Maria Bravo got the conversation going with her review of a book about women in business. I was amazed that no one knew Maria Bartiromo. I also noted that the Presidents of UNT and SWT as well as the recent Deans of the College of Business are female, as well as the Accounting Dept Chairs at both schools. Well here ia an article about how different these two apporaches can be – Oprah for Obama adn Barbara for Hillary.
Indeed i don’t see Barbara Striesand as someone exciting voters. The interesting thing about Oprah is that in the past she has not been political, hardly the case for Ms Streisand. Whatever I think, Oprah is a media juggernaut, a sort of one woman media empire in her own right. Barbara has many friends in Hollywood. And now Obama has apparently pullled up even or ahead in iowa. All of a sudden this long drawn out Hillary is a slam dunk campaign, may just be a horse race.
PS The references in the article are to a movie and the theme song The Way We Were starring Redford and Striesand. No doubt this wil be the way Obama will try to cast Hillary, as were not now.
