Did Oprah Winfrey's People ask Barack Obama to hold a Town Hall Meeting about the Credit Card Industry to get DailyPUMA off of Oprah's Back?

My prior article on DailyPUMA challenged Oprah Winfrey to devote an entire television show to how awful the Credit Card Companies are behaving in these tough economic times.


Let me just add that DailyPUMA got hits from the Chicago, Illinois area soon after my prior article was written.

I write an article that exposes Oprah Winfrey for the greedy business person she really is, someone who would promote free chicken dinners to her audience to make herself look good to millions of people even as she IGNORES the economic raping of millions of americans by the credit card companies.  

Not to mention that Oprah recently had a television show devoted to how livestock animals are mistreated in which Oprah stated that she had not previously thought much about how such livestock are treated, but she would from now on.  I guess KFC passed the "grill test" when it came to how they treat their livestock, not.

The credit card companies are using PUNITIVE measures in these tough economic times to collect their debts when INCENTIVE BASED credit card programs should have been used to both reduce consumer debt and also create more consumer cash flow throughout local economies throughout every city in the entire country. 

The best stimulus plan of all would have been incentive based credit card debt payback programs, NOT the punitive based credit card debt payback programs that have been hurled on millions of americans instead.  

I'm probably the first person to have identified punitive vs incentive based credit card debt paydown programs.  That should tell you how screwed we are right now. If the credit card industry wants to hire me to help them create incentive based credit card programs, I would do so, happily.

Barack Obama has performed the "perfect" political move by announcing his hastily called town hall meeting. 

Barack Obama takes the pressure off of Oprah Winfrey so Oprah doesn't have to do a televisions show about the credit card industries punitive methods for destroying the lives of americans just barely hanging on month to month.

Barack Obama waters down and obfuscates the most important credit card issues plaguing americans by conducting a "town hall meeting" while making it look as if he is reaching out to blue collar america at the same time.

Plus, the Barack Obama fan club can then chortle that Barack Obama took on the credit card companies while involving the american people in the that process via a town hall meeting that was so hastily announced that no official date or venue was announced.

And of course, who knows what Oprah Winfrey does to reciprocate for Barack Obama getting her off the hook.  At the end of the day, nothing changes, and that is what matters most to fat cats like Oprah Winfrey.

Oprah Winfrey's and KFC's "Let them Eat Grilled Chicken" coupon offer is just a diversionary tactic to cover up what really matters.


With apologies to Marie-Antoinette (1755-93), apparently Marie-Antoinette is another woman from history whose reputation was misrepresented and ruined because she allegedly coined the phrase "Let them eat cake". It appears that the phrase "let them eat cake" might have had an entirely different meaning than what we have been led to believe.


However, when it comes to Oprah Winfrey and the KFC grilled chicken free coupon caper, I am offended that Ms. Winfrey has chosen to participate in the KFC free grilled chicken coupon program while much much bigger problems are afflicting millions of americans.

Until Oprah Winfrey actually devotes an entire television show to the credit card industry and their punishing behavior to those in need of help, she will be the biggest hypocrite and fake on the planet in my eyes.  

Until Oprah Winfrey calls out the credit card industry and their use of punishment tactics to gather debts, when incentive based tactics would be far more successful, she will be the biggest fake on the planet in my eyes.

Until Oprah Winfrey exposes how Chase Bank fired their own employee because that employee waived a couple hundred dollars in penalities so a customer could pay their rent, out of over a thousand dollars in fees that were generated by that same customer, Oprah Winfrey will be a fake in my eyes.

Until Oprah Winfrey actually brings together Chase Bank, the credit card industry, and several victims of the credit card industries punishment tactics and devotes an entire television show to this issue, Oprah Winfrey will be a fake in my eyes. 

What about in your eyes?

However, if Oprah Winfrey did devote an episode to how the Credit Card Industry has unfairly victimized good, honest, hard working americans, would Oprah really be able to portray the situation as it truly is?  Or would such a show become a watered down explanation about how the poor poor credit card industry is suffering losses and is just doing what it needs to do to get by.

On second thought, perhaps Oprah is so over that there is no way she could play an effective role in protecting the very people who love her the most, her own viewers.

So instead, Oprah has come up with a different idea, Let them eat chicken, its just so finger lickin good.  

You can help do what Oprah, and ALL OTHER CELEBRITIES REFUSE TO DO, and that is fight for your fellow american, by bookmarking Daily-Protest.com and making your own sign that says daily-protest.com on it and putting it in a storefront window, on a bulletin board, or on a counter top, it is that easy to make a difference.

Free Food for the Homeless courtesy of KFC and Oprah Winfrey, only a 24 hour window to print coupons however.

Additional update, please check out the two links below to really understand what ChickenGate is really about.


------------------------
Update, my original coupons ended in a 1234, which mens they were no good. I just reprinted them at 8:10 PM pacific standard time on May-06. I was supposed to get 4 coupons, but I only got three. I reclicked on the link, tried again, and it spit out the forth coupon. I guess I"m good to go now. I think KFC needs to add a day to the promotion since the promotion was not ready when the promotion started.

-----------------------

I stumbled across this kentucky fried chicken, "The Oprah Winfrey Show" Kentucky Grilled Chicken 2 Piece Meal Coupon offer for a free meal from KFC. I assume it is legit, it sounds legit. You can print four coupons in the next 24 hours and then you have about 2 weeks to use them. KFC AND OPRAH WINFREY FREE MEAL OFFER.

I eat very little meat and buy vegan products most of the time so I am not thrilled about promoting this. However, if you want to do something nice for a homeless person that perhaps you see everyday on your way to work, just print out four of these coupons and hand one to them, (please do it only if you know it to be safe to do and you want to do it).

If your goal is the most bang for the homeless buck, probably don't know if you want to give out all four at once. One could keep the other three in the car just in case other opportunities arrive over the next two weeks.

If these four coupons can help you save some food money this month, more power to you as well.KFC AND OPRAH WINFREY FREE MEAL OFFER. If you think these coupons are fake, please let me know and I'll delete this topic, otherwise I am going on the premise that it is a legit offer.

Here is the fine print,
COUPON AVAILABLE FOR PRINTING ROM 9AM CDT (Central Daylight Time, one hour  behind the East Coast, two hours ahead of the West Coast) 5/5/09 TO 9:59PM CDT 5/6/09. COUPON IS REDEEMABLE AT PARTICIPATING KFC LOCATIONS IN THE U.S. FROM 5/5/09 TO 5/19/09, EXCLUDING 5/10/09.

----------------------------------

(quick update).  It appears that one could print as many of these coupons as one wanted until a couple of hours ago.  Now it appears that KFC has added a downloading software requirement
that allows one to print the coupon with the barcode.

I assumed that my prior four coupons were no good so I went to reprint them after I downloaded their coupon software, but I got a message saying I had already downloaded my coupons prior.  The software downloading was easy.  Just make sure you don't stumble upon a fake version of this offer and agree to download malware or spyware instead.  I presume the link I have put on this article is the correct one.  I am concerned that my barcode looks the same for all four coupons.
