Washington, Dec 20: Media mogul Oprah Winfrey is reportedly house hunting in Washington D. C. so she can be closer to Barack Obama.

The talk show titan is eyeing lavish estates in the area, so that she can easily speak to the President about needful issues, according to sources.

Winfrey's team is apparently scouting for a nine-bedroom property in the ritzy Georgetown neighborhood with a whopping price tag of 50 million dollars, according to The New York Post.

Although, Winfrey has herself not been on a scouting trip to Washington D. C, its her team which is exploring the White House neighborhood.

"She has never personally been to see it," Fox News quoted a source, as telling The New York Post. (ANI)
