I totally agreed with Raymond of Florida. This is a fact: In our company, we have one department manager who is a graduate of Yale University and claimed to be an honor student. This manager knows a lot of theory but lacks common sense and capability of applying those management theories. He mainly relies from his assistant manager who has more leadership capability of leading the 24 people work force. His assistant manager was just a simple graduate of an unknown technical school. The CEO found the weakness of this Yale grad manager and he was forced to resign. I hope this will not happen to OBAMA-SAN who is a Harvardian but will totally become a parasite from Hillary and Emmanuel. God saves America from 2009 till 2012.

Dear fellow Americans,
In the United States, there is a big imbalance and double standards. If you are Harvard graduate, even though you lack common sense and leadership, you belong to the elite intelligent group. Hardworking Americans from the common class like Governor Palin, even though she is proven to be an effective leader and a Governor, is not qualified according to the liberal elites. The fact that Alaska has a balanced budget and surplus is not enough to prove that Palin is not capable of becoming a US president. Why? Just because she is not a graduate of Harvard? The main reason why United States will soon collapse is because of such Liberal elites and Corrupted media. If American mentality and way of thinking will not change, United States will eventually fall like the mighty Roman Empire whose downfall was mainly caused by liberal elite and corrupted senators. Americans will soon find themselves scattered all over the world like a third country nationals looking for a better pay to survive their families. Can Americans afford such a kind of humiliation?

Palin was woefully unprepared and thrown into a job she had no experience for. Palin and Kennedy--not even the same situation. If Kennedy screws up, she takes down a large state. If Palin screws up, she endangers a whole country.
SNL wouldn't have had such a hey day had Palin been properly prepared. Its no one's fault but her own she knew little about the job she was running for.
Quit blaming the media for all her problems. If you life life in a snow globe, you damn well better know what you're into. Palin had no clue.

I think she is probably a lovely lady, but I don't agree with you this time Peter. I don't think any American who has voted in less than half of the elections she could have in her lifetime, cares seriously about her country or state.

Don't they know of her family background, breeding and education? This is her birthright! Who dares speak of qualifications? Oh, do they yearn not for the years of Camelot? Are they not compelled by thorns of desire to devoutly pray for the resurrection of that golden reign?
She's not some common, workaday wench - a pretender - a bumpkin - like that Palin woman - Nay! She is one of us! Fruit from the loins of greatness!
The rabble of jackals must be warned! To pull the tail of the noble lion, is to open the mouth of anger, revealing the teeth of vengeance -Biting the tongues of descent!
I say, let them eat cake, or better still - Off with their heads!

To use a baseball anaology, Palin made it to third base by hitting a single, running running well to second, and brilliantly stealing third. Caroline Kennedy made it to third base by being born there - so much for the anology. No comparison.

What, are you people professional crybabies? C'mon! At the end of the day, Palin was an idiot--plain & simple.

The media got our current President-elect elected, so why should this be any different. The laughable thing really is when the media credits someone as being a "conservative", and then presents them as supporting their liberal communist "postpartisan" drivel. America, you have been sold a bill of goods by charletans. Step up and get your fill, NY.

After reading your eloquent article Mr. Roff, there is no doubt that,according to The Constitution of The United States,Ms. Kennedy is certaintly qualified to become a Senator from New York State. However,one of the things that bothers me is the fact that she has said she did not vote in several elections. I wonder why, with her political background and heritage, she chose that route. It will be interesting to see where this adventure takes her.Let's hope that the fact that she is a Kennedy will not influence the Governor or for that matter, anyone else.
