Okay, everybody knows that Oprah Winfrey was helpful to President-elect Barack Obama, by showing him some public support during his run for the highest political office in the land. She is credited with throwing around her influence on his behalf and prompting some of her Hollywood pals to make generous contributions to his campaign.
It seems now, though, that Obama may have a bit of a problem getting rid of her, post-election.
Rumor now has it that Oprah has been scouting out a $50 million mansion in the Georgetown area of Washington, D.C. The showplace reportedly has nine bedrooms and fourbathrooms and is allegedly not too far from where the White House is.
Is this just coincidental or, as some gossips are speculating, is her intent to move to D.C., in hopes of levying her influence to the new Prez?
Many admire Oprah as a good talk show host and a great donator to charity. Some critics feel, however, that she is on a huge power trip and a move to Washington means that she intends to try to influence the brand new President to support her own personal agenda.
Let's hope he has the guts to resist her pushiness.
