have rolled in the last couple of months, we ain’t seen nothing yet! I personally think that Oprah isn’t willing to take a demotion in order to become the next president of the United States. She’s smarter than that and she’s of far more use to this country as a free agent, but she COULD run this country with her eyes closed. I predict our next president will be a woman! And Congress will turn pink over the next couple of election cycles. Ditto the Arkansas Legislature. Bring it! Deathbyinches The root question as I see it is whether or not being elected U.S. president and never having held a nother public of f ice is rational or even sane. In my opinion the clear answer is no. The answer doesn’t depend on whether the views of someone agree wholly or partially with our own, but simply on whether the job of being president requires some prior experience that clearly indicates the individual can handle the job. We witness daily, and have for the past year, what happens when we elect a clearly unsuitable person, an ongoing train wreck, to the office. Must we turn the office of president into some realit y prog ram or celebrit y contest? If so, let me off that train. Sound Policy It would be worth it to have Oprah as president just to watch all the red necks turn purple. Silverback66 Why not? She is better qualified to hold the office than Obama was. R azorblade Well, yes, let’s elect another entertainer with absolutely no experience in government. It’s worked so well before.

Correction Billy Fleming’s Jan. 4 column, “Will Arkansas join the red state revolt?” mistakenly dated state Republicans ending the Democratic supermajority in the state House and Senate as 2008 instead of 2010. It also misstated that Republicans have had a stranglehold on state government for more than a decade.
