Oprah is a genius. About that there is no question.
The sheer organization--the ability to select such competent people in such huge numbers--the imagination--the energy--the ability to pull such a thing off in total secrecy--any one of these requires a certain genius.
I sat there thinking: If Oprah can accomplish all that she has accomplished in her life, she just might be able to put Barack Obama in the White House.
If she sets her mind to it, focuses her attention and brain power on it, and campaigns hard enough for him--I think she can do it.
I know very little about Obama, and what I know isn't impressive, but I know plenty about Oprah Winfrey, and, not only is she impressive, but she is not to be underestimated.
Which is precisely why I dislike her and what she stands for.
Has nothing to do with her race.
Has nothing to do with her sex.
Has nothing to do with her success.
It has EVERYTHING to do with her views on things like marriage and the role of the state. She is a socialist through and through, but only because capitalism has given her a lot of good things.
Naw, she has zero influence on women who really work for a living, or are too busy raising their kids to sit around eating bonbons (after their 'stories') and watch Oprah. But I hope she has enough influence over welfare-sucking Rat women to get Barry O nominated. Michelle Obama's big mouth will be WAY more amusing than even Teh-Ray-Zuh Ketchup Kerry's was!
