You mean Obama?
You guys wish.
Palin won't be the nominee.
I doubt she even runs.
You mean Obama?
I think she'll get some talk and maybe even declare herself a candidate but ultimately her chances are about as good as Ron Paul's were to to be named the Republican nominee.
We see his actual actions on a regular basis. Keep in mind, that if Palin did become president, she would have a whole new set of realities to base things on, than from the outsider she is.You mean Obama?
You and I both know some interesting secrets we cannot share. It changes our perspective, making it different from others. We have seen changes in Obama from such realizations, and it would be stupid to think her ideals wouldn't be tempered as well.
What i love about Palin, is her being a DC outsider. being an executive knowing how to accomplish things. She is not as educated as the Ivy league crowd, but I see that as another plus. She is a real American. Not an elitist. I honestly believe that she knows how to delegate power, and let the experts steer her on issues.
Think about it. She does have leadership skills. Am I right or wrong?
She has held executive positions, and done well. Am I right or wrong?
Does much else matter?
I''m split about 60/40. I think there's only about a 40% chance she will run.
I'm ok with outsiders. Heck, look at people like Jesse Ventura or Arnold Schwarzenegger. Both were outsiders, and I like both of them. Heck, Jesse Ventura speaks his mind more than more citizens.
What scares me about Palin is her seeming inability to think quickly on her feet, even for simple questions. "All of them" is an answer not even you or I would give to a question as simple as "What magazines do you read?". But she was so flustered trying not to get caught in a "gotcha" comment (even when the question obviously was not that) that she answered stupidly, thinking she would cover all the bases.
She doesn't sound polished, and her policies seem paper-thin, no real meat to them. When questioned, she can't explain intricacies. I mean, what's wrong with elitism? What's wrong with wanting the best people to run our country?
Elitists are "real Americans" too, aren't they? Aren't they running the businesses which are the lifeblood or our economy?
She may be an outsider, but she lacks the backbone to be anything but a shill on the national stage. Her Vice Presidential campaign was a blueprint on how to unconvincingly regurgitate talking points and buzzwords to the appeal of only the most uncritical partisan ear, and I haven't heard anything from her since that convinces me that she is capable of offering any insight into policy that she hasn't studied the night before.
In reality, all she is is a living, breathing wedge issue for people who watch too much cable news to argue about. She's like abortion, prayer-in-school and reparations personified.
If I were the dem's, I would do my best to help Palin keep herself in the news. The more popular she gets, the better chance of her running and if this dumb ing idiot runs, we conservative folk are completely ed.
LnGrrrR...
Should any important decision be made on the spur on the moment?
I do trust that she would take the necessary time to properly assess situations, and complement her staff with their strengths supporting her weaknesses.
I do trust that she know how to do such things right.
She does have nice ties though.
Yeah, but you'd like to think that the leader of the free world could think on his or her feet as well.
You have to remember, she had guidelines to follow that were counter productive to her style.
That style of course being to make an ass out of herself right?
Yeah, another reason I wish she'd disappear from the public conversation. Her "last-desperate-cry-for-attention" Playboy spread clock is ticking.
I agree, she would be more appealing if she were better at it.
Seriously though. When given the time to rationally think though a situation, do you think she would make more mistakes, or less, than recent past presidents?
Oooohhh, I'd pick that up though.........you would too and you know it.
If by "pick up," you mean "Google Image search," then yes, yes I would.
More......she's a ing idiot and it's up to the repubs to find someone that doesn't suck as much as she does......both literally and figuratively.
Sounds like similar criticism that was heaped on a man that went to Eureka College.
Good point.....who the buys magazines anymore......well, except for Palin herself?If by "pick up," you mean "Google Image search," then yes, yes I would.
I'm sure she could read speeches other people wrote off the teleprompter just as good as Obama does.
The GOP was doing great with her nomination until she opened her mouth. Then it was damage control up until the voting.
Well sure, some important decisions should be made spur-of-the-moment... natural disasters, emergency actions, etc etc.
More importantly though, I really doubt her ability to speak without making a blunder to foreign dignitaries. The President is a symbol of power throughout the world, and I think it would demean the post to have someone who seems unable to think quickly and respond intelligently.
If all we needed as a President was someone who listened to others, then made a decision, I would think many more would be capable of the job. As it is, we need more than a "decider".
The GOP was doing great with her nomination until she opened her mouth. Then it was damage control up until the voting.
Actually, when she spoke at the RNC, she had liberal journalists scared less.
Sure, but she also probably struggles with addition and subtraction.......she's an idiot.......a majority of america has no respect for her.......if she runs, she takes votes away from people we'd like in charge, and for that matter, it absolutely kills the chance to get what we need, a conservative President.
Palin.
