Oprah is out!

"In that political structure -- all the non-truths, the bullsh*t, the crap, the nastiness, the backhanded backroom stuff that goes on -- I feel like I could not exist," Winfrey told British Vogue. "I would not be able to do it. It's not a clean business. It would kill me."

In addition to being a persistent woo-monger -- a sign of corrupt intent or dangerous credulity -- she has no relevant experience or knowledge.

The current Oval Office occupant, especially when contrasted with his predecessor, shows the importance of intellect and experience and the danger in the absence of the same.

Anyone who actively seeks out that office WITHOUT a strong and lengthy devotion to public service and organization on their résumé is to be viewed with the utmost suspicion. Like our current Resident, for instance.
