No Oprah and the rest of the MSM need to apologize for treating our President like crap. Our elected Republican leaders need to stop cowering in fear over what the MSM might say about them and come out and fight back.

We do owe an apology.

I am sorry, people of New Orleans, that your Governor and Mayor were too apathetic before, and too inept after Hurricane Katrina. I am truly, truly sorry.

And one other thing that is REALLY, REALLY bothering me and, as a resident of the hurricane-ridden state of Florida I have a right to comment, why is it that NO OTHER hurricane hit state in our country's most recent history has had one 100th the problems that poor N.O. has had?

It WASN'T a GAS MASK. It was a paper mask, like people wear in the hospital or when working in "dusty" environments. GEESH!

I think Oprah is doing more harm then good. America is opening their hearts with unprecendented generousity to the people of New Orleans. To suggest Americans need to appologize because of failures due mostly at the local and state levels, will rub 50% of Americans the wrong way and will dry up support (donations).

I wonder if she would have done half as much if she weren't going to get any publicity for it.

And what is her take on the crackheads, gang-bangers and thugs who made the rescue efforts impossible for three days? Are we supposed to apologize for them, too?

"I think ... this country owes these people an apology" – referring to the survivors for their treatment after the disaster struck and to those who were left to die as help failed to arrive.

No ... the Officials of LA and NO owe them an apology

The rest of the Nation has been coming to their aid

Oprah was a disgrace yesterday on her show. I watched only 5 minutes and she was blaming our President in no uncertain terms. And she had the N.O. Mayor with her along with all of Hollywood. This is about to snow ball. Oprah said did this happen because of the color of skin... and the Mayor walked off... they are blaming this on race. UNREAL! Oprah will never be watched in my house ever again!

Oprah needs to study the timeline facts rather than offer her opinion based on *withering violet emotion*. Better yet, she should just shut up.

Hey Oprah how about taking 1/10 of your property and offering to the people of NOLA's as an apology for us?

Hell give the 40 acres and a mule each.

Maybe you can do something in conjunction with that other rich african americian terri kerry.

Oprah - read this the next time you're on the toilet:

"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts." -Bertrand Russell

You, Oprah, are bunched with the fools and fanatics.

Oprah should require an apology from mother nature. What the heck did we have to do with that! The people should have left, the mayor should have ordered it, the Gov should have ordered it....

Oprah should have been there to help. With her $$$ she could do it all by herself!

I am sorry that a couple of hundred buses sat on a parking lot and got flooded while thousands of residents suffered all over the city.

Dear Oprah,

You have done enough to this culture, your incendiary navel gazing has feminized us to the point of hysteria.

You are silly and unserious.

Leave these survivors alone, they survived, they are strong, and grateful to be alive, stop trying to convince them that they are going to be victims AGAIN, and for eternity.

Filthy, guilty rich can apologize for their wealth by kowtowing to the huddled masses. You're in a league of your own, Oprah. Leave me out of it.
