8. I think Oprah is probably well-meaning, but definitely gullible.

She has certainly done good things, including donating a lot of money to charities. Her whole shtick on her tv show, though, is emotional and "caring" (and I have no reason to doubt her sincerity). This quality, unfortunately, seems to have led her to promote some people and ideas that are superficially attractive but completely without scientific merit - and therefore if not downright destructive, are at least useless and a waste of time and money. Maybe she sincerely wants to help people, but she has allowed herself to be duped into allowing these people to dupe her audiences.

Just apart from the fact that the last thing we need is another inexperienced tv personality as a presidential candidate, I don't think she has the judgment necessary for the job.
