   No. Although she is a very loving and generous person I feel she lacks the ability to navigate the political waters.
   
   One reason many successful people fail as politicans is because unlike a business where one person gets to call the shots as though they were the 10 commandments....etc A politician is forced to compromise over and over again just to get some of what she/he wants in return.
   
   There will always be an opposition party whose sole responsibility is to tear you down on a daily basis. That's just comes with the territory. Awhile back I wrote a hub stating that "political gridlock" is the American way. http://hubpages.com/hub/politicalgridlockiswhatwewant
   I don't believe Oprah could stand that type of heat. Thankfully she knows what her strengths are.

   I'm not american, so I can't vote for her.
   But, she's very popular person, and that is big plus for elections. She would win them surely. But politics, and show business ain't same game.
   Anyway good question.

   No, she is a wonderful entertainer, but that does not make her a good presidential candidate.

   no.  No experience in the political world.  I think we know what happens when we elect a person who does not understand the global political arena.

   My answer would depend on who her opponent was. If she were running against Sarah Palin and/or Glenn Beck or Donald Trump I sure would vote for Oprah. However, she's not qualified for the Presidency although she's a bright and successful woman.

    She is very successful but seems too emotional to be President, in my opinion.

    I would first like to know her position on the issues..but frankly, I doubt I would vote for her since she has no prior political experience. For some this might be considered a plus but I prefer at least *some* experience so I can get an idea of how she might govern.

    Definitely not. I think the real question is what gave you that idea, she doesn't have a single characteristics of a person that can make a change, she just knows how to entertain. Do you want another president that is just thee to entertain you???

    I'd like to get away from having TV stars become high profile politicians. Her heart is in the right place but I would prefer a Presdient with more hands on business expereince like Donald  Trump.

    No because she's not been working in politics all of her life and therefore doesn't know how to be a politician.

    I would not vote for Oprah too many people see her as a type of Goddess and we don't need that. We already had that with G W Bush.

    Absolutely not!  Why do people always think a celebrity can be president of the United States because they happen to be popular with the public.  I'm sorry but Oprah has issues she needs to overcome before she ever thinks she can be president!

    Are you kidding me?  Oprah doesn't qualify for anything useful except to entertain bored housewives.
    
    And who says she is a pleasant and compassionate person?  The Bill Gates foundation is going around asking billionaires to donate half of their net worth to charity and she is one of the few who said no.   She is pathetic.

    Only if she's as effective as Bill Clinton was. (..I know, but the sex stuff had nothing to do with his capabilities. If you're having a heart attack and the best doctor is a creep do you go for the nice incompetent doctor nevertheless)? Think about it.

    Well based on the platform of justice, she can be voted for and can stand for elections but she is not into politics so she certainly got little experience to lead a great nation like USA.
    She is good in her area of expertise which is entertainment. I just published a hub entitled “ A peep into the world of celebrities.”  She may have many fans but she got to know what her fans want , certainly must of them won’t want her in politics

    oprah is a wonderful smart person but i have to say that she would not have my vote. Maybe the president of the make a wish foundation or something but not for president. Oprah please stay doing what you do best!! I didnt vote the last president election because i just wasnt so sure about anyone at that time who ran. I think alot of people who voted for obama was because he was black, that was the wrong reason to vote. I think obama had every black persons vote.
