Oprah demands respect for Obama

WASHINGTON - Oprah Winfrey has demanded from US President Barack Obama’s critics that they should “show some level of respect.”

“I feel that everybody has a learning curve, and I feel that the reason why I was willing to step out for him was because I believed in his integrity and I believed in his heart,” the Politico quoted her as saying on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” in Chicago.

Winfrey added, “I think everybody complaining ought to try it for once.”

She said the presidency is a position that “holds a sense of authority and governance over us all,” and that “even if you’re not in support of his policies, there needs to be a certain level of respect.” (ANI)
