Governors do not have much foreign policy experience, but they have LEADERSHIP experience.....something Sen Obama and Sen Biden cannot claim they have.

Gov Palin introduced, negotiated and signed legislation she wanted....both as mayor and as governor.

Sen Obama cannot make such a claim.
Sen Biden did negotiate on behalf of credit card companies.

You have a foreign policy team.....Sen Obama has over 100 on his foreign policy team for the campaign.....experience is not an absolute necessity....leadership and making the tough call is absolutely necessary.

So far, Sen Obama has not shown that he has or can make tough decisions.....his answer to that question was voting against the Iraq War which was a lie as he was not in federal office at that time.

"You have a foreign policy team..."

You have hit the nail on the proverbial head...

Unless you were a foreign ambassador, Secretary of State, or something similar, you would be hard pressed to have a lot of foreign policy experience going into the presidency.

The office of President of the United States is about leadership, courage, and character. I think Palin has all three traits, then some.

If a person with over 25 years of "foreign policy" experience were to get elected President, s/he would STILL rely on his/her foreign advisors and cabinet before taking action. The difference is, a leader would listen to and disseminate that advice, make a decision in the best interest fo the country and ALL of its people, and make a decision to act.

I don't believe Obamamamamama has that capability; firstly, he is only going to make decisions based on his black constituency; secondly, he is not going to spend "entitlement" money to defend our nation; thirdly, the idiot has already said he would just sit and chat with enemies to settle the differences. How naiive can a person be?

Sarah Palin would consult with the foreign experts and advisors, and make a decision that would have the best interest of America included, and she would act. She would not "back down" nor would she capitulate to foreign dictators.

So the myth the dems are trying to portray about "foreign policy experience" is just that...a myth. It's about executive experience, character, and perserverance.

Jimmuh Katta said that if Obamamamamma didn't win, it would be about race; well if Obamamamamam DOES win, it will most certainly be about race (and white guilt)...as he has no substance, experience or character to offer America.
