Oprama
Today in Idaho, Barack Obama addressed a crowd about the Second Amendment, and in acknowledging his downstate Illinois constituents, he said, “I have no intention of taking away folks' guns.” He actually said this with a very noticeable good ole country boy accent, except that it came off more as a parody of the way he must imagine they talk. Another actor, just like Reagan. Let’s hope that’s not the only dimension to his trajectory.
And then, tonight on ABC-TV News, David Muir asked him about his relationship with Oprah Winfrey. “We know that Oprah is coming back out on the trail for you and I'm curious how does this work?” Muir wondered. “Do you call Oprah and say this is the 11th hour, it's awfully close in California, we could use your help, how does this all go down?”
“Well, Oprah is a good friend,” Obama explained, “so we've been talking throughout this campaign and you know actually when was Caroline Kennedy, traveling, she had the idea of maybe doing a women's event in California and that Oprah might enjoy participating as well and Michelle, we are going to send out... I will not be there... this is going to be a women's event in California and I think that they're going to have a great time, but it's indicative of, I think, the momentum that we're seeing all across the country.”
“Do you actually pick up the phone and call her?” Muir continued.
Obama hesitated, smiled, and then said, “Yes, I do.”
Imagine that. If he becomes president and has a question on his mind, do you think he’ll be calling Oprah? Oh, boy, more show business. Does this mean we’re going to get Dr. Phil blowing in his ear too? Or, in another leap of fake, imagine this, if you can: Secretary of State Oprah Winfrey, jetting around the globe with Gayle by her side, or how about Ambassador Phil McGraw, in Baghdad, of course, where else, scolding naughty Sunnis and Kurds in that big new embassy Bush built.
“Are we there yet?” Who said that? Is that you, Ted?
