Oprah for President!

I know this is going to seem crazy for most of you but I want Oprah for President. There is a man in Kansas City, Mo. who is trying to draft Oprah for president by giving away free car washes for anyone who signs his "Draft Oprah" petition. Well, good on him for getting involved. I have to agree with him. Even Michael Moore agrees. He says: Oprah's got good politics, she's got a good heart, and she'll have us all up Jazzercising at six in the morning. This cannot be a bad thing, and reading a book while we're Jazzercising. So America would be better off if Oprah were president. The Run Oprah Run website gives seven reasons why she would be great:

Seven Reasons Why We Should Ask Oprah to Run for President:

1. She's got credibility. She understands every American, from the common black woman up the ladder to Elizabeth Taylor. And everyone can identify with Oprah.

2. She's already rich. Look at Fortune. She made her own money, and she has staying power. She knows how to manage people, with an eye on the bottom line. These are skills we could use in a President.

3. She's already powerful. She's likely the most powerful woman in the country. She won't need to cultivate powerful friends - she's already got them.

4. She knows what we need after all the shows, topics and issues she has explored on her show, she is bound to have a good feeling for the pulse of this country. And Oprah is very, very smart.

5. She can attract smart peopleo to work for her. You think she runs Harpo by herself? She knows how to attract and keep top people. Her managerial and people skills are legendary; she can get the best people in the world to be her Cabinet.

6. She doesn't answer to anyone. She can do anything she wants. She is beloved, rich and famous. She is self-made; she isn't beholden to anyone.

7. She's true to herself. As any Oprah fan knows, she never forgets that she was once a poor 12-year old black girl in the South. She has worked hard and tirelessly and achieved all of her goals. She's the best.

So I say "Oprah! You run, girl!" Sign the petition. I won't give you a free car wash but it may make a difference.
