Roseanne Barr: I'm Running for President!

Roseanne Barr, 2012?

On a Thursday appearance on "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno, the actress and reality star announced that she was running for president of the United States!

RELATED: The real POTUS, Barack Obama, is just like Us!

"You know, Jay, I decided that since you're the one that got Arnold Schwarzenegger elected as governor of California, that I wanted to make my announcement here on your show because I really wanted to ask for your support, " the 58-year-old said. "My announcement is that I am running for president of the United States."

2. Hard to tell if she is serious or not.
Went to the site. She said she was serious...and then just made up a 3rd party: the American Green Tea Party.

So if she really does run, it will be as a 3rd party.
But again, she's talking about making this into a reality TV show...

Mixed signals. Ambiguity. Yes and no.
My gut feeling is this is an attempt to get back in show biz.

10. She is running third party
so she is not a primary candidate. though obama supporters do not seem to know the difference between primary challenges and general elections.

8. Oh please--go back to your little reality show and just leave it.
Jay Leno is a GOP toady, too. Such a disappointment. His wife is the only Leno with any class.

11. She announced that on some other late night show a few months ago.
Yet there seems to be so little actual campaigning. Lack of an actual campaign. I couldn't even find a website for the campaign.

I think she's just trying to get people to watch her new show.

12. Who gives a shit really?
More idiocy for Americans to be distracted by while we are further screwed by our corporate overlords.

13. This is fake, right?
It's bad enough that MeToo (a classic-TV station in Chicagoland) continues to glorify Roseanne (the series) with endless "Roseanne LOVES Me" and "Roseanne BELONGS on Me" promos. :mad:
