...Sept. 9, 2011 is all too soon. But given what Oprah wants to do next, it might be too late. She's leaving network TV to focus on creating OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network, a new cable channel that she's launching with Discovery Communications. She announced the venture almost two years ago but it will not start airing until January...
...thinking behind creating her own cable property is sound. Oprah's Harpo Productions is almost as successful a creator of TV programming as she is a talk show host. Dr. Phil, Rachael Ray and Dr. Oz were all sucklings on The Oprah Winfrey Show before being launched solo into syndication.

...This strategy is a conscious rejection of the Bush Administration's approach, which was never big on deference. The challenge for the President is that with almost a year in office, he has little to show for his global charm campaign beyond a Nobel Prize, soaring international poll approval and the promise of many more diplomatic dialogues to come. As Obama's foreign policy ambitions move beyond the introductory phase, harder questions are coming to the fore: When does politeness lapse into passivity? When does seeking common ground erode the soil that anchors American priorities...
