OMG! Palin isn’t Remotely Presidential
Sarah Palin. WTF?
Whoa. There are literally dozens of women I could easily see as president of the United States of America. Sarah Palin just doesn’t happen to be one of them. I’m watching her “intro” speech and the political operative in me is just stunned.
To be totally honest, she’d need to be coached up to be a decent state house candidate — I’ve worked with better candidates — male and female — right here in southeast Pennsylvania. This is ridiculous…can anyone seriously see this woman as our president?
And you have to ask that question, with John McCain 72 years old — and a history of cancer — he’d be one of the oldest presidents in history, which would make Palin’s succession to the White House a real, distinct possibility.
I’m sorry, forget the issues, this woman is not equipped or ready to lead the free world. Can you imagine how hard Valdimir Putin is laughing at the idea of taking on Sarah Palin?
Add on her lack of practical experience (leadership isn’t playing point guard on her high school basketball team). Add on the fact that it’s evident that the McCain campaign seemed to have slipped up on the vetting process (the messy story about her firing her ex-brother-in-law as a state trooper is going to nullify virtually all of her “reform” credentials) and it looks like McCain just drove his campaign off a cliff.

Mike,
If George W. can be president, so can Sarah Palin. Two governors with limited experience and limited intelligence.
The contrast in tickets with the Dems couldn’t be greater. The big story to me is how close the election will be.
Actually I think she is a wonderful choice.
1.She took on unethical practices in her state, by her own party might I add.
2.Cut programs and spending to work within a budget in her state in an executive position.
3.Turned down the wasteful “bridge to nowhere” granted their state at the federal level.
4.Has an 80% approval rating as governor
5.Operated the state budget to a surplus and gave it back to the people to the tune of $1200.
To name a few.
What has Obama accomplished?
1.Elected to the Senate (non executive role) and within months started campaigning for president.
2.Voted against SB 1082 in his state in 2003 which would have protected babies that survive abortion attempts. His own peers on the federal level didn’t even touch that.
3.He was the chairperson for the Health and Human Services Committee during that vote, so he understood what he was voting against.
4.Associated with a known terrorist who is unapologetic about his terrorism.
5.Promises to raise income taxes. Don’t be fooled by his promise not to raise “capital gains taxes” on small businesses and start-ups. They don’t pay capital gains taxes, they pay income taxes. Ask anyone who owns a small business.
Sarah Palin and John McCain complement each other and can learn from each other. Where John is weak in experience, she is strong, and where she is weak in experience, he is strong. For the first time I see Obama’s campaign in trouble.
I have serious issues with this pick. And I do agree, McCain’s health and age make his choice of Vice President an important one. Which leads me to wonder why, in this day and age, one is allowed to choose his or her Vice Presidential running mate. I’m starting to think that maybe, we ought to rethink that, lol.
