Now that was a powerful speech!
If you are someplace where you cannot watch the video, USA Today has the full transcript here. (However it should be noted that Oprah's delivery is half the magic.)
There is now talk about an Oprah Winfrey presidential run in 2020.
I am certainly not ready to jump on that bandwagon, but I have to say that if my two choices were Tangerine Hitler, and one of the most beloved figures in America, that would not be a hard choice to make at all.
Oprah Winfrey is more compassionate, more intelligent, and simply more competent than Donald Trump has ever been in his entire life.
Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey

Trump spokesperson Kellyanne Conway dismisses comments by Meryl Streep because she did not mention 16 year old disabled boy tortured on Facebook video. Update!
Courtesy of Mediaite:.@KellyannePolls: I didn't hear #MerylStreep use her platform to give a shoutout to the mentally challenged boy who was tortured live on FB. pic.twitter.com/hswzMWOPuF— Fox News (@FoxNews) January 9, 2017
“My initial reaction is I’m glad Meryl Streep has such a passion for the disabled,” said Conway Monday morning. “because I didn’t hear her weigh in and I didn’t hear her use her platform Ainsley to give a shoutout,” to the young boy in Chicago.
Conway continued, “So, I’d like to hear from her today.” Conway, the first woman in history to successful lead a presidential campaign, noted that Trump has repeatedly “debunked” the claims that he publicly mocked the disability of Serge Kovaleski of The New York Times. While Conway spoke, Fox & Friends showed images of Streep with Hillary Clinton.
Yeah I seriously doubt that Meryl Streep is going to respond to this nasty little bitch.
Streep used her national platform to discuss the negative impact that the disgusting antics of the next president was having on the country. And she had every right to do so.
Conway's transparent attempt to distract from her message and shame her, will only work on the people who were ignorant enough to vote for her boss.
And let's face it they already hate everybody in Hollywood.
Update: I think this belongs here.
Now that, is a burn.
Meryl Streep uses Golden Globe speech to slam Donald Trump.
Courtesy of CNN:
Meryl Streep was honored at the Golden Globes for a lifetime of notable work, and she took the opportunity to make a sustained attack on US President-elect Donald Trump.
In a nearly 6-minute address while accepting the Cecil B. DeMille Award, the actress denounced Trump's campaign rhetoric and criticized him for mocking a disabled reporter.
As the audience of Hollywood stars and executives sat in silence, Streep said: "There was one performance this year that stunned me. It sank its hooks in my heart. Not because it was good, there was nothing good about it, but it was effective and it did its job.
"It was that moment when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a disabled reporter. Someone he outranked in privilege, power and the capacity to fight back."
I think we all remember that moment when during the campaign Trump mocked New York Time reporter, Serge Kovalski, for having the temerity to point out that there was no way he saw "thousands" of Muslims celebrating in Jersey City, N.J., as the World Trade Center towers burned and fell during the 9/11 terror attack.
Trump and his flying monkeys have attempted to make excuses or deny that it happened, but we all saw it.
However Trump being Trump he not only felt the need to once again deny that he did this, but then to attack one of our most beloved entertainers as well.

Meryl Streep, one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood, doesn't know me but attacked last night at the Golden Globes. She is a.....— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 9, 2017
Hillary flunky who lost big. For the 100th time, I never "mocked" a disabled reporter (would never do that) but simply showed him.......— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 9, 2017
This, THIS is the guy who supposed to lead out country for the next four years."groveling" when he totally changed a 16 year old story that he had written in order to make me look bad. Just more very dishonest media!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 9, 2017

My favorite moment from last night's Golden Globes.
I laughed way too long and hard at this.
In my defense the audience that was there did the same.
(P.S. Here is the opening.)

"Game Change" walks away with three Golden Globe awards. Including one for Julianne Moore as "Best Actress in a TV movie."
"Game Change" won three of the five Golden Globes it was nominated for, including "Best TV Movie" and "Best Actress in a TV Movie."
In his acceptance speech, while contemplating Moore's performance, director Hal Roach sent a little zinger Sarah Palin's way:
“Now with you and Tina Fey, we have three of the most incredible impersonations of Sarah Palin,” Roach said, “counting Sarah Palin.”
(You can see his acceptance of the best picture award here)
During HER acceptance speech, Julianne Moore could not resist giving a shout out to Katie Couric and Tina Fey for making a "significant difference in the 2008 elections."
(Oh you just know there was a fresh ding in that Wasilla refrigerator after THAT comment!)
Here is Julianne Moore's acceptance speech in its entirety.
