I'm not all that impressed by this ... it certainly doesn't "beat Biden to a pulp." More importantly, though, it doesn't tell me that she's remotely ready for higher office.
As you well know, Sarah Palin has an image problem with the general public. The only way she's going to get out from under it, is to demonstrate that she's a serious person, with serious policies that deserve serious debate.
As political screeds go, this one is actually pretty weak --it's little more than a non-zinger that's basically a rehash of what she said back in 2008. She offers no specific details beyond what she cribbed from an Ann Coulter column.
Not remotely "presidential."
In the “age of obama”,
what is “presidential”?
Are you saying people won’t elect a “non-presidential” person?
Im sorry I missed that she has stepped into the 2012 race already? Lets take a look at right now. She is positioning herself just fine in 2009 thank you.
It was Facebook
don’t set your expectations so high.
She was writing to everyday folks who post on Facebook, not writing a State of the Union address.
Serious...like Obomba...huh?
The press, GOP elites gasped..."How could she turn against the party pick?"
Now, Dede Scozzafava, the GOP darling, has dropped out because SARAH pointed out the obvious. Thompson jumped on the bandwagon, and so did others.
Newt looks like an idiot for supporting Scozzafava. Steele looks emasculated because he didn't have the balls to say no to a Scozzafava. Huckster and Romney look like wimps for not standing on principle.
The rest of the real conservatives listened to what Sarah said.
That's leadership.
Dude, you need a vacation, either that or better reading comprehension.
It’s not about Sarah as Presidential material, it’s about Sarah, as us.
Most on here get it, tell me why don’t you?
IF we ever are going to get our party back and elect a person with true conservative values and one that never compromises, then guess what? It is “us” as the electorate, that must first not compromise.
This Train only has one track, and that’s fine with me!
Full steam ahead!
IMO, she did score a goal with this one. What qualifications did Obozo have for POTUS? For that matter, how about Biden for VP? What have either one of them done except live off the public dole? As for policy, Sarah has done a pretty good job of identifying her position with regard to energy issues. I was able to understand what her position is and what she was proposing. I’m not sure why it is so hard for others to understand. While I agree she has a long way to go before she is ready for a run for POTUS, I do not agree she does not possess the skills/abilities needed for that office.
That is a huge generality manufactured by the leftist MSM, and you ought to know that if you're a conservative (and a Freeper). Sarah Palin had a 65% approval rating as governor of Alaska. The only "image problem" Sarah has, is with liberal Democrats, and those who are drinking the leftstream media Kool-Aid.
The only way she's going to get out from under it, is to demonstrate that she's a serious person, with serious policies that deserve serious debate.
Demonstrate to who? You? The radical left? Sarah has demonstrated excellent executive skills during her tenure as Alaska Governor, and if you'd been listening, you would know that her fundamental understanding of, and adherence to conservative principles is without peer.
No, Sarah doesn't need to "demonstrate" anything further for most level-headed Americans to know that she's got the capability and the correct orientation to get America back on track.
It's just funny to watch Palin haters snipe from the sidelines about her alleged lack of "seriousness" or "qualifications" to be President. You people are simply repeating The Big Lie for the radical left, and doing their dirty work.
Trust me, when I tell you that it's not working.
I assume you place Romney in that camp, tho.
Read this (the entire article) - maybe it will give you a different perspective on what she’s doing (and it’s not running for president!):

Not presidential? Do you consider Obama presidential?
And Zero is
“As you well know, Sarah Palin has an image problem with the general public. The only way she’s going to get out from under it, is to demonstrate that she’s a serious person, with serious policies that deserve serious debate.”
She has an image problem with communists and other America haters. The general public loves her.
