Palin's Fox News Debut: Critics Beware

Palin doesn't even respect our President enough to address him President Obama. Who does she think she is to call him Obama. But again as stated in many of the other postings, she ignorant.

It's a fact that people associate with others they are like, intellectually, religiously, politically, socially, fecundity, and even (God forbid,) racially.

And it's no different for Palin supporters. MOST (not all) are uneducated or under-educated (i.e. having a below-high school reading level), no analytical skills, live within the subordinate two quartiles of the socio-economic strata, and fervently believe in absolutes (e.g. that people who disagree with them can never be correct).

If you fit this profile, you're more likely a Palin supporter. Because she gives you hope that you can someday become somebody (maybe a Fox reporter, or maybe even graduate UP to a national sentry posted on the vast Alaskan frontier keeping vigilance for when the Russian or Chinese missiles arrive).

Every society having a majority percentage of their population remain uneducated has either deteriorated or been taken-over by others (remember, from the world's perspective a high-school diploma or GED does NOT make one educated). We were put on that path years ago. The elite Bushes chose to make sure that No Child is Left Behind on Their Way to the Unemployment Line. His family and his financial supporters made sure, because they will benefit the most from that policy. He made sure only those with political connections, a family trust-fund, or living in the few pro-didactic pockets of the country can get an education to keep them playing in the international "futures" competition.

At least everyone else who doesn't get the free education to play does get a free first-row seat in front of their telly. And luckily they've been educated sufficiently to choose which commentators they want, like Palin and my man Rush, to explain the play-by-play games to them.

So Haaaallleluja everyone, we're all going to the Promise Land. And Palin can DEFINITELY take us there.

Sarah Palin - The name brings out opinions, emotions, values-debate etc...

But, what is the underlying issue here? Is the issue that should Palin be criticized or not? And if not, then why not? If Palin wouldn't be thinking that she is deserving of the presidency, then no one would be cricitizing her. Or even if someone would, it would warrant no more criticism than any news/media or any celebrity warrants/attracts.

People criticize Palin because they hate the fact that someone, who is so convinced about her suitability for the job of a presidency.

She has no clue, absolutely no clue as to the level of education, intellect, or the knowledge of everyday issues, both domestic and international, and yes, in 'depth', of American people. Ordinary people, as we call them, are not by defination unsuitable for governance. Well, on the contrary, if someone does come from an ordinary background, it would be well appreciated.

However, for someone to govern the country, via policy and debate and decisions, one needs to have an 'in-depth' knowledge of issues in the US and abroad. One should also have the brain power and training to make decisions based on rational analysis and judgement.

These capabilities are certainly obtainable by education, experience, and the ordinary people's traits such as team work, ability to work with other people and compassion.

Obama, or anyone like it, who has come up on the scene of American politics or would come in the future, cannot be blamed for working their butt off to get into elite schools, gain education, and become the presidents against all odds stacked up against them.

Obama, like Sarah Palin, and thousand others, could well have continued to milk his education and made a lot of money by continuing to be a hot-shot lawyer for a multi-million dollar payout. But, he did not.

There are very very smart people in this country who gain education from Wharton, Harvard and other prestigios schools and work in different sectors such as Finance and Law and do make a decent living.

Whatever Sarah Palin is doing is sort of cashing on all oppotunities (nothing wrong with that) all her life. However, when you start to impose yourself on other people, suggesting that you are suitable to be the president, while ridiculing others, but not offering on iota of a proof that she is capable of doing so, it becomes laughable, and it is.

Today, Sarah Palin is not watched or followed because people like her. People see her because she brings entertainment, like everyone smiles and laughs but do buy those gossip magazines at the check-out aisles of stores to follow the celebrities like Britney Spears or whosoever.

No one would ridicule Palin if she stops acting and believing like she is on a campaign all the time. The only purpose of her life has seem to become to drill on the fact that what kind of a leader is deserved by America and how she is best suited for this, in direct of indirect words. She's a joke

Palin on Fox with her political views? WOW is Fox going to the dogs. IMy opinion as an American is the goverment is doing just fine. It's the "NO" party that's holding up our country. Anything to put a crimp on A health program that's every American should have. Yes I am willing to pay more so that others will have the sense of security that they will be able to be treated when they get sick without being bankrupt!
