Why don't we just elect Oprah president and be done with it

[ruggerson]

She can have national book club meetings at the White House and occasionally step out into the Rose garden and give out free skin care products to the adoring masses.

Isn't that where we're headed anyway?

1. She promised you a car, didn't she!

[hisownpetard]

2. We could do a lot worse (e.g. Romney, McCain, Ghouliani, etc.)

[geek tragedy]

3. Lots of bitterness on the part of Obama opponents.

Makes me happy.

[ruggerson]

4. ah, but you're mistaking amused scorn for bitterness

n/t

[jefferson_dem]

7. There's much bs out there to scorn, to be sure.

Oprah is not among them.

Whatever. Carry on.

[ruggerson]

9. but Oprah

having a multi-day tour with a serious presidential candidate is.

12. Post-Obama Surge Pre-Oprah Stress Disorder

Be gentle with them, it's a killer.

[Capn Sunshine]

14. May I suggest the shorthand POSPOSD

for future posters
B-)

[BeyondGeography]

15. Aye, aye, dear Cap'n

Intelligent discussion isn't working well today, so I've gone ahead and invited them to their own private room:

5. That's more than we're getting now

After all, she cares about quality beef, too.

[gulliver]

6. That violates the separation of church and state.

The Oprah Moonies will be coming out of the woodwork. We've never had any one religion's supreme being as president before. I just don't think America is ready for that.

8. I've always hated Oprah. Now I get to come out of the closet!!!!

YAY! I'm free! Secret Oprah haters unite!

[Missy M]

11. I'm another secret Oprah hater......

and this is the first I've admitted it. It feels good!!!

[Bitwit1234]

10. Car or what.....maybe she give each American a tank of fuel oil

and she can tell the fiefs just what to do...I guess all that money finally went to her head....

[stillcool]

13. Can Sean Penn be the VP..

or will she have to reach across the aisle and tap Gene Simmons?

[question everything]

16. Yup. The Oprahization of our culture

Everything has to be in the open. No privacy, no dealing with problems, no range of reactions. The more one opens up and cries in the public the better. And the most important news of the day are the ones about Hilton/Lohan/Spear and any other (white) damsel in distress.

If I were a candidate I would appeal to the ones who have other things to do with their lives, like making a living, than waste every hour in the (morning or afternoon?) to watch the sobbing and misfortune of other women.

I would take it as a badge of honor if my supporters would ask "Oprah who?"

17. But if she was a musician high on pot

it would probably be ok with a lot of folks here if she was filling up stadiums for her favorite candidate.

Oh, the times they are a changin' ...
