I would just like these same questions to be asked of Obama...since their experience-levels are commensurate...we should be equally concerned about both.
Palin could have had a perfectly nice interview if Gibson had asked her, "How does your family feel about you breaking this glass ceiling?" "How did it feel to give that speech at the convention?" etc...instead, he asked her tough questions...no one should whine about that...but everyone should be asking why Obama isn't hit just as hard in his interviews. (Instead...Obama was hit hard during a debate...and the left went nuts and asked for peoples heads!)
People have been questioning Obama's experience for the last 19 months... Clinton and all the other democrats he ran against questioned his experience... the media questioned his experience...even McCain has questioned his experience....the PUBLIC decided he was experienced ENOUGH...
see that's the inherent difference between Obama and Palin... the PEOPLE got to decide Obama was experienced enough for them... Palin was chosen by McCain (after running a campaign based on experience no less) therefore the question of her experience is legit because the PEOPLE didn't know anything about her prior to her being placed second in line for the Presidency.
As for Palin breaking the glass ceiling? she didn't... Hillary Clinton did that... Palin is like a second string quarter back that comes in at the end of the game after the first stringer has gotten them a comfortable lead and they win the game without much effort on the second stringers part... Hillary did all the work... Palin and the GOP seem to want to get the credit.
