it is funny how her flubs are splashed all over every news outlet, Yahoo front page, what have you, while Biden’s daily gaffes are all but ignored.
She should have said when Alaska was bought from the Eskimos in 1929, FDR went on TV and declared free trade between Alaska and Russia.
Obama HUSSEIN’S oreign experience is limited to traveling to Kenya to campaign for one month for his Radical Leftwing Muslim Terrorist Cousin who was running for President of Kenya and burning Christians alive in their churchs. This was while Obama was a U.S. Senator which of note, is highly ILLEGAL!
Did you know that Sarah Palins’s home school district website has a Russian section?

This is such garbage. Palin need not defend her “you can see Russia from Alaska” remark. She did not say that gave her foreign policy experience for heaven’s sake.
It’s true, you CAN see Russia from Alaska, though certainly not from Juneau. Good grief, Alaskan tour guides divulge this “ability to see Russia” tidbit all the time. I’ve heard them say it myself.
I think Palin’s point was simply that Alaska is very close to Russia and given Russia’s actions of late, this could be worth noting. During the infamous Cuban Missile Crisis there was much ado about the fact that Cuba is only umpteen miles from Key West. Same thing.
I've traveled the world.
Does that mean I have "foreign policy experience"?
Plus, as I've read, he vacationed in Pakistan, of all the wonderful vacation spots in the world, during a time when Pakistan was on the do not travel list for US citizens.
Interesting. How this clown made it this far is beyond me.
Nope. Only works for BHO.
Why do they always go on about her lack of foreign travel? She’s not exactly a wealthy woman. She’s got five kids. Maybe she couldn’t freaking afford it, you idiots!
Do You know anymore about Obama vacationing in Pakistan or do any other Freepers here have details? Nobody VACATIONS in Pakistan!!! You go there for a reason and only for a reason!!! Obama is ONE SCARY DUDE!!!!! and We neeed to know all the scary stuff on this very scary Unknown Anti-American Empty suit!
Bunch of stuff on the net but you could start here - and read the comments:

From Sweeetness & Light blog:
Funny how the New York Times makes it sound like Mr. Obama trotted out this latest bit of biography voluntarily. Whereas it in reality it would appear to have been more of a slip of the tongue.
But in any case, it is of course highly risible that Mr. Obama (and the New York Times) would think this burnishes his qualifications for the Presidency.
Though, Mr. Obama does have a point. Compared to Mrs. Clintons junkets as First Lady, he does have more actual experience overseas. But of course most Army brats could top them both.
Worse yet, Mr. Obamas revelations only serve to make him that much more shady. (If that term is still permitted.)
Which is undoubtedly why he has never brought up this vacation fact-finding mission before. And why he only did so accidentally.
What, you didnt know his only friend in New York City was an Pakistani living in this country illegally? Whats wrong with that?
Living with an illegal alien Muslim should be a resume enhancer for any future President.
I love the list of things she “never did” - until she did them!
Flubs?, What Flubs?
I haven't heard her make one yet.
I've heard the media sneeringly try and twist things she has said, but she has proven to be correct every time.
Obviously, the media and its requisite minions are too stupid to understand her straightforward,honest, and intelligent comments. They can only perceive the world and everyone in it through the haze induced by their DNC koolaid.
The right answer should have been, "I've been focusing on my constituents for sixteen years of public service. They don't pay me to fly around the world on junkets. I am bringing deep experience in energy policy and government reform to this ticket. John McCain did not want or need a foreign policy wonk as he has ample experience himself. I look forward to working closely with him on foreign policy, and all other issues of concern to the American people, for the next eight years."
