Here is all you want to know about the Sarah Palin Oprah Nov. 16, 2009 interview. The Alaska governor meets her pop-culture nemesis on live TV. The video is here just as soon as it is available, meanwhile you can enjoy Oprah on Sarah Palin back in the day when she tried to have it both ways.
Way back in 2008 during the election season, the heavyweight of daytime television interviewed Barack Obama three times on her show but refused to interview Palin. Eyebrows were raised at the time but her fans gave Oprah a pass. After all these years, they did not begrudge her a little campaign bias on the public airwaves for another hometown Chicagoan of color.
That was then and this is now.
Sarah Palin has a book to sell now and Oprah has elected to stop making excuses for the lackluster performance of her candidate. Ironically, the media’s campaign season knock on Palin has become the President’s own axe to bear. Many now believe he is unprepared to govern a large country.
This will undoubtedly be the underlying interest in the Sarah Palin Oprah Nov. 16 2009 interview on live television. Will Palin’s gubernatorial experience surprise viewers? And will Oprah admit that bias served her viewers and the country poorly? Don’t bet on it.
Said Oprah at the time, “At the beginning of the presidential campaign, when I decided that I was going to take my first public stance in support of a candidate, I made the decision not to use my show as a platform for any of the candidates.”
But that is exactly what she did on behalf of Barack Obama who appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show twice before and in countless campaign stops with the presidential candidate. This will be Sarah Palin’s first appearance on Oprah a year too late. One prominent Obama supporter agreed at the time: “she’s being two-faced.”
Since then Oprah has lost a huge ton of viewers, partly because of the perceived partisanship. It is no wonder that the Oprah - Palin interview is occurring during sweeps month in what may be an attempt to prop up advertising rates.
Curious as to reader’s thoughts. Was Oprah two-faced, and if so does it really matter now? Are you glad to finally see the Sarah Palin - Oprah Nov. 16 interview happen?

It is time for Oprah to show the world that she can support another smart woman. We could have a woman president if the women would support someone of the same sex. Come on women of our great country.

A guest appearance by pretty, popular, prestigious Sarah Palin will be a tremendous ratings boost for Oprah’s rather shopworn program.

Are you crazy. This is going to be a comedy. Sarah Palin is a joke and you sound like one also. There is Oprah does not need Sarah Palin. Palin needs Oprah to try and sell her book.

The joke’s on Oprah!Palin is soaring while Oprah’s favorite President is revealing to the world just how incompetent he is…

An interview that is long overdue. Let’s see if both can come together and really look at & discuss issues without the bias that our traditional media/blogs pounce on for political advantage…from both party’s. I look forward to seeing these two women, both admirable for different reasons, sit & discuss as real people. The haters out there, on both sides, need to check their BS at the door. Most of us in America are glad this is happening.

SARAH should not lower herself to this LEVEL WHICH IS BELOW HER DIGNITY TO APPEAR ON OPRAH’S SHOW TO BRING CLASS TO THIS TWO FACED HYPOCRIT RACIST THAT WHITE AMERICA BUILT UP AND MADE HER ALL THESE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. WE SHOULD BOYCOTT HER AND ALL OF FILTHY IMMORAL HOLLYWOOD. I DO BOYCOTT THEM AND have for several years this EVIL WEALTHY HATE AMERICA BUNCH. GOD BLESS AMERICA—-PRAY FOR AMERICA LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER PRAYED BEFORE.

Take another Xanax Catherine V, the New Order is coming. The political pendulum is swinging back but it won’t stop in the middle.

The previous two comments are perfect examples of what I meant about “both sides checking their BS at the door”. Though Catherine V is the obvious “over the top” winner in nonconstructive ranting, Hondo’s smug & superior attitude speaks volumes, and doesn’t help the debate. No one should feel threatened by either Oprah or Sarah Palin, and an honest disagreement with either woman’s position doesn’t need to generate such hatred or distain. Both these women have much in their lives to be admired (not worshipped), and both have their area’s of “walking with a limp”. If they can have a dialouge that is civil and constructive for them personally, as well as for other woman to gleen a few new facts, thoughts, and impressions from….then I say it will be a positive interview to do. Stop acting like bullies on the playground who think their side is best/and or winning. Pull in your claws, sit down, shut up and listen. Just maybe you’ll learn something, and wouldn’t that be nice for the rest of us.

Palin is so full of her dumb self, can’t wait to see her being stupid again under a real interview. Love Oprah for what she is and her…talk show, not news as some people like to claim themselves to be (Fox?)…
