Dr. Phil How Could You!!!

It wouldn't surprise me in the least to find out Oprah is behind this. In my opinion Ophra is one of the most racist people I have ever heard talk. I like her shows and often watch her but it's obvious she's all about her own breed of people.

One may never know. Does it really matter who's opinion? If it was Oprah's, and he said it, then he must also believe it.

Obummer's band of Bamaloonies ROFLMFAO omg thats PRICELESS!!!! On that note though, I've not been keeping up with any of it..I really dont do politics for starters and since I can't vote over here I guess its just irrelivent to me really

Last I heard, if you were born in the United States, you automatically became a citizen. Why does everyone think those Mexicans cross illegally near the end of their pregnancies? Once that baby is born here (US), they get automatic citizenship. And because they're so young, mom has to stay too. Obama's mom fell in love with an African man, and chose to honor & respect him with his culture's name. Obama grew up within his white mother's family. WHY are people still making a big phucking deal nearly a year after the election? I'm just amazed (read:heavy sarcastic voice) that we got through an election without having endless recounts! Ever think it was because a man whose last name is a derogatory nickname for woman's privates? Folks, you really need to quit worrying about this kind of stuff --I'm sure if there was any truth to it, the FBI or CIA would have proven him a fraud by now. Next thing, you'll blame the market problems that began 2 to 3 YEARS ago!

Knowing what his political opinions have been, it is certainly unusual for him to do an about face. I think that there might be some pressure coming from every side, not just Oprah. And it seems to be the "popular" thing to do nowadays among the media. I don't think Oprah would give him an ultimatum, but I think she would certainly express her displeasure with him if he didn't do it. And he may feel like he has to keep her happy, even thought he wouldn't lose his job. If he caved for that reason, I say what a wuss.

I don't know, I do know if he is going to stay on Oprah's good side he is going to have to defend Obama. I think the birth certificate should be released but I think it is more important to have a court case that answers the question of whether Obama is a natural born citizen. A natural born citizen has two citizen parents. Obama's father was not a US citizen.

I don't know, and I guess one will never know. I don't worry too much if two friends happen to have the same political alliance. My husband and I are both Obama fans (Hubby's American) and we both support the liberals up here in Canada (I'm Canadian). The fact that we agree politically is GREAT because he can vote in American elections, I can vote in Canadian ones, and both of our opinions get noticed on both sides of the border. However, cynics could argue that we are Mr. & Mrs. Same vote, or something. Hell, we don't even have the same last name. Why would we only vote for a politician or party, because our spouse did? I am going to give Phil the benefit of the doubt, and hope that he voted for the candidate of his choice. I would still enjoy his show even if he voted for McCain, who I personally did not like, but just because I didn't like McCain doesn't mean I have a problem with my friends who did, or any other politician for that matter.

I've never been a particular fan of Dr. Phil's, in fact I kind of think he's a pain in the neck, but I really have no reason to think what he's said is anything BUT his own opinion. I know I didn't get MY opinion from Oprah or anyone else...lol! Annie

Personally I cant stand doctor Phil.... He is a pompous a$$ and I think he often does more damage than good to people who come on his show for help... He is quite simply a grand stander and says and does things on his show more for cheers than according to what his psychology degree says he should do.... I have heard rumors that he doesnt even have a degree but i think he actually does....he just doesnt respect it... Yes Oprah owns Dr Phils show and makes a ton off of it but as for their personal relationship they had a falling out several years ago... However I am a little dissapointed at the way Oprah acts at times to so Im not saying she is a saint either but then who is... I honestly believe that in time "the truth" will come out about Dr Phil...I get an uneasy feeling about him and i get the feeling he is really a sleezeball.... He is on top right now...but how many times has someone been there until their family FINALLY breaks their silence and tells everyone what a scumbag that person really is? I believe that is what will eventually happen to Phil too...of course I have nothing to base this on....just my gut feeling about him... And I thought the same thing about Dr Oz that someone else mentioned....I really like him and I hope he doesnt let the show go to his head and become a puppet like Phil has!!

[b]He seems to be his own man in all things, so I'm thinking this is his mindset. I'm not surprised he's not studied the evidence, but has been persuaded by the propaganda. I was when Ann Coulter thought "birthers" were nuts! I would have sworn she'd do the homework & find out the truth! I like Dr. Phil, but lately his show just hasn't done much for me. Too mushy or something. Maggiepie "OBAMA IS AN 'UNDOCUMENTED WORKER.'"[/b]

I don't watch either Dr. Phil or Oprah, so I have no idea whether or not he has the courage to buck his producer. He seems fairly popular with the general public, so I would think he could get another producer if he had to and would, therefore, have the courage to say what he believes. I do think there are some people who "get on the bandwagon," so to speak, and go along because it's the "in" thing to do or because they don't want to make the effort to find out what's true.

Heather- Dr. Phil is just someone who got famous because of Oprah. Though, he does present some good ideas in his books, his shows are almost out of control. He's been in trouble for violating patient confidentiality among other things. I do like him though, despite my feelings regarding Oprah right now. That said, I think it's wonderful he's standing up for Obama. Namaste-Anora

EWEWWEREE , tough question. I've always enjoyed, respected Dr. Phil, but really never a big fan of Oprahs. Not sure here. The one thing I am sure of is I am not a Bamaloonie !!! Keep watching and see if you can pick up on anything and then let us all know. quita88

I've never really been a fan of the so called "Dr." Phil or his show. I've never really liked watching someone capitalize on other people airing their dirty laundry for the sake of entertainment. People like him rather disgust me actually. I'm sure a lot of his viewers think he is a real psychologist but he is not. He used to be at one time but stopped practicing years ago and he let his license lapse back in 2006 so the term "doctor" can only refer to his level of education (Ph.D). If he was ever any good at it, I think he would still be doing it and not what he is doing now, which by his own words has nothing to do with psychology and everything to do with entertainment. I think it's pretty apparent that he knows who butters his bread and he's not going to do anything to jeopardize that, no matter what his personal feelings or political beliefs might be. What he does, he does for the money and maybe the fame, nothing more, so I suspect he's been told just what his opinion is.

I never liked him and it is possible that he had to to keep show grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Well, I guess everyone, most especially those who think they're popular, has the greed for power and would like to have a shot at politics. It's sad though that sooner or later they'll be sucked up by greed and they'll never be the same again. Regardless who the Devil's advocate is, if a person's personality is really weak when it comes to self-control, then they could easily be influenced. I just hope that people stop looking at politics as the way to go, we lose good people that way.
