Obama deserves “respect”: Oprah

Talk show host tells critics to ease off the president

Oprah is asking some of Barack Obama’s fiercest critics to “show some level of respect” and try to put themselves in the presidents shoes. “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,” Oprah said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” show in Chicago. The television mogul added that, “even if you’re not in support of his policies, there needs to be a certain level of respect.”
