That's how we got Odumba. All the "brains" or czars and advisers he bought with our tax dollars helped get us into this mess.

Sarah Palin Facebook page is a battleship from which many powerful broadsides have been launched. On Monday afternoon, she wrote one of her longer posts, called “Conquering the Storm,” to address the Obama Downgrade.
It’s a big piece, but well worth reading in full. Compare it to the weary talking-point retread our clueless President delivered in his statement on the same afternoon, and you can see why the markets were nose-diving even as Obama spoke. Palin wrote the speech he should have given, but is utterly incapable of conceiving.
As Palin points out, the S&P downgrade wasn’t a surprise to people who were paying attention. She claims no great powers of clairvoyance. She was just reading the statements pouring out of the credit agencies, which is hard to Democrats to do, since they immediately roll those statements into clubs for beating the Tea Party. She was also paying attention to the European horror show that Democrats work very hard at ignoring:
One doesn’t need a Harvard Law degree to figure this out! Just look across the pond at Europe. European nations with less debt and smaller deficits than ours and with real “austerity” plans in place to deal with them have had their ratings downgraded. By what magical thinking did we figure we could run up perpetual trillion dollar deficits and still somehow avoid the unforgiving mathematics of a downgrade? Nothing is ever “too big to fail.” And there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Didn’t we all learn that in our micro and macro econ classes? I did at the University of Idaho. How could Obama skip through Columbia and Harvard without learning that?
Palin was an early and perceptive critic of the QE2 currency manipulation program, dramatically outperforming all the high-level wizards of the Federal Reserve.

Views to the contrary will require valid transcripts from legitimate academic institutions.
C'mon, show me!
Smart doesn’t matter; you can buy brains. What does matter is character, and the ability to judge the character of others. And that can’t be bought, only proven.
My response to that would be "Yes, in the same way John Grisham or Steven King write their own books."
Does anyone doubt that Steven King wrote The Shining?
And yet, he uses editors who critique, review, correct, and restructure his writing as part of the process.
So when I hear about any politician "Well, yeah, but they use speechwriters" I always think, "Don't authors use editors?"
i agree an important piece and a marker laid down by Palin on her leadership skill

Some certainly seem defensive about your simple straightforward question. As I recall, she was a journalism major in college, so it seems that writing might be high in her skill set. Also, it seems obvious to me that she has at least ten points over Obama on I.Q. points. It shows in her spontaniety, her dry sense of humor, her knack for summing up a situation in a few memorable words. She is very smart.
Doesn’t Alaska have a 12 billion surplus now, because of Governor Palin’s policies?
Show me the records you’re hiding zero!
Did you read her emails that were released? If you had you would see she if very capable of composing an article with this breadth and depth.
Was it reviewed...I darn well hope so...I am sure Todd read it and commented on it, just like my spouse helps me.
Obie is deliberately and methodically destroying America. He is a successful man (at doing what he has been sent to do)
The new large truck fuel consumption dictation is the latest albatross intended to hurt American trucking and that which they carry, which is practically everything.
Coulter’s book title “Demonic” is accurate. She has him and his allies pegged.
She’s running. You can’t read that essay and not come to that conclusion.
Holy crap! It IS bad!
My wife and I are owned by a Calico shorthair, that cat is definitely smarter than Obama.
Sometimes Biden breaks out of his fog and seems pretty damned smart.
All catz are smarter than Zero. I think Shannon is smarter than I am, because I have to get up in the morning, and she doesn't!
Horribly bad. Even Beverly Perdue, our Governor Sugardumplin’, maybe be cleverer than Zero. At least she can speak her idiotic comments in her own words, in something resembling sentences, instead of having to read them.
(Have the radiator on the broom checked for plugged passages, Debbie.)
You’re trying to convince us that the people Obumer surrounded himself with were intelligent and have brains? Do you want to rethink that position?
“You’re trying to convince us that the people Obumer surrounded himself with were intelligent and have brains? Do you want to rethink that position?”
Nope. I think they’re tanking the economy on purpose.
They have to have SOME intelligence such as how to tie their shoe laces and they obviously have brains. They may be made of mush, but they do have brains. LOL!
She’s a genius
