Now I would sooner eat worms and stick a fork in my eyes before watching Oprah, but I've heard a couple people mention something she and her "panel" said in yesterday's show (January 7). Apparently there was a rather distraught guest on her show who was worried that the current economic situation would make her lose her business and her home and that sort of thing, and Oprah's response was sit there and basically reassure her that things are going to be fine and that she should be grateful for what she has. At one point she allegedly said something like this woman should be thankful that she's still *breathing*.
I mean, it sounds like an uncomfortable "let them eat cake" moment if ever there was one. There is no way she or some of the others on the show could possibly relate to these feelings of helplessnesss and futility, so to even pretend they could is comical and even a bit offensive.
