Oprah for 2020!!!
So after the latest Golden Globes, which I couldn't watch cuz of my exams, there was a lot of buzz regarding Oprah Winfrey, and a possibility of her running for The American Presidency and a few of you guys know she is one of my greatest idols. Better late than never, hence I'm here to shed some of my golden light on the matter.
To be honest I stayed away from the articles regarding that, cuz I didn't want a distraction. It was too much on the nose. I mean I'm still traumatized with the results if the last Election. I didn't think that it was possible for a thing of past, with no fault of yours to destroy your future. With all the qualities and compromises, I chose her but it was not to be. The glass ceiling will break though, no matter what. As soon as we were done with papers, I made an effort and one of our beautiful "cloudy" nights, I listened to Oprah's speech and it was good. So I listened to it again! and again!! What I cant quite resolve is, was it internally planned for the media and the Hollywood to cry "Oprah for 2020" cuz the speech is very well timed, it hits all the right notes and its beautifully executed. If you haven't quite connected the dots, let me do it for you.
With the news of the forced sexual quid-pro-quo running high in The United States, and the victims obviously being women, the Feminist bells are ringing louder than ever. It has been ringing since last several decades but ever since Trump running and winning, its been a highlight globally. It has already become a trend at red carpet events, to mock this administration without taking names. Last year, at the same event, receiving the same award was Meryl Streep, and she tore The President a new one. And a continuing series of such events has brought us here- a self made wealthy powerful orator, black woman with a severely harsh background, and contacts from the Democratic Party to Dalai Lama and a hugely popular and respected TV personality. Riding on the high tides of female empowerment, minority empowerment, major support of the Hollywood and even more so from the trillion dollar businesses of America, her fellow business comrades, Oprah is the presidential candidate of the dreams for the democratic party.
Coming back to her speech, it ticked all the boxes. It had minority black victim, a rape victim, Rosa Parks, praise for Media, and exclamation marks and pauses at all the right times. Oprah got standing ovation 3 times I think. If it was indeed the bugle for her race to Washington DC, it was indeed well timed and well executed. Personally I don't happen to be a great fan of celebrities running for political positions but anything is better than the present circumstances. I'm in a personal awe of the achievements of this lady, and I think theres a high chance she will do a good job. She has taken quite some 'decisions' that made her reach from $ 0 to $ 3 Billion.
TRUMP Vs OPRAH-
So heres a good question, how are they different??
-Both Billionaire Business People
-Both High Profile Celebrities
Well, according to me, while Trump is known for all the wrong reasons, Oprah is known for all the right ones. She comes from an extremely poor background, a women who has worked hard to her bones and is now running for presidency. In short she could be Trump's worst nightmare. She had no Million dollar loan from her father. Its all self made. Of course every one has skeletons in there backyards, but we will have to wait and watch how well is she capable of hiding them. She is hugely popular, campaign money is non issue as she has a long list of rich friends, she now needs a good team and an aggressive campaign and endorsements.
I cant wait for her to officially announce her campaign, She will have my full support and I'm extremely hopeful of her winning, much more then I was with Hillary!!! Fingers crossed...
All the Best Oprah!!! Heres a link to her speech. Its a must watch.
