Ready for President Oprah?
I didn't watch the Golden Globes last night (I don't watch those award shows, I hope I'm getting the name right). But, I saw the headlines about Oprah's big speech, etc. I've been saying for a long time now she's the next President - probably unseating Trump after one term. I just use politics as entertainment. I haven't voted for a long time. But, as the average American lives in a paradigm where they look to elected officials to rule over them and run their lives, I just observe with caution and mull over two things. Where should I live, and what do I need to do to protect what little wealth I've accumulated? In that light, this recent, public promotion of Oprah has caught my attention. So...are you ready?
What did The Evil Hag once say? "Aren't you ready for a female president?"
"Not that one!" shall change to "Not that one either!"
But libs will pull all kinds of nasty name-calling cards if you're not ready for O--p--p-- O?
Oh, no! What did me dino just write?
O?
Oh, woe! Not another O!
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
I'm melting! I'm melting! What a world! What a world!
She was close buds with Harvey Weinstein, and very likely knew about his craven behavior, only discovering it now that sex abuse has become the latest cause celebre.
She certainly is arrogant enough to run. When, in her speech, she used herself as the inspiration for a new generation of young black women, I wanted to gag. Forget about Rosa Parks, Condoleeza Rice, or any other memorable black women, when you have the great and glorious Oprah!
The Democrat field certainly could use some fresh blood, and there are younger, experienced Democrats eager to make a run at the White House. I don't think any of them will be particularly happy to see Oprah in the primaries.
Oprah is such a popular figure with so many Americans, she will present a problem to anyone that opposes her for the candidacy. How does any Democrat survive if he/she openly attacks such a revered figure? Trump survived vicious assaults because he appeared unflappable and willing to be as uncivilized as necessary to fight back. All Oprah will have to do is appear shocked, or in an extreme case, let a tear roll down her cheek when criticized, and the attacker will suffer ignominious condemnation and defeat.
Arrrgh!
This reminds me of a certain fictional book series by a now passed author about a little guidebook to the galaxy and an elected President who was all show and no policy...

Not to mention her very liberal views.
Seriously...it'll likely rekindle my research into real estate in another country. Trump is just a great speedbump in the progressive program. And, when his time in office is through they'll kick in the afterburners.
All this talk in her speech of female victimhood while she did nothing about Weinstein all those years, while probably being the best-positioned to actually say something of substance about it. Nope...just more of the same...
"I know that your friends in the Democratic Party are at wit's end trying to find the correct candidate to run against Donald Trump in 2020, and have been toying with the idea of Oprah.
"So close, but so backwards. Bear with me. This'll be a bit strange, but please hold your breath for a moment.
"Who would be better than Harpo? Tremendously well qualified. Brother (or something like that) of the esteemed leader of Freedonia, honks instead of tweeting, and (best of all) knows when to keep his mouth shut."
Harpo is on a debate stage with his clown horn.
One honk for "yes."
Two honks for "no."
Three honks for "What do I care?"
to be moved to central america between election night and the swearing in. (There will be lots of swearing, too.) She is one of the most racist and sexist people in public life.
