My mind has been spinning about how great this would be and how it might all unfold. Similar to Herbert Hoover and his “Chicken in every pot and a car in every garage," with President O "You get a car and you get a car. Everybody gets a car."
We could all live our best lives. (I’m assuming there would be spin-off goodness into Canada)
My mind boggles at the possibilities. Admittedly, I love everything Oprah stands for. If she told me to jump off a bridge, I just might think about it.
Indulge me in the political fantasy.
Suppose it were happening.
She should have Tyler Perry as her running mate. Together, they could personally pay off the U.S. national debt. There’s a big problem solved.
There will need to be both a role for First Gentleman Stedman Graham and for First Friend Gayle King. They will both need rooms in the West Wing.
The dogs will need a whole wing too. There's a lot.
Dr. Oz can be director of health, Suze Orman handles finance, Dr. Phil should be the press secretary because his daily quips would be gold for the media.
"It doesn't matter how flat you make a pancake, there's still two sides."
"Does it say stupid on my forehead?"
He can be assisted by Iyanla Vanzant who can help everyone deal with their deep personal issues after a rough day in the Situation Room. Fix my life!
Can you imagine how beautiful the White House would be? Nate Berkus will decorate. Fresh flowers everywhere. Weight Watchers snacks will be plentiful and there would always be the scent of fresh bread wafting through the halls because Oprah loves bread and bread is life!
Dignitaries will be served either Chai tea latte or perhaps Moscow Mules (This is Oprah’s favourite drink and has no other connection to Russia).
As much as I think she is brilliant and empathetic — here is what I want to say to OPRAH WINFREY and I must yell it:
DON’T DO IT, GIRL. RUN THE OTHER WAY. DO NOT RUIN YOUR LIFE BY GETTING MIXED UP IN SUCH A HEARTLESS, DISHONEST, MEAN SPIRITED GAME. POLITICS IS BENEATH YOU. GO READ A BOOK FROM YOUR OWN CLUB AND FORGET THIS NONSENSE.
Would I love to see her as most powerful person in the world? You bet.
She actually is a ”stable genius” and I know this because she doesn’t have to TELL us that she is. She has shown us she is someone of integrity who is a self-made billionaire and who did it the old fashioned way with hard work, grit, determination, smarts, intuition and a huge amount of talent.
I can’t imagine she has any skeletons in her past. After 25 years of a daily talk show, I think she told us everything. Still, if she got into the race, people will dredge up her past, question her relationship, bring up past failures and protest the fact she is super rich.
As soon as she announces a presidential bid, half the population will automatically dislike her and try to take her down.
She has such a good life. I think she should stick with inspiring the world through discussion, books, magazines and movies and stirring speeches.
She should remain the Queen of all Media where her impact is far more widespread than as leader of the free world.
As she said in her speech: “There is a new day on the horizon,” and I hope that is true. But I also hope Oprah just steps back and enjoys the view.
