I'm so sick and tired of the people saying that Sarah Palin is not ready to be President of the United States of America. They say "She is not smart enough or she doesn’t have enough experience".
The founders wanted citizens to be representatives of the government. They wanted citizens to serve one or two terms and then have a new citizen come and serve.
I think Sarah Palin has the qualities that George Washington needed to be President.
BIOGRAPHY OF GEORGE WASHINGTON
George Washington may have attended a school near his home for the first few years. Later he went to another school, either in Fredericksburg, Stafford County, or Westmoreland County. He excelled in mathematics and learned the rudiments of surveying. But he was not taught Latin or Greek like many gentlemen's sons, and he never learned a foreign language. Nor did he attend college. His formal education ended around the age of 15.
His older brother Lawrence died in 1752, and shortly thereafter George inherited Mount Vernon. He also obtained Lawrence's place in the Virginia Militia and received a major's commission -- the first step in his military career.
George Washington spent the years between 1759 and 1775 as a gentleman farmer at Mount Vernon. He worked constantly to improve and expand the mansion house and its surrounding plantation. He established himself as an innovative farmer, who switched from tobacco to wheat as his main cash crop in the 1760's. In an effort to improve his farming operation, he diligently experimented with new crops, fertilizers, crop rotation, tools, and livestock breeding. He also expanded the work of the plantation to include flour milling and commercial fishing in an effort to make Mount Vernon a more profitable estate.
In June 1775, Congress commissioned George Washington to take command of the Continental Army besieging the British in Boston. He wrote home to Martha that he expected to return safe to her in the fall. The command kept him away from Mount Vernon for more than 8 years.
It was a command for which his military background, although greater than that of any of the other available candidates, hardly prepared him. His knowledge lay in frontier warfare, involving relatively small numbers of soldiers. He had no practical experience maneuvering large formations, handling cavalry or artillery, or maintaining supply lines adequate to support thousands of men in the field. He learned on-the-job; and although his army reeled from one misfortune to another, he had the courage, determination, and mental agility to keep the American cause one step ahead of complete disintegration until he figured out how to win the unprecedented revolutionary struggle he was leading. Washington had little conventional military education to discard. In an unconventional conflict, he learned from experiences that perplexed and frustrated his opponents.
In his First Inaugural Address, Washington confessed that he was unpracticed in the duties of civil administration; however, he was one of the most able administrators ever to serve as President. He administered the government with fairness and integrity, assuring Americans that the President could exercise extensive executive authority without corruption. Further, he executed the laws with restraint, establishing precedents for broad-ranging presidential authority. "His integrity was most pure", Thomas Jefferson wrote, "his justice the most inflexible I have ever known, no motive of interest or consanguinity, friendship, or hatred, being able to bias his decision."

Sarah Palin has more schooling then George Washington.

Sarah Palin’s integrity would be most pure, her justice would have no motive of interest or consanguinity, friendship, or hatred, being able to bias her decision.

Sounds like Sarah Palin. She learned from experiences that perplexes and frustrates her opponents. Experiences such as hunting, fishing, gardening, playing team sports, being a student that graduated from college, bachelor's degree in journalism, television sports reporter, wife, mother, mayor, chaired the Alaska’s Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, Governor, and first Republican woman Vice Presidential candidate.
She did all these things and her critics say, "she not smart enough." So, all the people who hired her, voted for her, worked with her, did it because she wasn’t smart enough! Her experiences of just being a woman and doing what she has done, makes her smart enough!
Some people think she is not smart enough ... they think that no woman is smart enough.
Neither Obama nor Hillary Clinton can match her experiences and no one in politics today can match her in the most important qualities that Jefferson said George Washington had.

In 2010 Sarah Palin was the perhaps the biggest reason that majority of women voted republican for the first time every in the republican landslide.

Sarah Palin unlike liberal “Republicans” such as the Bushes, understands that we are in a full all-out shooting war with the Left, for the soul of our country.
The Commies have been largely unopposed since the days of another statesman of great personal magnetism, the magnificent “genial dunce”.
My question to any and all who say she is not qualified to be POTUS: How then, and by who’s yardstick and guidelines, did we elect the current ‘community organizer terrorist enabler/associate America-hater potentially illegal Marxist narcissist’ to be POTUS?
The argument that she is unqualified is completely absurd. She has all the qualifications and traditional achievements we look for in candidates. She proved herself at multiple levels of executive office. She has a specific set of achievements in reform of her state, including the reform of their energy policies and contracts. She has a huge appeal to the base, fundraising capabilities, and she is a proven campaigner and speaker.
The only question about Palin is whether she has right circumstances to win. This is the million dollar question. Winning a presidential race depends a great deal on timing and external situations. There have been only 43 people in this position in almost 250 years. It is a tough process to get to that office, and a lot of great people who would be good presidents never made it. Hell, Hillary is unlikely to ever make it and she was the most likely person we have seen in decades to make it to the Oval Office. For Palin, it all depends on the environment and whether she can get past the naysayers in both parties and the media. It is an uphill battle for sure due to the beating she has already taken.
Was George Washington already on the list?
Notice how I spelled George wrong,so I could to get the Palin haters to say her supports can’t even Spell!
I find misspeling gets my point acrross betr too. Realy kaptures the I of hte readr ;)
Oh, she’s qualified, I’m just not so sure I’d prefer her to be the Republican nominee.
its a straw man argument. They just don’t like her personality or ideology. It got nothing to do with experience or qualification. Look at Nancy Pelosi/Obama or Reid. Makes tonnes of gaffes and say stupid things, but noone ever question their intelligence or qualification. Nancy was three heart beat from president
obama thought running to be president makes him qualified to be president. It was really dumb thing to say, but noone ever mock him for it
factmart why do you, and others, seem to think that if somebody doesn’t favor Sarah Palin in the primaries that they “hate” her?
Because they are cultists.
I hate it when you’re right.
This theme was been reposted about 10K times. When is she announcing? Right now it is her hands not George Washington’s.
Bush told Rush yesterday, “I never said that about her... I never would say anything like that about her”.
LLS
Yes. Washington was on the list somewhere between Lech Walesa and Wonder Woman. LOL
You left out the part about George Washington quitting at Valley Forge.
Nonsense, I support her ideology (except on immigration, Law of the Sea and cap & Trade) and I have no reason to dislike her. I say she is unqualified based purely on her very slim CV.
That’s right.
