Since the beginning of Obama's campaign Oprah has been proud to publicly endorse the Democratic candidate. Oprah Winfrey joined big fundraisers for Barack's journey to the White House. Winfrey describes Barack Obama's presidential win as "One of the greatest moments I could ever even imagine.There are no words to talk about what this means to me.That’s how great it is."

Now, Barack Obama is considering Oprah Winfrey for a cabinet position; do you think this would be a good choice for America?

Oprah Winfrey is a media figure with no government experience.

the biggest problem with Miss O is that every afternoon she would want to sit down on the job, have some famous twit in her office and they could sit for an hour gossiping and having high tea.

but then isn't that what most of congress and the cabinet do anyway?

Is this for real?! Where are the sources? While I like Oprah & believe she's added much to the entertainment & media world we live in . . . she has no place in politics w/o a lot more experience & world involvement. She is a PERSONALITY, not a POLITICIAN w/the experience to back it up. I can't believe Obama would be so ill-directed to make such a move.

Lady Oprah will be an added bonus to the new Cabinet, she should be given the position of Culture Secretary, she has the quality to fulfill such position, she brings positive energy, she is an expert in communication, she would reach the faraway with her human touch. She would help the underpriviligied. She will be very productive, she does not need fame she already got it, money she already got it, so Lady Oprah will be just the right person for the position of Culture Secretary, so far she has helped so many, in the Cabinet she will be the perfect Public Relations for America. In such time for a speedy recovery for Wall Street, we need a Lady Oprah.

Um no! She is a media figure and it should stay that way. In fact, I would vastly prefer if celebrities stopped publicly supporting politicians....I don't care if they agree or disagree w/ me....I just wish people didn't consider them a credible source on politics (some people do...I have run into them...its scary ask them why they voted for so and so...and they don't know! They just like this artist..uh)

Oprah Winfrey is outta touch. She's a Liberal Elitist. I bet she flies in a jet like the Big 3. In fact if she wanted to help, she could buy the GM cars at a discount and give them to her audience again.

Apparently, a lot of Sodaheads like abuse.

Clearly, professional politicians have brought the nation to the point of dis-integration. And, according to the writings of the republic's founders, the average citizen should be running the country.

So, Oprah, and Joe-the-Plumber should be in government. Their aids or bureaucrats, if you will - every senator and congressman has them - should be the experts, but Oprah-like leaders should be the citizen's representative.

I would vote for an average "Jane/Joe" - no pun intended - over a "professional politician" any day of the year. The average "Joe" will better understand the issues that I face, as opposed to some silver-spoon-in-the-mouth born "elitist" who would govern to preserve the status quo

NOTHING~~~~~ I'm so over Harpo. I mean stick to tv and leave the politics alone. I can run my life without the help of Oprah's so-called free thinking and open-minded (yeah, right!) views. I mean we are in the throws of digging into the Ill. Governors selling the Senate seat.....why not just sell a Cabinet seat or two. While we're at it let's just sell a few seats in the U.N. Oh yeah, we've already done that.

Oprah's contributions to society should be...

...using her abilities to make more people read books [reading empowers everyone], helping families that have suffered greatly, and just be a true philanthropist. With the amount of people she has working for her and the amount of people she reaches - she could do more than any government job [not to mention she could not afford the pay cut]. As it is, other countries laugh at our worshiping of celebrities.This praise for false idols has to stop. They do not have any answers...unless, of course, you believe, "That's so hot" will be remembered as a great quote.
