With the seventh anniversary of the September 11th terror attacks approaching us within the next few weeks, media queen Oprah Winfrey reportedly has big plans to mark the day on a positive note.
According to 'The New York Post,' Winfrey is attempting to feature every American Olympic gold medalist from the recent
Now that's could be golden -- only if it was true.
Agents for several Olympic athletes including Ronda Rousey, who mentioned via her website that she would be participating in the show, were contacted by Winfrey's producers about taking part on the special.
Although the show has yet to be etched in stone, a spokesman for Winfrey allegedly told the 'Post' that the taping would center on the winning 36 gold medals at the Beijing Olympics instead of the remembering the September 11 attacks.
"Rather than focus on the tragedy of the attack seven years on, an Olympic-champions show would be an irresistible piece of patriotism - marking the day with a positive note."
In communicating to Blackvoices.com on Aug. 29, a rep for Harpo, Inc. said the previous reports were inaccurate and clarified that Winfrey "will feature 150 Olympic medalists on the season premiere that airs September 8."Details for Sept. 11 show were not available at presstime.

If Oprah wanted to do a "Blockbuster 9-11" show, she'd invite the Bush Fly to explain our current political situation and why she became political. She'd explain how her leadership forum was invited to listen to a "Quasi-Liberal" and the ideas shared started a Youth Movement behind Obama. This Bush Fly just happens to be the same person who led the drive to impeach President Clinton and prevented Hillary from being "Inevitable." Now that's a blockbuster. If that's not enough we could talk about how campaign finance changed fundraising and Hollywood. By the grace of God, one person can make a difference.

I think too many people forget what happened on 9/11 and I think by not having a show about it your not honoring those who lost their lives... I love Micheal Phelps, but I love my fdny family more. I rather honor them on the 11th!

What a great way to remember the anniversary. This year was very special for the Olympics, especially for Michael Phelps. We will never forget the men and women who helped and put their life on the line for 9-11 but it's great to recoginize this date this year on a more positive note.

The Bush Fly option is still on the table. Maybe we could have a beer, talk about winning the Nobel Prize, or The Citizen's Journal? If 9 percent of talk radio is from a "Liberal" perspective, this could lead America to finding a real talent for the future? It's clear Obama is "Old School" and listening to someone "Blogging in their Pajamas." I'm not stupid. I could know a secret that makes me look stupid trying to give it away for free.

I think she should honor all of the US Medalists gold, silver and bronze. When you just honor the gold, it is like telling the others that they are losers. That is wrong.
