Common Really Wants Oprah To Be President Of The United States
Common is all about Oprah 2020, saying that her being voted in will bring America back to “compassionate leaders.”
“Of course, I think she should run, but I don’t think she will,” he said to Variety. “I think what we all got a taste of when she did her Golden Globes speech, it just reminded us when leaders that are compassionate and leaders that care, what it would be like to have a leader like that again.”
“One thing that I loved about President Obama was, no matter what his politics was, you could tell he cared about human beings,” he continued. “And at the core, Oprah is one of those dynamic human beings that cares about people, and we all saw that light, like, ‘Wow, this would be amazing.’ Of course, it would be amazing to have a woman, a black woman, in that position — but more importantly, just somebody that loves and that cares.”
