Roseanne Barr Announces: “I Am Running For President” [VIDEO]

VIDEO

(NBC)

Roseanne Barr announced last night on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno“: “I am running for President of the United States.”

The former sitcom star, who was showered in red, white, and blue confetti, claimed, “I’m totally serious.”

She explained to Leno, “I want to be part of the debates, because I want to represent the tax payers, and in fact, I’m choosing the tax payers as my vice president.”

The talk show host even had bumper stickers and buttons made up for presidential run.

When asked whether Sarah Palin influenced her decision, Barr quipped, “It’s because of her that I decided to do a reality show,” and then noted, “That’s kinda what got me to thinking that I too should run for president… if she can.”

Barr stated she’s not running as a Republican or a Democrat.

“I’m not for either party ’cause they both suck and they’re both a bunch of criminals,” said Barr, adding, “So I made up my own party. It’s America’s Green Tea Party.”

Of course, like Donald Trump, who floated a possible presidential bid, which resulted in a ratings boost for “Celebrity Apprentice,” Barr is trying to lift the numbers of her new show, “Roseanne’s Nuts,” which follows her as she runs a nut farm in Hawaii.

Check out the video below of Barr’s presidential announcement and platform, and share your thoughts.

    Could she really be any worse than some of the other candidates we have had over the years? I would be as likely to give her the shot to earn my vote as anyone else.

    Aside from the fact that this is just to garner attention for her new show, anyone like her who actually does run only serves to give whomever is in the lead during voting an even bigger lead. Voting for someone who will not win, just to make a statement, makes sure that the person you are voting against has a better chance of winning. It’s a wasted vote, just so you can say you did it. Have we learned nothing from the past??

  • Max

    Yes. Yes she would be considerably worse than ANYone else we’ve had in the past. I’d vote for Palin before I’d vote for Bar

    Like Trump, I think she is doing it for ratings… Trump at least help bring an end to most people, the debate to where Obama was born, by pushing the President enough to make him show his original (something that should have been done a while ago-the whole country looked like idiots, including Obama). If she was really going to run for President, I would say ‘GO FOR IT’ ! As long as Barr has money and is not doing it for crazy reasons. Washington is out of hand. People running for office ‘MIGHT THINK THEY ARE DOING IT FOR THE PEOPLE’ but the majority of them, once they get there, join whatever CLICHE and are now out for themselves and the party they fall under. Screw us, the taxpayer. We need a new THIRD PARTY-One that will go in there and LIMIT TERMS for Senators and Congress- These should not be LIFE JOBS! These people, Dems or Rep. have no idea how their people are feeling, living. They give themselves automatic raises, while we do not get raises, or even worse, have no jobs.. Their healthcare will be exempt from this ‘obama care’ THEY VOTED THROUGH… You are in for one term and you get lifetime care… THEY DO NOT LIVE IN THE REALWORLD! and how can you vote in your own raises, comps. etc. ??? Another office should be seeing this or A GENERAL VOTE? Arent we their BOSSES? IT IS TIME TO FIRE EVERYONE IN WASHINGTON AND START OVER.. BRING ROSEANN, TRUMP AND ANYONE ELSE ON……IF THEY ARE SERIOUS AND HAVE A PLAN.. Almost any plan can not be anymore ridiculous than what is going on now. Like this debt ceiling. The news and the president made it sound like everyone should dig a bunker, get a gas mask and pray…. and the vote-not just for the Debt Ceiling, so much more was added on. AS USUAL. WHO GOT RID OF THE LINE BY LINE VETO?
