Oprah Winfrey has set her sights on the Oval Office. Two of the media mogul's closest friends spoke with CNN after the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night, and revealed that Oprah is 'actively thinking' about running for president. The idea has been talked about for several months according to these friends, and while Oprah's confidantes are encouraging her to run, the self-made billionaire has yet to make up her mind.

She actually lost a quarter of her audience when she backed Obama in 2008.

One year later she announced she was discontinuing her show. She went out with a bang, but I believe she had lost viewership among Republicans because she got political.

What does Oprah know about the “casting couch”?


She’s as big as a couch. Reminds me of that old joke...Oprah goes in for a physical, is asked to disrobe, and get on all fours against the wall, the Doctor then has her move from wall to wall, still nude and on all fours. When she asks why is she having to move from wall to wall on her hands and knees, the Doctor replies that, “He is buying a new couch for his office, and wanted to visualize where it would look best”...

One question to liberals who are gushing over the thought of Oprah Winfrey running for President: if Donald Trump’s previous political experience made him unfit for the Presidency, why is Oprah Winfrey suitable for the highest office in the land?

“That is my guess as to why it won’t happen. Some jealous establishment Dem who thinks it is their turn digging up dirt to kneecap her.”


I kinda thought the same thing too, at first, but the Democrat party may be so desperate by then to get back into power, and would feel they had no chance whatsoever against Oprah, they all may lay their egos aside and get behind her only.

Since Oprah is so revered among the left, and genuinely liked by a lot of people in this country, her running would make their support of Hillary, look like they never knew her.

The Democrat party and the liberal media would be insufferable in their euphoria over it.

I can already see in my mind the headlines if this happens, “Donald Trump’s History of Anti-Black Presidents,” “Donald Trump’s Target: A Black Woman,” “Will Oprah Winfrey Address Trump’s Racism?”

My God, that would be one election I do not want to see.

I don’t think she can run while openly owning, and managing, a TV network...can she?

If such a disaster should happen, will she dump her “white” audience once she is made ‘prominent” by them, and focus her entire world on black issues?

She would be an incompetent Obama...the gift of gab without a clue about the government.

As soon as someone calls her ‘fatty’ she will throw a temper tantrum.

And we will all hear of her wonderful diet and how healthy she is...and then media can report she doesn't sleep with her ‘partner’.but she did manage to sleep with all the dudes she has dated..

Can't wait to trash her 24/7 just like they did our POTUS DJT...

You go ahead and take her seriously, I find it all rather amusing.
What you fail to point out is the intelligence level of our President along with his tenacity and not giving a care if he’s hated. Opie, please, she wept like a toddler when the meat industry dragged her lard a** to court.

But yea, she’s a serious contender lol

"Can't wait to trash her 24/7 just like they did our POTUS DJT.."

And are still doing. Now the Dems and their media are trying to convince
the public that Trump is insane.
