Oprah for President!

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.

There is also something to be said for a person with such monetary stature and high affluence. It cannot be denied that money has an incredibly strong influence in politics, and one thing that can be guaranteed is that Oprah will not make any decisions that would be based on her, or any of her associates, accumulating money. She has plenty of money, and she has come from a background where money was scarce, so she understands the common person's strive for monetary security and she understands what economic principles need to be instituted in order to encourage personal economic growth. And as a businesswoman who has built an empire based off of social influence, Oprah's business savvy and compilation of economic supervisors would comprise to be one of the best economic authorities in the world.

The most telling reason for Oprah Winfrey to become the next President of the United States is her personal influence. The President of the United States of America is considered to be the most powerful and influential person in the world. It would only be fitting that the most powerful and influential woman in the world hold that chair. If Oprah were to become president, she would be the most influential person to take over the oval office since George Washington was the first person to become president. Her already dominate presence in this world could be used to get a lot things done that no other person would be capable of. Her ability to get millions and billions of dollars out of companies to do her bidding could be used in saving lives, changing societies and implementing programs that other presidents have not even attempted to do. Oprah Winfrey's voice in international affairs would be prominent and potent, and the many nations in which she has intervened with and aided would be willing to cooperate with a person of her stature and her willingness to facilitate somebody besides herself.

If Oprah for President in 2008 is a bad idea, then so is sliced bread. She is dominating figure, who is both smart and successful. Her current ability to create so much change in the world now could only be exponentially multiplied to the 10th degree if given the power of the presidency. And if you agree, you can go to:
