnng 4 years   December 5th, 2008 12:02 am ET

Who cares if she snubbed Oprah? Oprah despite her inflated egotistical self-opinion doesn't have a monopoly of who gets to be interviewed on TV and by whom

ryan   December 5th, 2008 12:00 am ET

It is time for the presidential team to slowly take a healthy distance from Oprah .

We will be grateful for the work you have done but the time of "letting go" is coming near because 'real work' is about to be done .

Larry Y   December 4th, 2008 11:59 pm ET

Don't blame her. The Oprahmessiah can have the Obamamessiah on, but noooooooo not an Sarah. I thought Oprah didn't support politics on her show. Say What?

Dave from PA   December 4th, 2008 11:58 pm ET

Sarah who? Does anybody think she will be relevant in a year from now unless she tries to get Alaska to secede from the United States. The McCain campaign may regret ever picking her as his V.P. choice. One more thing, how can we miss you if you don't go away!

paul   December 4th, 2008 11:58 pm ET

Why would any one care what that fat old hag Oprah has to say in the first place.

lets face it she do anything she could in order to make Palin look at dumb as Oprah is.

I bet Oprah thinks it was her that got Obama elected in the first place. gee that hag is full of herself.

SD   December 4th, 2008 11:58 pm ET

Ms. Winfrey really needs to get over herself.

Jane you ignorant...   December 4th, 2008 11:58 pm ET

Sarah is a hate monger. I met her in CO and watched a lot of smart people exit. She is the devil in a rented dress.

Christine D   December 4th, 2008 11:57 pm ET

I hope she never gives her an interview. Oprah is so over rated.

Chris in Va.   December 4th, 2008 11:57 pm ET

3strikes-You have to be the dumbest SOB on these blogs. (even Grif)
I can certainly understand how YOU think Palin is a genius.
You talk about someone having their head up someone's arse, evidently yours is so far up Palin's you can see what she had for breakfast.

Frank D   December 4th, 2008 11:56 pm ET

Copano_Texian   December 4th, 2008 11:53 pm ET

who cares about opraaah? nobody but opraaaah. gun sales are up 50%, and those guns are being sold to red states mostly. if you are against the death penalty, for abortion, think christians who try follow the bible are not as enlightened as you, but muslims who want to live in the 14th century are just misunderstood, then you most likey live in a blue state where you do have full second amendment rights and should stop trying to pick a civil war with the rest of us who spent sunday at the range.

Wow...racism is alive and well. I cant believe how many people have such negative comments about oprah and obama. America still has a long way to go and i certainly hope we get there. Oprah is a well respected person that has no hidden agenda against sarah but the righties would not see that.

Saint Louis Resident   December 4th, 2008 11:44 pm ET

Oprah should have had Governor Palin on her show before the election. Governor Palin was put in an impossible position, but now she is making the most of it and she should never go on Oprah's show.

President elect Obama will deserve the adulation if he is successful. He has yet to prove himself. Until then, it is blind adulation. Four years from now, we can say his Inauguration was a great thing. Right now, it is just another inauguration except this time he is not white. It is good that a black man was elected. Just remember that it took white votes as well as black and hispanic, etc. to elect him.

Chris in Va.   December 4th, 2008 11:44 pm ET

To hell with Doprah AND Piglin. That goes for you bible thumping idiots too.

Cindy   December 4th, 2008 11:42 pm ET

Hey carylie! Get over it. The election is over, and the people have spoken. It's time to rally behind the new president. If you don't like it, and you believe this country is in such "distress," that you would disgrace it by flying our flag upside down at half-mast, then you can hit the border and call another country your home. The past 8 years hasn't been something to be proud of, yet you don't see citizens all over the country flying their flags upside down. People like you are despicable! I don't care what your feelings were during the election process. It's over with! Move on! If you can't move on and be proud of your country, you don't deserve to live in this great country!

Bill Van Kestral   December 4th, 2008 11:40 pm ET

First she wouldn't have anything to do with Sara Palin, now suddenly she's acts surprised that she hasn't heard from her? Let's be a little more forthright Ms. O. ...your unwavering support for Obama and bias was the only reason you wouldn't want to give Sara Palin any air time during the election. In regards to her comments about the inauguaration as 'Historic', 'Never been a night like this on planet earth' and 'Nothing can compare to this'? ... come on Oprah, get real!!!...it's just an inauguration and there's been plenty before this one!

Cathy in Florida   December 4th, 2008 11:38 pm ET

You've got to be kidding!!

Are we STIIIIIILLLLLLL talking about Sarah Palin? The woman who soooooo loves this country that she wanted her state of Alaska to ceceed from the Union?

PLEASE keep this woman out of the papers and OFF our TV screens

Joseph   December 4th, 2008 11:38 pm ET

Wow! what is wrong with ppl? is it a new thing to super exaggerate? that is exactly what O did. who didn't use ... gazillion or ... whatever i know where ur all come from? it is ur inner non stability that overcome your brain whenever some famous black say something. for those hypocrite who dared to cite bible.... for what?. amazing. this suit u ...Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

Jim Kennedy   December 4th, 2008 11:37 pm ET

If Sara snubbed Oprah – good. Oprah started the bad feelings herself so she has no one to blame but herself. Besides, Sarah has as much out front charisma, smarts and looks as Oprah so now Oprah seems to be a little jealous – you think?

Loving life on Earth   December 4th, 2008 11:36 pm ET

It is simply amazing to me how, in the good ole US of A, people are just so negative about everything. I know the 1st Amendment is there for a reason. But sometimes I just wish these negative people would just disappear for a year or 2 or FOREVER.....

voiceofreason   December 4th, 2008 11:35 pm ET

Nothing can compare? Serious?

I understand the historic part. I get the significance of having a black president in the White House. What I don't get is how some people practically worship Obama.

We are not to elevate men above God. Our government can't save us, nor can it solve all of our problems. It can help, but it can't fix EVERYTHING. Neither can a president.

Not only that, but you can't BLAME the president for all your problems, either, those of you who are Bush-haters. Talk about ignorant.

eunice c -- trenton new jersey   December 4th, 2008 11:35 pm ET

okay haters cut it out sarah palin has five kids a husband that don't work and a grandbaby on the way she has her hands full - that boyfriend will not marry that girl - the baby last name will be palin and besides sarah lied on stage about them getting married –and by the way sarah palin is not rich she don't have nothing - she used john mccain she didn't have decent clothes to wear while campaigning she has never, ever helped anyone at least oprah helps people SHE TOOK THE CLOTHES HOME THAT YOU TAXPAYERS PAID FOR she didn't use me SORRY GO HOME SARAH PALIN AND TAKE FOR NO WORKING HUSBAND AND YOUR PREGNANT DAUGHTER WITH YOU

google   December 4th, 2008 11:35 pm ET

google palin and the house gate. why not require permits as mayor then build a house? seems fishy....... show us the paperwork sarah!

Chrissie   December 4th, 2008 11:35 pm ET

Oprah, looks like your money can't buy everything. You know you would be bias to her and she doesn't need to waste her time with you. You are no longer a stepping stone for people. People used to think if I am on the Oprah show I am "somebody". I praise God that isn't so much the view now.

Margo Westerlund   December 4th, 2008 11:34 pm ET

What a wonderful time in our lives. I have supported Obama many many months ago when Bush thought his name was Barack bin laden. I'm absolutely overjoyed we finally have our President that cares for all of us. I LOVE IT., Oprah keep up the good work and I wish I could be with you the most imprtant day of my life in America since I emigrated here on Valentines day 1955 at teh age of 19. God bless us all and most of all God Bless Barck , Michelle , and the girls.

Love to you all and thank God for finally seeing the light.

Good Job Sarah!!!! Oprah is as racist as they come!!! Sarah is to GOOD for Oprah anyway. Glad she snubbed that old witch!!!!

honest america   December 4th, 2008 11:33 pm ET

why snub real comments? palin is a criminal!

who?   December 4th, 2008 11:32 pm ET

palin is a nobody. go back to white collar alaska crime.

Nancy   December 4th, 2008 11:31 pm ET

Big deal. Hasn't she run her course. Enough already. Go interview the messiah.

gordo for sarah   December 4th, 2008 11:31 pm ET

I guess Sarah's interviews with Greta, Matt, and Larry don't count if she also doesn't chat with Oprah?

It's about time Oprah hears the word "no"!

Go away, OW, your public fawning over BO is sickening.

Max   December 4th, 2008 11:31 pm ET

I don't watch Oprah. So I'm indifferent about her TV show politics.

honest america   December 4th, 2008 11:30 pm ET

we are still investigating the home palin built. no permits after she abolished the program to build her home. palin is over, done and with stevens in the criminal column.

Sherry   December 4th, 2008 11:29 pm ET

I think Oprah should drop it. Palin thinks she's a Diva and trying to get Oprah to beg. Palin should respect Oprah for not using her show as a political platform. No big loss to the Oprah Show. There are far more interesting people for her to have on her show and who are not so self-absorbed as Palin is.

Bert Black   December 4th, 2008 11:28 pm ET

Opra – get a life and get past yourself. No onw owes you anything

primarywatcher   December 4th, 2008 11:26 pm ET

woooo doggie! I'm confused! Oprah is full of love, and folks her words as acts of blaspheme?? And then, they further spew the most vitriol hatred towards their "neighbors"?

Do you folks ever actually read the bible? Amaaaazing! There is enormous love in this world for Obama and all you do is hate? Do you think your hate pleases God?

Talk about a reckoning!

Pearl Schmunk   December 4th, 2008 11:26 pm ET

When Sarah wins the elction for President in 2012...she may consider going on Oprah and givings her a lesson on "grace". Until she doesn't need her for sure! She has worked to do being the best Governor in America....and I guess the most Beautiful!

Edward SSF   December 4th, 2008 11:26 pm ET

Praying that Oprah never invites her, hmmmm that sounds pretty pathetic. I guess because she does not believe in the same thing you do her message or story should not be told. Here is an idea, change the channel and pray for world peace. Sarah 2012

“There are not even words to talk about what this night means,” Oprah said of Obama's inauguration. “Everybody keeps using the word historic — there’s never been a night like this on the planet earth… Nothing can compare to this.”

The quote above from Oprah seems that Obama is greater than the birth of Christ. I think everyone seems to be a little out of control about Obama from the press to Oprah who seems to think he is the next coming.

I hope for the sake of the United States that a person with no experince can fix the problems we have now.

Steve in WI   December 4th, 2008 11:24 pm ET

Man, I expected to read the usual dismissals of Palin but I had no idea that so many readers/posters here hate Oprah Winfrey. Rage on, dudes.

By the way, Oprah never said that Obama was bigger than Jesus; she only said that this inauguration would be unique in history. Indeed, it will be. I'm not sure if people are raining on this parade out of jealousy that the spotlight isn't on Sarah this time, or if they're eager to downplay the achievement of a black man, or if they're just tired of all the buzz.

Mary   December 4th, 2008 11:24 pm ET

Oh give me a break. A new president is a big deal every 4 years and there is always nothing to compare. It is always a fresh start for all of us and there are always 50% who are disappointed. I personally do not understand why white women even bother to watch you Oprah – you are so racist.

Mike in San Antonio   December 4th, 2008 11:24 pm ET

For the love of God, Oprah..."there’s never been a night like this on the planet earth"...seriously? You seriously think this tops everything else? Are you insane or just so full of your own hype that you think whatever comes out of your mouth is gold?

As to Gov Palin not coming on your show? Why should she? You didn't have time for her during the campaign so why should she have anything to do with you now? Get over yourself!

fat john   December 4th, 2008 11:23 pm ET

Two of the most irrelevant people ever.

Anonymous, FL   December 4th, 2008 11:23 pm ET

I wonder if there would have been this many hate-full bloggers if the repugs could have USED Oprah to have THAT WOMAN on her show.

Oprah doesn't need THAT WOMAN for the ratings. THAT WOMAN talks in incoherent circles. She was only good for inciting hatred & racism. What a Christian!

OBSERVATION: Not all republicans are racists, but most racists are republicans.

Don Thomas   December 4th, 2008 11:23 pm ET

Why does anyone even watch that horrible talk show host? She is boring and her fake emotions are annoying.

LoriLu Sprague   December 4th, 2008 11:20 pm ET

I have one thing to say to Oprah – Get over it and get over yourself!!!!
MONEY can't buy you everything. You bought Obama – I hope you get what you paid for. I use to be a fan – not anymore!!!!!

Robert   December 4th, 2008 11:18 pm ET

Please enough on of Sarah Palin this women will never be president, she so far out of mainstream and only appeal to the far far right wing of the republican party, this same reason why Jesse Jackson could never be president to far to left. I hope the republican party is stupid enough to nominate her in 2012.

Rena   December 4th, 2008 11:18 pm ET

Sarah Palin should not give Oprah the time of day. She showed her true colors and I would never watch her show or any of the other biased liberal shows including, Abc, Nbc, Cnn.or OPrah.....

Cool Head   December 4th, 2008 11:18 pm ET

Folks, stop hating on Oprah's cash. One they you may with the lotto a couple hundred times in a row and come close to having what she's got. She's beautiful by the way. She's a real cutie.

Eric   December 4th, 2008 11:18 pm ET

If McCain was black, and Obama was white... who would Oprah have voted for???

I think it's crystal clear that she voted for the candidate that was black... period.

I personally didn't like Obama or McCain... but at least I didn't base my feelings on skin color.

It outta be interesting to see all the "change" that's going to happen with 'Magic Man' in the White House... if he actually gets the chance.

I hope he does.

Phil in Ca   December 4th, 2008 11:16 pm ET

I don't think she snubbed Oprah. Palin had to get back to Alaska and fast. She was informed a idiot was missing from it's village and now the entire state is in a uproar.

Denise   December 4th, 2008 11:14 pm ET

Who cares? Oprah is lucky and it raises the dignity of her show : )

Cool Head   December 4th, 2008 11:14 pm ET

Me leave Oprah alone. Stop judging people and their religion. You have your belief, be happy with it. Stop trying to force people in deciding whether or not to believe in your god. There are many religions in America. You're only stirring up wars and rumours of wars when you try to pit one god against the other. Stop it. Doesn't the Middle East tell you anything? Is that what you want here? If so let the wars begin.

Dan, FL   December 4th, 2008 11:13 pm ET

Oprah is a show-off. She is making money out of American people. Why should Sarah Palin meet her. Oprah is nobody.

Denise Groves   December 4th, 2008 11:13 pm ET

Oprah, be thankful. She is an airhead

Jeff   December 4th, 2008 11:13 pm ET

Richard L. Shearn   December 4th, 2008 11:12 pm ET

I have to respond to CARYLIE....You are a sick twisted individual. Thank GOD you'll be the last generation of senseless hated like that you utter. Maybe you should find another country.

Lewman   December 4th, 2008 11:11 pm ET

This isn't about Oprah. Palin's refusal to go on Oprah is nothing more than Palin playing base politics. Most Evangelicals, which are a huge part of the Republican base, abhor Oprah and her New Age religious views. Many Evangelical refer to Oprah as a "goddess" in a very perjorative sense. IMHO it would not sit well with Palin's Evangelical base for her to gop on Oprah. Palin is smart enough and politically savvy enough to avoid that mistake.

Texas   December 4th, 2008 11:11 pm ET

For those of you who are calling Oprah fat, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. Stop being a hater. You wish you were a billionaire who has as much influence as Oprah does.

Let's embrace change. Contribute something intelligent and added value to the world. Stop the hatred and the ignorance.

Tom   December 4th, 2008 11:11 pm ET

Sarah Palin is a falling star. Oprah's been the most powerful woman in the world for how long now? Sarah Palin is the next Geraldine Ferraro!

TiZ   December 4th, 2008 11:11 pm ET

"Does that mean Oprah Winfrey does not believe in the existance of Jesus Christ on planet earth? or is the inauguration of Obama more important than the birth and death of Jesus Christ here on planet earth?"

I am not an Obama supporter but his inauguration is more important than the birth and death of a character in book that should be shelved in the fiction section of your local library.

Susan - Canada   December 4th, 2008 11:10 pm ET

Can you imagine, a whole hour? Palin would really come across as an even bigger idiot than she already is. And people, get over yourselves, Palin isn't snubbing Oprah, she's avoiding her and I'm sure is quite afraid to sit down with Oprah for a whole hour. But then, she is so full of herself...she seems to think everyone loves her. Especially now, .after that guy winning after she gave a speech (forget his name). Even CNN had a article saying something to the effect, that the race was close, till she came and stumped for him, then he won the election. Boy, can you imagine how big her head must be.

Jeff   December 4th, 2008 11:10 pm ET

You have got to be kidding me? The biggest event ever on the planet earth...come on.

why in the world would oprah want palin   December 4th, 2008 11:10 pm ET

RATINGS people that is why OPRAH wants palin...good for you palin...DON'T GO.......

sharon   December 4th, 2008 11:10 pm ET

Oh, it's me again.

I forgot to say that I voted for John McCain, I watch Fox news, I am an extreme right wing person, I am conservative and will always be, I go to church every Sunday, I believe in God.

I also teach my children and grandchildren that we respect the will of the people and we support what the majority have voted for.

We will watch closely, we hope that he succeeds, we will be pleased if he corrects the economy.

We need to come together as a nation. As I read some of the things that people have written I am ashamed of most of them. Remember a country divided can never succeed or endure.

Lets change our thinking and hope and pray that our country will come out of this catastrophe that has not just been caused by Republicans but by Democrats as well. Lets put our shoulders to the wheel and recapture what our forefathers fought and died for and what our young men are dying for right now.

FREEDOM

Ivan Sanchez   December 4th, 2008 11:09 pm ET

Sarah snubbed Oprah? I'm sure Oprah isn't loosing any sleep over it!
Besides who in the hell is Sarah, she's nothing but a headache! Sarah needs to go back to Alaska and tend to her elected affiars instead of flying all over the country like a idiot!

Sue   December 4th, 2008 11:06 pm ET

Palin is yesterday news and an insult to intelligent, hard-workign women. Why would Oprah want to interview her ? I wouldnt be watching...that screech would give me a almighty migraine. My kids have better command of their English, verbally and written.

Lisa   December 4th, 2008 11:06 pm ET

Oprah is psychobabble?? NO, thats what Sarah Palin is. The woman cant speak a complete sentence to save her life!

some guy   December 4th, 2008 11:06 pm ET

It is interesting how some people are up in arms like she is overlooking Jesus in place for Obama. It just shows that you obviously don't grasp the importance and significance of an African-American being elected for President. I'm not accusing those people of being racist Caucasian-Americans, however you must understand the excitement, vindication, and overall achievement the African-American community must feel about this event in our nations history. These comments some of you are making here are so vile and misinformed that one can only turn the other cheek.

For that guy who says he'll fly his flag half-mast on Obama's inauguration; you're just doing yourself and your nation a great disservice and dishonor. And don't even try to come at me about service and honor because I am a proud and decorated veteran of our great military. You should rethink your reasons for making such a comment, and anyone else making these nasty comments should take a second to really think; not because I 'worship' Obama like so many anti-Obama Americans wrongly accuse many pro-Obama Americans of doing, but because you simply don't understand, and aren't giving yourself a time to understand.

Cindy   December 4th, 2008 11:04 pm ET

Thats because Palin is scared of Oprah. Palin also hasnt been on Meet the Press. She can barely handle softball questions and doesnt want to be seen being grilled because she cant handle it. Proof she has no business has leader of the USA.

Im inspired by Obama. Im confident he will surely do a MUCH better job than Bush and clean up the mess the Republicans have put us in.

Pat in IL   December 4th, 2008 11:02 pm ET

Please, CNN, go back to reporting NEWS. This kind of stuff is best left to the tabloids.

Joe Fattal   December 4th, 2008 11:02 pm ET

First of all what's so great about Oprah. She is a very rich black woman that's about it. As far as Palin, she should have been the turkey for someone on thanksgiving, and Van something should have been talking to a turkey. Both of them were as stupid as the man looking back with a smile beside that slaugther machine. Oprah now wants to join that inauguration party where a black man, or white who cares, unexperienced surrounded himself with very powerful people to do everything, probably take the blame while he sits in the oval office with a cigar in his hand. I think Obama should have hired Oprah as his entertainment secretary, and Palin as his cook.

rcf   December 4th, 2008 10:59 pm ET

I used to like Oprah until she jumped on the O's coat tails. Goodness, if I were Sarah I would steer clear of her too. The only thing she has on her show worth watching is the health advice. I wouldn't walk across the street for the 'event' in January – big deal. There are so many other important issues facing this world. I think both O's need to get their priorities straight in this life...

sharon   December 4th, 2008 10:59 pm ET

It amazes me that people like Oprah have such low self esteem when they talk about this inaguration as being the biggest even in the world's history.

What about landing on the moon? What about the invention of the computer that has literally changed the world?

I support this event. I think it is wonderful. I think it takes down all the cries of people saying they are discreminated against when you see the majority of the people vote in a black president. Maybe the black people didn't realize that most of us don't see color. We see talented, high achieving, diligent people who have worked to what they obtain.

It is not the most important event in the history of the universe. It is a change, for all of us and I hope that everyone appreciates that Obama has been elected by the people of the United States. We are all Americans, perhaps that is what we should call ourselves instead of African Americans, Black American, Native Americans. All of us are products of the old world, I am. But, I was raised by family from Italy, that I am an American.

Tim   December 4th, 2008 10:59 pm ET

Why is CNN trying to get me to choose between two very worthless people?

Sarah Palin is a nutjob fanatic and Oprah is full of herself. The world would be best served by BOTH of them going away

Richard A. Spomer   December 4th, 2008 10:59 pm ET

Opera, it’s historic because a black man has never won the most powerful seat in the United States of America. So for your wanting too glamorize this position is really egotism of your making!

Now let’s just support President-elect Obama, and not rationalize his responsibility to the power of the Presidency. What the President will want is the prayers and support of his cabinet and his family! So leave your Money machine in Chicago ware you came from OK... Thank you very much!

Sincerely,

Richard A. Spomer

Sick of Oprah   December 4th, 2008 10:59 pm ET

I am SO SICK of Oprah... I used to love her show now I don't have a desire to even watch it.... Who cares about Oprah's political views? Is she really that much better than anyone else? I think not. I can't wait for her to get off of her high horse.

Bobby   December 4th, 2008 10:59 pm ET

Why would Palin want to sit down with Oprah? Palin doesn't need her.

Anonymous   December 4th, 2008 10:58 pm ET

So this is more important than the founding of out country? The birth and resurrection of Christ? What a moron. Its sad women all over the world invest so much of their time in such a ignorant and stupid woman.

Karl K   December 4th, 2008 10:57 pm ET

I used to think that the left's whining about Bush was excessive. Then I got a look at the right's whining about Obama and realized that the left was tame in comparison.

T   December 4th, 2008 10:55 pm ET

Is this historic because he has a darker skin color and was born to a midwestern white lady/black Kenyan man? Because he is mulatto? I don’t see anything different over other Presidents that have been elected.

Also, African-American does not = Black! I have plenty of white African friends that came to America, so they are more African-American than most of those that call themselves African-American. Plus, we are all just Americans as soon as we obtain citizenship. The government and media need to stop the use of this term and Mexican-American or any other -American.

Happy Holidays to all.

Clint   December 4th, 2008 10:54 pm ET

"there’s never been a night like this on the planet earth… Nothing can compare to this.” These comments further demonstrate the reality that Oprah Winfrey is a racist. I never celebrated any presidents race when it was equal to mine, even if there ancestors experienced difficulties. Oprah will never be aired in my home again –ever.

Lizzy in CT   December 4th, 2008 10:52 pm ET

Is Oprah Winfrey still on television? Wow. I'd rank her with The View. Two thumbs down.

Carl   December 4th, 2008 10:51 pm ET

Why would Palin give her any amount of time after what she did on her show?

Are you kidding me? Palin is too good for her, She doesn't need an Obama supporter hack to get attention....

EJ   December 4th, 2008 10:51 pm ET

Why is Oprah so important? She is so yesterday. Along with CNN, she's the other media arm of the Democratic party.

Bobby Burns   December 4th, 2008 10:51 pm ET

Why would she , you are a racist........PERIOD

oh, come on   December 4th, 2008 10:50 pm ET

To "me" at 9:59

It is for God and God alone to determine who believes in Him and who does not.

Strictly speaking, Oprah was right. There never has been a night like that in human history. She didn't say that Obama was the Messiah. She said it was a night unique unto itself. Try to put yourself in her shoes – as the decendent of former slaves, it must be incredible to see a black man become the President of a country that used to enslave their race. I can only imagine. I am white.

Please don't give us Christians an even worse name by accusing fellow Christians of false faith.

Cathy, Peoria AZ   December 4th, 2008 10:50 pm ET

SOem of you seem to forget that Oprah stated that neither candidate would be on her show until after the election since she was supporting Obama.
The hateful statements exhibited here tell me this country has learned nothing, we are still more racist than not.

Tom   December 4th, 2008 10:49 pm ET

Typical Liberal, "I'll give you the air time after the election" Just like CNN, NBC..... INSTEAD OF PRESENTING ALL OF THE FACTS AND LETTING YOU MAKE A DECISION, THEY SHOW YOU WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO SEE! CHECK OUT THE BBC NEWS!

Sue   December 4th, 2008 10:48 pm ET

Sarah Palin is old news, she should go back to beauty pagents. Oprah doesn't need her anyways!

Janet -NY   December 4th, 2008 10:48 pm ET

WOW ! Oprah has already forgotten that herself was totally imbroiled in biased opinion during election. I became one of one million to stop
watching and subscribing Oprah show and magazine. It's time for Oprah should price now for it. I respect Sarah Palin is like a huge
energy.

Kneps   December 4th, 2008 10:48 pm ET

Why would she go on Oprah? Oprah is swooning over Obama. I quit watching. Nothing good on there anymore.

cavafaire   December 4th, 2008 10:47 pm ET

I'm so glad CNN gives these whack jobs a place to expound on their right wing opinions and racist attitudes. The venom spewed here is just unbelievable from people who claim to be Christian. Their arrogance is exceeded only by their stupidity. . but the constitution guarantees their right to be stupid and they certainly utilize it..

Republican will rise again!!   December 4th, 2008 10:47 pm ET

I'm so tired of this side show we called an election with the ring leader of the circus walking away with his staged win! America wants to be part of a fake revolution so bad that they jumped on the first bubble gum culture hero and rode his back til the end. I've always been proud of America, so much that I've been serving in our armed forces for 12 years so far. how many of you hippies can say that!?Sadly, I plan on separating in the next few months because I refuse to have a commander in chief that I will not respect and his knee-jerk reaction to pull out of Iraq so his nickelodean audience will attempt to re-elect him in 2012 when they are old enough to vote. I am going to take a hiatus from this country and return when good ole' republicans are back in office and run this country the way it was meant to be! Viva republicans!!!

Greg   December 4th, 2008 10:46 pm ET

Historic.. yes! But to say the world will be different just because Obama has been elected? Give me a break.

The man has no track record. He has been elected on a promise of change (both in IL and now the presidency). Time will tell.

I actually like the man, but I have yet to fall for the hype.

Marie Marshall   December 4th, 2008 10:46 pm ET

I hope Sarah Palin stays off all the shows that were so obnoxious during the election campaign.Hopefully some of these show hosts will catch on that the viewing public is tired of the self important attitude of people that sit on TV and ask other people questions. This is not rocket science people.

Ann   December 4th, 2008 10:46 pm ET

Well Well, Looks like most folks, even on this blog, CAN'T STAND oprah !

GOOD ! Looks like I'm not alone ... THIS is why oprah is wanting SARAH PALIN so badly ! oprah KNOWS it will draw HUGE ratings...ratings oprah DOES NOT DESERVE ~ not now and NOT EVER !

I quit watching about 15 years ago....GLAD I DID !

Buh BYE UNGRATEFUL oprah ! ! !

Democrat for Sarah   December 4th, 2008 10:45 pm ET

I love Sarah!

Bill Bixbie   December 4th, 2008 10:43 pm ET

S, Palin hate Oprah for the fact she was at Obama's campaign rally and not her's and all so she like to be in the spot light in charge and not share it with Oprah show.

i don't know if she don't like Oprah for the fact is a darker skin people some people talk behind close doors there could be more to this all so.

if i had a chose to give a award to most likely people for being a dummy it be S-Palin.she is so clueless what is going on in the world.

Nikki   December 4th, 2008 10:43 pm ET

To Dennis of December 4th,

Oprah has the right think she is the best in the game. Oprah thinks she is great because she has accomplished many achievements in her lifetime such as building a school in Africa and provide a very informative talk show to women. Palin thought that Africa was a country! Her teenage daughter was pregnant! If she can't even manage her family, then how can she manage a country? At least Oprah produces and manages many successful projects. Hilarious!

JIMMIE W BECK   December 4th, 2008 10:42 pm ET

WINDFREY WOULD NOT WANT PALIN ON HER PROGRAM OR TO INTERVIEW PALIN IF JOHN MCCAIN HAD WON THE GENERAL ELECTION.. WINDFREY WOULD BE A BITTER BITTER WOMAN IF OBAMA HAD LOST.

jim   December 4th, 2008 10:39 pm ET

Glad Paln is not granting Oprah an interview. Why would anyone want to get on her show adn continue to make her billions. Yes I feel she is a bit racist and wish that most of her show watchers (which by the way are largely caucasion) would stop watching her garbage. Still funing over the car giveaway several yrs ago that most people then and todsay thnink she gave away 200 cars at her cost,. It was the car manufacture who gave them away and yes the ones who are in front of congress begging for $$$. Oprah did not even have the decency to pay the taxes for the folks who won these cars. I would bet the show made some hefty $$ that day in terms of rating.

maryderricotte   December 4th, 2008 10:39 pm ET

Oprha extended the invitation because she said she would, If Sarah palindoes not apear than Oprah can adleast say she did invite her. As for how happy one can be about the inaugeration is her joy.I share joy. I read alot of real nasty things said about Oprah, which I don't think she deserves, and if Sarah palin does not want the invitation just don't take it. Really it doesn't matter. But I will say its time for sarah Palin to go home.

JC   December 4th, 2008 10:37 pm ET

Oprah gave up her women-focused agenda for a black-focused agenda. She will survive, but won't be as big as she was before. I would applaud Palin for snubbing Oprah. When you get involved in politics you have to realize the backlash. Oprah supposed the black candidate (Obama) over the woman candidate (Hillary). It is clear what is her agenda.

Mike W   December 4th, 2008 10:37 pm ET

Ohio Lady   December 4th, 2008 10:36 pm ET

Please, no more Palin! Does she really think she could pick a cabinet like Obama has done? Only the dumb-dumbs in America and men who don't necessary think with their heads...are turned on by Palin. The rest of us thank God we have a Christian President with some brains for a change. She really thinks she is better than all the experienced Republicans out there? Who is she kidding? Just because she can draw a crowd....so can Brittany Spears. Does that mean she should be President? Is she debates Obama in 2012, she won't get away with lies like she did in this campagin! Don't you all like the way he is palling around with terrorists? What a liar!!! Surely the Republican party has something smarter than this????

Carra   December 4th, 2008 10:36 pm ET

Jane in Atlanta..... I will never give Palin the time of day. I would never give her any respect period. Of course shes got a big crowd turn out. Shes a celebrity. Look how people follow every single world Brittney Spears says. People like celebrity. Thank God I dont live in Georgia

Nikki   December 4th, 2008 10:36 pm ET

Oprah hates Palin and in defense, Palin snubs Oprah. Not only does Oprah hate her, but the rest of America hates her as well. Palin should stop doing these random interviews, and stop trying to be in the spotlight. Her five minutes of fame are over. No one cares anymore! Plus, I have no clue why McCain chose her as a candidate... That is the worst choice that a presidential candidate could ever make.

D.Tin   December 4th, 2008 10:35 pm ET

I am no fan of Sarah Palin but do you guys really think Oprah wanted her on her show???? way to go Sarah for giving her a way out!!!..

Arizonan for Obama/Biden   December 4th, 2008 10:35 pm ET

April yes you are mistaken, Oprah did not talk to Obama when he was a candidate but soon after he announced his candidacy (something like a week later) so please before you start with your ignorant anit-Americanism that is often spewed from the right please get your fact straight or is that to hard?

juggernaut   December 4th, 2008 10:34 pm ET

Palin is smart to keep away from Oprah. The queen of talk will only corner her on her marital affair and teenage pregnancy. These things are better left alone. :)

Carra   December 4th, 2008 10:32 pm ET

Carylie your ignorance is showing. President Elect Obama is ten times more intelligent than you sweetie

Carra   December 4th, 2008 10:31 pm ET

Of course Palin has appeared on Greta and Huckabee they are right wing Fox news people........... I dont watch Palin on any interview period. I can only take her hypocrisy and air brain for no more than two minutes at a time

Oprah endorsed Obama. there is no reason for Palin to appear on her show. I Like Oprahs show though I work too much to watch it much. I wont waste my time on Palin on any station she opens her silly mouth on

Ann   December 4th, 2008 10:30 pm ET

WHINE WHINE!

oprah you had your chance...why the Hell should Sarah Palin go on your show just to help you boost your SORRY ratings!?

oprah FORGOT WHO got her where she is today ... WOMEN ! ! !

Now Women are not watching her show because she couldn't be a "fair and balanced" journalist ! OH WELL, oprah, SNOOZE you LOSE! WE hope you lose your show !

Buh BYE !!

Oprah puke   December 4th, 2008 10:30 pm ET

That's the worst makeup job I've seen in a while. Oprah and the rich liberals out in California are the reason Obama got elected. Talk about a president for sale. I wish him luck though. The country needs to get back on track and lead the world out of this mess.

Paul   December 4th, 2008 10:29 pm ET

It's unfortunate to read a lot of negative postings about one of America most beloved and adored personalities. Ms. Winfrey endorsed President-elect Obama in 2006 during her appearance on Larry King Live. Shortly after that, she made the decision not to allow any of the candidates on her show until after the election. Governor Palin selection as VP candidate did not change that and should not have changed the decision because Ms. Winfrey is a woman of her words. And now the election is over, Governor Palin is invited to Oprah Show. It's now up to Governor Palin if she wants to come to the show. And by the way, Ms. Winfrey does not need Governor Palin or any of us, remember she is a Billionaire.

Secondly, when Ms. Winfrey said that "there are not even words to talk about what this night means,” and "there’s never been a night like this on the planet earth… Nothing can compare to this,” what she meant was that the inuaguration night is going to be historic, monumental and ground-breaking. She spoke from an African American perspective. Some of us who are whites, need to sometimes put ourselves in non-white people's shoes instead of critizing them.

May God bless America and our New President. Happy Holidays!

Sue in MI   December 4th, 2008 10:29 pm ET

Consider yourself lucky Oprah. She can't complete an intelligent sentence, let alone carry on a discussion.

By the way, I couldn't care less whether or not someone is on Oprah. I've watched it a couple of times, but it's simply pap and I've got better ways to use my time than to blow it listening to the "nuggets of wisdom" that come out of her show.

As for Palin not going on Oprah's show, that's her decision to make and I think it's the right one. Why even REMOTELY trust Oprah to be objective? She's a bully on her set, pure and simple. And hypocritical to boot. I think if you did a survey you'd find that Oprah is WAY less influential than many of you think.

Robert   December 4th, 2008 10:26 pm ET

I guess that's what Oprah gets for picking sides during the election. Everyone knew who she wanted, so maybe she and her ratings can go fly a kite.

Eliza   December 4th, 2008 10:26 pm ET

Sarah Palin rocks! She has better things to do than spend time with a depressed and negative has-been like Oprah.

Lauren   December 4th, 2008 10:25 pm ET

First,
Oprah snubbed every other candidate when the campaigns were going on ,,, Except Obama.
So Sarah, love her or hate her, has every right to tell Oprah to pound salt.

As far as her comments about never seen a night like this. It shows her true racist colors. Obama being elected President is NOTHING compared to when JFK was shot, men landed on the moon, Martin Luther King was killed.
I am not an overyl religious man, but Jesus walked the Earth way before Obama did. ( I am suprised Obama has not been compared to him yet )

Her comments reflect nothing more than racism. And I wish someone would call her on it on her show.
There are WAY more important night and events than Obamas ceremony. What about Rosalee Parks. Did she not pave the way long before Obama was even born?
Sorry Oprah, but Obama getting elected and sworn in in NOT the best thign that has ever happened in the world. And it not the best thing to ever happen to the African Amercican community. And neither are you Oprah, I do not care how great you think you are.

FloJo   December 4th, 2008 10:25 pm ET

Sarah Palin chose to talk to journalist instead of seeking to appear on a "just us girls" show?
I guess finally, in Oprah's world it is ALL ABOUT ME....pathetic.

tys   December 4th, 2008 10:23 pm ET

To the person named "Carylie" you are so senseless and ignorant with your comments. Very uneducated. If Oprah wanted to have children, she can have as many as she wanted but regardles she is still a mother to many.

Carylie, you must be a miserable human being. God will judge you.

Harpo   December 4th, 2008 10:23 pm ET

Soccer Nana, this that you wrote is not true, not even close to being true:

"Don't worry about it Oprah; you have never had "candidates" who are actually in the running for public offices on your show before and there was no need to change your rules for Palin. It is her loss, not yours."

Oprahs has had candiates on her show during elections over the years. This year she refused to have McCain or Palin on, and then made public appearances campaiging for Obama.

And now she's beinig a cry baby because Palin won't come on her show. Ha! What an ego Oprah has!

Bob   December 4th, 2008 10:22 pm ET

To Godluvr, who said "Give the Prince of Peace a chance to Change your hearts, and make you feel good again!"

Wow. And you think some posters are reading too much into OPRAH'S words?

News Flash, Folks. Obama is a man. He's not even in office yet. He's done NOTHING. I hope he does well, but many of you are deifying him and it's really really really sad and pathetic. He puts his pants on one leg at a time, folks.

What's even MORE sad is how many of you that have been uttering such nonsense as "Impeach Bush", "Bush is a war criminal", etc. will have ZERO, repeat ZERO tolerance for anyone criticizing Obama. And the LAST thing YOU will ever do is find fault with him. It's really sad.

David in Seattle   December 4th, 2008 10:21 pm ET

Oprah Winfrey is not the collective voice of the American Citizenry.It is disgusting to think a celebrity fawning network,ooppss,excuse me NEWS outlet like CNN considers this NEWS. Ms Palin has the right NOT to grace Ms Winfrey with her presence.Why don't you people stick to news instead of celebrity non sense?

jennifer Getman   December 4th, 2008 10:18 pm ET

Shows good judgement on Palin's part now that she's free to call her own shots!

Mark   December 4th, 2008 10:18 pm ET

COME ON NOWWWW People!!

Sarah Palin doesn't deserve to be within 100 miles of an Oprah stage or 1000 miles of the White House.....

She is a LOSER, and a sore one at that.

Oh! calm down Oprah....T
"There’s never been a night like this on the planet earth" !!!!

I guess she forgot Nelson Mandela who became president after 30 years in prison...I don't think Obama is that caliber...so take a breath Oprah and calm down@@@

Anthony   December 4th, 2008 10:12 pm ET

This woman (Palin) is still relevant? Doesnt our country have more important things to worry about then a second place beauty queen/vicepresident?

Valerie Gage   December 4th, 2008 10:12 pm ET

You go Oprah!!!!!! I am so happy to hear that she will have the honor of taping her show in D.C. I just pray that she will be around doing her thing for a long time. She brings out the best in what a show should be about. She doesn't have to have Palin on if she is trying to act as if she is all that and a bag of chips. To be honest she had her 4 months of fame, and she can just go back to shooting moose, and running her little town.

I love and admire Oprah for all of her good work in getting good news and shows out.

It's just a TV show people,who cares who goes on there or who doesn't the world want come to an end. Did i miss something is it ratings week or is it mandatory you have to appear on Oprah's show if she ask or invites you. It just amazes me the things people get upset about. People need to get a life.

tess   December 4th, 2008 10:10 pm ET

sarah can talk to whomever she wants or not and the media will find fault with either decision so she should just go with the ones who wil be fair!

Catherine Kayser   December 4th, 2008 10:10 pm ET

Why would Palin want to appear on Oprah's show now? Oprah snubbed her by not inviting her on the show during the campaign. Oprah also didn't have Hillary Clinton on her show either – from the beginning she made it clear she only wanted to promote Obama, which was her right to do. Oprah, however, should expect some backlash from Palin and the public. Not all of us want our politics to be dictated to us by celebrities. Some of us prefer to think for ourselves and consider celebrity endorsements a contrary indicator.

Dood   December 4th, 2008 10:09 pm ET

Obama is just another politician. People that believe he is "special" are dupes.

Palin will still be around in 2012 after Obama has become a joke. We'll see who has the last laugh, Miss Oprah.

Trudy   December 4th, 2008 10:08 pm ET

Let's see......Sarah's hot and Oprah is CERTAINLY not!

"There’s never been a night like this on the planet earth."
Really?
I like how Linus (A Charlie Brown Christmas) describes another night long ago...
And the angel said to them, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy that will be for all people. For unto you is born this dayin the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord."
There's never been a night like THAT on the planet earth. : >

Jackie1922   December 4th, 2008 10:07 pm ET

Gee, lets see. Everyone of those mentioned hosts talked to her before the election and your the only who didn't. Now she'll speak to everyone but you. Go figure. I like you Oprah, but you're not God.

Renee   December 4th, 2008 10:07 pm ET

Gov. Palin should go on Oprah. If she really desires a future in higher politics, facing those that agree with you and don't is important. This is what all potential President's will face (as well as most Politicians). She is tougher than I thought. She should face this situation and show that she has confidence.

ck   December 4th, 2008 10:07 pm ET

Oprah is as dillusional as the guests on her show!!

ROFL Oprah is no journalist!

Talia   December 4th, 2008 10:06 pm ET

Thank you, Angie! Having grown up Baptist, I no longer claim any affiliation with a particular denomination. Unfortunately, it's those who claim their religious affiliation and Godly morals that seem to spread the most hate, bigotry and narrow-minded views.

Obama has been elected President. It's a fact. People need to deal with it. I like Sarah Palin, but not as a possible President, at least not right now.

Who cares if Oprah didn't have her on her show back during the campaign? Honestly, it was probably a blessing for McCain's party to not have her talking about issues she wasn't fully capable of discussing. Energy? She's all over it. Foreign policy? Not so much.

Cary   December 4th, 2008 10:05 pm ET

Who snubbed who. Oprah played her card early and Palin had every right to play hers.

Soccer Nana   December 4th, 2008 10:04 pm ET

Hey People, Oprah gave HER opinion; that is how SHE feels!! She feels that for her to live and see a black man become president of the United States of America is nothing short of a miracle. He won with many, many white, black, asian, latino votes. That tremendous feeling she possesses regarding this historic event is HER PERSONAL feelings that she verbally expressed.

DwayneL   December 4th, 2008 10:02 pm ET

I'm glad she didn't go on her Oprah's show and hope she never does. She's better than that and Oprah doesn't deserve to have her on her stupid show.

johnny   December 4th, 2008 10:01 pm ET

Palin is getting way too much airtime. Don't taser me, bro.

wendy   December 4th, 2008 10:00 pm ET

Nobody really cares to see more of Palin making a fool of herself except the fools who want soap opera cartoon characters to live vicariously thru and cant focus on something like a real issue and select someone of substance to lead our country. I want to learn more and more about Obama who is our President now ...not a hasbeen ditzy like Palin.

As for those who attack Opra over this, it must be hard to see a wildly successful, rich, accomplished, bright and beloved figure like Opra who has succeeded despite having had plenty of challenges AND see Obama as President, despite so many not thinking he could possibly win in the face of prejudice and fear and competing against better known politicians..
Get over it. Cream rises to the top. Both of these Americans are outstanding. We should be proud of what Americans can do and overcome to get where they are. We should admire their accomplishments. We who have not had to deal with racial prejudice or being raised by a single parent or overcome what they have should not belittle them .

me   December 4th, 2008 9:59 pm ET

“There are not even words to talk about what this night means,” Oprah said of Obama's inauguration. “Everybody keeps using the word historic — there’s never been a night like this on the planet earth… Nothing can compare to this.”

Does that mean Oprah Winfrey does not believe in the existance of Jesus Christ on planet earth? or is the inauguration of Obama more important than the birth and death of Jesus Christ here on planet earth?

carylie   December 4th, 2008 9:58 pm ET

just look at the picture....oprah is so GROSS and fat and childless and loveless......another whitey hater, just like ozombo. they both are puke inducing cretins. On 1/20/09 I will fly my HUGE American flag unside down at half mast as a signal of distress for America.

Mike, Syracuse NY   December 4th, 2008 9:57 pm ET

The odds that Oprah would do a respectful interview are near zero. Why sign up for another leftist lynching like The View pulled on McCain?

DE   December 4th, 2008 9:56 pm ET

Why would Sarah Palin want to talk to an obvious racist Oprah? Her and BHO are of the same mold, all blow and no go. In her interview with Obama, Oprah did everything but give him a Lewinsky on television.

Smartguy   December 4th, 2008 9:56 pm ET

If that's true Jim then the last 43 Presidents have won because of their skin color also???

The Rector   December 4th, 2008 9:55 pm ET

to annie in atlanta,

Steve has as much right to say stupid things as you do. The only difference is he has a good point, every time someone pushes the envelope of "normality" they are setting themselves up to be knocked down. If Obama goes unmolested that will be truley historical, and you requesting that CNN not extend Steves first amendment rights to him won't change what is almost inevadable. There have already been two plots to harm this man and he isn't even president yet, I know they were just a bunch of morons who were totaly inept, but thats a good thing for Michelle and the girls. This is still America and we still have the right to say pretty much anything we like, so please dont forget that if Steve looses that right you will too.

Dennis   December 4th, 2008 9:55 pm ET

Oprah is just psycobabble. Why does the world think she's great? I will never get it. Good for you Sarah!

Godluvr   December 4th, 2008 9:55 pm ET

Racist people always identify themselves. Everytime there is an article about our new president or another black person, in this case; Oprah, they crawl out of their bigotrous holes, and start eating up the woodwork!

Give the Prince of Peace a chance to Change your hearts, and make you feel good again!

Just like First Lady-E Michelle's statement about being 'proud of her country for the first time' was misinterpreted, so some of you are trying to light a match under Oprah's words. Be gone you noxious scallions! Stop trying to be holier than God, and raising your righteous indignations!

We love and supported President-Elect Obama for the person he is, the character and integrity he portrays, and his genuine desire to bring change to our country (Issues anyone?) We know who the real God is! Do you?

Stop hiding behind your racism, and go back to Fox with your mess!

We will continue to beat you down with intelligent rhetoric over here, because ignoring you won't make you go away!

Bev   December 4th, 2008 9:54 pm ET

Dear Oprah,
Why oh why would you want to have Palin on your show? It can't be to engage in an intelligent coversation – because that won't happen, so it must be solely for ratings. Shame on you for being a part of this Palin side show. We are ALL TIRED OF HER, and want her to just find the fastest toboggan back to Alaska.

WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL. Who in the hades is OPRAH. What does she mean to the general rule of the United State government. A WOMAN WHO BUILDS A NEW SCHOOL WHICH IS GREAT THEN IS SO INCOMPENENT SHE HIRES CHILD MOLESTERS TO TEACH THERE. Yes Gov. Palin needs to avoid her on a ten-foot pole. So she gave OBAMA millions and Said I ENDORSE HIM.So what so did the fleerer FROM Chappicnick who ran home drunk while his pregnant mistress drown. NO SHE DOES NOT HAVE TO MEET WITH OPRAH. WHO IS OPRAH? Nothing but someone we used to know, REGRETTABLY.

Maggie SC   December 4th, 2008 9:52 pm ET

Oprah was incorrect to say: "Everybody keeps using the word historic — there’s never been a night like this on the planet earth… Nothing can compare to this.”" Oprah must not know about the Bible and the following :
’He prepared a nation. He prepared a kingdom and a king.
God prepared for Bible and what it says about His Son, Jesus. The bible states that : Luke 2: Verse 11, ‘‘For unto you is born this day
in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ
the Lord.’ " He did not say I give you Obama. Not anything that has ever happened nor will ever happen to beat the night Jesus Christ, only Son of God was born into this sinful world not to make history althought He did, not to make oprah's show better but to better mankind. May you remember this instead ot the spotlight on a human man whose spotlight will dim but Jesus' never will dim throughout the history of this ungodly world of mankind.

Angie   December 4th, 2008 9:50 pm ET

I've been a Baptist Christian all my life and I must say........these holier-than-thou, hypocritical, right-wing, nutballs are what's wrong with this country. NO ONE knows for certain what the afterlife will bring...it's a BELIEF! We believe in our God, the same way, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, etc. believe in theirs! Oprah not having Palin on her show has NOTHING to do with God! Get over yourselves!

Paul Lennon   December 4th, 2008 9:50 pm ET

What a same, Winfrey didn't get her way as usual.
I think Palin did right by Winfrey

jmf   December 4th, 2008 9:49 pm ET

Hey Carole, Unfortunately for you, Sarah Palin does have brains. She's smart enough to be able to understand Oprah's selfish motivations and not oblige them.

Jane, Atlanta   December 4th, 2008 9:49 pm ET

For all the folks who have never actually been in a room with Sarah Palin or spoke with her let me tell you....she was in Duluth, GA on behalf of Chambliss, and most folks were there to see her because when she came in the crowd went crazy and folks waited after just to have her sign their memo.....so she must have something going for her...never mind the oil in her back yard?....thankfully he won and can say she made a difference in her visit to GA.

David   December 4th, 2008 9:48 pm ET

Really? The most historic event on earth? Rather grandiose thinking for someone who helped promote incompetence. Oprah and those like her cheer this self-designated "historic" event. Constantly comparing "that one" to Lincoln and MLK jr. only serves to reinforce for the rest of us, as we stand ready to cheer when history repeats itself.

Tyrone IL   December 4th, 2008 9:48 pm ET

Who can blame Sarah Palin? Oprah made it clear from the beginning that she was a Sarah Palin hater. Oprah is yet another ego-inflated celebrity who thinks her fame is enough to influence simple-minded people to vote the way she wants them to.

Voter   December 4th, 2008 9:48 pm ET

Ted   December 4th, 2008 9:47 pm ET

Ms Winfrey is a self-serving demigod, and believes that everyone should treat her as such. Besides Ms Palin, there have been several other notable figures who refuse to go on her show and to give her credability. Since she stands for everything, she actually stands for nothing. Whether liberal or conservative, it is time that we 'real' people just ignore those such as Ms Winfrey and hope that they'll go away and not try to impose their ideas on the rest of us.

Poor Oprah! Imagine the self acclaimed "Queen of Daytime" being snubbed.....Who cares what Oprah thinks. She's out to boost her own ratings.

Watchbird   December 4th, 2008 9:45 pm ET

I expect that the Governor has a large back-log of state business to attend to now in this period of crisis and might not be able to justify the time and afford the extra personal staff required to prepare for a hostile public interview.

April   December 4th, 2008 9:45 pm ET

So Oprah did not want to talk to Palin before election because according to Oprah she did not want to talk to candidates while election was going on. Right? Well, someone remind Oprah that she did talk to "Obama, the Clown", on her talk show when he was a candidate. Wasn't that so, or I'm I making it up? She did not talk to Hillary and Palin, both women and Oprah is a woman. Is she not? Or I'm I mistaken again? Someone tell me what is wrong with this picture please? This woman call Oprah, now wants to talk to us women? What in God's name for? Had she lost her manly man mind? "REMEMBER WHAT GOES UP, WILL SURE COME DOWN." Palin and women, please stay away. SHE DEFINITELY IS NOT ONE OF US. SHE CAN OWN EVERYTHING SHE WANTS IN THIS WORLD, BUT ONE THING SHE CANNOT OWN "GOD'S KINGDOM." ISN'T THAT ASHAME?

Joanna   December 4th, 2008 9:44 pm ET

Poor, poor Oprah. Somebody, who is nobody, won't appear on her show. For once, I admire Sarah Palin. She won't go to any lengths to appear on TV. Everyone knows Oprah is a manipulator, and will never never get her honour back or her audience!!!

REPUBLICAN FOR OBAMA   December 4th, 2008 9:44 pm ET

Palin is scared to come anywhere close to an intelligent woman like Oprah! I am hoping that Oprah will not talk to palin because that will be one show I have to miss...i cannot tolerate that stupid woman's screeechy voice!
Oh yes, no night like the inaguration night! History being created is an understatement and i love Obama too

Lisa   December 4th, 2008 9:44 pm ET

We are acting like Oprah is some kind of royalty and someone should be honored to be on her show. Personally, I don't care to hear about either one of them. We need to move forward and focus on the state of our country and not two women that aren't going to help us during this time. It is sad this even makes news. Again, the media has failed by bringing us pointless news.

Paul   December 4th, 2008 9:44 pm ET

If you want to be the leader of the country, you should learn how to sit down and talk to people (Oprah) you don't like.

deb   December 4th, 2008 9:43 pm ET

this has nothing to do with politics, but did anyone see the clip on Campbell brown tonight of the dog pulling the other dog out of the street ? I just want to know if the dog that was hit is ok ?

Jane, Atlanta   December 4th, 2008 9:43 pm ET

Just an added note....have you ever been to Alaska? Have you actually ever talked to anyone in that great state? Maybe since they sit on alot of oil reserves that would provide our country some much needed independence from the evil people who hate us..
you would show more respect for a state that could be Russian, but is American....I really don't think ALL AMERICANS REALIZE HOW IMPORTANT ALASKA IS TO US AND THE FACT THEIR GOVERNOR GETS THE OIL ISSUE IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT...
WAKE UP AMERICA......I WISH OBAMA WELL FOR THE SAKE OF MY FAMILY'S SAFETY AND OUR COUNTRY, BUT I DO RECOGNIZE OUR IGNORANCE AND DISRESPECT FOR A STATE THAT COULD PROVIDE US SOME INDEPENDENCE AND OPRAH SHOULD SHOW THAT AND BE RESPECTFUL...THIS ISN'T ABOUT RACE...MY GOD HE IS BOTH BLACK AND WHITE WHY CAN'T PEOPLE REALIZE THAT...

Ken   December 4th, 2008 9:43 pm ET

Oprah needs to get a life! Who does she think that she is? If I were Palin, I would not give Oprah the time of day! Oprah thinks that she is so special, well, to me, she is no better than anyone else.

Oprah, give it a break and stay to your own self interests.

Hillary   December 4th, 2008 9:43 pm ET

I'm so glad to be WHITE and not an ignorant, racist CRACKER! CLEARLY there is a difference!

Cindy   December 4th, 2008 9:43 pm ET

I made a vow last week to not click on any more stories about Palin-I decided that the only way she will disappear is if people stop showing interest in her bone-headed actions and antics. So I broke my promise today by looking to see why she won't appear on Oprah. My television viewing time is limited, and I certainly would not waste 10 minutes of my day watching her.

Merle   December 4th, 2008 9:43 pm ET

Mike from Carolina   December 4th, 2008 9:42 pm ET

I'd love to read Rock's definition of conservative and the "Believer's" definition of liberal. It seems a few of you are big into labels and name calling which indicates an inability to intelligently describe whatever it is you're suggesting. Another writter called BO a criminal. What crime would that be . . . . being black, articulate and elected,maybe? Those are crimes indeed to the remnants of our racist's Jim Crow era. Oh, and don't forget Dr. Larry's post wherein he told us what BO is thinking. No real wonder. Limbaugh and Hannity, etc. do that all the time; i.e.
make up some ridiculous idea and say that Obama must think this or that. If you want to know what Obama thinks, go to his web site. All of his speeches are there along with specific outlines of his positions. You only need Hannity and Company if your'e looking for something untrue and negative.

Dr. Larry dude if you are trying to sound educated in your comments you are only making a fool of yourself. And using the race card after this historic election really looks shallow and empty minded.

Xavierism   December 4th, 2008 9:39 pm ET

I would lose respect for Palin if she agreed to do Oprah's show. Since the election, I've lost respect for Oprah. Palin has the right to choose which shows she does and doesn't do. Ya betcha!

gp   December 4th, 2008 9:39 pm ET

I don't believe Sarah can handle the intelligent questions, she wouldn't know how to respond to them. She would look like a deer in headlights or she would probably tell Oprah, “I’m not going to respond to those questions”

Move on Oprah, you don't need that dimwit.

Neutralizer   December 4th, 2008 9:38 pm ET

You folks are funny!!! None of you know Alaska, Alaska is the RICHEST STATE of the Union. That's the ONLY state of the Union every man, woman and child received dividend from their oil company annually. Under the governorship of Sarah Palin, Alaska now has a surplus of around $10 billion. The people of Alaska are not poor like you folks, you drive a car, people in Alaska fly their own airplane. You all might cry when you reach Alaska, your 25 bucks won't buy you a halfway decent dinner. Mcdonalds will cost you an arm and a leg. Palin is very smart and uses common sense, she is more action than talk, while a lot of you here are more talk than action. I bet some of you here are on welfare or unemployed.

About Oprah, she can take the road to Timbuktu! Yeah she do a lot of charities, that is 100% TAX DEDUCTIBLE, she ain't doin' it for nuttin'. A lot of you must not be filing your annual taxes, you don't know that part.

kathy   December 4th, 2008 9:38 pm ET

Oprah, I would not even waste my time on Sarah Palin.
She needs to go home where she belongs and tend to
her family and Alaska. I can't stand her winey, annoying voice
so please don't subject us to having to watch her on your show.
Thank You!!!

OK...does Oprah need Palin?! Heck no!!!!!!!!! Palin's 5 minutes of fame is up...she is only influential to half of the republican party...And did i mention that the republican party identifies with about 30% of Americans? So Palin continues to irrelevant!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jane, Atlanta   December 4th, 2008 9:36 pm ET

You know if the Messiah who by the way is BIRACIAL...seems most forget that....he apparently is just African American because he looks more African...I don't care about that....but Oprah was extremely biased as everyone against Sarah Palin and I cannot for the life of me understand....
Okay Obama has broken records and that is amazing and fine..but so has Sarah Palin..who gave respect to Geraldine and Hillary....and therefore is deserving of a woman who has accomplished the lst Republican VP nod....that in itself is history...but Obama mania has created such a facade that noone else is important....well you know what...he really hasn't actually done anything of importance except get elected...no disrespect but Oprah has not been as respectful for the women as I would have appreciated her to be..instead she has shown, like so many, a bias towards anyone who doesn't agree with their political aspirations....guess what all of you...Bush allowed this to happen because HE KEPT US SAFE FOR ALL THESE YEARS...SHOW SOME RESPECT...YOU CAN TALK THE TALK BUT YOU KNOW SARAH PALIN IS A TRUE AMERICAN...IF YOU WOULD JUST LISTEN AND UNDERSTAND THAT HER ACCOMPLISHMENTS ARE THE AMERICAN DREAM TOO....

Terri   December 4th, 2008 9:34 pm ET

Mrs. Palin should snub her Who does she think she is. I'm a Obama supporter but for Ms. Winfrey not to have her on her show simply because she is a republican is racial. She wasn't welcome prior to the race but now she is. I think it is very narrow-minded. Ms. Winfrey should get off of her high horse.

Midge from Ohio   December 4th, 2008 9:34 pm ET

Good for Palin!

Bill   December 4th, 2008 9:33 pm ET

Oprah is disappointed she has been "dissed" by Palin. Apparently, Palin is more influential than Oprah.

In my opinion, Oprah is the leader of the ignorant. She doesn't even appear on the intelligence radar. Why would Palin want to appear on Oprah? She can get more coverage elsewhere. Oprah is just disappointed the white lady is taking too much of "her" coverage. Palin gets more coverage in one hour than Oprah gets all week when she wants it.

RayinIN   December 4th, 2008 9:32 pm ET

Hey Jeff...try some Zoloft or something man.

LEAD FREAK   December 4th, 2008 9:32 pm ET

Palin should snub Oprah – screw that fugly beast . She blatantly admits to voting for obama only b/c of his skin color to make history......but we who voted on issues are racist??? Trust me, all the money in the world won't buy oprah a loving husband, five kids and pride. I think Palin was VERY inexperienced, but what the heck is obama?? Oh yeah, he is a friggin anti-American coke snorting muslim loving, whitey hating tard.

MK   December 4th, 2008 9:32 pm ET

OPRAH....You don't need Granny Palin!

DAVE IN CA   December 4th, 2008 9:32 pm ET

good for palin to snub the queen b...... she will lower her ratings with her dive into politics and what will she do if the supreme court decides to hear the case calling for obama's origional birth certificate? good thing she is rich and can afford to waste her money...

bitter_in_pa   December 4th, 2008 9:31 pm ET

Palin is a nobody. Lets talk about Hillary... and her huge campaign debt and the senate campaign contributions she received from tax felon Marc Rich and any other skeletons in her closet ( A very large closet indeed ) that should make her inelligible to be confirmed to a cabinet position.

Paul   December 4th, 2008 9:31 pm ET

It's unfortunate to read a lot of negative postings about one of America most beloved and adored personalities. Ms. Winfrey endorsed President-elect Obama in 2006 during her appearance on Larry King Live. Shortly after that, she made the decision not to allow any of the candidates on her show until after the election. Governor Palin selection as VP candidate did not change that and should not have changed the decision because Ms. Winfrey is a woman of her words. And now the election is over, Governor Palin is invited to Oprah Show. Is now up to Governor Palin if she wants to come to the show. And by the way, Ms. Winfrey does not need Governor Palin or any of us, remember she is a Billionaire.

Secondly, when Ms. Winfrey said that "there are not even words to talk about what this night means,” and "there’s never been a night like this on the planet earth… Nothing can compare to this,” what she meant was that the inuaguration night is going to be historic, monumental and ground-breaking. She spoke from an African American perspective. Some of us who are whites, need to sometimes put ourselves in non-white people's shoes instead of critizing them.

May God bless America and our New President. Happy Holidays!

SUE   December 4th, 2008 9:30 pm ET

GOOD FOR SARA! SHE CERTAINLY OWES OPRAH WINFREY NOTHING. WAAAAAAY TO MUCH IS BEING MADE ABOUT THE "ANNOINTED ONE"..........SEEMS RACIST TOO ME, REVERSE RACISM.

miguel   December 4th, 2008 9:30 pm ET

Cheer up, everyone. Oprah is a nice, bright woman who has done lots of good things. I've never watched her show (I have a job), but I do not dislike her. Palin is also a nice, bright woman who has accomplished many things. I wouldn't vote for her for President (even though I'm a republican), but I don't dislike her.

They both exaggerate about Obama. He is not as bad as Palin suggested nor as wonderful as Oprah thinks.

But do try to be civil.

Shannon   December 4th, 2008 9:30 pm ET

Oprah used her power to make pathetic people who can't think for themselves vote for Obama. She could have been fair, and had both sides on her show during the election process. She didn't do that, she told her viewers to vote for Obama, and pathetically they did. What kind of person votes for President based on what Oprah says. How uninformed can you be. I agree with Sarah Palin on nothing, but her decision to ignore Oprah seems like a good one to me.

JLH   December 4th, 2008 9:29 pm ET

I don't understand why Oprah would want Palin on her show. Palin is NOT an "every woman". She only represents the EXTREME wing-nut, narrow-minded, racist, ill-informed, sexist, bigoted won't accept responsibility for their failures, imploding GOP! Good riddance Sarah Palin!!!

Matt, GA   December 4th, 2008 9:29 pm ET

I think the only reason Palin is still in the news is because wolves go for the kill when they know an animal is wounded and bleeding (i.e. Palin's political prospects). I don't know much about Oprah, so I have nothing valuable to contribute to that part of the conversation, except for the ridiculous comment at the end about this being the most amazing thing to happen . . .ever. She's either high, delusional, or sleeping with the Big Oh, oh, oh . . .

Oprah Fan   December 4th, 2008 9:27 pm ET

Seriously, does anyone care what Oprah think?

If So, why?

Dilligaf   December 4th, 2008 9:27 pm ET

Why didn't Queen Oprah have her on her show BEFORE the election was over? We all know why. Palin should ignore her now. Bow down in front of the Great Oprah? Forget that.

BB   December 4th, 2008 9:27 pm ET

Jeff, take a pill man. Relax.

JO   December 4th, 2008 9:27 pm ET

All you dems talk about Pallin and her speeches ... ever tried to count the 'ums' when THE GREAT OBAMA speaks without a script in front of him? Quite an orator ... oh yah !!

BB   December 4th, 2008 9:25 pm ET

She should only be booked onto an episode of older or overworked moms or something like that. As far as being a politico, she has a LOT of homework to do before she is ready to face the media for a real interview. Especially in light of how her 'practice' interviews have gone. What a joke.

Rob   December 4th, 2008 9:25 pm ET

Ah, poor poor lil O.
I'm sure it's not the first time someone exposed her to common sense. Opy doesn't deserve to be in her company. She had her chance to bring in the biggest newsmaker in a decade and she didn't.
You make your bed, you lay in it.

you are a moron.

anthony brown   December 4th, 2008 9:22 pm ET

I'm glad Sarah didn't go on Oprah. She wanted to during the campaign but Oprah refused because she was in the tank for Obama. Now that Sarah Palin is even more popular everyone is begging for her. Oprah you missed your chance...serves you right.

Joel in San Clemente   December 4th, 2008 9:22 pm ET

Serious? Why would you want her? To rub it in her face? I'd say act your age, but you might die, you old hack!

Way to go Sarah   December 4th, 2008 9:21 pm ET

Sarah – you should snub Oprah ... I used to be a big fan of hers ... no longer! AND I'm a Democrat! Oprah has crossed the line too many times.

HowardD   December 4th, 2008 9:21 pm ET

From a purely business standpoint, Oprah has managed to package and market the Southern Mammy schtick to millions of viewers who tune in for a bossom hug of empathy. I find it offensive that she perpetuates a gross stereotype, yet continually sells it as advice we all need. Unfortunate our culture buys into her nonsense. Allow Obama to govern and Palin to challenge public thought without her involvement.

CJ   December 4th, 2008 9:20 pm ET

Listen, I'm not a Palin fan. But some of you haters have to settle down. My wife and I both work and have a tough enough time making ends meet. I give Palin credit. Like her or not, she is a successful Governor and being a Governor can't be an easy job (even in Alaska). I honestly don't think she is stupid. In fact, I'd say she's ambitious and smart.. Just was not at all ready to step onto the national stage. Her biggest mistake was accepted the VP role. McCain didn't have a shot and I think she only hurt herself by coming out against a media darling (Obama) in a terrible year for any republican. That being said, everyone thought Truman and Reagan were idiots... so we'll see.

JT   December 4th, 2008 9:20 pm ET

Who cares?????????? Its not like Palin has anything interesting to say. Doesn't Palin knows that Joe "Six Pack" and Joe "The Plumber" doesn't watch Oprah.

Change   December 4th, 2008 9:20 pm ET

One day the women of this country will wake up and realize Oprah is a fake! The Alaskans want their Governor home to run the state. They didn’t like the fact she went to PA. a couple of days ago and that was on state business. She needs to do interviews sparely from here on out. The corrupt news media (like CNN) is out in full force watching her every move in Alaska. But what they don’t understand is now they are in Palin Land and the Alaskans won’t put up with the tabloid main stream media trashing their governor. Journalism died in 2008.

Trish   December 4th, 2008 9:19 pm ET

Good for Sarah! Oprah claims that she didn't want her show to be a political platform prior to the election when that's exactly what she made it with her support for Obama. I am glad that Sarah snubbed her. At least she is true to her word. I used to like Oprah but after this incident, no way, no how. She showed her true racist colors.

Robert   December 4th, 2008 9:19 pm ET

Ophrah is selfish and two-faced. Her ratings will suffer from her blind and misguided hero worship

Jonathan   December 4th, 2008 9:19 pm ET

I am really sorry that Sarah Palin has offended Oprah, but I distinctly remember Oprah turning her down during the campaign. I voted for President-elect Obama, but once you clearly choose a side in an election, you can't blame her for talking to other people.

Bill   December 4th, 2008 9:19 pm ET

CNN reporting the important issues as always. Why don't you report on the millions of dollars we are still giving the Iraqi government everyday while our service members live in buildings with no plumbing and tents?

Sarah shouldn't waste her time improving ratings for the Orpha show.

Paul   December 4th, 2008 9:15 pm ET

Wow there are a lot of small, bitter people out there, especially on these forums. Don't hate Oprah because she's successful and falls in a different demographic as you; it only reflects badly on you.

Navy Vet   December 4th, 2008 9:14 pm ET

I believe Sarah Palin is trying to find an interpreter, who speaks that same wacky language she speaks, to go along with her to Oprah's show. Oprah will need someone there on stage to translate what that idiot Palin will be trying to say.
Why not have Tina Fey come on instead and fill in for Palin? Tina would do a much better job and Oprah could understand her because Tina Fey speaks English.

Who the hell is Sarah faillig?.... a lady elected because she is first alaskan female gov. Women voted for her before they knew her. Her high pitchy is darn annoying. I hope she'll glue herself in alaska. She has chicken intelligence. she thinks everything is a beauty contest. She cannot answer questions. Cannot raise her own child. At 17 her daughter pregnant out of wed lock. Sarah if you can't raise your child you can never run a country....

Joe the plumber is a liar.
Liar, liar pants on fire.
Hoping he'll work in a cabinet for president McCain.
Oops, I forgot McCain did not win
So republicans are in pain.
Their illiterate VP choice, Sarah Palin's,
Fifteen minutes of fame is fading.
They are sad and as a result they resort to hatred.

You stupid conservatives should know that you are sending the wrong message to the world. Your hate for foreigners, and muslims could comeback to hunt you.

America is a liberal country. Change has come back to America.

Brian   December 4th, 2008 9:14 pm ET

Sarah should go on the show, so we can see she hasn't changed since the debates and interviews. Once a moronic babbling idiot, always a moronic idiot. They must not teach history, geography or anything worth knowing in the schools she went to, because she has yet to learn English or how to put together a sentence.

Peggy from Ohio   December 4th, 2008 9:13 pm ET

Geez! Oprah can't win! First she makes it clear that she's not going to interview the candidates during the election. She gets blasted for not interviewing Palin, supposedly because she's biased to the left (she wasn't interviewing ANY of the candidates!); then she tries to invite her AFTER the election, gets snubbed, then blasted again by mistaken Palin sympathizers for supposedly snubbing her in the first place!

Idiots!

Andrew   December 4th, 2008 9:13 pm ET

She snubbed Palin before the election. Serves her right.

mary   December 4th, 2008 9:12 pm ET

I hope Oprah enjoys her last days as Queen of TV. She made the biggest mistake of her life getting involved in politics. She has lost her base. She has shown herself as a true member of Rev. Wright's church.
When she said she finally has hope, she should the world how ungrateful she was to her audience who made her one of the wealthiest women in the world. It could not happen anywhere else but in the USA. Let's see how wealthy people become with the Obama administration.

I don't blame Palin one bit. She doesn't need Oprah.

Frank   December 4th, 2008 9:12 pm ET

In reference to the last comment, is it because he is black? Have we not proven that we are beyond that yet? Better yet, will he not acknowledge the he is biracial? Oprah is over rated. Why do we not hope for the best that this great country has to offer and pray that it will continue. Hopefully the checks and balances that our constitution has provided us will keep us going the way that made us the greatest nation in the world.

Clint, Wa.   December 4th, 2008 9:11 pm ET

Don't worry Oprah, as soon as she is done rehearsing with Joe the dummer she will appear on your show.

thewebgal   December 4th, 2008 9:10 pm ET

Who cares what Sarah Palin says at this point – she is just trolling for publicity but she is so O-V-E-R ... She had her moment in the sun and doesn't seem to love Alaska enough to go home ...

reggie   December 4th, 2008 9:09 pm ET

Gov Palin should snub Oprah. Oprah was very biased and politcal during the campaign. If I were Palin, I would NOT give Oprah the satisfaction of higher ratings by gracing her talkshow.

William Shipley   December 4th, 2008 9:09 pm ET

Sarah Palin is a governor. She was away for the months of the campaign and has to get her budget ready, dealing with the drop in oil prices - a big deal for Alaskans.

She hasn't gone on anybody's show. She's been interviewed at her house, sat down at the Republican Governor's convention for a couple of interviews and done some remote hookups. Other than a day of campaigning for Chambliss, she's been pretty much busy.

I doubt Oprah wants to move her show to Palin's living room so that she can hold it while Palin perpares the family dinner like Greta did. Palin has many many requests for interviews, she has to pace herself.

I doubt that you can read much into her not dropping everything to go on Oprah. And if she did, you'd say she should be back in Alaska doing her job.

Bob   December 4th, 2008 9:06 pm ET

Thank you Opera Winfrey and Sarah Palin for such a fine display of Politics and feminism. I haven't seen a female controversy like this since WWII when a batch of nylons went on sale after being publicized the day before the sale!

Carol   December 4th, 2008 9:05 pm ET

"snubbed"? Oprah ought to be relieved – it would be like interviewing the fence post.

Voter 2   December 4th, 2008 9:04 pm ET

Sarah is pretty so automatically she cant do anything right. Oprah backed obama, she probably paid for alot for obama somehow, what good is going to do but make oprah richer, if sarah is on the show? What i want to is why Obama preached so much change but is reinstalling the clinton administration? Another "Change" politician lies again – but he has to come up with a birth certificate somewhere... looks like chicago crooks finally made it to the white house. thanks oprah.

WE BEING BLACK DOCS SEE THE SAME LOGIC IN COMPARISON TO - "MEN START WARS AND WOMEN DON'T".
ON THE OTHER SIDE, MR. OBAMA IS THE PRESIDENT "ELECTED" OF THESE UNITED STATES. NOT THE WHITE PRESIDENT, NOT THE BLACK PRESIDENT, NOT THE BROWN, RED,YELLOW OR ANY SHADES IN BETWEEN. HE IS THE PRESIDENT "ELECTED" OF THESE UNITED STATES THAT HAPPENS TO BE BLACK. TO SEE ANY OTHER LOGIC WOULD BE ILLOGICAL. THEN TO, LOOK AT ALL RETHIC ABOUT THESE TWO LADIES.

Oprah is starting to get annoying!!!! Oprah first snubs Palin and then wonders why Palin will not go on her show! Give me a break, Oprah, not everyone thinks you're God!

Creeped Out   December 4th, 2008 9:00 pm ET

That last quote is what scares me about Obama (and I voted for him). The other day I watched a Frontline episode that showed Kenyan reactions to Obama – and it was madness. There was a school that had been renamed "Obama School" with giant murals of him on the wall. The principle was certain that, should Obama win, he would help her school!!! There was a bus driver with the Obama bus. Countless babies named Barak Obama. Etc.

Obviously, Mr. Obama can't control this. But it creeps me out. So Oprah truly believes that this is the ultimate night planet earth has ever seen? I don't even know where to begin. Of course it's an historic night, one of the most historic in our nation's (short) history. But no other night on earth, no other political, cultural, religious, or even environmental event can possibly rival Mr. Obama's inauguration?

Mr. Obama, I hope you and Jesus both save me from your followers!!!

K B   December 4th, 2008 8:59 pm ET

Oprah has fought for years on empowering women. I think Oprah is truly a remarkable woman. But during the election I would have hoped she would have set politics aside and interview Sarah Palin for what she has accomplished as a mother and woman – the very thing Oprah has been advocating for years. Oprah made a choice during the election not to interview Sarah Palin. Oprah made her bed . . . Why in the world should Sarah Palin accommodate Oprah?

Mike   December 4th, 2008 8:59 pm ET

Bob Thornton   December 4th, 2008 8:58 pm ET

Does Oprah really have an understanding of history? There has never been a night on earth like this?

Oprah: The Civil Rights movement in this country has had far more impact than anything Obama could ever do for the plight of African American people. Palin dismissed you because you selectively hear history; you don't understand it.

Grandma Jones   December 4th, 2008 8:58 pm ET

Plenty of sore heads wanting to vent against Oprah, mostly guys and conservative women who adore Palin the cheerleader simpleton, but Oprah's show ratings still sails upwards and away. Even the Florida Republican women organization failed to boycott and disrupt the show during the campaign. Oprah, you go ahead and make your loyal fans happy, and disregard these wannabe upstarts who don't watch your show anyways.

Megan   December 4th, 2008 8:57 pm ET

Did any of the morons on here read the story? Oprah invited Palin onto her show, and she declined. I'm betting Palin declined because every interview she's every done has been a p.r. nightmare for her, and she can't think off the top of her head. Don't ask me how she got into public office; I guess there must be slim pickin's up there in snowville.

Also, the racist people who are commenting their filth on this story seriously need to take a good look at themselves. There is no room for racists anywhere but hell.

chuck   December 4th, 2008 8:57 pm ET

Hmm....I just can't figure out why she is doing this. Is it because of his political party? No, that's not it. Maybe it's because he's from Chicago? No, couldn't be. There must be something I'm overlooking? She's such a fair-minded and unbiased person...I just can't figure out why she has made such a big deal?

Anonymous   December 4th, 2008 8:56 pm ET

Say What?

Why don't you have Obama on your show again and ask him to produce his Certificat of Live Birth, to prove to America he is eligable to be president, before you start planing an inauguration show.

There are not even words to talk about what this night means,” Oprah said of Obama's inauguration. “Everybody keeps using the word historic — there’s never been a night like this on the planet earth… Nothing can compare to this.”

"on the planet earth... Nothing can compare to this"

Jeesshhh Harp get the hell over yourself and your Obamanation fascination... He is not president yet!

CJ Richards   December 4th, 2008 8:55 pm ET

Palin didn't go on Oprah because O would have exposed who she is as a person. Oprah is different from other interviewers as she brings out the full scope of a person when she interviews them.

Palin has too many missing parts...

Allen in Hartwell, GA   December 4th, 2008 8:54 pm ET

I am a white, middle-aged, southern male and I have no idea why Oprah would waste her time and the time of her fans on Governor Sarah Palin. If everyone would ignore her maybe she'd go back to Alaska where she is appreciated.

Oprah, you asked once...don't press your luck!

Pailed By Palin   December 4th, 2008 8:54 pm ET

Good, she shouldn't be in the same room with intelligent people. I'm sure there's some local yocal station she can go to.

Sarah should stay in Alaska and take care of her kids. And for goodness sakes, don't breed anymore, five little Palins is enough.

I'm glad Palin snubbed Oprah – what goes around comes around. There was absolutely no reason for Oprah to refuse to have Palin on her show until AFTER the elections. That was a very prejudiced move on her part and I'm very surprised that she did that.

OK...seriously..."there’s never been a night like this on the planet earth… Nothing can compare to this.” – ????????

Get over yourself and get a grip on reality. If she feels that way for the racial significance, all I would say is that all this proves is that we are at our core NOT a racist country and actually the least racist in the world – and have been for quite some time now.

She is a windbag and a fool...a smart, hard working, successful woman...but a fool nonetheless.

Sarah Palin may be a little on the silly side but she has enough sense to know that Oprah will ask her tough questions instead of the softball questions she got from Fox News and Larry King.

@James-

Um, woman running for VP and Oprah didn't want her on her show during the election to give her air time.

Are you kidding me? You are very biased obviously and have your tongue on an Obama sign licking it.

When your taxes go up and you lose your job (i hope hope) then you will regret your decision.

Obama is going to ruin the American economy. Democrats have owned congress for 2 years. count them, 2 years and yet we are in a mess...where was the oversight on fannie mae and freddie mac?

elle   December 4th, 2008 8:47 pm ET

Applause to Sarah Palin for not bowing down to the great Oprah. Oprah dissing Palin will have far greater repurcussions than Palin dissing Oprah. Palin is on her way up and Oprah is on her way down.

i love you oprah, you are so right ,there has never been a time like this in our life time, God bless you, and God bless obama.

D   December 4th, 2008 8:45 pm ET

Oprah didn't let Palin on. Palin is saying no to Oprah. That's sweet revenge I think! Maybe Oprah needs better ratings; that's why she's inviting Palin. She brought Obama on the show and no one else...I can't stand celebrities who insist on having a say in politics.

susie   December 4th, 2008 8:44 pm ET

Good for Palin, she doesn't need Oprah.

Julie   December 4th, 2008 8:44 pm ET

Good for Palin. Was hoping the one person (Oprah) who I used to just love until she turned into an Obama lover, would have Palin on her show as I thought she was a fair person. I realize she has her own agenda. Sarah is a christian and since Oprah thinks there are many ways to get to heaven, I quit watching her show forever.

Jesus is the only way Oprah. And there is NO other way.

I didn't say it, the Word of God did.

munny   December 4th, 2008 8:44 pm ET

Oprah is just your typical political prostitute. She could care less about women or women's issues, but that is what she sells herself as. If she cared more about women than she would have had Palin on during the campaign because it was still a historic event for women – period.

She did not though, and now she figures she can get her political win and still cash in on Palin's ratings appeal. I have no desire to see Palin in politics, but the woman certainly owes nothing to a phony like Oprah.

Scott L   December 4th, 2008 8:44 pm ET

I told you. Oprah, Katie, all those idiots trashed Palin or snubbed her during the election.

Now they want a hot ticket to try to appease back to the right.

Palin is right to snub them. They are biased liberal trash.

They are so rich they don't care about the tax increases Americans will see. It is so awesome I am laughing at all of you morons that voted for Obama. I am set with cash to ride out the storm, hope you are too!

Jeff   December 4th, 2008 8:42 pm ET

Yeah, Oprah, there has never been a night like this. We have elected a terrorist sympathizer president. Heck, he even has a terrorist's name. And why should Palin talk to you? You snubbed her during the campaign and now she is snubbing you. I can't stand your show and I can't stand you. I think you are overrated and the only reason why people watch your show or voted for Barack Hussein Obama is because of collective white guilt. Of course CNN (Communist News Network) won't print this because they are a bunch of cowards who don't believe in free speech.

Bridg   December 4th, 2008 8:42 pm ET

Oprah, trust me, a snub from that ding bat is the best thing to ever happen you you!! I am so upset with you for wanting to subject us one more time to that bable, bable, bable Sarah Palin! I cannot stand the sound of her voice!!

aynes54   December 4th, 2008 8:40 pm ET

Oprah must need to get her ratings back up...I heard they were way down....She needs people to come back and get behind her after her endorsement of Obama put so many people off so she NOW wants to have Sarah Palin on her show. Good for Sarah Palin!!!!

Let her go back to obscurity. She won't even get governorship again. The Republicans are looking at another 1912 split in their party with Progressives going off on their own and the social conservatives along with the rest of the idiots whining in their beer.

Anonymous   December 4th, 2008 8:37 pm ET

I am sure Palin will have an adequate explanation. Personally speaking simply because she is a social conservative (strike one) and managed to trick (strike two) enough voters in a very unpoplulated state(strike three) to vote for her really says nothing. It is like paying attention to Joewhateverhisnameis. This woman needs to return to obscurity but the Republicans are too confused to realize that. I do believe we are going to see another 1912 style split of the Republican party and again the Progressives will split off from the idiots.

JoePub   December 4th, 2008 8:36 pm ET

It's funny how the Palin haters keep on repeating the same old "Isn't her 15 minutes of fame up yet"? Uhh, no sorry apparently if nobody was interested in her then she would have gone away. Just because YOU do not care for her does not mean that others are not interested. You see, some of us actually have the ability to think for ourselves and do not need the blatantly bias media to "tell us" who we should pay attention to.

With that said, I respect Obama now and I wish him the best of luck. He seems more central that I originally thought he'd be so I'm going to give him a chance. As far as Oprah is concerned, it's Sarah's choice if she snubs the show, so what?

And for the last time, please stop playing the race card if it is not warranted. Just because someone may not agree with Obama or his politics does not make that person a racist. I don't make things an issue with race, why should you?

John   December 4th, 2008 8:35 pm ET

It should be clear to most people by now that Sarah Palin is a closet racist, if not openly racist. She is the GOP cover girl, and they are giving their core base, exactly what they want. It's all pretty sickening.

So maybe Palin snubbed Oprah but Oprah also snubbed Palin. Why is that OK? Perhaps Palin will talk to Oprah after Obama takes office or when he is no longer in office...who knows and who cares! Get over it Oprah and move on.

Hols   December 4th, 2008 8:34 pm ET

Point 1 – If you listen to what Oprah said – she did invite Palin to her show. Palin chose not to participate, not the other way around. No harm no foul. Oprah was being fair and balanced. Palin was exercising her right to select / chose her own next PR move.

Point 2 – If Oprah wants to call this 'there's never been a night like this on the planet' – she has a right to this opinion. And it's just an opinion -albeit one shared by many.

As for my own opinion – This specific inauguration is truly significant. Someone characterized it as a changing point in our country's history and culture. Couldn't agree more. I just hope the reality supports the expectation – and he's hitting it on all cylinders so far!!!

Time will tell. Change is what I voted for but all I see is the same old establishment being put back in place. We will at some time take our country back from people that "speak with forked tongue". God bless the US citizens that have died for a day like January 20. Hopefully Obama will give credit to the people that gave their life, if not "pay back is hell". We talk that this is a great day but truly a great day is when a true American, Native American, will be President, not someone that is a guest and Obama is a guest as was Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan and on and on.

LALA   December 4th, 2008 8:33 pm ET

her future.Thanks.

Joe The Plumber   December 4th, 2008 8:33 pm ET

Oprah, I wouldn't worry about Palin. You're better off not to have her on your show. It wouldn't do anything positive for you and why bring in all the negativity that she brings with herself. Just move on and realize that some people are just going to act childish no matter what.

MM   December 4th, 2008 8:32 pm ET

Good for Sarah!

I hope she is snubbing Oprah, I've been snubbing Oprah myself for sometime. I hope Oprah enjoys her "historic night". Me, I will be reflecting back on some of the other historic nights in American history. Does Oprah even remember where she was on 9/11/01?
I thought we were a "united" nation but it seems some people still don't get that.

I do wish Obama all the luck. I don't think he needs Oprah to accomplish great things. He seems to have surrounded himself with enough good people.

Oprah should stick to her crash diets and hyper celebrity guests and stay out of politics. She clearly is not objective enough to deal with politics on her show.

Steve   December 4th, 2008 8:31 pm ET

Bigger than the night Christ was born. Bigger than his death. Bigger than the Allies victory over the Axis in W.W. II. There have been plenty of bigger and more important events. As for Oprah herself, she takes herself way to seriously and is obviously a lot more important in her own mind than she is to most of the rest of us. A few more people need to tell this preaching goody two shoes they don't have time for her and maybe she'll come back down to earth with us commoners for a while.

Donna   December 4th, 2008 8:31 pm ET

boohoo for Oprah....Oprah snubbed Palin before the election.

LouAnn   December 4th, 2008 8:31 pm ET

Oprah...consider yourself lucky and blessed. Why would you want to talk to her? She lacks any sort of intelligence and her voice is incredibly annoying. You are very lucky. No one is interested in her anymore anyway. She is old news.

Lori   December 4th, 2008 8:30 pm ET

I love Oprah and I'm glad that she supported Obama.

She does not need Palin on her show. Palin is over. Her time came and went in a few weeks. I don't want to hear about her until the GOP nominates her in 2012 and Obama wins his next election like he did this one- in a landslide!

Barry   December 4th, 2008 8:30 pm ET

Its a good thing Sarah Palin got even with Oprah. Sarah should never talk to Oprah ever. I hope her show goes down with the economy.

notinterested   December 4th, 2008 8:30 pm ET

Palin could not use Oprah as a campaign tool before the election so she has no interest in Oprah now. Wait till Palin runs for office again and she will be knocking on Oprah's door. Palin is self centered and manipulative, no one to be admired.

“Everybody keeps using the word historic — there’s never been a night like this on the planet earth… Nothing can compare to this.”

JB   December 4th, 2008 8:29 pm ET

I'd be happy if they both went away. Palin's a joke and Oprah thinks she's the freakin' messiah. I guess now that Obama's president she's going to take all the credit. I voted for him, but not because Oprah told me to.

Jay   December 4th, 2008 8:28 pm ET

I don't know why people are getting worked up over this............
Palin didn't want to do an interview with Oprah because she wanted to target an audience that would understand her shallow mindedness. Oprah's viewers are well educated and smart women hence Palin was not comfortable.

To say that Oprah didn't want to interview Palin during the campaign............well, did she interview the Obamas or Bidens during the campaign? Of course not, she made it clear that she didn't want to use her show as platform for the campaign.

Now, just because she is successful and famous doesn't mean she can't support a candidate of her choosing outside of her show. If there is a loser in this story, its Palin, Oprah would have introduced her to a whole new demographic that's a complete opposite from the extreme religious wingnuts she identifies with.

Everyman   December 4th, 2008 8:28 pm ET

The way Ms. Winfrey sees it, is that Obama's swearing-in is the second comming of Jesus.

I don't watch Oprah (hey, I work during the day) but even if I did, I would not care to see Sarah Palin interviewed, had a bellyfull of her during the campaign.

educatedblackwoman   December 4th, 2008 8:26 pm ET

To dennis mn: Your ignorance and stupidity are showing (and, no, they're not the same thing). Oprah's audience demographic is primarily middle-aged *white* women. Watch her show once and see who comprises her audience. As for "lazy black women," guess what? Black women–and women, period–are some of the hardest- working people I know–raising children, maintaining households, paying bills, caring for their husbands. I am a black woman and I have an Ivy-league B.A. and two master's degrees. I've also been accepted into school for a Ph.D. I own my own home, my own car, work a full-time job, am not in debt, do volunteer work, etc. etc. And what do *you* do? Probably not much based on your racist, sexist comment. As for Oprah and Palin, I am a fan of neither, but I admire what both have been able to accomplish.

I don't care much about Oprah. I've never watched her show. Her self-gratifying show and magazine seem pretty rediculous to me. That being said, why does she care about Palin? The less air time Palin gets, the better. She was instrumental in losing the election for the Republican Party, and she's too stupid to realize just how stupid she really is. I want my party back, and I don't want Palin to be a part of it. If she becomes only a footnote in history, that will be giving her too much air time.

Carmine Bulgavare   December 4th, 2008 8:24 pm ET

Talk about going overboard Oprah!

Who Cares   December 4th, 2008 8:24 pm ET

I don't get it. who really cares. Palin knows exactly what she is doing and nobody really cares. It does not change one thing. If we had vote again she still would be going back to Alaska with no interview on Ophra show. She can't handle pressure.

Nicki   December 4th, 2008 8:24 pm ET

The respectable thing would've been to at least decline the invitation, but because Palin used AVOIDANCE has her response – that clearly tells me she (Palin) is too chicken to face Oprah's (more than likely critical) questions. The attention that interview would get would be astronomical (unlike those other less publicized interviews). Everyone and their mama would tune in to watch Oprah interview Sarah Palin – and I guarantee you it would be ugly! The air would be think with tension, and Sarah would know that no matter how well she answered a question – the host (and editor working for the host) will never look bad and never lose. Sarah Palin on Oprah's show would be a costly mistake for her image and she knows it!

Ryan - Michigan   December 4th, 2008 8:24 pm ET

Who cares? Why are you reporting this garbage?

Oprah and Palin are both overrated.

Helen   December 4th, 2008 8:24 pm ET

She knows Oprah will tear her out the frame. Unlike Greta, Hannity and those so call journalist. Palin has her followers (those who just want any breathing woman, not a qualified woman) but Oprah is more intelligent.

I hope she doesn't do the show because that would only keep Palin in the news a little longer. (Sure Oprah's rating would increase) but she is doing fine.

GOOD BYE TO PALIN....PLEASE EXIT QUIETLY.

James   December 4th, 2008 8:24 pm ET

Those of you bashing Oprah are clearly biased. I'm not a big Oprah fan, but she has every right to have or not have people on HER show. She had Obama on her show BEFORE the presidential campaign NOT DURING the campaign. All of you would have a legitimate criticism if she had Obama on during the campaign. But I'm sure that's not a fact that many of you are interested in acknowledging. It is Palin's right to snub Oprah for not letting her promote herself on Oprah's show. But I really don't think Oprah cares and is probably glad she will not come on the show. And if anyone wants to criticize her because of the PERSONAL value she places on Obama's inauguration, get a life. That is HER opinion and she is entitled to it. You don't have to agree with her.

Warren   December 4th, 2008 8:23 pm ET

"There's never been a night like this on planet earth"..Well, I guess Oprah doesn't think much about Christ's birth. But then, she's too wrapped up in Oprah to think anything else is important.

Remy December 4th, 2008 8:01 pm ET

Palin is a lost case. Oprah is famous than Palin. I think many posters here are unable to swallow the fact that a Black Man elected to the highest office of USA.

Oprah is widely accepted as a good AMERICAN, specially by WHITE Americans. The hate mongers are crying for Palin who showed her dumb mind during the campaign. Many idiots shouted "KILL OBAMA" during her campaign. This is the history of a RACIST minded Palin.

Many males are shouting for Palin after they saw her in a swim suit. That is not politics.

If Palin has any ambition to become President of USA, she has to sit with OPRAH and chat!
So – you apparently get all your news from SNL and other so-called comedy shows. Who cares who is more "famous". Worldwide, more people know about Hitler than Oprah – does that make you feel better?
ONE man shouted "kill him" at a rally, but not when Palin was speaking. Not "many", not Palin.
The picture you are referring to was an obvious Photoshop of someone else – not Palin. Only morons believed it was her.
And no, no one "has to sit with Oprah". She is not a king-maker, and never will be, although she thinks she is.
Keep on posting fefe – you make us rednecks look like geniuses!!

On one of her shows, Oprah once said, "When someone shows you who they are, believe them." Oprah showed who she was before the election by having Barack Obama on her show – and refusing to have Sarah Palin on until after the election. In my opinion, Gov Palin shouldn't waste her time with Oprah. We saw who Oprah is, and it wasn't pretty. I don't waste my time on Oprah anymore. No more Oprah show, let the magazine subscription expire, and when I get those goofey emails about "Seen on Oprah," I delete them without opening.

Trevor Guerlain   December 4th, 2008 8:21 pm ET

This is so stupid because black women make up less than 8 percent of the US population and if you watch Oprah you will see that her audience is mainly white women. Sarah Palin is an idiot who has gotten by on her looks. Even Repubs are starting to dislike her.

You are either a old fart or just uneducated.

MoodyBlue   December 4th, 2008 8:17 pm ET

Sarah, sweetie – This governor job you have, is it a part-time gig? Don't you think the people of Alaska might want you to come home and do your thing? You already took time off to run McCain's campaign into the ground. You then paraded around Georgia – a state 4000 miles away from your place of work, and you are deciding whether or not to grace Oprah? If the State of Alaska is paying you by the hour, then they're getting their money's worth. If you are on salary, I sense some fraud, waste and abuse. Have a nice day, hun.

It's hard to imagine Oprah having an intelligent conversation with Sarah Palin. All you have to do is listen to how well Oprah is at expressing her self and listen to Sarah Palin talk.

Sarah is obviously frightened of Oprah...no softballs from Oprah....Greta has become a total Fox O'Reilly sound alike!

Twanna   December 4th, 2008 8:09 pm ET

I can not believe what I'm reading. I can't believe that grown and intelligent adults make comments about anybody they don't know. You sound worse than the kids at the recreational center I work at. I hope you did not vote. The comments you are making are so bias, racist, stupid, ignorant, and un-called for. I can imagine how some of your children act. I can see how America has gone down to tubes. there is no pride, no decency in any of your comments. Regardless of who won or who should have won. Maybe it was just destined or maybe not. But it is what it is. You are fighting a battle that has no meaning. If she goes and if she don't it don't change anything. These two people are who they are because of themselves and their effort to become somebody in the world. So your comments don't make them. Oprah and Sarah I hope you don't buy into all these comments that has no meaning what-so-ever. Oprah by me calling you racist does not make you one and Sarah by me calling you stupid does not make you stupid. It just make me ignorant and a liar. Be who you are who are they to judge. They are angry and misguided and thats how wars get started.

mpv   December 4th, 2008 8:08 pm ET

I cannot believe the hateful comments, all of you haters need to go away. I'll bet you call yourself a Christian, you hypocrites. Even if Palin is not the brightest bulb in the room, doesn't mean you all have to dis on Oprah. Oprah is a good person, she has worked hard to be where she is at.

Linda   December 4th, 2008 8:07 pm ET

It ticks me off that Obama is getting so much notoriety for being the first "black" man to get elected as President. Is he the best you can do? For pete's sake, Obama is half white and I would venture to say that that is the half that got him elected. Did Jesse Jackson make it? No! Did Alan Keys? No! Did Al Sharpton? No! If you want to get on the bandwagon and bow down to the first Black to get elected, you should have run a BLACK man or woman. Obama could have just as easily run as a white man. Do you think he would have won the election as a white man.? NO! because then his experience would have mattered. Face it, Obama won the election because of the ethnicity he chose to forefront. If our presidents are going to be elected based on the color of their skin, fine. But please don't insult my intelligence by continuing to claim that Obama is a black man.

holly   December 4th, 2008 8:07 pm ET

dear oprah,
you are not God. I'm sorry everyone is not subservient to you. i feel really bad for you with your billions of dollars and media empire.

Kate   December 4th, 2008 8:07 pm ET

So what. I love Oprah, but Sarah doesn't need to waste her time appearing on her show. Oprah made it know to the world that she was a Obama supporter. Cry now Oprah and try to make Sarah look bad.

amber   December 4th, 2008 8:06 pm ET

I used to have high regards for oprah because she was all about women and our chances to do great things. Now that she had the chance to interview one of our proud women she didnt want to just because of the election. Not fair oprah.

Nick December 4th, 2008 7:53 pm ET

Hey bob,

You're the one minded pig. Have you ever heard of a concept called context? If not I'll explain. The "context" in which Oprah was referring to there never having been a night like this is not in inaugurating a President. Its the fact that we elected the first African American President you imbecile.

Hey Nick – before you call someone a pig or an imbecile, look in the mirror. Elections happen all the time as well. And frankly it was a totally idiotic statement for ANYONE to say "there’s never been a night like this on the planet earth… Nothing can compare to this".

Tom   December 4th, 2008 8:05 pm ET

I can't stand either Oprah or Sarah Palin. They are both racist frauds.
Go, be gone with the both of you.

dennis mn   December 4th, 2008 8:05 pm ET

looks like alot of angry home spun sistas down on sarah palin. she is way to smart to go on tv with a old has been. If there wasn't so many lazy black women sitting at home watching her tv show she would have never gone as far as she has.

CAROLE   December 4th, 2008 8:05 pm ET

Just like in her interview with Katie Couric, Sarah Palin does NOT know how to handle REAL WOMEN with BRAINS.

She is the biggest disgrace to my sex ever!

dustin   December 4th, 2008 8:04 pm ET

and can we stop with the whole, this isn't as big as jesus' birth, for those of us who aren't religious, all 30 million of us, bigger than the jewish or black community, its not a convincing argument.

The Truth   December 4th, 2008 8:04 pm ET

For a large majority of blacks in this country, skin color trumps things like values and intelligence.

Robert   December 4th, 2008 8:04 pm ET

I'm a strong Obama supporter and even an Oprah fan. And even I'm saying this is silly. Oprah was on the trail actively campaigning for Obama. I'm glad she did, but it's hard for her to come back afterwards and be a "reporter" of events. I can't blame Palin on this one.

Annie, Atlanta   December 4th, 2008 8:04 pm ET

@steve – that's incredibly inappropriate. CNN, take steve's comment about what Lincoln Kennedy and Obama have in common off this blog, please! This kind of crap is totally inappropriate.

ROCK   December 4th, 2008 8:03 pm ET

Way to go Palin, you don't need to go on Oprah, matter of fact. I hope you don't. Sarah Palin is an intelligent woman and she will go far in her career, politics if she wants. Stay strong Mrs. Palin whatever you decide, if you remain conservative (Republican) you'll have my vote. I respect your views and I look forward to seeing you in the future years to come.

It is very disheartening to read so many negative views. Just nasty and negative things come out of some people. Whatever happened to:
"If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything."

David   December 4th, 2008 8:03 pm ET

The Oprah show is not a good forum for Palin and the other right wing bible thumping gun toting extremists. They have Fox news and Jerry Springer to help them connect.

ck   December 4th, 2008 8:02 pm ET

Oh geez, now we have Oprah pushing her nose into the mix.

Can this get anymore ridiculous???

I am sure it will... LOL

james   December 4th, 2008 8:02 pm ET

Oprah is self-righteous and a guru of the innocent non-thinking sector of of the public that is easily lead. She denies Christ's divinity and only path to heaven, and supports new age guru's on her radio show. She is not worthy of any celebration. The rest of you "children" on this board referring to Palin. You're silly.

Looloo   December 4th, 2008 8:02 pm ET

There has never been a night like this on the planet? That's just laugh out loud silly.

Steve   December 4th, 2008 8:01 pm ET

Please. Greatest moment on the earth ever? How about when the Nazi's fell? How about when our country was created? How about when we walked on the moon? Obama's inaguration is definitely historic on a grand scale but lets not get ahead of ourselves. The man has a ton of work to do.

Bs   December 4th, 2008 8:01 pm ET

Governor Palin, outside her new age Church, is still insisting that the signs in the sun, the moons, and the stars should be imminent.

She really believes this will happen.

Remy   December 4th, 2008 8:01 pm ET

Palin is a lost case. Oprah is famous than Palin. I think many posters here are unable to swallow the fact that a Black Man elected to the highest office of USA.

Oprah is widely accepted as a good AMERICAN, specially by WHITE Americans. The hate mongers are crying for Palin who showed her dumb mind during the campaign. Many idiots shouted "KILL OBAMA" during her campaign. This is the history of a RACIST minded Palin.

Many males are shouting for Palin after they saw her in a swim suit. That is not politics.

If Palin has any ambition to become President of USA, she has to sit with OPRAH and chat!

Steve   December 4th, 2008 8:01 pm ET

I don't think Sara Palin should lower herself to appear on Oprha's show. She'll do very well without Oprha.

lopez   December 4th, 2008 8:00 pm ET

Are you people out of your mind. Have you nothing better to do? Survivor is on tonight. Maybe Sara and Oprah can be eaten by a green african mamba and we won't have to hear about either one ever again!

Tony, Enterprise, Alabama   December 4th, 2008 7:59 pm ET

Once again Oprah proves she is all about Oprah.

I am glad that President-elect Obama appointed Hillary SOS...but I still have not totally warmed to him as president, and I am a life-long Democrat.

I didn't care for Oprah before the primaries, during the primaries, yesterday, today or tomorrow.

I mean really! Who cares what she has to say?

Believer   December 4th, 2008 7:59 pm ET

DISING BIG O??? Ha Ha Ha!! After the election is too late for the real story. Who does she think she is?? I know her game, only talk to Sara when there aren't any voters to listen. CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP SHOT. She's not a biased Liberal ? Didn't want to influence the election?? Come on OBAAAMA wasn't running was he? That's the very reason we don't watch her.

steve   December 4th, 2008 7:59 pm ET

What do Lincoln, Kennedy and Obama have in common?

Nothing....yet.

Marge   December 4th, 2008 7:58 pm ET

Dang de dang Palin DOES have spunk........I am so glad she skipped the Owful show. She kissed obama butt the whole campaign but said she didn't want to get political...I guess political to her meant she wouldn't talk to republicans.

James   December 4th, 2008 7:58 pm ET

Claire, you also have to know that the United States has gone out of its' way to promote and educate black people and those that have taken advantage of it have done quite well and are a great addition to society. However, we have the others who sit at home all day with their hands out waiting for free money or someone to show them the way and they are the same ones who scream RACISM every time something doesnt go their way. We also have the NAACP, the United Negro College Fund and Affirmative Action which all seem to be race based organizations and laws, but because it is for black people, we look the other way. Now we have a black President Elect proving black people are capable of anything they want to do and yet the only thing we will hear is "racism this and racism that"

Dr Larry   December 4th, 2008 7:58 pm ET

fefe December 4th, 2008 7:40 pm ET

All i smell is a bunch of haters now all of sudden you white people mad because she's a Obama fan, And for sarah palin Oprah does not need her on her show sarah is just small potaoes compared to the big O. And i totally agree with Oprah President Obama's inarguation is going to be the biggest event ever, our civil right leaders worked hard for this day. So why are you peo[le trippn. WTG OBAMA (YES WE DID)

Gee, where to start? Besides being a suck-up racist, you appear to be, shall we say, not so bright.
"all you white people" ? You means the millions that voted for BO?
"bunch of haters"? Now that sounds like you and some other BO supporters.
"Obama fan"? I guess that is right, since we know what "fan" is short for. (Oh, I probably have to explain it to FiFi or fefe or Rover – it stands for fanatic).
"biggest event ever" ? Not even close.
Try to use a little sense and logic if you have anything to say.

Ambrose Smith, Borrego Springs, California   December 4th, 2008 7:58 pm ET

Pay attention Palin apologists! Oprah endorsed Obama BEFORE the election. Then she announced that she would have NO CANDIDATES on her show afterward. Including Obama.

She also said that after the election she would be happy to have Palin on the show.

PAY ATTENTION!

Palin is a wimp.

Martin M. Ervin   December 4th, 2008 7:58 pm ET

Sarah who!! Isn't Palin's 15 minutes of fame up, doesn't she have a state to run and family to rear? If anyone needs snubbing it’s Palin...

cameroon/west africa   December 4th, 2008 7:58 pm ET

sarah the loser.nobody cares about this woman anymore.

Palin ... who?

Clinton Fringer   December 4th, 2008 7:57 pm ET

I can't mention on here what Palin should say to Oprah. Oprah needs to get over herself . She is using Obama to gain more attention on herself. Doesn't take a genius to see that. Maybe she can go stand ramdonly in the crowd there and cry on a stranger's shoulder too. Nutjob.

hitobito   December 4th, 2008 7:57 pm ET

Who really cares about the dimwit Governor of Alaska? It was astonishing to witness the the arrogant cluelessness of Sarah Palin in her interviews with Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric. Nobody running for a national office should be that dumb! I hope she starts reading any newspaper even the Mat-Su Frontiersman (the newspaper of Wasilla, Alaska)!

dustin   December 4th, 2008 7:57 pm ET

the fact that the election is over and people are still defending palin blows my mind. And not in the way palin had her mind blown when asked what she read.

Diana Ewing NJ   December 4th, 2008 7:56 pm ET

That is absolutely wonderful News...... that means we won't have to hear that shrilling voice on yet another program.... and listen to the run-on sentences that last for 3 pages.... ...

Linda   December 4th, 2008 7:56 pm ET

Looks like O needs some contraversy and attention for herself.

A pretty far fetch to say she's being snubbed. How many other shows has Gov Palin not been able to grant interviews too?

And if Oprah didn't want to have her on, surely she doesn't expect to get priority over the ones who DID make the time for Gov Palin before the election.

I'm sorry O your show isn't doing as well. Better find something else to try to get attention.

ROCK   December 4th, 2008 7:56 pm ET

Per Oprah, there's never been a moment as grand as Obama being elected? For me, the birth of Jesus Christ tops them all. Obama, is a man, and Oprah is a woman, they are not saints, nor are they divine, they are wealthy people. I stopped watching Oprah years ago, she is not my spiritual guide, nor do I need to hear her rant and rave about her new "book". I find plenty good books on my own.

Bobby   December 4th, 2008 7:56 pm ET

Only a racist would make a statement like that. Why does everyone have to bring race into everything. The last I knew we were all mankind alike. And as for the statement by Oprah that this is the biggest thing of all time on earth. Maybe man walking on the moon was the biggest thing but not a new president. Can't we just all get along? Oh by the way Oprah is an idiot and always has been and her show sucks...

Oprah Obama   December 4th, 2008 7:55 pm ET

Does anyone even watch her show anymore? If I want to watch anything with a stupid fat woman, I'll watch the Color Purple.

Franky   December 4th, 2008 7:55 pm ET

To be honest, I'm just getting tired of Oprah, especially during this election. I just got tired of her and thank God Gov Palin did her bogus. Don't get me wrong, Oprah is the master of all ladies and it can help Gov Palin but talk to me when Oprah hooks me up on her show...I mean, a lot of ladies do watch, you know, LOL!!

Mark   December 4th, 2008 7:55 pm ET

Oh Please. Oprah acts like Barak is the second coming. Her antics really are nauseating.

Frank   December 4th, 2008 7:55 pm ET

Why should we?

Anonymous   December 4th, 2008 7:54 pm ET

Let Oprah does what she does best. Just be fair and invite her. And it is up to Sara Palin to accept or not to accept.

Teacher   December 4th, 2008 7:54 pm ET

Oprah has lost my respect-even though I never was a fan. I think her involvement in Barack's election was based on race and it cost her many viewers. As for me, Oprah is a has-been.

TimMN   December 4th, 2008 7:53 pm ET

Dee TX   December 4th, 2008 7:53 pm ET

You know everyone has there opinons but you all are hater's as long as Oprah is giving away something everyone wants to be in her audiences. Sarah Palin does not have the right stuff upstairs, I know a lot of you think she walks on water but she doesn't. I can't even understand half the time what she is saying.

Oprah consider yourself lucky she won't be on the your show, I wouldn't watch it that day if she was.

A woman who does not care about Palin.

Nick   December 4th, 2008 7:53 pm ET

TF   December 4th, 2008 7:52 pm ET

The hubris of Oprah is amazing. While the night may be historic our nation, let alone our planet, has seen far more historic. The fall of the Berlin Wall, the Emancipation Proclamation, the Declaration of Independence, and V-Day in 1945 to end WWII. How can we except our children to improve their American History skills when a prominent American idol such as Oprah can't full comprehend it herself. May I suggest a bit of Western Civ for Ms. Winfrey?

July 4, 1776 vs January 20, 2009. You be the judge.

Real Mavericks don't call themselves Mavericks!!!   December 4th, 2008 7:51 pm ET

People – Oprah did not snub Palin. She did not have Obama on her show to talk about running for President. He was on to talk about his book. She did not use her show to promote her endorsement. People hate too much.

Ernie   December 4th, 2008 7:50 pm ET

Palin should tell Oprah where to stick it.

Dinah   December 4th, 2008 7:50 pm ET

Sarah Palin has nothing intelligent to say. Why would Oprah want her on the show anyway. She should get Tina Fey on instead.

Donna   December 4th, 2008 7:50 pm ET

I hope so...I watch Oprah and wouldn't want to see Palin on there being her normal goofy self...keep snubbing Oprah...I appreciate it!!!

Eleanor   December 4th, 2008 7:50 pm ET

probably had to pay for todd and the rest of the family clothing, airfare, hotel and food expenses just for one hour of bull-mess with no meaning. sara needs to go home and take care of business instead of being a clown for the gop party. how can she states that she is a mother when she leaves baby trig a special need child at home after been on the campaign trail for nine weeks does she not have any mother- wit about herself or has she got a taste of the good-life and wants to continue it while leaving the motherhood part to others. watch out mrs. "ice" cindy she may be cropping for your man "big nasty"john mcclain. todd can"t provide a lot of the excitement or other "stuff "since sara is the breadwinner for the family

In a hand basket   December 4th, 2008 7:50 pm ET

Necie   December 4th, 2008 7:49 pm ET

Pitbull Palin needs Oprah more than Oprah needs her. So much hate in the comments.....get real! Oprah is not biased..She didn't have ANY of the Nominees on her show so WHY sould Pitbull be shown favoritism?? She needs do us all a favor and say in Alaska-idiot.

jperez   December 4th, 2008 7:49 pm ET

There is alot of right wing haters talking about Oprah, I guess you embred people are still mad of the election, any way stupid sara Palin needs to teach her kids sex education and stop worrying about looking at Russia from her back yard, the biggest political idiot since Dan Quayle....lolololol I am laughing at you stupid republicans.....

Mike from Bham   December 4th, 2008 7:49 pm ET

Palin is terrible, no education, no experience.......she needs to go back to moose hunting and fishing,

Oprah, Get over yourself!!!

fefe   December 4th, 2008 7:49 pm ET

By the way itruly believe sarah hasn't went on Oprah because she's intimidated by Oprah, why aren't they making a big deal out of har daughter's pregnancy you ask me if they were AA they wouldn't even came that close.

Matt   December 4th, 2008 7:49 pm ET

I'm not even close to being a fan of Palin, so as to the first part of the story the less air time Palin gets the better off all of us are. But in regards to Oprah's last comment in the article, "Nothing to compare this to in the history of the planet" or something like that, all I have to say is "What??!! Really? Obama being elected and inaugurated is more monumental than anything that has happened in human history?" Sorry, there's just no hope the Obama-messiah-maniacs out there.

ash   December 4th, 2008 7:48 pm ET

Sarah does not need Oprah. Good for her for giving her the finger

yes we can   December 4th, 2008 7:48 pm ET

I would like, somebody explains to me "the values and integrity" of Sarah Palin. I cannot see any family values in her conduct with her children, particulary during the campaign, and in the education she gave them.
About her "integrity" .. give me a break!

Dr Larry   December 4th, 2008 7:48 pm ET

Who cares about Oprah? She is so biased it is pitiful, so why bother. Might as well go on "The View" without Elizabeth being there. Just a bunch of hacks.
And Oprah said:
“There are not even words to talk about what this night means,” Oprah said of Obama's inauguration. “Everybody keeps using the word historic — there’s never been a night like this on the planet earth… Nothing can compare to this.”
Really? Maybe she should think about what we are celebrating on December 25th. Of course, many of BO's supporters really think he is "the messiah", so who knows – maybe she meant it.

Kimberly   December 4th, 2008 7:48 pm ET

Can we get over Palin yet? The woman's 15 minutes of fame are well past time on the meter! I am just soooo thankful we weren't stuck with her for the next 4 plus years!

yes we can   December 4th, 2008 7:48 pm ET

I would like somebody explains to me "the values and integrity" of Sarah Palin. I cannot see any family values in her conduct with her children, particulary during the campaign, and in the education she gave them.

DON'T TREAD ON ME   December 4th, 2008 7:48 pm ET

I salute Oprah: she is more overexposed than Palin or her protege', R.Ray. It will be a relief if she moves to her new O channel.

As far as Palin; why would she want to do Oprah, past, present or future? Palin has nothing to gain from an interview with a totally fervent Obama supporter.

Annie, Atlanta   December 4th, 2008 7:47 pm ET

Maryanne, do you have any idea of the charities Oprah is involved in and how many children she has blessed with the gift of education? Have you ever heard of her favorite things show or her Angel network? You can feel about her as you wish, but your comment about her being nothing but a selfish rich snob shows incredible ignorance.

Gabr   December 4th, 2008 7:46 pm ET

1. "Nothing can compare to this.”??? I guess for Oprah yes, but there have been more important days than that in the history of the humankind, may be she should think about it in terms of the whole planet not just her 'planet Oprah'
2. The way she treated Palin, if she treatem me I'd say upfront go to 'you-know-where'...but I am not a politician...

No Hillary = No Obama   December 4th, 2008 7:45 pm ET

Talk about gall – Oprah did not give Palin ANY time on her show during the primaries, but rushed all over the country to promote her buddy Obama, held a celebrity-studded fund raiser in her mansion in Santa Barbara, had him and his wife on the show – Oprah is not a woman's advocate – and Palin should snub her.

JT   December 4th, 2008 7:44 pm ET

The Palin haters are so twisted. Anyway Oprah is well on her way down, the number of people who watch her shows have been slipping and her mag has suffered a loss as well. Her lights are dimming, so good, Palin should stay away from Oprah.

Bobb   December 4th, 2008 7:44 pm ET

I hope so. OpRahrah is an idiot

Critical Thinker   December 4th, 2008 7:43 pm ET

Lee: She made it very clear that she would not have any candidates on her show during the election season. Yes, Obama was on her show but that was BEFORE – BEFORE the election. People seem to enjoy overlooking this fact.

To Ms. Winfrey – I would say not to worry about her but I know you aren't. Why should one with such longevity and intelligence worry about an overnight sensation?

For those who felt Oprah should have invited Palin during election season, get rid of the entitlement complex – it doesn't have much power. Just as it's not all about Oprah, it is not all about Sarah.

I'm just glad that I can put my Palinese dictionary away. Shucks – I had to re-read and rewind her interviews just to understand what she was trying to say.

Flash Gorden – I concur.

Lizzy - Philadelphia, PA   December 4th, 2008 7:43 pm ET

STOP COVERING SARAH PALIN! NO ONE CARES!!!

Mike from Bham   December 4th, 2008 7:43 pm ET

Oprah dont worry about Palin, she's a nobody, who cares about her, have Obama on the show, he is more interest,

Brenda C   December 4th, 2008 7:42 pm ET

Yeah Andy Sarah knows Oprah is the fat lady.

" there’s never been a night like this on the planet earth… Nothing can compare to this.”........what are you talking about you one minded pig..... i will tell you a secret Oprah .....this happens every time a new president is elected so to say there "has never been a night like this" is stupid. Im surprised you and Sara palin are not good friends considering you both are so near-sighted and ignorant.

Myron   December 4th, 2008 7:42 pm ET

Claire: Maybe b/c you live in Canada, you don't understand. Racism is America's deepest and most damaging wound. This huge step forward to heal that wound has been as significant as anything that's ever happened here.

If you don't like Oprah, pick a different tack to criticize her without denying one of the great moments in U.S. history.

Valerie in FL   December 4th, 2008 7:42 pm ET

CNN...Please stop given this woman air time. No one cares. I personally just want her to go away. There are more important stories to report.

Puzzler   December 4th, 2008 7:41 pm ET

Maybe Palin is so stupid she doesn't realize the power of Oprah Winfrey!

Annie, Atlanta   December 4th, 2008 7:41 pm ET

I'm not surprised. Oprah falls into the non-American category Sarah so ignorantly spoke of during her hate rallies. Plus if you think Katie Couric made Sarah look like an idiot with her softball questions, Oprah would render her speechless. And Sarah knows this.

Brian   December 4th, 2008 7:41 pm ET

Ha ha ha, funny Oprah, you are quickly becoming irrelevant. I believe black presidents have been elected many times before, particularly in Africa.

Jacqui   December 4th, 2008 7:41 pm ET

Waaahhh. She sounds like a whiny child who didn't get her way.

BROOKLYN   December 4th, 2008 7:40 pm ET

I, personally am no Palin fan but in all fairness... Harpo snubbed her during the elections...

She has quite a way of turning things around...

No one cares about either of them!

Lyd   December 4th, 2008 7:40 pm ET

Dear Oprah,..you are a RACIST!! I'll never understand why most of your audience is mostly white women, is that on purpose?

All i smell is a bunch of haters now all of sudden you white people mad because she's a Obama fan, And for sarah palin Oprah does not need her on her show sarah is just small potaoes compared to the big O. And i totally agree with Oprah President Obama's inarguation is going to be the biggest event ever, our civil right leaders worked hard for this day. So why are you peo[le trippn. WTG OBAMA (YES WE DID)

Teachers who Teach   December 4th, 2008 7:40 pm ET

Hollywood – a bane to our culture with their egos. If Oprah engaged her brain before her mouth – she might give thanks to Jesus Christ's birth, What do some of YOU think was a night like none other on the face of the EArth?

AJ   December 4th, 2008 7:39 pm ET

Oprah, this is no longer a story. You don't need her to get ratings. Just have some pregnant dude on again and give away some free cars and move on

Currahee   December 4th, 2008 7:39 pm ET

Ofra thinks she's really hot. The women and men who follow her are are sheeple caught in a cult trance and extremely gullible. Ofra is all about being black, for blacks, and by blacks. A great poet once sang, "You don't have to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows". I'm not even a Palin fan, and Palin doesn't owe Ofra diddly.

Sarah won't appear on Oprah's (lemming, or should it be lame) program, gosh, Sarah's even more intelligent than I thought . . . . . .

Kona   December 4th, 2008 7:39 pm ET

I get the feeling the Sarah Palin has this deep attraction to Obama. You know how when a young kid pretends to hate another kid that she really has a crush on. I think this is just playing itself out with a woman in her 40s. She couldn't have him so she tried to make sure the world couldn't either. Oh well, she still has Todd and the world has its next leader.

quilter v   December 4th, 2008 7:38 pm ET

and since when is Oprah a serious journalist? nice woman, generous to a fault, but why should she have expectations of interviewing any politician? the entire entertainment industry takes itself way too seriously

Frank   December 4th, 2008 7:38 pm ET

Oprah is the biggest (literally) joke ever in Hollywood! Her show is a ridiculous bunch of crap and what has she ever done in her show that has brought any good to anyone? I respect the fact that she has helped poor people in Africa, but I wish she would worry less about being in the spot light and help the poor in our own country; or doesn't she really care about the folks that gave her all she has now?

Good for you Sarah Palin. I wouldn't give Oprah the time of day. She's so racist and to be blunt she's sold her soul to the devil. When she leaves this world in death she's not going to take a dime with her.
Please don't do her show ever.

James S   December 4th, 2008 7:37 pm ET

Oprah is an idiot! Come on "never been anything like it on planet earth". How rediculous is that comment. She is too full of herself, and just needs to go away. I'm tired of her, and I am tired of her pushing her liberal agenda.

Dave   December 4th, 2008 7:36 pm ET

Small minded remark from Oprah and does anybody really care what she thinks.

Obama becoming President is great but doesn' compare to the many historic events recorded.
Oprah behaves like a Rock Star groupie..!!!

Jim   December 4th, 2008 7:32 pm ET

Palin is a patriot with good values and integrity, and Oprah is just a political player. They are as different as day and night. Why would you expect Palin to interact with Oprah if there is a choice?

chuck   December 4th, 2008 7:32 pm ET

Sarah Palin might be needed to clean Oprah's shoes--That's all. Oprah rules the world.

Maryanne   December 4th, 2008 7:32 pm ET

Oprah is getting what she deserves. If she hosts her show and its audience with personal prejudices and bias, why should guests not be the same? Who is she? it goes to show how pathetic and gullible folks are watching such pathetic shows and believing such people. She is a rich snob who does not care about anyone but herself, like the majority of Americans themselves. Wake up, Americans!

Bobby from MS   December 4th, 2008 7:32 pm ET

I hate to break it to all of you left wing idiots again but I am going to, Oprah snubbed Palin during the election and now she is crying because Palin won't do her show.

NEWS FLASH OPRAH, GET OVER YOURSELF. THE WORLD DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND YOU!!!

Oh and why we are talking about Oprah I find it comical she can open a school in South Africa but can not even help out people in her home state of MISSISSIPPI. Way to go Oprah, stay up north.

Good riddins to bad rubbish!

She talked to everyone else before the election why wait till after for Gov. Palin. I wouldn't go either, makes no sense.

No other night like this in history of planet earth !!??

Ridiculous, sounds more like Obama is still the "savior or messiah" to too many people.

Jeff Colby   December 4th, 2008 7:30 pm ET

So first Oprah snubs Governor Palin and now Palin snubs Oprah in return? Ahhh poor Oprah! Maybe Winfrey just isn't as relevant as she thinks she is?! In any case, I applaud Gov. Palin on her staying above the frey and out of the trailer park known as the "Oprah Winfrey Show"

FRANCISCO BALAGTAS   December 4th, 2008 7:30 pm ET

One should be magnanimous in victory......although it seemed that on every front, the GOP has tried to come out of this heated presidential election bitter and angry and has never learned their lessons well (except maybe for their GOP standard-bearer, who showed that he was really an Officer and a Gentleman, bless him!), the rest of them still cultivates in their hearts and minds and in the hearts and minds of their constituents the "holier-than-thou", "i am better than you", ultra-conservative views of the twisted, corrupted and most defiled white immigrant mind who can not accept a president who has a different color than their skin - and that is the most basic issue that we all have to contend with, no matter how they will cover this up with other lame issues. The truth of the matter is, we have President Obama as our 44th president and he has at least 4 years to prove his worth to all of us so let us give him a chance and not foretell what will happen to us even before it happens.
Whether or not Palin will show up in Oprah is beyond the point.....we have to move on....Oprah, your show will be TOPS no matter who you guest in it!

Lee   December 4th, 2008 7:27 pm ET

I love how Oprah is doing a CYA and trying to play the sympathy card. She could care less for Palin, pre or post election... she made that quite clear during the campaign (IMO).

Good for you Sarah... what's good for the goose is good for the gander, only the PC crowd wants it one way.

Missy M   December 4th, 2008 7:26 pm ET

I agree that Obama's election is historic and a wonderful moment in American history, but I'm a bit miffed by Oprah's quote "there’s never been a night like this on the planet earth… Nothing can compare to this.” I have a feeling that countries who have elected black leaders would disagree that "there's never been a night like this on planet earth." There are many countries that have overcome the issue of slavery to elect black leaders. Haiti for example, elected its first black president long before America even ended slavery - and there are lots of other examples.

Winfrey played political favorites and continues to do so. Palin doesn't need Oprah nor the women who idealize her. So good for Palin to play it cool.

It is proven what Plain does for ratings and with Chambiss smoking Martin after Palin stumping in Georgia she has once again proven she is more than a flash in the pan. Yep, Winfrey could sure use Palin. Now, what are the competing networks and shows?

Vegas Barbie for Obama   December 4th, 2008 7:24 pm ET

Palin wouldn't talk to Oprah because Oprah would not throw her soft ball questions like Hannity and the other Repub hacks did. Oprah is a responsible interviewer and would have called Palin out on everything she (Palin) DOESN'T know. No excuses. Without a gun in her hand and a moose in her sight (from a helicopter of course, she would never actually FACE anything, a question or a wild animal), she is a know-nothing tool, and her time in the spotlight is over already...she's not worthy of appearing on Oprah!

Carol   December 4th, 2008 7:24 pm ET

I never listen to anything Sarah Palin guests on. I would have watched her with Oprah, because it would have been interesting to see if she could keep up a decent conversation with a natural woman.

Nag   December 4th, 2008 7:24 pm ET

To Phil A Buster

That Palins children are uneducated is apparent from the fact that her oldest daughter is already pregnant at 17 and is ready to wed her high school droput electrician apprentice boyfriend

Am sure Mama Palin approves of her daughter marrying Levi The Electrician Dude

Donna in California   December 4th, 2008 7:24 pm ET

Some "pitbull". Palin's running scared.

Oprah is wicked smart, and would likely have a question or two that would make Palin VERY uncomfortable... not that Palin would answer an uncomfortable question honestly.

Sarah Palin is absolutely a nobody compared to Oprah Winfrey. I strongly believe that Oprah doesn't give two cents about that creepy woman. Oprah breathes popularity, Sarah will be "gone with the wind" soon!

SP needs to concentrate on her weird family and unemployed, perverted looking husband rather than always trying to be in the spotlight.

J   December 4th, 2008 7:21 pm ET

What does Oprah expect.....she snubbed Sara and that was supposed to be okay. Now, she takes offense when it comes back at her.

Phil A. Buster   December 4th, 2008 7:20 pm ET

For A Woman In California For Obama: What inside information do you have that you can call the Palin children uneducated? Do you have their report cards, letters from their teachers or other documentation. Before you make such a statement make sure that you can back up your allegation. Looking at the Palin children, unless you prove me wrong, they don't look uneducated.

MD   December 4th, 2008 7:18 pm ET

We've seen way too much of Sarah Palin as it is. Sick, sick, sick to death of her. Oprah kept her word by inviting her but we all know she's glad Palin didn't accept. Next...

John   December 4th, 2008 7:18 pm ET

If I was Sara I wouldn't go on a show that has been the voice for the criminal (Obama) either. Sorry that Sara didn't want to be your afterthought...maybe if you had tried to be even a little bit objective she might have considered it.

Kate   December 4th, 2008 7:17 pm ET

Angie-OHIO   December 4th, 2008 7:15 pm ET

if palin(the pitbull in lipstick) did snub Oprah. Oprah should be GLAD. miss talk in circles palin would drive Oprah and the audiance CRAZY. the woman is unable to complete a sentence or a thought. she is dumb as a stump. Oprah should just have her 9 or 10 year old daughter. She would give better answers. If that is true, that is one show I WILL NOT BE WATCHING. And for the people that think Oprah "snubbed pitbull in lipstick", she can have whomever she wants on her show just like fox news.

mk   December 4th, 2008 7:14 pm ET

Do any of these Palin people really think she matters?
She doesn't. She wants to but she doesn't. Except in the narrow minds of the extreme right. And, as we all know, extremisits don't usually care much about anyone but themselves and forcing what they perceive to be moral and correct on everyone else.

to all those: there hasn't ever been a day like this, yes we've had plenty of other historically significant days, but never has a majority white country ever elected any man/woman of any color. So yes, nothing like this has ever happened. Is this the most significant moment ever? Maybe not, that can be debated between people, but has there ever been a specific moment like this? No.

Brenda   December 4th, 2008 7:08 pm ET

First- I am not an Oprah-fanatic! I only watch her show every now and then as I find most of it cheesy. Second- In case you can't read between the lines, Oprah is being gracious when she speaks in a tone to suggest she actually wanted to interview Sarah Palin! Let's face it Palin is nothing but a bunch of sound bites (you betcha!) and colloquialisms -" I represent Joes six pack"-Duh! So, people, don't get it twisted, Oprah doesn't wine and doesn't care if Palin does or doesn't speak to her, she was only being gracious! And life goes on!!!

Smart1   December 4th, 2008 7:07 pm ET

Oprah was just trying to be fair and give the empty headed moose killer a chance to appear on her show. For those right wing idiots on here calling Oprah "fat" , your more than likely fat yourselves. I am sure Palin would rather be fat than stupid as hell. That women only takes interviews from people who don't ask her intelligent questions any how who understands what that goof ball is trying to say anyway"IN AS THERE IS A HOWEVER" BLAH BLAH BLAH . I don't want to hear anything she has to say, I was sick of her during the campaign. The only reason the media is interested in her is because she is a circus clown and they like to make fun of her ignorance. She is a media joke. The Repugs will take any attention they can get even if it's Sara Palin who is a JOKE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and you stupid repugs actually believe in this nut. OMG!

Oprah you had your chance before the election but as they say in the military BOHICA (Bend Over Here it Comes Again). You asked for it you got it Obama. Now that the Democrats do not have the magic number of 60 it looks like your buddy's timetable will be moved back a little due to that great American name Phil A. Buster .

izbot   December 4th, 2008 7:04 pm ET

I wish CNN and other media groups would just stop following Caribou Barbie around like puppy dogs. She's afraid of Oprah. If she's so dumb she thinks Katie Courec is one of those nasty "media elites" she must be terrified of Oprah's questions. Doesn't this woman govern a state? When is she going back to that job? If I were an Alaskan I'd be wanting some answers.

Maggie SC   December 4th, 2008 7:03 pm ET

Now Oprah, since you claim to be so smart and intelligent whay have you not figured that out. Why and what good would it do for Gove Palin to talk to you after the fact. It is like buying a dog to watch the hen house after all the chickens have gone. I felt embarrased for Palin for you to even invite her let alone make comments about it after the election. You are a true CNN show off. I do not watch your show, nor will I ever. I prefer to spend my time doing somethin g worthwhile instead of wasting it on trash. I am proud of Palin and hope she never stoops so low to be on your show. Hurry up and retire, you are getting old news. We need fresh ideas and people who really care instead of those who only pretend to help when they are so so far themselves.

Jennifer   December 4th, 2008 7:02 pm ET

GOOD for Sarah! It was crap that Oprah would express interest in talking to Sarah now after the flimsy excuse of not wanting to use her show as a platform during the campaign. She is a marketable brand and she endorsed Obama just by her presence on the campaign trail. I think she was afraid that having Sarah on her show before election day would sway voters to McCain/Palin. Oprah was biased and now wants to cash in on Sarah Palin's popularity. I say too little too late.

Jim62sch   December 4th, 2008 7:02 pm ET

Sarah Palin is ratings gold – why should she do a favor for Oprah Winfrey?

Oprah can do some more interviews with Michelle Obama, our first Klingon First Lady.

Gloria from Pittsburgh   December 4th, 2008 7:01 pm ET

I have heard all I need to hear of Sarah Palin, all of her negative campaigning was disgusting. They keep trying to push her out there for some reason or other, I'm happy she did not go on Oprah because I don't think she had anything else to say, but I'm sure we haven't heard the last of Sarah....

Amy   December 4th, 2008 7:00 pm ET

Oprah– I wouldn't lose sleep over Palin not wanting to be on your show. You're 1000 times more successful (and smarter!) than Palin would ever be!! And you don't want to kill the brain cells of your viewers who have to listen to her for an hour. My IQ drops just by listening to her try to speak a single sentence!!

Vitus   December 4th, 2008 6:57 pm ET

Oprah, you are lucky that Palin did not talk to you; if she had, I would have boycotted your show forever. Oprah Winfrey Show as much as I know it is a forum for serious-minded people, not president wannabees like Palin.

Oprah is a racist B&%TH!
If her show is suppose to be about "Women" why did she not help Hillary Clinton in her campaign?? She is a FAT pig that needs to stepped down off the throne she thinks she is on!! If I were Sarah I would spit on her! BTW, I did vote for Obama, but I didn't do it for Oprah!!!!!!!

sara   December 4th, 2008 6:54 pm ET

If I were Palin I'd snub her too. Oprah just wants her now because there's no chance it will take votes away from Obama! Get over yourself, Oprah.

Sue   December 4th, 2008 6:52 pm ET

It sickens me that it has become commonplace for women politicians to be expected to wear designer clothes. Palin should have worn normal clothes, and then cried sexism if people "expected" her to be fashionable instead... priorities are twisted in government... HOPEfully this mentality changes.

Nancy, IN   December 4th, 2008 6:50 pm ET

Oprah's right, nothing can compare to this night. She will be in the right place, and so will I. I'm flying from California to be in the nation's captitol on that eventful night.

Now then as far as Obama winning.. He didint go in on the race issue.. and if the 'race issue is to be accepted... maybe we should all just comment on AN AMERICAN MAN won the vote. an American Person will be sworn in. A Patriotic man will be sworn in.......... why does it have to black white purple orange?? really people,,,, we didint do all this when an Irish man won?? or a German man won..... or Italian..... who really cares about race.. when its the brains and the confidance and the authority to get others to follow him.... a LEADER.

Oprah, CNN, Fox can do a show on that too. It should be worth at least few weeks of comments

A Woman In California For Obama   December 4th, 2008 6:37 pm ET

Well now let's see. Oprah Winfrey or Sarah Palin? One has brains, money and clout ALL over the world the other has five uneducated children, a lazy husband and a closet of stolen clothes. Shall I say more?

OBAMA CREATION BY OPRAH , AND OPRAH CALL PREGNANT MAN EVEN SHE IS WOMEN...LIB DONT KNOW WHICH ONE OR MAN

Mike in Oahu   December 4th, 2008 6:36 pm ET

I really don't understand this cult of Oprah in the media. Why is it expected that if Oprah talks everyone has to listen?

How delusional Oprah must be. What a perplexing culture we have become.

C.T.   December 4th, 2008 6:36 pm ET

heh,heh. The republican women in Florida boycotted Oprah. So should Mrs. Palin. Both getting nowhere.

turd ferguson   December 4th, 2008 6:35 pm ET

Oprah's an idiot. Never been a bigger day in history? Give me a break. Get over yourself and your little puppet president-elect.

Bill   December 4th, 2008 6:34 pm ET

Wow, did you feel that? I guess that's what it feels like when the world stops revolving around Oprah Winfrey. Kind of a nice feeling, isn't it? Get over yourself, Oprah.

3strikes   December 4th, 2008 6:34 pm ET

palin doesnt need oprah, palins better than that. oprah can go somewhere and pray to her nobama god, she probably put up a shrine already, praising her false prophet. she had her head up where the sun doesnt shine all this time for nobama, probably just to see and be a part of "history". the new slogan america will be taking up in 2012 is "nobama change failed, we need republican reform and palin power!!!".

PALIN POWER

leave alaska alone   December 4th, 2008 6:32 pm ET

Good, I don't want to have to watch Oprah pretend that this woman ever made any sense. Stick with smart people Oprah.

KarenB, Florida   December 4th, 2008 6:31 pm ET

someone call the wahhh-mbulance! Oprah ...harpy spelled backwards–oops harpO..... Why should Sarah Palin waste her time with you.

Tyrone Brown   December 4th, 2008 6:31 pm ET

The less we have to hear from or about Sarah Palin the better. My prayers were answered on November 4th when we elected Barack Obama our next President and kept McCain's cynical choice for a running mate from being a heartbeat away from the Presidency.

God Bless the United States of America!

Go whine somewhere else Oprah!!!! You are so biased, I'm glad Sara didn't give you the time of day. Do some exercise or something, not only does it relieve stress, you might actually lose some of that weight.

boered1   December 4th, 2008 6:30 pm ET

who cares if she did? oprah, for all her self aggrandizment, is NOT a serious interviewer or reporter she is simply a daytime talk show host much like Phil Donahue in the past, all fluff no substance.
I do NOT like Caribou Barbie AT ALL but even I see no reason for her going on Oprah's show.

Also while I am an AVID Obama supporter I do not think his inauguration is the most important thing ever to happen or to use Oprah's own words "there’s never been a night like this on the planet earth… Nothing can compare to this.”

The fact is every four years we have something that can compare to it, the peaceful transfer of power for the head of a major power in the world, something before the USA came around that was NOT a normal occurance the fact that it is Obama this time, and he happens to be black, makes it no more amazing that this peaceful change occurs. Sorry Oprah, and those other politically correct whiners, but electing a black man means little to me and even less to the country what is MUCH more important is that we elected a THINKING amn someone who is not afraid or opposed to scientific thought and research who can see outside the bible. That has not been done for a long time in this country now if we can only get the radical right and the looney left to stop blaming each other for all the problems and accept a discussion and concensus we will REALLY have something huge!

Suz in PA   December 4th, 2008 6:30 pm ET

Who gives a flying leap! Oprah girl, I'm sure you're not fretting over this has been.

Laidetea   December 4th, 2008 6:29 pm ET

Oprah is into Fatburgers not Moose Burgers.

Ken in Dallas   December 4th, 2008 6:29 pm ET

Oprah, what's your secret?

Inquiring minds want to know how to get Palin to stop talking.

km   December 4th, 2008 6:29 pm ET

Laugh out loud funny!

Oprah did what she could to help Obama win, that means not giving air time to his rivals during election time. It hardly matters if Palin comes to the show now or not. It changes nothing. Oprah is pretty smart at that, she also kept her word.

Pepe Le Pew   December 4th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

All of those interviews that Palin did with Greta, Lauer, and King were BORING!!! Her rambling just went on and on and on..... I'm not a Palin or Oprah fan, but it's Palin's loss!

Cindy   December 4th, 2008 6:27 pm ET

There are plenty of hosts Sarah can still go to. There are plenty of guests Oprah can still interview.

Neither need each other. This is a non issue.

Juan Grain   December 4th, 2008 6:27 pm ET

Don't worry Oprah, she is a looser, a soar looser. She should us how soar in the gov meeting. I guess God answered her prayer and she did not like the answer.

Georgia is going blue 2!   December 4th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

Oprah and Palin are polar opposites.

CHANGE HAS COME TO AMERICAN - FINALLY!!!   December 4th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

sarah pain-lin is a deucebag – I wouldn't want to see her racoon eating behind on anyones couch blabbing incoherently!

good for oprah!!!!

Mitch   December 4th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

Oprah doesn't need to dumb her show down anymore. Tom Cruise was enough....but putting Palin on would be the equivalent of putting a tree stump on the show. Both Palin and the stump have about the same intellect.

jbencollins   December 4th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

Again, please stop paying attention to Mrs. Moose. Like the high school girl she really is, she thrives on it.

jj   December 4th, 2008 6:25 pm ET

Sarah palin should count herself lucky even to be invited to oprah,s show.

Holly   December 4th, 2008 6:25 pm ET

I love Oprah, but I suppose the night WW2 ended, or the Berlin Wall came down, "may" have been comparable to Obama's inauguration. She needs to get a grip.

An American   December 4th, 2008 6:25 pm ET

Good – I hope she never talks to you!!

Flash Gorden /-\   December 4th, 2008 6:24 pm ET

Harpo/Oprah should feel thankful. It wasn't a snub, it was a miracle! She [Palin] does not deserve to be on her show. Now, G-O A-W-A-Y...

RV   December 4th, 2008 6:24 pm ET

great not only do we have to be known as the City where a great president was killed now we have to be known where the worst president moved too. can we catch a break?? Cowboys? Mavs? dont hold your breath!!

Jeremy   December 4th, 2008 6:24 pm ET

Guys get real- who really cares what u think. She is a billionare and doesnt care whether Sarah Palin talks to her or not. HAlf of you leaving comments are just pissed that Oprah did what Oprah wants. At the end of the day- you guys are just as broke as u were yesterday. Get over it- she doesnt need Palin and half of you leaving comments.

once upon a horse   December 4th, 2008 6:23 pm ET

wow.......Obama haters are OPRAH haters as well, huh? Do I sense a strange connection here by chance?

dizizi31   December 4th, 2008 6:22 pm ET

Why is Sara Palin still in the news? CNN do you miss her?

KG   December 4th, 2008 6:22 pm ET

Simple case of "he said, she said." Can you believe Oprah? Who knows. Rumors were she didn't invite her. So she says she did. Did she? There are no facts to cooberate her story whatsoever. Besides, I truly doubt Gov Palin good give a rat about Oprah or her fluff-filled circus of a show.

kathie ann   December 4th, 2008 6:22 pm ET

and again who gives a care

Gary, Georgia   December 4th, 2008 6:22 pm ET

Who died and made Oprah God? I swear, she thinks that whatever she wants she gets. I'm glad Palin did not talk to hear. Oprah had her head so far up Obama's hindend during the campaign it was unbelievable! It would suit me fine if I never had to hear anything this "so called unbiased woman" has to say!

Farrell, Houston, Tx   December 4th, 2008 6:22 pm ET

Palin has been put on notice by the Republican Governors and by Obama that the election is over, so there is nothing left for her to sprew hate about. And frankly who wants to hear about her moose hunting, moose stew and wolf killing. Palin is done not unless she can come up with something new to put the GOP back in the game and I seriously doubt that.

Ms. B in California   December 4th, 2008 6:21 pm ET

That would have been an interesting show to say the least. Oprah, Katie or Hillary asking her intelligent questions and her answering them like only Sarah could. I certainly would have watched that show. But then, what kind of questions could you have asked her? "Give us that recipe for Moose soup?"

What could she possibly say interesting that would have taken up an hour?

Barbara in NC   December 4th, 2008 6:20 pm ET

Who is Sara Palin? I must have missed something.

Wendy   December 4th, 2008 6:20 pm ET

Elections are over time to come together. Sarah shoudn't be so devisive.

deb   December 4th, 2008 6:19 pm ET

Well, here we go again...more Oprah bashing by the right wing nut jobs! If you'd read the article she simply stated the facts...that Sarah had talked to others but not her. How is that a negative against Oprah?

What gets me is how all of the right wingers get so upset whenever any celebrity says ANYthing at all about a politician! They are just as much Americans as anyone else and have a right to speak their minds! And, yes, many are EDUCATED and know what they are talking about. There are just as many educated celebrities (if not more) as are in the general public.

Ed from PA   December 4th, 2008 6:19 pm ET

Oprah does not belong on the political ticker. Period.

Lost in Texas FOREVER   December 4th, 2008 6:18 pm ET

I kind of think that unlike some of the other interviews that Gov Palin has done, an interview with Oprah may not be as friendly. Gov Palin made some accusations during the election about Obama that weren't all together true or founded, plus her rallies did tend to attract a say less than friendly crowd with sometimes even racist things being said and jeered, I'm sure Gov Palin may not want to be put on the spot with this by the "queen of daytime". She already did NOT seem too comfortable at the governor's meeting with Pres-elect Obama there. Yet if she DOES go on the show more power to her.

carol   December 4th, 2008 6:18 pm ET

I doubt Oprah could have had an intelligent conversation with Sarah Palin anyway......nobody else has!!!!

G   December 4th, 2008 6:18 pm ET

You should be thankful Oprah after she called Obama basically a terrorist and stood there while people yelled out kill him I would not like to see her on your show ever! I will not forget that and you are better off without her as a guest.

Darrel from Denver   December 4th, 2008 6:16 pm ET

Fine with me. No interest in seeing Palin at all and not a fan of the show.

Scott   December 4th, 2008 6:16 pm ET

Boo Hoo. Poor Doprah!

Matt   December 4th, 2008 6:16 pm ET

Yes Oprah, there have been other events in the history of planet earth that can compare to Barack Obama being elected President.

Exagerrate much?

Godluvr   December 4th, 2008 6:16 pm ET

Oprah does not need SP to get ratings like the others do!

I understand the media thing, and the temptation to be In-The-Loop by having the 15-minute famer on your shows. But this time, it's not necessary. Let it go Oprah – Please let her go!

diane   December 4th, 2008 6:15 pm ET

I bet when Palin has a book to promote she will begging Oprah to interview her.

Brian G, Sugar Land, TX   December 4th, 2008 6:15 pm ET

Oprah, do you really care? We don't.
An interview with Palin is like an interview with "Joe the Plumber" guy...BORING!

I'm Not Missing The Old Mule & Winky Half-baked Alaska   December 4th, 2008 6:15 pm ET

Naw! Palin isn't qualified or talented enough to clean up after Oprah's dogs! Tell her to get her frozen Litle Miss Ice Chip behind back to ALA-A-A-SKA to do herself some privileged governin' also bless her heart too you bet'cha gosh darn it!

California Gold   December 4th, 2008 6:14 pm ET

I'm sorry but Oprah Winfrey is annoying. After Winfrey supported Obama and refused to interview anyone during the election, does it now seem like a "snub" that Palin decides to interview with other people? It's not all about Oprah Winfrey. Palin also has a say in who she wants to use as a platform to promote herself. What would be the quid pro quo with Oprah? Truthfully there are plenty of people who will jump when Oprah snaps her fingers. Maybe Palin feels discriminated against because Oprah is liberal and Palin is conservative. Maybe she just doesn't want to sit down with Winfrey. Snub implies more than this story has on face value.

esther   December 4th, 2008 6:14 pm ET

Hearing Oprah compare herself to Matt Lauer & Larry King and suggest that Obama's inauguration will be the greatest thing on planet earth reminds me why I can't take her seriously. I am a huge Obama supporter, but for heaven's sake.

Rachel   December 4th, 2008 6:13 pm ET

I am not a sara palin fan, but good for sara. Oprah what's your beef waaaah waaaah. Oprah just because you say you can speak to me now doesnt mean they have to come running. Sara will probably be happy to talk to you in about oh say 4 years lol. Why should she let you makee ratings off her make ratings off the one.

Va. Boomer   December 4th, 2008 6:12 pm ET

Calling doctor Phil, calling doctor phil, Please come talk to Oprah, and have her stop jumping on the couch. I think she is hysterical about this president.
I mean...., I like him too, but, you have to stop jumping up and down on the couch Oprah. Someone call tom cruise, and we can have a double dose of jumping. : )

Dorothy in NC   December 4th, 2008 6:12 pm ET

I was delighted that Oprah did not invite Sarah Palin to be on her show and why should she give her exposure when she was for Obama. If it were my show, I wouldn't have either.

As for Palin snubbing Oprah, I don't think Oprah cares and either do we. Just because the media keeps her in the news for every little thing doesn't mean we care.

Reatte Beaumont, Texas   December 4th, 2008 6:11 pm ET

I hope that Sarah never talks with the so called non bias talk show waman. Oprah at all that.

Fair 'Nough   December 4th, 2008 6:11 pm ET

Way to go Sarah!!!! Oprah had her head buried up somewhere else too badly during the election to recognize you then, she doesn't need the rating points now. Stand your ground.

KJL   December 4th, 2008 6:09 pm ET

Oprah doesn't kiss butt. Palin is afraid to get near her.

Chris   December 4th, 2008 6:09 pm ET

Well, gee, I wonder why, Oprah. Is it because you "snubbed" her during the campaing?

Those other people you mentioned are real journalists. You brought us Dr Phil.

Get real, oprah.

Californiaaaa   December 4th, 2008 6:08 pm ET

She wasn't happy that Oprah refused to buy her a $150,000 wardrobe for her show appearance, so she threw a tantrum, took her ball and went to play with the others

Soccer Nana   December 4th, 2008 6:08 pm ET

Don't worry about it Oprah; you have never had "candidates" who are actually in the running for public offices on your show before and there was no need to change your rules for Palin. It is her loss, not yours.

A Really Conservative Realist   December 4th, 2008 6:07 pm ET

Yes Mrs. "God is Everything" Oprah. Yes Mrs. "My God is Not Jealous" Oprah....My bad, Ms. Oprah Winfrey. She just lives with the guy. I must agree. There has NEVER been a day like this. This is bigger than the first Easter...

Voter   December 4th, 2008 6:06 pm ET

Who cares?

Love Huckabee   December 4th, 2008 6:03 pm ET

Not one cares about Palin, but the media. Get over it CNN!!

Peter TX   December 4th, 2008 5:59 pm ET

what?! who cares, I pray Oprah never invite her, NEVER! ! !
