How can Oprah build 65 houses (so far) since Katrina and FEMA
can't even get trailers delivered?

It's obscene.

3. That's pretty much what she said, in a nicer way,...
"I'm just one person, we have a whole government and country full of people to help" and then she repeated "I'm just one person, we have a government..."

4. As much as Oprah is disparaged on DU, she's getting things
done. She's not a politician, but she's putting her money and fame where her mouth is, and I give her a vast amount of credit for that. She's getting exposure for Katrina survivors; as one said today, she's a human angel!

6. I have never disparaged Oprah.
I totally admire that woman.

I even get a savage glee from her wealth.

7. I didn't mean you, but there are a few threads on DU
about how 'bad' Oprah is. I don't see it that way, but I'm not wasting any brain cells arguing. And yes, I can't even imagine what that wealth must feel like. She must be liberal because she has a huge heart (okay, and pocketbook)!

5. Tell me about it!

Today, FEMA called me to make arrangements for me to have a trailer. :shrug:

I told them I had one, but they insisted I didn't. :argh:
