Comments on Audio of Oprah Winfrey's Iowa Speech

oprah for president! how many times have i said it? i ask you.

Uh, the bible spells it Orpah, but Oprah doesn't.

@2: Ooops, I'm a little bleary-eyed right now. Thanks for the catch. Fixed it.

Oprah unleashes the women of America, good bye Hilarty and MONEY. Wealth from the black rich and millions of liberals.

Obama has the Queen in his game, she is very important, and not afraid to influence events. Wait until she summons Hollywood.

No better personal endorsement in America. None.

Her people will spruce up the campaign from top to bottom, better media, better visuals, better suits and ties, better lighting, better SPEECHES. Photo ops with Oprah and Obama, I want one.

What a boost and what a time line. WOW.

Thanks Eli, this is great.

How about an Obama/Oprah ticket? I'd quit my job to work full time on their campaign!

Why waste her on Veep? She'd make a good Secretary of Stat. ;-)

I couldn't make it all the way through the clip. I mean yes, she paused for effect in the right places, but she's an oscar-winning actress, right? Content-wise, it sounded to me like everyone else's speeches so far. Were the inspiring and/or new talking points after the halfway mark?

I've always wanted Oprah for president... could we go with anyone worse?? If not Oprah, then Will Ferrel????

great idea, eli. dunno if you are fustest to the web with this, but it is the kind of direct and creative act i expect from you, based on my experience of your writing.

and adrian, I INSIST you provide an essay expounding upon this topic. It seems I may have heard you expound upon this topic in person, or else you live inside my head.

(no, #7, she's not an Oscar-winning actress. Nominated, sure, but Color Purple went home empty handed for all of its nominations.)

Now if Whoppi (she actually WON an Oscar) goes Bats for 'Bama and gets the View-girls to be Obamatons... watch out Hillary...

I'm all for it. Oprah for HHS secretary!

#7: That won't happen, the View is my guiltiest of pleasures and Whoopi is downright hostile toward Oprah and Obama on the show. She's constantly making thinly veiled digs at Oprah "just being a talk show host". Joy seems to have a Baby Boomer girl-crush on Hillary.

Ummm.... I tast vomit at the back of my throat...
