Oprah: Obama Job Never Occurred to Me

Despite stumping for Barack Obama since the early days of his presidential campaign, Oprah Winfrey says that she never considered working for the President-elect in office.

"I have a few full-time jobs already and a few full-time commitments, you know -- contractual commitments that say I have to be where I am," Lady O revealed to AP. "So, it never ever occurred to me."

Winfrey continued on to say that even if Barack extended a position to the talk show queen, she would turn it down due to her other contractual obligations. "Even if I was offered, I still have contractual commitments and what could I do?" Oprah said. "I do what I do best on TV every day."

The media mogul is set to attend Obama's inauguration on January 20 -- and admits that despite reports that have suggested otherwise, she is still dress shopping for the occasion. "I actually haven't picked it -- I had a dress on the vision board, but I'm not sure that's gonna fit, so I have to work on something else."

TO “GROSS COMMENTOR” HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT OPRAH THINKS? CAN YOU READ HER MIND? OR DO YOU HAVE A CRYSTAL BALL? AND TO THOSE THAT RESORT TO NAME CALLING, IT JUST SHOWS YOUR LEVEL OF INTELLIGENCE, NONE, NIL, NADA.

Oprah is a useless piece of sh….t! Why ET continues to promote this racist is beyond me.

I was going to say that Oprah thinks she is Gods gift to humanity.

But, by all accounts, she believes SHE IS God. I’m sure that the people of Africa believe that to be so. From the poorest of the poor, to the richest of the rich- I can see why they’d view her in such a way.


She’s disturbing.

Oprah’s the greatest. I supported Obama because she loves him so much, but I really rather Oprah was president.

Oprah looks like a fuzzy haired cow next to Obama. I wonder if she really thinks he’s going to tumble for her big heart?

Slime balls of a feather will always stick together. I trust neither one of these people, and what’s worse- is one of them is my country’ President Elect!

I have zero respect for Oprah, she’ll always have the monatary backing for “her own”.

And I have zero respect for Obama, because he has zero experience for the job he’s been handed by those whom have wanted to be a “part of history”. …sad.

Why not?!? She’s probably just as qualified to have a position as he is to be president. She could’ve been the final nail…
