I've never watched her show, but whenever I think of her I remember her delivering the news in Baltimore. But I admire her savvy and her style. Face it, whether fairly or not, she started with no more than the rest of us and ended up her.

My mother really likes Oprah. I would say hello if I passed her on the street but that is really it.

I have seen some of her shows. I liked the "favorite things" shows. I think she has done some good promoting products fromm small companies. Overall I also interpret her message as "there is nothing you can't do".
