I have watched your show, bought your books, and magazines,but first indorsing Obama, and then to carry on as you did after the election, was too much for me to handle, I always thought you were a person of the people,now I see your not,Your raceism,has come into play. I am white, and you were the one person I admired, I didn't look at your color, I looked at you as a person, and I respected you, defended you, no more. Thanks for the journey.Lorraine Perrotta

: Wow, what a week! To listen day after day to
: the one sided and narrow minded views being
: shoved in your fans faces by your biased and
: select group of guests is so sad and
: disappointing. Years ago when you were
: still at WJZ TV I was a young intern there
: who admired you greatly. I have follow your
: career faithfully. It is not your support
: of Obama that has offended me. I actually
: admire him. I am please that he will be our
: president. He appears to be a good man of
: principal. What has sickened me is the
: constant denial of the racist element in the
: election. It is also appauling to hear the
: sly trashing and utter disrespect of
: Governor Sarah Palin. First the racist
: issue. I cannot tell you how many black
: American's that have been glorified on TV
: for voting for the first time
: ever....glorified! One women was 102 years
: old...not voted based on color or creed is
: just as pathetic as voting for color or
: creed. Today President Elect Obama referred
: to himself as a "mutt". I
: respected him so much for that! He is, as
: so many of us, "a mix of many"
: wonderful colors and nationalities. I feel
: that we are seeing reverse
: discrimination...discrimination is never OK
: in any venue, yet your at at the forefront
: cheering such actions on. Mr. Obama is both
: Black and White...he is the best of all of
: us so why the focus on race. Your
: guest,Gloria Steinam suggested that Palin
: was used...playing the woman minority
: card...Palin like Obama isn't as experienced
: but both are fresh and intelligent...and
: both extremely capable of learning and
: surrounding themselves with the right
: people. Our country has been blessed with
: three decades of growth and prospriety.
: Both democrate and republican parties were
: responsible of these amazing years. Now we
: are in a "free fall" and again you
: are kidding yourself if you think one party
: or one president is to blame...there have
: been many hands in the pie and many
: mistakes made. Mistakes can be
: corrected...coming together and taking the
: best ideas from all will bring the best
: future for our country. Your one sided view
: insults and separates our nation...you are
: hurting this transition not helping. You
: have done so much good with your show and
: your celebrity status...please don't change
: now. Sincerely, Melanie Koorey
