I think President Elect Obama should appoint Oprah Winfrey as Ambassador to Africa. What do you think. She has already started doing good things for them.

Nah.

Absolutely not.

Only if he hires Margaret Cho as ambassador to Asia.

Haha!

I think I love you.

good one

You realize Africa is a continent and therefore has no ambassador, right? It's done by countries?

HAHA

Redoubts gets ten points! Excellent!!

I would be remiss if I didn't ask you all to remember that Shirley Temple Black (yes the child star) an active participant Republican politics, and was named by Richard M. Nixon to serve as a US representative the United Nations.

She was later an ambassador to Ghana. During the Ford administration, she was the first female Chief of Protocol for the White House, a position she did not enjoy -- one foreign dignitary's wife expected her to act as a hairstylist. She was later a Foreign Affairs officer for the State Department under Ronald Reagan, who had played her romantic interest in That Hagen Girl four decades earlier.

Of her diplomatic posts, the strongly anti-communist Temple thought her most exciting position was as ambassador to Czechoslovakia, under George H.W. Bush. "I was told I was going to a Stalinist backwater, one of the toughest countries around... And I thought, 'Good! Let's go get 'em!'"

While in Czechoslovakia, she once eluded the secret police and attended an anti-government rally, and then watched that nation's 1989 Velvet Revolution from a friend's apartment.

Maybe she had a smart moment and meant Ambassador to the African Union (like the European Union)? Or maybe she just wanted to sound smart.

I think that is the last thing to think about it. Obama have to take care and respect the promises he did to the USA citizens .Africa can wait a little.

Why the attacking????????, ok I made a mistake but I still think he should put her in his Cabinet.

No.Oprah would be good in a financial post maybe but she interrupts people to much to be a diplomat.

I am keenly interested in who he picks to be AG.

I don't have any problem with him giving Oprah a job. She is internationally known, would likely work for free and could improve the image of the U.S. in many parts of the world.

Does she interrupt people?

I haven't watched her show in at least ten years. Does she still have a daily show?

Who's attacking?


...I guess Rusel kind of attacked. But not really.

Sorry, I sould have said S. Africa

yep she does.

you think she interrupts people? I've never noticed. But yes I think she would be a wonderful add to the White House

Oh Honey...don't sweat it.

I will point out the obvious...Oprah could probably hire Obama as well as his cabinet and easily triple thier salaries.
