Yes She May: Oprah Hints At Presidential Run

In a recent interview with Bloomberg, Oprah says that she never really thought she had the right experience to be President but that Trump's victory has her thinking she just might have a shot at the White House.

"I actually never thought that that was – I never considered the question, even a possibility."

"I thought, 'Oh, gee, I don't have experience. I don't know enough. I don't.'"

"And now I'm thinking, 'Oh! Oh!'"

Yes, because the election of a 1-term Senator from Illinois, whose prior real world "experience" consisted of "community organizing," was not sufficient evidence to convince Oprah that the U.S. Presidency was within her grasp.

But while Oprah's resume pales in comparison to that of a "community organizer", she's quite certain her credentials would match up well against a person who has managed a multi-billion dollar, global real estate portfolio for all of his adult life.

Translation: Oprah's convinced she can maintain the support that Hillary received from women in 2016 and recapture the minority voters in the Midwest that overwhelming showed up to support Obama in 2008 and 2012 but largely abandoned Hillary in 2016.

I feel that Ms. Winfrey should stick with hanging out with the Hollywood elite and making "feel good" movies. She seems like a nice lady but there is absolutely no way that she could give the entire nation a new car.

Matt is a smart fellow..
He knows Obsessed Hillary WILL try again in 2020. Oprah would make a mess of that, wouldn't she? Even more so than Bernie did in 2016.

I watched Oprah's best friend Gail King say this morning that Oprah will NEVER run for President. She was extremely confident and said she'd bet her life on it. Oprah is NOT going to run. However, she ended saying that the Oprah show always said you can always change your mind but she knows Oprah won't do it.

Oprah vs Hilliary, Oprah wins hands down. But Oprah vs Trump? Sorry honey, but he was an extremely successful businessman while most of your businesses have been either flops, like OPN, or moderately successful. You do have Kudos for being a good actress, though.

Just another racist black lady. When her show was on she was always giving money to blacks for school and such things but never much to white people. Also when she started a school in Africa not only was it racist but sexist also. It was a school for African girls. I guess the African boys didn't need to be educated. Then after it was made public that teaching the girls were abusing the girls. The news on the girls school kind of just faded away. I do not know if the school still exists or not. Anyway I always got the impression that Oprah was a very racist person. Maybe she did a lot of good things but mostly these things helped only black people. I also know she had a big following of women and if Oprah said go buy this book the women bought the book. I really believe if Oprah had said to the women go kill your husbands 90% of the women would go kill their husbands. They just seemed to do whatever Oprah said. I often thought she must of had an agenda like Obama did but just couldn't figure it all out.

I have been a fan and watched Oprah since she was on a local Baltimore show "People are Talking" with Richard Sher. I knew she would be a hit where ever she went as the people adored her. I have always thought she is fair and a " Good Listener" which is rare. But I would not like to see her as president. It requires more than her
experience.

And good for her. She thanks you all the way to the bank.
