Instead of a stupid reality show, Palin ought

Post by BigSkyBears »

to be traveling the world and meeting dignitaries, presidents, leaders of countries. She has such a lack of knowledge on foreign policy and it's even worse then Bush's before he was elected. Why can't we elect diplomats as Presidents any more? Foreign policy is THE MOST IMPORTANT JOB OF ANY PRESIDENT. If Palin wants to be considered a serious candidate in 2012 she really needs to sharpening her foreign policy knowledge. :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod:

I don't even like the commercials for the "reality" show.

It's an embarrassment. Palin is more overexposed than Lady Gaga. 8-)

In all seriousness I don't think a President needs to be an expert on any particular technical issue. A President needs to have a basic philosophical outlook on the role of government in the United States and the role of the United States in the world. Then the President needs to surround himself or herself with experts who know how things work but who also will work to advance the philosophical outlook.

And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

Lets hope she doesn't want to be considered a serious candidate.

Dude! It's not a reality show!!! It's a SHORT miniseries (only 8 episodes) similar to PBS's California Gold, only set in Alaska. Sarah's merely the host.

Talk about jumping to conclusions! It's not as if this is Jon and Kate Plus 8!

Uh.......NO.

I don't want a president who's dumber than a post and can be led around by the nose, implementing the agenda of the "experts"....it'd be like watching the movie "Dave". :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

And you can look around with a straight (no pun intended) face and honestly state that Obama hasn't been led around by the nose by Pelosi and Reid? :coffee: :coffee: :coffee:

OK. I'll go ahead and ignore the half-dozen threads you started over the past year complaining about Obama allowing Pelosi and Reid to lead him around by the nose. :thumb:

She's shown explaining to her daughter's boyfriend that Trig's babygate is also a boyfriend deterrant to keep him downstairs out of her daughter's bedroom (it must've been broken when Bristol was in HS). Band of Brothers this ain't......

I'll agree with Mainjeff on that one. Then anyone could be president.

Quit drinking the lib Kook-Aid. Sarah isn't dumb. That Couric interview was an edited POS that intentionally left out the stuff she's good on. She has executive experience at two levels. Obama had ZERO before being elected, and we're paying for that now.

Wrong. That Couric interview was thorough as fvck, shit, Horny, they left the cameras on for the whole thing! He had her chances to speak but, instead, showed her ass (shapely, though, that it may be).

She's dumber 'n a bag of hammers and would POSITIVELY NEVER be able to put up with all the sh*t thrown Obama's way. She'd cry.

They should open a Congressional investigation on why Bristol Palin is still alive in that Dance Fever competition, or whatever the hell you call it.
