Well, she does live on a nut farm!

Roseanne Barr announced, “I am running for President of the United States,” on Thursday’s edition of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Said Roseanne: “I’m totally serious, cause I want to be part of the debates, because I want to represent the taxpayer.

"In fact, I’m choosing the taxpayers as my vice president.”

Roseanne's inspiration to do both a reality show, and quest for the Oval Office, came from an unlikely source: Sarah Palin.

“That’s kinda what got me to thinking that I too should run for president, if she can,” Roseanne said.

Roseanne, 58, said she won't be running under the banner of the Democrat or Republican party: “I’m not for either party because they both suck and they’re both a bunch of criminals ... so I made up my own party, it’s America's Green Tea Party.”

Roseanne’s platforms: No taxes, forgive all student loans, legalize marijuana, eliminate money.

"Everything will be based on barter and growing and eating vegetables," she said.

Roseanne's Nuts airs on Lifetime Wednesday at 9/8c.

Yeah right!! The country is in such a horrible mess (thanks Obama) and considering she's a horrible mess, it would only take away from the serious issues and people. That's what they do, distract, make jokes, fundraise and party.

She's funny and she'd be a better president than any of the idiots running now

Lighten up Rainbow that happened a billion years ago Not to mention they asked a comedian to sing to start with what did they expect of course she would try to be funny. Never expecting the backlash. Give Rosie a break already she did her time

She's getting
free publicity for her new reality show. She did this when she accused her father of molestation so we'd
forget about her disrespectful rendition of the National Anthem.
