Fallingman: I think this is great. More Sarah Palin please. It give Obama a breathing space. She is not credible on any level. She said in her speech that she had explained her reasons for resigning and nobody yet has worked out where she said it. She exploited her kids yet again....mind you she is not alone in that, but as a family values candidate she should have more decency...and she had a problem in 08 (no experience)which will only get worse now that she is no longer eye-balling the Russians
However, I would be amazed if the Republicans adopted her as a leader, it is playing to their safe hard base and alienating ALL the swing voters they need to convince that they are safe to put back in power.
So, sadly, Democrats I wouldn't get your hopes up just yet. The Republicans may lack humility and insight...but they are not quite so cracked as to go for Palin. I think those of them who worked with her in 08 will stop her before it is too late for the GOP
Fallingman, it is Obama himself that is shooting holes in the bottom of his boat.....each time that the failouts are talked and each time we find where the money did go or did not go....it is another hole in the bottom of the boat.
US of A unemployment (9.5%)today equals....the EUs and is still increasing. CA unemployment is 10.4%. Then we find that the funds that were legislated for stimulus are going to such things as....
CA marsh mice, unneeded railroad tunnels, removal of Mormon crickets (a form insect), landscaping in front of a hotel, covered garages for bicycles, a bridge to connect two section of Microsoft Headquarters, gang tatoo removal in S. CA, road sign that say that the construction is being funded by stimulus funds, swine odor research......
this is the kind of FED spending is what will sink the Obama boat. Palin has little to do with it....other than she wants to be in the lower 48 to talk about it and have a shot at the 2012/16.
With spending like that...who has the lack of insight? And seems to feels empowered to spend at such a wreckless manner? DEMs Fallingman....not the REP.
