Oprah for President! And why not? Afterall, she is the most influential women in the world. Oprah Winfrey is not only somebody who everybody loves and respects, but she does not hide anything from the public, and would be a perfect choice for Commander and Chief of the United States of America.

Oprah Winfrey puts it all out on the table. And if you are not a big fan of Oprah and you find it hard to believe that any celebrity could possibly tell all of her dirty little secrets, then let me fill you in: "People love Oprah because she opens up!" It is how she became famous. She is not the most pressing interviewer with a journalism degree, and she certainly does not claim to be a political savant or politician of any kind. Oprah just asks the questions that she feels like asking, and her interviewees tend to respond because they feel comfortable with Oprah because of her openness. And even when the tables are turned and she is the one being cross-examined, Oprah has unveiled things about herself that would take a national inquisition to get out of any other celebrity. She has revealed her teenage rapes, drug-based relationships and her inner most thoughts on subjects that most celebrities stay away from. Isn't that the kind of president we all want? Somebody who we can trust and somebody who does not hide everything. Not to mention, wouldn't it be a breath of fresh air to have a president who tells us what they are truthfully and honestly thinking.

Besides Oprah Winfrey's obvious openness and willingness to share, she is caring individual. Her television show is about helping people better themselves in order to make her society, this nation, and the world a better place. If she were president, her cabinet and assistants could consist of her close connection of professionals that appear on her show on the regular basis. Oprah, along with that cabinet, could help institute programs that would shape the American society and truly make this country a better place to live. She cares about people and if she were president, she would undoubtedly display her open heart with the decisions she makes and the ideas and opinions that she fields.

Oprah for President!

She has the grace and stature that is well overdue in the oval office.

what i really want to know is where Oprah politically stands. yes shes influencial and makes a difference in the world, but what is her platform

Yes, but I have to agree she would have to say that she has an outlet where she can help now, I would hate to see her be tied down. Certainly, she is a person who would be a wonderful candidate, but she has found where she can help people the most! If Oprah does run for president imagine no more Oprah show! :(

A Sony/Epic recording artist is about to release a song called "Oprah For President"- it's very edgy and hip. Could tip the scale with young voters. Check it out at: www.myspace.com/shutupstella

I laughed when I read your statement that if Oprah for pres is wrong, so is sliced bread...unfortunately, if that's the case I must give up my bread slicer...granted-Oprah Dr. Phil, Socks the Cat, all would be better choices than bushie...but I just can't bring myself to support an Oprah presidency...of course, it would depend on who she ran against!

I agree! Yay Oprah, but knowing our country she will probably be assassinated!

oprah winfrey has done more in terms of rebuilding katrina ravaged new orleans than our own government has. an entire neighborhood was rebuilt in no time thanks to the influence of oprah. imagine the possibilities if she were able to lead this country to eradicate homelessness, poverty and hunger? she's got my vote!

Timely, I just wrote an article about how entertainers like Oprah make better Presidential candidates than most of the crap we elect: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/71473/stewart_and_colbert_rule_out_presidency.html
