We are deeply skeptical of this New York Post item claiming that Oprah Winfrey is considering buying a home in Washington so that she can be closer to the Obamas.

For Washington's thousands of college seniors, this means job hunting, leaving the friendly confines of campus and the prospect of moving into your parents' basement. It also means a litany of platitudes, advice and well-wishes from commencement...
