"Roseanne Barr, 2012?\r\nOn 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!&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;You know, Jay, I decided that since you&amp;apos;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, &amp;quot; the 58-year-old said. &amp;quot;My announcement is that I am running for president of the United States.&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m totally serious,&amp;quot; the Roseanne&amp;apos;s Nuts star added. &amp;quot;&amp;apos;Cause I want to be a part of the debates, because I want to represent the tax payer. In fact, I&amp;apos;m choosing the tax payers as my vice president.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nSo what exactly inspired the former sitcom star to set her sights on the White House? Sarah Palin! &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s because of her that I decided to do a reality show,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;That&amp;apos;s kinda what got me thinking that I too should run for president, if she can... I feel like she&amp;apos;s stealing my act anyway!&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m not for [Democrats or Republicans] because they both suck and they&amp;apos;re a bunch  of criminals,&amp;quot; Barr added. So what political party does she belong to? One she made up -- &amp;quot;American&amp;apos;s Green Tea Party.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nEarly Friday morning she tweeted that she really was &amp;quot;serious&amp;quot; about running for office. Why? &amp;quot;So I can speak on behalf of the taxpayers of this country who are dissed to the max,&amp;quot; she said.\r\nTell Us: Would  you vote for Roseanne for president?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
