HOW THE PALIN PICK TRUMPS OBAMA-BIDEN
Politico is (GASP) just another liberal news outlet.
Four presidents generally ranked in the top fifteen by historians have had experience comparable to Governor Palin’s prior to assuming office: Franklin Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Grover Cleveland.
Sarah Palin spent four years as a City Council Member for Wasilla, Alaska, six years as Mayor of Wasilla, and two years as Governor of Alaska.
FDR spent just over two years in the New York State Senate, eight years as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and four years as Governor of New York.
Theodore Roosevelt three years in the New York State Assembly, two years as Governor of New York, one year as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and less than one year as Vice President of the United States.
Woodrow Wilson spent eight years as President of Princeton University and two years as Governor of New Jersey.
Grover Cleveland spent two years as Sheriff of Erie County, two years as Mayor of Buffalo, and two years as Governor of New York.
Overall, I’d say that Palin’s background is comparable with that of several presidents considered highly successful, even considering that her state has a smaller population than the other two states on the list.
While Obama has been running for office for as long as Palin has been running a state, I find it hard to consider the two tasks as comparable preparation.
One final note: I will be posting this multiple times because I think it is important to get the word out that that her experience is in keeping with previous presidents. I apologize to those who are annoyed by seeing it too often.
I know I shouldn’t be surprised, but the left’s ability to take the rock-solid truth of something and spew a 180-degree LIE still takes my breath away. How in the H*LL can these people live with themselves? Really. This is completely around the bend.
Governor Palin threatens the entire power base of the left. Imagine Governor Palin with 12-16 years in DC doing what she did as mayor and governor.
The east coast leftist elites will hate Sarah Palin all the more for her University of Idaho connections, and not their leftist ivory towers...the glass ceiling will break AND their leftist ivory towers built on sand will crumble.
The witnesses and friends to Obama’s story are Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Weight, Frank Marshall Davis, and Bernardine Dohrn. Politico and Obama don’t want the witnesses of his life and close friends of Obama to tell Obama’s story....even if he accomplished anything he can’t tell it....
This morning as I was listening to one of my favorite local radio talk shows, Armstrong & Getty, you could begin to see a pattern with the anti-Palin callers; They kept saying, “she should be home with her new child, if the the child was 7 or 8, then it would be okay”. I think this is one of the current DNC talking points.
They really aren’t “politicos” although one did sleep at a Holiday Inn last night.
;-o)
I believe CBS used the author (or one of them) as a commentator on this topic with one of their talking heads. And of course, as noted above, came out against Palin.
Knock me over with a feather.
I know BS when I CBS.
CBS/Politico, Quite a team since Jan 22, 2007.
The same Politico that published lies daily as to Fred Thompson’s campaign demise every day until he dropped out then posted, “Told you so!” articles. Hmmmm.
