Is Hillary going to self destruct ???

Sometimes I wish Oprah would run for President. Talk about a smart woman- she clearly knows how to run a business, thinks locally and globally, gets along with just about everybody, could "brand" the US back into a popular "product" (since everyone hates us now), knows how to delegate, knows to surround herself with smart people, has incredible fan/friend/family/corporate loyalty, admits her mistakes and works hard to fix them, and everything she touches is successful.

The rare criticism that you hear about her usually has a sour grapes tone. She is on a whole other level than other celebrities that endorse candidates- in other words, Chuck Norris, Barbara Streisand, etc. are not in the same ball park.

I agree that all of the above bolded things about Oprah are true- BUT does that make someone a good canidate for President? no - Heck I think that I have many of those qualities and JDarg you do as well.

We will have to disagree on the celebrity thing, I just dont think that celebrities should try to sway people just because of their exposure. I know the candidates use it but I personally dont think it is right.

If those aren't extremely important qualities for a Presidential to have, then what are? Successful people have these qualities. Many people also only consider the one person (the candidate) in all this- remember that the President is not alone. He/she will have to select a cabinet, and these are the people that are supposed to know the nuts and bolts of every issue- the "specialists." I am counting on our next president's ability to hire "specialists" with the qualities described above, in addition to knowing the job description for their particular cabinet position.

wonder why Oprah isn't running..

she may do better to endorse her candidate, and participate from behind the scenes.

I can only take Oprah in small doses, like when there are beauty or fashion topics on.

What a beautiful avatar Tootsie! Is it Gustav Klimt?

Thanks for posting Maureen Dowd's column. I generally don't read her but the column reflected my feelings also.

ok, I will reword....having those qualities are important in running for Presidency but having just those qualities are not enough. IMHO....
