Charles, you pompous Fox bureaucrat. Ronald Reagan was "schooled" at Eureka College. And by the way, in case your schooling has failed you, he brought down the Soviet Empire.

And where is Eureka College? Miss Frickett wants to know too:

Krauthammer is a neo-con and an elitist but at least try to understand what he’s saying. He’s wrong, but that doesn’t make him a bad person, not like the Rats and such, who are bad people. He pointed out very early that he’s not talking about where she went to school.

I believe he’s wrong because I think what’s more important than learning everything about Tajikistan’s revolution and what the means to the Uzbeks is to have a correct, Christian worldview, and allow experts to advise you.

The "K" is talking about "schooled in policy development". You can do that on your own with concentrated study.

BTW, the Leftwingtards are more concerned with WHICH SCHOOL, not what somebody may or may not have studied.

Sarah studied journalism. Most of her critics studied journalism. The "K" makes his living stabbing at journalism.

What the "K" forgets is Sarah actually spent some time on a regulatory authority control board ~ she got "schooled" I am sure. Then, there are her own small business ventures ~ that's where Harry Truman got "schooled" in policy development.

He'd like a date I am sure.

Charles is letting his elitist facination with his own credentials dazzle himself. I dare say Palin knows more about how “policy” affects the average American than does the cloistered Krauthammer.

I know a lot of you people aren't going to like this, but Krauthammer is right.

Without proper foreign policy schooling, President Palin might give Israel away to those dedicated to its destruction.

Oh. Wait.

Actually Ted Baxter is far more insulting to Palin.

O’Reilly (and I’m paraphrasing): “She simply doesn’t know about the world. She has trouble with historical frames of reference (Cold War, Korean War, Muslims).

After listening to this, I’d be surprised if she ever showed up on his show again.

We’ve already done tried “schooled” - pretty much how we got in this mess to begin with.

Krauthammer annoyed me so much when watching O’Reilly last night. He sounded every bit a snob.

Charles, get off the socialist reservation please. You think that someone with morals and character can damage the country, more than the marxist in chief? You think someone who hasn’t allowed a viscous, lying media to destroy her when they are working 24/7 to do so, has no political no-how—no common sense? You don’t think she will hire whoever she needs to make the best decisions for this country instead of hiring Van Jones types who are out to destroy this country like all the Czars for zero....who she would fire in a heartbeat.

Your stupidity is staggering, or you are in the pocket of the one-worlders who are out to destroy every principle this government was founded on.

Krauthammer is too “schooled”. His ideas are all “theoretical” and his worldview is strictly elitist. The common people's reality and common sense are not his stock and trade.

Seems DC’s “best and brightest” have led this country to the point of destruction. Perhaps it’s time for someone normal to be the President.

I think what he means is she’s too honest. She doesn’t know how to lie through her teeth while smiling at you. She doesn’t know how to play both ends against the middle where she makes decisions and when they turn out absolutely terrible have a way to prove that she had nothing to do with it. She doesn’t know how to make it look like all the good decisions are hers and the crap belongs to someone else which was a complete shock to her. In short the type of demeanor we’ve seen in the WH these last two years.

As usual, you Palin acolytes miss the point. He’s not talking about formal schooling at an Ivy League. He’s talking about someone who becomes thoroughly versed on the issues through extensive study, reflection, and consultation. Reagan was a two-term governor of the largest state in the union. He spent years before that reading, speaking, and writing about foreign and domestic policy issues. He took the time and made the effort to learn about the major issues and to formulate his opinions. Palin has a bumper sticker approach to issues. Get beyond the surface and she is out of her depth. Her knowledge of issues amounts to talking points and Tweets.

So, now she’s on a family vacation bus trip and we’re all supposed to be terribly impressed that she’s visiting Gettysburg and the National Archives. Some of us have already been there and have read the documents. Her previous public appearance was a front row seat at the final episode of “Dancing with the Stars.” She’s following that up with pizza with Donald Trump, another publicity hound with a monumental ego. This is presidential? Give me a break.

Don’t understand why everyone gets all upset when someone levels any kind of criticism at Palin. It’s just one man’s opinion.

***The problem with her, I think, is that she is not schooled.***

The news media claimed Reagan was not “erudite” enough to be President.

Krauthammer must not be aware of the KISS doctrine: Keep It Simple Stupid.

Nebulous "schooling" on superfluous "policy" is not necessary if you follow the Constitution.

The total Federal budget should be between $500-$750Bn, and more than 75% of what Fedzilla does now should be eliminated and/or left to the States to continue or not.

No "schooling" on "policy" required.

With this followup to his and Will’s Sunday attacks, it appears Krauthammer senses that all-out attack right now is the only hope they have of stopping this juggernaut. They will not back off.

. . . when it comes to policy, she had two-and-a-half years to school herself and she hasn't and that's a problem . . .

Before you flame me for agreeing, please read my last few hundred posts, almost all of which have been strongly pro-Palin. When Palin announces (not "if"), I will donate the maximum legal amount to her campaign. When she announces, I will work for her campaign every moment that I can spare, and I will do everything I can to make that as much time as possible, consistent with the needs of my family, work is not an issue since I can take the year off, but family comes first. When she announces, I will devote several hours each day to posting pro-Palin comments on news sites and discussion boards to present her positions in context and promote thoughtful consideration of her pro-freedom, pro-America, pro-responsibility positions.

That said, I think Krauthammer has, probably by accident, hit a valid point. It really is not enough to know the right thing, which Sarah knows. Given the sophistication of the evil we face, our leader must know the strategies of the other side. Sarah really does have to study policy in its current form to learn how the far left fringe uses the machinery of the system to wear us down and score a win even when most of America opposes their agenda.

I'd like to see Sarah spend two or three hours a day for a week or more, reading a current textbook on social policy or educational policy and discussing the contents with her family and advisers. It will make her blood boil, but it will make her a more capable leader. At best we will have eight years with her as the leader of the free world, and I want her as ready as possible before that clock starts ticking. I want her prepared, not only to do the right things as decisions come to her desk, but also to reach out into the monster that our government has become and bring policy back under control. How does Krauthammer know she hasn't done this, and why do I assume he is right? Krauthammer doesn't know for sure, but I have seen no signs of such study on her part, and I believe those who have studied policy would have seen the signs. If she's sandbagging, holding back that knowledge, then I am impressed. Otherwise, she needs to make sure she knows what Krauthammer is talking about, because he has a point.

I wish Charles would run for president.

He is correct about her not taking advantage of these past couple of years to educate herself more, especially, on foreign policy.

However, I will still vote for someone with the right set of principles over someone with all the policy education in the world who is unprincipled.

I'll still take Sarah over ANY of the establishment Republicans. I do not consider Bachmann an establishment Republican.
