Interview

This is great. The McCain campaign must have planned this in advance. They are inside Obama's OODA loop!

[eureka!]

Great interview. I’ve got to run but if anyone has the time to start a thread, here’s the PUMAs for Palin video that may be of interest (h/t Flopping Aces):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrbhYQLrqp0&eurl=http://www.floppingaces.net/

Uh, wow. Whatever that thing is, she's got it. Big time, as Cheney might say. The lady is a leader.

The quickening heartbeat, butterflies in the stomach and giddy goofball smile frozen on my face for the last 24 hours are a sure warning sign that I need to take a breather from the initial rush of Palinmania. Too much more of this and I'm gonna end up looking like a Warner Bros. cartoon character with tongue rolling on the floor, giant starry-eyes and a heart bouncing out of my chest.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

She is one hell of a competent speaker, isn’t she?

[old and cranky]

Wonder if Biden is thinking “what did I get myself into!” Can’t wait for the debate there, hee hee.

[yoe]

S. Palin is passionate about Alaska and energy - good video.

Okay, I'll bite....what is a OODA loop?

[forYourChildrenVote4Bush]

She is very impressive, my wife never heard of her until yesterday yet she was jumping and yelling how great she spoke how likable she came across and the fact that she was not part of the “good old boy” network appealed to her...

In anyways she seems to make a good impression....

[HerrBlucher]

Wow she’s good, and not an uhm or uh amongst thousands of spontaneous words.

[TommyC1]

Its a concept developed for fighter pilots but now used throughout the military. Observe, Orient, Decide Act.

If your OODA loop time is shorter than the enemy's you can break up his decision process. McCain is doing this with his quick response ads, making the Obama campaign look flat footed in its response because they can act that fast. I am of the opinion this video is not an accident and was planned in advance by the campaign.

[TommyC1]

Oops. Can should be can’t.

[bethtopaz]

They are inside Obama’s OODA loop!

******************

Explain “ooda loop” please. Thanks!

[TommyC1]

Here is a good explanation of the OODA concept from The American Thinker:

That made me smile.
I wonder what the reaction of the troops is about McCain’s pick of Palin. Anyone know?

[FlyVet]

Very impressive. Imagine the same conversation with Obama, Biden, or Pelosi. “Duh duh duh uh uh uh um can’t drill our way out of this, gonna fuel my jet with corn, and uh uh uh.”

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Thanks for posting this....didn’t get to watch it Friday.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

In the CNBC interview Sarah points out that Biden voted against the Alakan 30 years ago,..but since it has been built it has delivered 15 Billion barrels of oil....and the Caribou have florished...

[Marine_Uncle]

Thanks for the ping. I watched it last night. She did pretty good and surprisingly was how the interviewer asked reasonable questions and did not give her a hard time.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Ernest.
