Sarah Palin Could Be President Of The United States Of America!!!

We have watched the video (thanks to BU family member); we have taken a very deep breath after doing so, and we have to ask the big question. Do Americans understand that Sarah Palin could be President of the United States of America? We have tried very hard to be objective in our assessment of Sarah Palin. We understand from a political strategy perspective why she was selected but is it worth the risk?

Here is another question: Is it too late for John McClain to replace Palin as running mate?

    The financial crisis has Americans confused. Many genuinely believe that they are voting for Palin and not John.

    That was the most pathetic interview I have ever seen for a dignitary of any country. She won a beauty show? She wasn’t interviewed? Had she been in any of the Miss BarbadosWorld or Universe Show in little Barbados,in the question and answer section she wouldn’t ever be place last, she would have been disqualified. Is shows the quality of the person who chose her. Birds of a feather flock together. That woman is DUMB.

    I first read the article yesterday, on Yahoo I think it was, about her comments on Alaska-Russia. I really had a little giggle while at the same time disgusted. But now that I seen this video clip it wasn’t even funny. This from a future president. Hell no! Americans wake up!

    P.S. She actually only left USA once (and i think it was recent and short – correct me if I’m wrong). I’d say she knows nothing of the outside world.

    Concerning the question – Is it too late for John McClain to replace Palin as running mate?

    My answer is better late than never. However, If he does that I’m sure it’ll be the death of his campaign. It may fear better though if she resigns. Either way, Obama/Biden will have a field day.

    She’s only had 3 interviews and since announced been shielded by the Republicans from the press so much so that yesterday (or was it day before) CNN’s Brown called it sexist and was really upset about it.

    Citizen, you are correct. Actually they say she only recently got the passport. A few weeks ago was the first time that she left the USA. That clip was as sad as it can get. Is that the best that they could find. If hilary clinton was running with Obama she would have her for breakfast.

    Sarah Palin has more executive experience than Barack Obama. Sarah Palin is not running for President.

    ….Sarah Palin needs to understand that it is ok to travel to all interviews and speaking engagements with a TELEPROMPTER.

    Rather than John McCain change Sarah Palin the internet rumour blogs have been going crazy with talk about Barack changing Biden. That after his first debate he will resign because of health reason. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Poor Biden tought television was invented in 1929. The DNC has dismiss the rumour. ha ha ha ha ha

    Joe Biden agrees with all of us.
    —————–
    Sensing a possibility for embarrassment, Mr. Biden quickly moved in. “Make no mistake about this,” he told the questioner. “Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Let’s get that straight. She’s a truly close personal friend, she is qualified to be president of the United States of America, she’s easily qualified to be vice president of the United States of America, and quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me. But she’s first rate, I mean that sincerely, she’s first rate, so let’s get that straight.”

    If the U.S. presidency were an insurance policy, both John McCain and Barack Obama would be cleared for coverage.

    Obama has a history of smoking, and McCain is 72 years old with a history of skin cancer. But neither candidate is a bad bet to live through two terms as president of the United States, according to a statistical analysis performed by an actuarial firm.

    The analysis is similar to those used by insurance companies to determine the longevity, health and well-being of the people they insure.

    Sorry David I do not have to do that. Americans are already of the view that the American Media is politically biased, thats why their viewership and readership numbers are way down. Just goggle ‘Journalist who favor democrats” their lack of objectivity is glaring, not good actors at all.

    ===========================
    You can call it whatever. The question and the interview has no relevance to how i view Sarah Palin. A view that i might add that is inform by her record of executive experience.
    …..No i did not watch it. quite frankly i rather not have to listen to her voice for too long. 🙂 These debates are entertainment, and have always been meaningless in determine the ability of a person to do the job. Uh mean if a person can use a teleprompter where ever they go just speaks to the uselessness of them all to determine anything worthwhile. The woman has a record of executive experience, and she is not running for President.

    ….By all accounts she did terrible. Just like all accounts said that Barack did terrible at the Saddle back church (he didn’t have his teleprompter) I did not watch that either. 🙂

    We’re not referring to a debate but to a TV Interview. While it is true she is running for Vice President, make no mistake about it – if the President goes or in his absence she WILL BE President (if Republicans win, of course). Thus, this VP role is not to be taken lightly. She’s the runner up, that means that one day she may be be first – the P.

    Second, if you haven’t watch the interview or at least the clip – how can you really honestly make a comment about it? Is that how we people judge? Why even bother to comment on something you haven’t seen at all? The clip/interview is the main reason behind this thread/discussion. If you haven’t seen it – it may be best to stay out of the talk about it. (I feel like what I’m writing is in futility!)

    Citizen, there was a joke during the Bush 1 presidency that if he ever died in office the secret service was to shoot the VP. 🙂 The same media conjured up and driven fake concern is here with us again. I think she would do a fine job as President, all she has to do as Barack have said and that i am sure you agree with, is to surround herself with wise council. But the comparison has been made between Sarah Palin lack of experience and Barack lack of experience and the Obamanites have not to my mind put a counter argument to this striking similarity that answers the lack of concern of an inexperience President from day one should Barack win and not John McCain. Isn’t this equally of concern to you? or is it but your ideological positions and objections takes precedent? 🙂 🙂

    Oh my, the woman is a dunce, oh my goodness, what a disgrace, and they picked her for a VP candidate. She is a good moose hunter though and I hear she can well and pluck chickens and slaughter cows, you see she is really a butcher, take off she Sears suit and you have butcher. She would have come in last in the Miss Barbados World, but she would not have made it to the Miss Guyana World, no butchers in that contest, only girly girls, plus Palin batty too flat anyway.

    Below is a transcript of that part of the interview:

    In the interview with CBS News anchor Katie Couric on Thursday, Sarah Palin was asked “You sighted Alaska’s proximity to Russia as part of your foreign policy experience. What did you mean by that?”

    Palin responded: “That Alaska has a very narrow maritime border between a foreign country Russia and on our other side the land ah boundary that we have with ah Canada. It, It’s funny that a comment like that was, ah kind of made to am chara ah I don know, you know? Reporters.”

    Couric: “Mock?”

    Palin: “Yah, mocked, I guess that’s the word, yah, am”

    Couric: Well explain to me why that enhances your foreign policy credentials?

    Palin: Well, it certainly does because our our next-door neighbors are foreign countries. They’re in the state that I am the executive of and – there in Russia.

    Couric: Have you ever been involved with any negotiations, for example, with the Russians.

    Palin: “We have trade missions back and forth, we we do. It’s very important when when you consider even national security issues with Russia as Putin rears his head and and ah comes into the air space of the United States of America, where, where do they go? It, It’s Alaska. It’s just right over the border. It is from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there. They are right next to am to our state.”

    Those were the words, but watch the video and see her facial expressions and body language and you’ll clearly see it’s worst that just mere words.

    What Sarah Palin hasn’t said is better than what she has said.

    I listened to the 3 interviews she has given so far… 1. Charles Gibson; 2. Sean Hannity; 3. Katie Couric. I concluded that the more the monkey climbs the more he shows his tail; whether it’s a good or bad thing is left to be seen.

    From Wikipedia:
    “Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business (1985), is a book by Neil Postman in which he argues that media of communication inherently influence the conversations carried out over them. Postman posits that television is the primary means of communication for our culture and it has the property of converting a culture’s conversations with itself into entertainment, so much so that public discourse on important issues has disappeared. Since the treatment of serious issues as entertainment inherently prevents them from being treated as serious issues and indeed since serious issues have been treated as entertainment for so many decades now, the public is no longer aware of these issues in their original sense, but only as entertainment.

    The book originated with Postman’s delivering a talk to the Frankfurt Booksellers Convention in 1984. He was participating in a panel on Orwell’s 1984 and the contemporary world.

    It has been translated into eight languages and sold some 2,000,000 copies worldwide. In 2005, Postman’s son Andrew reissued the book in a 20th anniversary edition. It is regarded as one of the most important texts of the Media Ecology school of criticism. [1]”

We still do not know what his opinion is, and i would bet this is so because his opinion is no different from that of the Democrats who wants to tax us into becoming wards of the government so that they can Lord over us as their dependents. schuuuupppssee Look like he aint gine get my vote nuh more.

    McCain went to Washington, supposedly suspending his campaign, in order to be the maverick who would break the deadlock between the GOP and the Bushcons.

    By all accounts he said nothing.. nada..zilch in the whole confrontation.

    Boernhe laid it on the line to the administration, this scam will not pass Congress … McCain kept schtum, and his legs were taken away.

    If he ever was a dupe for the PTB he surely showed his impotency at that meeting.

    He had, and has, nothing to offer to the biggest crisis ever facing corporate America.

    The people have finally sussed out the fleecing, and the elite might have to pay for their obscene excesses, because the taxpayers have had enough … and they are mad as hell.

    Elites may revel in their own incestuous perception of importance, but the real power comes from the masses, and when they are pushed beyond the limit of fairness and realise their ultimate strength, the real USA comes from the ordinary people.

    The Bush administration is revolting… but so are the masses.

    ha ha ha ha Don’t be surprise that Barack wins the presidency and give the republicans congress and the senate. I hate when one party has control of all all three, as was the case with last congress and this current whitehouse. I maybe somewhat conservative and tend to look favourably towards Republicans but my pocket has no friends, and is partial, partisan and loyal to my family ONLY. McCain is a liberal at heart, and like Barack, the Democrats, and this Whitehouse, he wants to put this fleecing on us. It is time to rain in this congress and senate of lifers.

    Fear for their investments and pensions have usually been enough for the ordinary man to keep quiet.

    But this is one step too far.

    The bankers are desperate, they have creamed off all the the surpluses in obscene bonusses and salaries and are left with the carcase of US domestic home buying.

    It is very slim pickings.

    Someone has to pay next year’s salaries.

    The Fed and Treasury say it must be the taxpayer, as there is no value left in Credit swaps to fund Wall Street.

    I see Washington Mutual gone, I hope and predict that the next private bank. The Federal Reserve, will disappear this year and we can all get back to sound economic standards with confidence.

    Wait a second Adrian, In the first post of this section, Scout says, she (Mrs. Sarah Palin) would have placed last or disqualified had she been a contestant in the Miss Barbados World Contest because of her mediochre answer about foreign affairs. I saw Scout’s answer, and replied, she would not have made it to the Miss Guyana World constest as our contestants do not hunt animals, muchless slaughter them. Scout is right though, for if at 45 years she cannot answer the question about foreign affairs that was put before her, and she is a Governor to boot, how at 21 years, the age of the typical bauty contestant could she have answered any question, Scout is right on the button. Now the chances of somebody like her being in the Miss Barbados Contest is much greater than somebody like her being in the Miss Guyana Contest, you have 28,000 to 30,000 poeple like her there, Guyana has 1,600 that is sixteen hundred like her. Anyway, I still think she is a dunce.
