Now? Pretty easy: he's got the experience and she doesn't.

Prior to either's VERY short political careers prior to lining up on the national stage? Well, Obama at least did the reading and was familiar with the issues. Palin? She wasn't (and more frighteningly, still isn't after four years of national attention) even able to find major nations on a world map. She's either terminally uninterested or irremediably stupid. Take your pick, she's outta there.

Because Obama would focus like a laser beam on what was the most important issue the day he took office... The economy. With his brilliance, I'm sure he could correct it in a matter of months and no way would he lead us into a double dip recession...

Palin would focus on passing policies and programs that no one wants, extend the Bush tax cuts for the rich, start new undeclared wars... ect.

Which president has been in this position after a single term in your view? Reagan (hated globally, regarded as either deranged or senile), Bush II (hated more, regarded as just plain mentally slow and morally corrupt), Clinton (regarded as simpatico but a dilletante) and so forth.

Not a lot of presidents experience universal love and respect. Obama at least knows how things work at this point.

Palin is beloved by about 20% of Americans and is thought of as a joke by maybe 60-70%, and the rest of the Americans don't even know what year it is. Her best bet is to stay out of politics and be a commentator for Fox and write books and be a symbol and leader of the far right wing, since she will never be a viable candidate for the Presidency.

How do you explain Reagan and Bush II getting elected to second terms?

Both Bushes had the highest approval rating numbers of any President going back to at least 1940 ( I didn't look any farther back). Reagan and Obama share very similar approval numbers.

So you are saying Obama has done more for this country than Reagan did? Really?

There's no substance underneath the good Mi1F looks. There's a reason she won't sit down with actual news people and answer tough questions. She hasn't an original thought in her head.

When visiting the focal point of Paul Revere's famous ride, this was her accounting of the importance of such an historic place.


"He who warned, uh, the British that they weren’t going to be taking away our arms uh by ringing those bells and making sure as he’s riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be secure and we were going to be free and we were going to be armed."


She's a blathering idiot. Now, I don't think any potential president needs to know American History like a PhD. But she was intentionally VISITING that exact church, and not only didn't know why, but wasn't even prepared. She wants the cameras, then can't produce.

I will stand by my assertion that she's probably only worthy of being a checker at Lowe's, but after watching the way Barack talked about changing the way things worked and then loading his cabinet with Goldman Sachs minions and failing to do anything about Wall Street I think we're essentially ****ed as a nation. Nothing is changing any time soon. Even if she did get elected POTUS it wouldn't matter. The political process in this country is in shambles and we have no one to blame but ourselves, we concern ourselves with worthless wedge issues and let the truly rich further entrench the status quo.

True they can all speak the lame political talking points. My point is that's ALL Palin can do. She knows she can't (and thus won't) sit down with a real news person and field important questions. I'm not referring to the Fox shows where she's fed lowball fodder that a chipmonk could answer.


There's a reason she won't hold news conferences with two-way interaction. There's also a reason she won't release her schedule on her bus tour.

She still thinks she's on some Beauty Pageant PR outing. At least her handlers know how to make money off her. I don't blame her for selling out to the Almighty Dollar with her appearance and speech fees, her book deals and her new self-promoting movie.

She is socially and people smart and slick, but nothing I have ever seen from her suggests she is particularly bright in terms of raw intellect. By the standards of a national political figure, I stand by my statement that I think she is an idiot, plain and simple, irrespective of your conclusory statement that she is "quite bright." She is a joke figure to most Americans because people have figured out she doesn't have much substance. If she ran for POUS, I would concede her Oklahoma and Kentucky, but all bets are off for the rest of the states.
