What Day Will Barack Obama Drop Out?

For reasons only "progressive" minds can fathom, several bloggers on the left think—or more likely, are perhaps wishing—that Sarah Palin, John McCain's newly-announced choice for Vice President, will drop out of the Presidential race.

Jeralyn Merritt, probably once the most consistently rational member of the leftist blogosphere, is actively promoting a drop-out pool.

Merritt claims that McCain must force Palin out because she wasn't adequately vetted, and then quite seriously suggests that Obama was:

Obama presented himself for 17 months to the American people, they heard him debate more than a dozen times, they made their own decision that he was ready for the job and the Democrats voted him their nominee.

Obama wasn't unilaterally appointed by a party's nominee in a transparent play for the evangelical and female vote. As if Sarah Palin could fill Hillary Clinton's shoes by virtue of her gender. As if women wouldn't see that Sarah Palin is the antithesis of Hillary Clinton on issues. As if anything would evoke Palin's lack of qualifications more than to compare them to Hillary's.

We now know far more about Sarah Palin in just four days than we've learned about Barack Obama in 17 months. That is just sad. It's a pathetic reflection of the mainstream media's unwillingness to do their jobs for fear of finding stories that would hurt the candidate so many of them openly desire to win.

But periodically appearing to read teleprompters isn't vetting, not matter how many months a candidate has done it, and Obama's ability to perform in set-piece debates is both dubious—Hillary once famously took him apart—and irrelevant. Barack Obama really has never been fully vetted. He hasn't even come close.

You want examples?

Well. ...carry on..I have to go for my presurgery checkup ...

little gallstone problem...

[potlatch]

I’ve been through that but mine involved a lot more. You’ll do fine, think they can do laprascopic surgery for that now. Best wishes for you!

[Osage Orange]

Well...you have the gall to just sign off FR..for some little surgery?

/s

Good luck, FRiend.

Hilliary is in the wings grinning mischievously.

Her October Surprise (triple disguised double blinded to be seen as done by the Republicans) will hit at the right moment to propel her to being the Democrat nominee.

Then all her voters that moved over to McPalin will come back to her.

The Pravda networks within the US and other western nations will make sure as little comes out on the Marxist as possible.

laprascopic surgery

That's the plan,..will hold me overnight however,...my daughter just went thru it bit over a week a ago...

Really is impacting my ice cream eating habit....HA!

[Really is impacting my ice cream eating habit....HA!]

Yes, and I still had trouble with any ‘fatty’ foods afterwards. They say some people do and some don't. Glad it's laprascopic, much easier on you. Take care.

I’ve got a wonderful idea for Palin... She should bring an official copy of her birth certificate to her stump speeches and/or VP debate. There will be at least ONE question (perhaps even on Illegal Immigration?) that they mention citizenship! Maybe she could work in a comment somehow and pick up her BC for emphasis. She wouldn’t even need to say anything about Obama — it would get the Dems in a tizzy because they would get it, and it would get us all happy, AND the press watching would get it whether they admit or not.

If the journalists DO ask her about it - THEN she could slam Obama. She could even bring it up in the “vetting process” area of questions if they actually talk to her about it instead of making assumptions about how “unthorough” McCain’s supposedly was of hers...

[LibertyRocks]

Sorry to hear you’ve got to go through this! Glad it sounds like a relatively simple procedure nowadays, but I will be praying nonetheless. (I’ll also keep you in my thoughts because I know how “special diets” and restrictions prior to surgeries can be such a pain... LOL).

He will drop out when Larry Sinclair’s phone records are made public.

IOW.....never.

[Question Liberal Authority]

By my calculations, Sarah Palin will drop out on January 21, 2021.

[Political Junkie Too]

Obama presented himself for 17 months to the American people, they heard him debate more than a dozen times, they made their own decision that he was ready for the job and the Democrats voted him their nominee.

You mean that nobody tried to drum Obama out after 72 hours? They let him defend himself for 17 months?

You'd think they'd at least give Palin 17 days, if not weeks or months, to defend herself.

If the Empty Suit drops out, WHO would they run?

I wonder no one's said it earlier -- when Cynthia McKinney accepted the Green Party's nomination, that should've been the nail in the Empty Suit's coffin. Think about it -- she's Black and a woman, which makes her the Libs' exacta.

If the smears on the Palins can get tied at last to the Empty Suit's camp, McKinney can swoop in on whatever creature or broomstick she'll ride. Pay attention, everybody -- the Greens might just have a new high water mark.
