The problem with Sarah Palin (who supports profiling) is that she is angry for being profiled as a bimbo, although she behaves like (and as far as I can tell is) one. When you pose in an American flag bikini with an automatic rifle, people tend to not take you as seriously. That's just the reality. Also, I never heard her complaining that the judges at the beauty pageant she participated in were sexist. Sarah Palin is an embarrassment to strong, INTELLIGENT, independent women who are either in politics or wish to some day be in them. You can't go around winking and saying "gosh darnit" as opposed to relaying real, substantive messages. The best thing for this country is for Caribou Barbie to keep hanging around, because she repulses moderates and strengthens the legions of progressives in this nation.
If Obama can sit in the big chair, so can the "bimbo". He's proven anyone can do it.
LOL...that doesn't pass the laugh test. Are you kidding? Obama is far more accomplished than Sarah Palin is. He is educated and most importantly, literate. Can you name anything substantial Sarah Palin has ever said, beside the fact that she has serious foreign policy experience via Alaskan islands' close proximity to Russia?
You sound like an anti-intellectual, anti-knowledge kind of person, so I would expect you to diminish Obama's credentials. Can you say anything of substantive value at all? Let's hope Obama addresses the education crisis, because people like you prove why our labor force is losing its luster compared to other countries. Please read a book, even if it's "Going Rogue." LOL...such a serious policy book. I wish I could have a ghost writer articulate all of my settling of the scores. To Caribou Barbie's credit, the fact that parts of that book sound like a 7th grader's submission to a creative writing journal, I think she actually wrote more than we think.
I see that we have another intellectual egg head on the board. What has Obama ever ACCOMPLISHED as a legislator in the Illinois senate, as a community organizor or as a U.S senator for all of 150 days in the senate?? I could care less what he says he is going to do or that he is, as you stated literate, or educated. WHAT'S HE DONE??????????????????????????????? To qualify himself for the President of the United States??????????????????????
Here is just a small portion of what Palin has accomplished, and this e-mail is a quick summary that is printed in her book and it has been FACT CHECKED by 11 different Associated Press Journalists. BTW Obama's 2 books have never been fact checked by anyone.
A View From Alaska: By Dewey Whetsell
" The last forty-five of my sixty-six years I've spent in a commercial fishing town in Alaska. I understand Alaska politics but never understood national politics well until this last year. Here's the breaking point: Neither side of the Palin controversy gets it. It's not about persona, style, rhetoric, it's about doing things. Even Palin supporters never mention the things that I'm about to mention here."
1. Democrats forget when Palin was the Darling of the Democrats, because as soon as Palin took the governor's office away from a fellow Republican and tough SOB, Frank Murkowski, she tore into the Republicans' Corrupt Bastards Club. (CBC) and sent it packing. Many of it's members are now residing in state housing and wearing orange jumpsuits. The Democrats reacted by skipping around the yard, throwing confetti, and singing " La la la la" ( well, you know how they are). Name another governor in this country who has ever done anything similar. But while you're thinking, I'll continue."
2. Now, with the CBC gone, there were fewer Alaska politicians to protect the giant oil companies here. So Palin constructed and enacted a new system of splitting the oil profits called "ACES." ExxonMobil ( the biggest corporation in the world) protested, and Sarah told it, " Don't let the door hit you in the stern on your way out." It stayed, and Alaska residents went from being merely wealthy to being filthy rich. Of course, the other huge international oil companies fell meekly into line. Again, give the name of any other governor in the country who has done anything similar.
3. The other thing she did when she walked into the governor's office is that she got the list of state requests for federal funding for projects known as "pork." She went through the list, took 85 percent of them out, and placed them in the " when-hell-freezes-over" stack. She let locals know that if we need something built, we'll pay for it ourselves. Maybe she figured she could use the money she got from selling the previous governor's jet because it was extravagant. Maybe she could use the money she saved by dismissing the governor's cook ( remarking that she could cook for her own family), giving back the state vehicle issued to her ( maintaining that she already had a car) and dismissing her state-provided security force ( never mentioning--I imagine--that she was packing heat herself.) I'm still waiting to hear the names of those other governors.
4. Even with her much-ridiculed " gosh and golly" manerisms, she managed to put together a totally new approach to getting a natural gas pipeline built that will be the biggest private construction project in the history of North America. No one else could do it even if they tried. If that doesn't impress you, you're trying too hard to be unimpressed while watching her do things like this while baking up a batch of brownies with her other hand.
5. For thirty years, Exxon held a lease to do exploratory drilling at a place called Point Thomson. It made excuses the entire time for why it couldn't start drilling. In truth it was holding it as an investment. No governor for thirty years could make it get started. This summer, she told Exxon she was revoking it's lease and kicking it out. It protested and threatened court action. She shrugged and reminded them that she knew the way to the courthouse. Alaska won again.
6. President Obama wants the nation to be on 25 percent renewable resources for electricity by 2025. Sarah went to the legislature and submitted her plan for Alaska to be at 50 percent renewable by 2025. We are already at 25 percent. I can give you more specifics about things done, as opposed to style and persona. Everbody wants to be cool, sound cool, look cool. But that's just a cover-up.
I am still waiting to hear from liberals the names of other governors who can match what mine has done in two and a half years. I won't be holding my breath."
