Hmm. And I think it’s a huge mistake to encourage an internecine war. I don’t see the upside at all. And making an idol of Palin, much as happened with Obama,is also a mistake. All it does is set her up as a greater target and for a fall.

Balderdash!

You apparently didn't pay much attention to President Reagan.

Being President did not slow him down one little bit on being able to be frank and to the point.

In fact, it gave him a greater audience, he became more effective, as will Sarah when she becomes POTUS in 2012.

If you don’t believe a President is constrained by his office & political considerations relative to a political activist & commentator, then we have nothing to talk about.

Dream on.
