Oprah's New Venture

20 November 2009

Yesterday Oprah Winfrey announced that she is closing the show in 2011 after 25 years on the air. The announcement triggered the expected onslaught of Media coverage and all kind of suppositions about why she reached her decision.

Not to be left out from this riveting news break, I decided to actually give this issue some thought, so here it is.

It is not a coincidence that the year she chose was 2011. She has already been part of the Obama plantation since the moment that the man decided to run for President. It is not also a coincidence that she is based in Chicago, so the inter vining between her and Obama must go much further back.

It is my conclusion that she will become a much more relevant part of Obama re-election effort for 2012. And it would not be a surprise for me to hear that if the man is re-elected, that the Oprah could replace Hillary as Secretary of State. by the time the 2012 Presidential campaign gets on its way (with the exception of Obama who has never stopped campaigning) Clinton will be at major odds with her boss, as she ponders over the possibility of actually run against the One.

Now that I have wasted my time, and yours, with an actual post about Oprah Winfrey, I apologize and move on.

And these are my thoughts
