Of course in life it's someone's dream that makes other people help him or her.
If Oprah didn't have a dream she couldn't be helped. It's her hard work that has paid for what she's today.
Why would the so called women in FL decide to OPRAH what she should do? They can only suggest but they can't force her to do what her convictions do not agree with. If she feels she doesn't want to host Sarah P on her show why should it cause such a cacophony with the GOP? There are better things that the GOP can do.
Leave OPRAH alone and if the GOP "women" in FL won't support her show, that's up to them but the good news is that more new people will support her anyway.
