General Discussion
Showing Original Post only (View all)I dare say Oprah is not that different from Obama!! [View all]
Don't get angry with me before read my entire post.
I read the big discussion threads regarding the qualification for presidential candidate.
First, though Obama has 7 years State level experience as a State senator, he became a candidate
without finishing the full term of U.S. senator.
During 2008 primary, Hillary voters questioned a lot about his lack of experiences especially in international relations.
Look what we got after he became a president of Unites States.
Remember he also made Hillary into the secretory of States.
So, first and foremost, I just don't see any of negatives Oprah becoming a head of the states.
As for winning the election, this is where her strengths shows. I dear say unless we miraculously find another
Obama, she looks strongest in winnability so far.
The remaining issue is the post election. Her legislative style and competency.
This is what we should be open minded and ask a lots of question during the primary.
I got an impression many, who are very negative about her potential candidacy, presume she is not capable.
That is presumption. Plus, what she may choose for the running mate may matter as well.
I also believe that more people will be tuning into the process if she runs for the primary.
I do not like an attitude talking too much about eligibility. It does sounds too 'elitist' to put it simply.
We have no idea about what she will be really like if she runs.
Remember, she has already retired from her signature show in 2011, which is now 7 years ago.
I am cautiously support her run for the primary.
