Give Sarah Palin a Hand...

[Bob]

Minnie, it should be obvious to you that most on this board could care less what really happened. The obvious hate... and many will now deny it by saying she isn't smart enough or some othe such nonsense... is astounding. It isn't what she has done in Alaska it is what she might do in our federal government which is in such sad shape it isn't worth talking about, only worth correcting.
Geo, if you think I was too personal, I apologize but I was only expressing a perspective that I believe a lot of normally intelligent and educated citizens feel. Presidents, if the past two are any indication, do not have to be the brightest and best in the land. That is why every one of them have dozens of advisors. One man cannot do it by himself no matter how intelligent and educated he is. There are many schools in this country that do just as good a job of preparing their students for life as the Ivy League schools do. The University of Idaho and the University of Central Oklahoma are two I can think of off hand. Frankly, from what I have seen of those in higher authority because of their Harvard, Yale, Princeton or other Ivy League education, the less I am impressed. I will reiterate the last two, both Harvard graduates, show me little in the area of how to govern as the leader of the executive branch, and subsequently our country. To me, in many cases, it appears that the Liberal elite believe that all other citizens are incapable of making their own decisions and they will be much better off if we do it for them out of the goodness of our hearts and our superior intellectual ability. But then that is but one old man's opinion who has been around long enough to see how both halves live.

That's funny! i don't even know who serves on my HOA let alone someone else's!

It's a thankless, time consuming second job.
I think most who serve would let Palin take it in a second.

Washington (CNN) - As Sarah Palin marks her birthday, a new national poll indicates that 7 out of 10 Americans feel that she is not qualified to be president.
According to an ABC News/Washington Post survey, 71 percent of the public say the former Alaska governor is not qualified to serve in the White House, with 26 percent saying the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee is qualified to be president. The 26 percent who say Palin is qualified is down 12 points from an ABC News/Washington Post poll from November.
Twenty-eight percent of people questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey from November indicated that Palin was qualified, with 7 in 10 feeling she was not qualified to be president.

Uncalled for Bob. Age bias is ugly.

Andy, I have scanned this thread and way back you said something to the effect that Palin connects with 'the hard working people of this country'. Listen, I work hard and assure you, she does not connect with me. You are right in saying she is viciously attacked by the libnut left but in my opinion she just doesn't seem like she has the 'right stuff' to be our President. I am sure she is personable, accomplished in her own way and not stupid, but her pandering to the gun and knife show crowd just doesn't impress me.

Think of it like this-does Sarah Palin have the potential to achieve greatness that would warrant her image being carved on Mount Rushmore? It might seem silly, but really, that is what we should be looking for in a potential President...greatness. I don't see it in her. Surely the GOP has better, potentially great Presidents among the ranks who warrant much closer attention than Palin.

76% of Americans do not believe she is qualified to be POTUS. What percentage of them are the hate filled liberal elite discussed here?
