I am embarrassed for her.
did you see katie's face? did you hear anderson when he showed these clips - he had no words and a very confused expression.
I felt terrible for her because I could so relate to the nervousness of not being able to formulate a reasonable response under pressure - but I would never presume to be qualified to be there. thank the lord.
OK she stands by her original statement to Charlie Gibson that she has foreign policy experience because of geographical proximity with Russia and evidently Canada as well. I did feel very uncomfortable for Palin in this clip. I had hoped the original statement was her mis-speaking rather than that was actually her belief.
Does anyone think Biden will defend his FRD/TV gaffe or will he laugh at himself?

So true!!!If Palin had made an error like this, I am certain that many "journalists" as well as Obama surrogates (sorry for the redundancy) would call for her to step down as the V.P. candidate. Seriously. I could see Anderson Cooper (just after he has removed his bluetooth earpiece coming back from a commercial break cause he is one importantly busy man) questioning how someone with such little knowledge of American history could be a mere heartbeat away from the Presidency. John Stewart would have spent the rest of the year doing Sarah Palin history jokes. Biden is a complete joke. How about being Patriotic by paying more taxes! He also said He and Obama have no intention of creating clean coal plants in the U.S.A.! Obama has clearly stated he wants to do so. Biden immediately opposed the Bailout plan just like McCain did before he learned that Obama was actually for it. He also denounced Obama's commercial that said McCain did not know how to e-mail because McCain could not use a keyboard due to his war injuries until he realized the commercial said "I'm Barrack Obama and I endorsed this message!!!" Biden also said he was in a helicopter that was forced down in the dangerous Al Qaeda infested Afghan mountains. But he failed to mention this was due to inclimate weather!!! Biden then said, "After seven years... the Bush administration realized the absurdity of its own policy and sent our leading diplomat to Iran. The assistant secretary of state as he went to Tehran, sat down at the instruction of the president of the United States."
Oops.
No such meeting ever happened. There was a meeting with Iran but it was Undersecretary William Burns and it was in Switzerland ? not Iran ? and Burns merely sat in on discussions between Iranian representatives and other international diplomats. Burns had no negotiating role and was just an observer.
But lets give the guy a break. It's just good old Joe! Come on people, one of Joe's best friends is the engineer on that daily train from Deleware to D.C. It took Joe the entire past 6 days to say all of this. Tomorrow's another day! If Sarah Palin had a week like this, Obama, ABC, CBS, & NBC would be calling for a congressional hearing to investigate her competency to be V.P.
They're ignoring your post about the a hole Biden. Some people don't want to hear the truth.
I'd rather have an a hole VP than one whom has extreme difficulty assembling her own thoughts into cohesive and coherant answers. That is my truth.

Isn't it comforting to know that she is just a fibrillation away from running this country.....IF the repubs get their way......
of course.....we've already had 8 years of dealing with an ill informed bumbling idiot.....so it couldn't be worse? Could it?????:scratch:

I guess that makes me a middle-eastern expert since I enjoy Chelow Kababs
Interesting how all are nit-picking Palin's foreign policy experience because she is a heartbeat away from being President. Yet of course, she is the VP candidate. Who between Palin and the Democratic Presidential candidate has more foreign policy experience? Palin served on the city council from1992-1996, was Mayor from 1996-2002, chaired the Alaska Oil and Gas Conversation Commission from 2003-2004, and was elected Governor of Alaska in November 2006. Obama served in the Illinois Senate from 1997-2004, unsuccessfully ran for the House of Representatives in 2000, was elected to the Senate in November 2004, and announced his Presidential Campaign in February 2007. Sarah Palin will serve with her President John McCain, one of the Worlds greatest Foreign Policy experts (just ask Joe Biden) and in turn, the USA will rely on this potential President to lead our Foreign Policy. Barack Obama will serve as President and have to rely on his VP for expert opinion and guidance on Foreigh Policy. I expect the President to travel abroad and meet with world leaders to communicate and direct our country's Foreign Policy. Barack Obama will be forced to reserve 2 seats at all such meetings. So to follow the logic (and as was so previously eleoquently stated in turn); I suppose Barack Obama is one "fibrillation" away from allowing the Democratic Foreign Policy expert an opportunity to run this country 
just to stir the pot...would a candidate with 8 years of experience in the Illinois state legislature, 1 term in the U.S. House of Representatives and a loss in a run for U.S. Senate be considered "experienced enough" to be President?
the above resume is the experience that Abraham Lincoln brought to the Presidency

Look at the other VP Candidate
I am glad someone else is also looking at the other side of this. Here he is Obama's running mate or rather his 'foreign policy" mate and who agrees with McCain on a lot of his foreign policy issues an who hightly respects what he has done and who is not much younger than McCain and who has had health issues himself. What happens if his health issues play a part and he can no longer serve as VP. Now you have a president with ABSOLUTLY NO foreign policy experience except for what he has memoized from notes or heads a committee where it took him how many days to go visit the area. He kept saying that Pakastan was the key area well you know why it is now is because our brave men and women have moved them out of Irac. I don't think Obama is unreliable or uncapable to some extent but he is INEXPERIENCED and right now EXPERIENCE is what is going to allow us to have our homes, our land, our money that we so desp. dont' want taxed, because the United State will be safe. Why do you think these leaders are wanting Obama because do you not think they realize the power they will hold over the United States. It is absolutly scarry to me to think that my President would even consider meeting some barbaric person who wants our country gone face to face with no preconditions. My point is each candidate picked a running mate that would appeal to the areas that they feel are not as stong and that would add to the ticket. Palin has a passion for the aspects of Energy, my word her "little state" is the second oil producer and she has proven that she can work across party lines and is not scared to disagree with her own party members. Foreign Policy may not be her strong suit but it is John McCain's and unless we keep our country safe we won't need to worry about who is going to get a tax break, we won't be here. We will be up there (most of us at least) wondering what happened. I, for one, would like to stay on this earth a little longer.
Another note, and I am suprised no one has picked up on this, but did you notice when McCain told about his braclet, which you can tell means a great deal, Obama pulls his out and doesn't even know the name on the braclet. He has to look down to read the name. Next time you watch the debate look what he does.
