    What About the Vetting of Obama?

    All the hand-wringing over the vetting of Sarah Palin by the Obamacrats is classic crocodile tears. The truth is that the Dems are desperate to discredit her because she is a threat. Many people like her and consider her capable -- many of the same people who dislike Obama and are not wowed by his persona and his experience. And he's the number one candidate, not the number two!

    If Obama were ever to undergo the kind of colonoscopy of his political and personal past that Palin is now getting, he'd be cooling his heels in Chicago watching the progress of the Hillary candidacy. There is no way that his rotten associations and total lack of meaningful experience would survive this kind of media attack. Of course, since most of the media are totally in his corner, that will never happen.

    For most of the people who post here, your course of action is simple: vote for Obama. You were going to do that anyway, Palin or no Palin.
