That coat looks too big for Jackie. I wonder if someone lent it to her. I don't recall what the weather was like the night of that dinner. The day was pretty cold, I'm sure. She said she sat there and was cold. They should have had her inside around the heater keeping her lungs warm. Yes. Also, she'd been sick & had lost her voice that week.

I never meant to create a controversy or be political. I was just trying to respond to a thread by Ben.

I agree, your clarification is much more germane than the other post. Thanks

I have seen a lot of tweets that Oprah Winfrey's speech at the Golden Globes was meant to launch her Presidential campaign. If she gets the nomination and wins, I wonder if Jackie would get another chance to sing the SSB at the inauguration. Jackie has of course sung for her in the past and appeared on her farewell show.
Disclaimer, I am not indicating my support or lack of support of any candidacy. I am just suggesting that it is in the realm of possibility that Jackie could sing the anthem again or participate in another way in an inauguration.
Comments?

If you are asking for opinions on Oprah running for President, that would in deed be political, which is against Forum rules.

I am asking about whether others think that Jackie might sing the SSB and how likely it would be.

I believe there is no doubt that, if asked, Jackie would accept any offer to sing for her Country. Plus Jackie herself said she was going to try to sing for as many U.S. President as she can. And she has shown she feels honored every time she has been ask to sing for her country, be it the National Christmas Tree Lighting, The National Prayer Breakfast, A Capitol Fourth, Memorial Day, Presidential Inauguration, or even the Founder's Day benefit to Chuck Yeager.

Not likely that a President-Elect Winfrey would ask Jackie to sing at her inauguration. How many singers have sung the National Anthem for more than one inauguration? However, Jackie may be invited to the inaugural dinner and be asked to entertain the guests. www.newsday.com/entertainment/music/presidential-inauguration-performers-through-the-years-1.12962245

Comments? The question isn't only IF Jackie would sing for her in three years, but WHY didn't Oprah stand up for Jackie one year ago when she was being lambasted by her buddies on the 'The View' counsel of opinioned women. One comment from her can move mountains. Such as "This is the music I want in my house this Christmas."

Because she is as much an anti-American leftist that supports the globalist as those on the View, who also loved Jackie, before she sang at the Inauguration QUESTION for Oprah, what about all the old Blacks Racists, with the same type hatred. OR the Non-White middle aged, young adults, and children, who have for the last 60 years been indoctrinated to be Racists, by the LEFT, to hate Whites? Look in a mirror Oprah. Look in a mirror Oprah.

If I have understood Oprah correctly, she may be mistaken in her conclusion.
Simply getting rid of a generation will not work. It would be more efficacious for us as individuals (of any race) and fortunate for those around us, to discover compassion and understanding for others before we die, because then this discovery would benefit others who interact with us in society. Many are tempted to overlook the fact that it is an entire culture* that must 'die' because that is what passes on prejudice in a most insideous manner. Only if individuals change during their lifetime, will society change.
Individuals who win a victory over their own personal prejudices are not pulled into the ignorance of a society. They live in the world but they are not of it. By their example, many will be inspired to do the same.
*EDIT: By this I do not mean necessarily our entire 'American culture' but, more specifically, any local or sub-culture within our borders that promotes prejudice. If our American culture as a whole were to promote prejudice, then, of course, it too must 'die' (change) if we are to ever have domestic peace.

Like Oprah, we still have time to redeem ourselves.
