Oh God, Please No! Let Sarah go back to her swap meet store never to return to the national stage. Let the Alaskans take care of her. Did you learn nothing from the debate and Katie Couric, or the third grader? Haven't we enough problems in the country without having her continue to spew ignorance as if it were a plus? As if we, parents of Special need children haven't enough to worry about; McCain decided in his ineptness; to toss her to us as spokesperson for our children. This woman who chose to ridicule fruit fly research in progress at UNC, not Paris, as a waste of money, albeit her nephew is autistic. She is certifiable! We do not need her on any cable station. My suggestion is after the election she is isolated in an igloo in remote Alaska and not let back into the community, not to mention the nation, until the vaccination to kill ignorance takes effect. And let's send Hassleback with her. No Palin on cable; please God,NO!
You talk chat about all Obama has but what does Palin have? Nothing from nothing leaves nothing. You could not have listened to this woman and truly believe that she is VP material. This chick is totally out of her league. and if you understand and believe her, you are too. When you talk about all the experience she has, are you sure? I believe she is able to garner votes but "first dude" governs the state. Just a few minutes listening to her makes that almost crystal clear. This woman hasn't the sense of a lemon and the only taste she has is in her mouth. She can't even name a newspaper or magazine that she reads and does not even know the job description for the position to which she aspires. She knows what "first dude" has told her they plan to make the description if elected. Honestly do you believe that this woman is governing a state and is qualified to be the Vice president of this nation? I got a bridge in California I'd like to sell you.
I was hoping for Bill Richardson or Susan Rice would be the one to fill that spot or maybe even John Kerry, I'll wait and see. I will trust him to be right as he has proved to be so far.
Why should President Bush worry about all these things at this point of his career. He hasn't worried about then for the last 8 years. He's going to continue to be the same smug rascal that he's proven to be until the end. Leopards don't change their spots.
Can we give the man a chance to accept the oath of office? Just because you see the same people being placed in a position does not mean that you will get the same results. We can't even wait until President-elect Obama really becomes President before we start to tear his coming position apart. I say wait and see what is going to happen. The people he has chosen will have to set their labors towards his agenda, not Clinton's. We could best spend this tranfer of title time better by concentration on the working to exact some punishment of this bunch of thugs leaving office. I think it is a crime that they and their pals are allowed to walk away with their pockets full and blood on their hands after all the evil they have done to this country and its citizens and not punished for their actions.
We all learned that John McCain wasn't playing with a full deck back during the campaign. This man has always acted a bit strange to me. He is a sore loser and we all know that compounded with the fact that their are still remnants from the war. It does not surpise me at all and I am certain that a lot of the mean spirited republicans are egging him on. That he sat in conference with President Obama after the election was what I found strange. He is certainly acting more in character at this time. This is just what I expected of him. And I shall certainly call him JEALOUS.
I think the most perfect article on the press conference last night is found over at Jack&Jill Politics.com in an article entitled "BECAUSE I LIKE TO KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT". This is the best I have read in a long time. Could never repeat it all here but you must visit that website and look for that article. I think that the the naesayers are so afraid that the president will succeed and that's why they are not backing him. If they felt that his plans would fail they would all be at his back so that they could say "See, told you." Democrates are so use to not being in charge that even when they stand a chance of fixing things by being in charge they shoot themselves in the foot. I watched Evan Byn sit there for 8 years and never form any kind of committee, now all of a sudden he forms a committe to fight his own President and party. Do Dems not know how to win?
you all are about a sick bunch of idiots. You know envy is one of the Seven deadly sins....and since you all sound like a bunch of ignorant wing nuts....I know you are christians as well. I will continue to work hard to insure your numbers continue to lower. You all sound like weapons of mass destruction. Get a life.
