@Davidylan,

the Walmart director does practically the same thing. shld we vote him into office too?

What that means is that Walmart Director has more experience managing human and material resources than Obama. I'll pick him and/or Palin over Obama anyday.

*Morenike:

Let's just say Obama has been in office for 3 years, 2years campaigning. Most of his votes are always present, what does that mean? The he has no side or does not know the choice to make?

You really dont know how this works, you're just parroting what others have said or what you overheard on TV. Where are the Palin achievements you claimed you knew? Where in this thread has it been about Obama? Pls stay on topic pls.

*Morenike:

Palin has been Governor for two years.

and so what? Many American presidents where never governors for 2 minutes.

*Morenike:

A governor has the knowledge of what a presidents do.

Palin didnt know what a VP job was . . . talk less of knowing how to be president.

*Morenike:

Her job and responsibilities reflect the responsibility of the president. She is in charge of the national scale for Alaska, responsible for enforcing state laws, sign legislative to make it effective or veto it. Imagine, she's been doing this for 2 years.

Being president includes Iraq, Afghanistan, EU, Russia, Georgia, debt to China, foreign policy relations . . . Saudi Arabia, Iran, Israel . . .na wa for these people.

*Morenike:

Senators votes on things Not that it's a small job, but it's on a lesser scale than what a Governor does.

On that basis McCain shld not be running for president too or is this just an Obama thing?

Kobojunkie:

Wallow in her ignorance? How did you jump from first statement to this one? What is the connection here??

She knows nothing about foreign affairs but you say "Her team mate has all the foreign experience the team needs to run with at this time being that he is the one actually running for office." So now I am asking, should she remain ignorant about it and depend all McCain to make all the right foreign policy choices?

Right, wasn't it her that asked on National TV, "What does exactly does a VP do?"

Damn, if McCain picked her as VP I wonder who he'd pick as Secretary of State or Defense Secretary.

@Davidylan,

what that means is that you have no point. JFK was no governor, Reagan was not a governor. I have consistently asked, when did this "you must have executive experience" become a criteria? It wasnt there when Kerry was running for president, it wasnt there for Al Gore . . . all of a sudden Obama comes in and the noise is about "experience"?

Am sure Palin's statement abt the VP was sarcasm

davidylan:

On that basis McCain shld not be running for president too or is this just an Obama thing?

Point is, when McCain dies, which wnt be long, the VP has to take charge. I'd rather want Palin than Obama.

Words are sweet, but actions are sweeter.

Obama is no Messiah, i'm not interested in who becomes president . . . i only care about Yar Adua's kidneys.
However i'm all for fairness and objectivity.

The current climate of double standards when it comes to Obama is alarming.

When Kerry, Al Gore and co ran for presidency . . . no one doubted their ability to lead, no one asked them for executive experience. Many Palin supporters today didnt care that Clinton had nothing but 7yrs in the senate for "experience" too (Tayo-D especially) . . . all of a sudden it has become a criteria?

When did they institute a law that only ex-governors can run for president?

StephenP:

Did she tell you that she is not right now brushing up on foreign policy knowledge?  She just got selected about 7 days ago. What do you expect her to do? Learn all McCain learnt over 30 something or more years, in just 7 days? Come on. Be real!!

StephenP:

Right, wasn't it her that asked on National TV, "What does exactly does a VP do?"

Is it wrong to ask what exactly your job duties will be on national TV when you just got selected for the position? ROFLMAO!!! Last I checked, I don’t know that these people are sent job responsibilities and papers to study for some “VP qualification exam” before they can qualify for selection.

StephenP:

Damn, if McCain picked her as VP I wonder who he'D pick as Secretary of State or Defense Secretary.

He has a group already that he can pick from. Don’t worry about who he will pick there.

davidylan:

and so what? Many American presidents where never governors for 2 minutes.

and so what?
Ask the people that want an experienced candidate.
Not someone that spent 2 of his 3 terms campaigning for something he's not experienced in.
So you get taken away with sweet words? hmm, Obama tried

*Morenike:

which simply underscores your ignorance. no it wasnt.

*Morenike:

Dumb! On what basis would you prefer Palin as president over Obama? Palin only got a US passport in 2007, perhaps is just learning the capitals of the world and who is president of which country.

Only a country like America can vote for Bush 3 times in a row.

*Morenike:

Words are sweet, but actions are sweeter.

Actions like what? Dealing with russia and venezuela is not the same as moose hunting.

*Morenike:

and so what?

1. Those crying for "experienced" candidates know that deep down it is simply code for "white" candidate. A democratic strategist more than confirmed that on Chris Mathews show this evening.

2. Palin spent 2 yrs as governor of a state with 600,000 people. All of a sudden she is qualified to be president? Give me a break.

3. I get taken by sweet words . . . what do you get taken by? A white hockey mom with 5 kids?

She just got her passport 2007, so what?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is Alaska not part of US? So basically, you're telling me that Palin knows nmothing about the country she's running for?

davidylan:

No be only break you go get.
Who said she was qualified as a president?

davidylan:

3. I get taken by sweet words . . . what do you get taken by? A white hockey mom with 5 kids?

No, but by action.
Don't let those sweet words carry you away, shogbo

All am saying is that she has the potential to make a great VP.

*Morenike:

She just got her passport 2007, so what?

this is a shame. I'm tired of arguing with moose heads.

*Morenike:

The US president is more or less the president of the western world . . . its more than just governing Texas. Just ask Bush how many countries he has been to and how many world leaders he has to keep tabs with every second.

Where do all these empty heads appear from?

Well she better because I don't think McCain can last 4 years in office . . . he's 72 and has got a history of cancer.

Well maybe not for the Republicans but you won't see Biden or anyone with some sense asking a retarded question like that.

*Morenike:

[size=18pt]Based on what?[/size]

Can someone just give us hard cold facts instead of all this wishy washy fairy tales?

StephenP:

Well, if you do not know this, McCain’s Mother is still alive and kicking. If that woman can still move around, at that age, I have to tell you that you if he wins, you may be seeing 8 years of him and not 4.

StephenP:

Well maybe not for the Republicans but you won't see Biden or anyone with some sense asking a retarded question like that.

As the saying goes, “one man’s meat is another man’s poison”; your retarded question is another man’s hilarious joke.

It wasnt there when Kerry was running for president, it wasnt there for Al Gore . . . all of a sudden Obama comes in and the noise is about "experience"?

Why are you exposing your ignorance in public now. Reagan was a former Governor of California before running for the Presidency.

The Republicans are not the once who started this issue of experience. It was no other than the Democrats. Is it not the same Biden who reiterated twice that Obama does not have the prerequisite experience to be President and that the presidency does not lend itself to on-the-job training?

Like I said before, I still stand by my opinion, Sarah Palin is the VP, has more experience than Obama.
Even if some people prefer to have moose head or goat head, they can always kiss my bum where the sun doesn't shine.

Mistake accepted. It doesnt detract from my general query. When did all this "experience" issue become a factor? Why with Obama? Did you ask for experience from Kerry and Al Gore?

Biden is an idiot, we all know. He's just a smart idiot. The democrats (Clinton) started the whole issue of "experience" . . . i stand corrected - this whole talk about "experience" is simply code for "white" candidate. Why didnt anyone ask for Senator Edward's experience when he was in the running?

Sarah Palin is the VP, has more experience than Obama

and what makes u say so,  i doubt handling a state of 600000 and being the mayor of wasilla is really an experience edge over a person that has been state senator before becoming a senator in congress.   aren't we supposed to be comparing the VP candidates here.   there's little to show palin would make a great president.

*Morenike:

You mean you have seen her medical file to know this for a fact?? LMAO!!

Some peeps need to stop drinking.

Her job and responsibilities reflect the responsibility of the president. She is in charge of the national scale for Alaska, responsible for enforcing state laws, sign legislative to make it effective or veto it. Imagine, she's been doing this for 2 years

are u trying to say palin achieved all this without the legislative branch.   enforcing what laws, palin done turn to sheriff, parole officer all in one

Kobojunkie:

You mean you have seen her medical file to know this for a fact?? LMAO!!

I'm guessing you didn't see the big Maybe

My gosh, this sec is even worst than romance sec. Any insult necessary? ,

My opinion is based on her status before she began campaigning

StephenP:

I'm guessing you didn't see the big Maybe

I did see the Maybe. Sounded more like you were saying the reason why she happens to be alive to date is because she does not have cancer. Isn't that what you meant?

bawomolo:

are u trying to say palin achieved all this without the legislative branch.   enforcing what laws, palin done turn to sheriff, parole officer all in one

I don tire o.  

In charge of national scale for Alaska - what does that mean?
responsible for enforcing state laws - When did she become a state trooper?
sign legislative to make it effective or veto it - What if the state goes to sleep and refuses to pass any legislation? what will she veto? My ass?
Imagine, she's been doing this for 2 years - Wow, such a long long long time. A baby born 2 years ago is already a graduate. A certain George Bush was governor for 6 yrs, i'm sure his record as president is one to be proud of.

bawomolo:

are u trying to say palin achieved all this without the legislative branch. enforcing what laws, palin done turn to sheriff, parole officer all in one

No, am trying to say that her job reflects what the president does. She'll atleast know how to do her job right, familiar with the responsibility

*Morenike:
