Is Oprah Winfrey going to be part of Barack Obama's kitchen cabinet?
Or is she just looking to buy her own kitchen cabinets?
The talk show titan is reportedly looking at ultra-luxury properties in Washington, DC; something suitable for, say, possible consultations with the President of the United States.
Insiders tell the New York Post that Winfrey's people have been scouting a nine-bedroom mansion in D.C.'s swanky Georgetown neighborhood with a whopping price tag of $50 million.
"She has never personally been to see it," another source tells the paper.
But FOXNews.com has researched listings in the area and found a single house that fits that description: a $49 million, nine-bedroom, four-bathroom mansion on three-and-a-half acres with parking for 100 cars, a gatehouse, and an additional building overlooking the Washington monument.
In case Oprah has any very special guests. |

| I would (much) rather see a successful business person like Oprah advising President Obama than to continue another four years with Bush and his "faith based" advisers. Maybe you long for the Reagan years when fortune tellers were regularly consulted by the first lady? |

She can damn well do as she pleases!
She made her money the good old fashioned way - honestly. The lady works hard. She adds to the good of the world, however much you (and I too ) might not like her "personality" or influence. Better her than bombs, shooting, violence on TV.
Further, please don't take FOX as an "informative source". There is enough gossip on that network to make Oprah look like the next Cronkite.
Lol, when liberals make money they are shouted down as "sell outs" but when a conservative makes money -- they are shouted out as "what is best about America". Talk about a double standard.

If you mean vomiting at the New York Post/FOX News reporting, I am with you. This is yellow journalism at its best - all hyperbole and speculation and not one actual fact other than a house exists in the Georgetwon area with a lot of parking.
This article is definately for the "can't read" set. |

If you were my student I'd make you write "definitely beautiful" 1,000 times so you would never misspell those words again!
("beautiful" is a preemptive strike) |
