Could there be a worse person than Oprah? She's worth Billions, yet when the numbers don't add up, she kicks her loyal, hard-working employees to the curb. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/entertainmentnewsbuzz/2012/03/layoffs-and-restructring-at-oprah-winfreys-beleaguered-own-channel.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+newsandbuzz+(News+%26+Buzz) |

Maybe I as a little tough on her. I guess even the billionaires are struggling and deserve our sympathy, too. |

The impacts of a president do not end at some predetermined time after they have left office. Policies and actions can affect matters 10-20 years down the road. Defining an economy as one presidents is stupid. Both Obama and Bush have had hands in where our situation is right now. |

Yeah. Bush brought us to the depths and Obama is gradually bringing us back to the light. |

What does her wealth have to do with retaining employees? Are they employees for life just because she is loaded? |

Well, this new Oprah Network, whatever it is called, ain't working out so well. Offhand, if you asked where it was on my cable system, I couldn't even tell ya. |

Worth does not equal income nor cash on hand. Oprah does not have a billion dollars to spend. |

she will get a pass because she is a lib. and has the best of intentions, no business common sense, but deep pockets that she can throw money at the problem until her financial advisers say it's time to cut back the work force and restructure Just ask the man at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, no business experience or common sense, but he likes to spread the wealth (your wealth, your tax dollars) as he bets on winners and losers. If he lucks out and these green companies actually turn a profit and keep from going belly-up he wins re-election, if they lose, people start noticing how incompetent he is and retire him. Those that drank the Kool-Aid in 2008 will never notice his incompetence, they will just say he's really, really unlucky. What we need now is more hope and change. |

The CEO's personal wealth and the business structure that works best for a particular business venture are unrelated. Do you think that a CEO with $10 Billion in personal wealth should be making different business decisions than one with $10,000 in personal wealth when overseeing the exact same business? If you do you must be one of those cons and there is simply no hope for you. Cons will be the ruin of this nation. |

You can blame Oprah, but even she is not the boss... the Discovery Channel people invested $300 million and all these Oprah hanger-oners who had little to no network programming experience are being let go. These are overpaid ($100,000 a year salaries) and underworked paper pushers and mid-level execs. http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118049296 |
