President Oprah Winfrey. That's all the internet could shout (http://mashable.com/2018/01/07/oprah-for-president-golden-globes/) last night, it seemed. But in the cold light of day, is that actually what we want?
After Oprah accepted the Cecil B. DeMille award at the Golden Globes for "outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment," she gave a barn burner of a speech (http://mashable.com/2018/01/07/oprah-winfrey-cecil-demille-award-speech/) that had the crowd on its feet applauding. It was a sweeping speech that tackled the visibility of women and shed the light on underrepresented populations.*
It also sounded a whole hell of a lot like a speech to kick off a presidential run.*
