She would be fantastic but unfortunately has stated many times that she would never do it.

Of course not. Oprah Winfrey is merely a television talk show host. She has no business, political, economic, international experience.
She has made questionable decisions. She has had abortions and used illicit drugs like cocaine. Though she's never been married, she tells millions of female viewers how to be good mothers and wives.
Her character is still suspect. Just a few months ago it was revealed that one of her favorite authors, James Frey, made up the contents of his book "A Million Little Pieces". In an appalling display of damage control she went on CNN's "Larry King Live" and said that the falsehoods didn't matter. Only after the media criticized her for that act of Moral Relativism did she then bring Frey on her show, in mock outrage, and humiliate him. She never apologized to her audience for trying to perpetuate the lies (and praising a liar) when she was on Larry King's show.
Oprah? President? Without her talk show, she wouldn't be trusted to work at a bank.

Oprah Winfrey is extremely liberal, she has no qualifications, she hates men, and her foreign policy would be a joke. Sounds like the typical Democrat candidate to me.

Hell no! I can't seeing that windbag as it is now; can't imagine having to see that puss on the news and the front page of the paper every day for four years.
Please, anyone but Oprah. And John Kerry, anyone but those two. And Hillary. Oprah, Kerry and Hillary -- now there's a really unholy trinity!

I would say NO, she has a hidden agenda. We can find a better woman than her to be President. Plus, she has no training for politics (much like W). I live in Minnesota (Jesse Ventura) and saw first hand the damage of voting for someone for changes sake and not a politician.

No. She's too full of herself. She's also too worried about what's going on in celebrity's lives to care much about what's going on with normal people. She's too much of an elitist. A good president should be more in touch with the common man. The American worker if you will. She'd be too damn much like Bush is now, but she'd want to draw more attention to herself than normal presidents would.

Don't get me wrong. I love Oprah. But to be honest, she would be horrible. She gives all her money away, what do you think she would do with the countries money? No honestly she has too big of a heart to be president.

No. She's not an expert on politics -- in fact, I've never heard her discuss a major political issue. I want a President who's had experience in the political arena, who's held elected office and who can speak knowledgably about the major issues that face our country.

I think Ellen Degeneres would make a much better President as far as 'Talk Show Hosts for President' goes.

NO. I don't think Oprah want to be presidents. It's not her thing. why set up herself for a definite assasination.
