I agree. But note the media double standard:
George H.W. Bush was so "out of touch" that (the media claimed) he was baffled by a supermarket scanner. Obviously (they said) a rich guy who never had to deal with the real world was basically unfit to be president.
Sarah Palin (they now say) is so common -- why, she didn't even go to an Ivy League School! -- can you imagine someone who knows how to work in a fish processing plant actually serving as president?! How uncouth! We deserve better than that!
They never question anything about Obama, but any Republican is either too hoity-toity, or else too common. Any way you look at it, Republicans are unfit.
My own view is that this will backfire on the media and that people will see how real Palin is and decide that the country needs exactly that right now.
I agree about it backfiring as we already saw in Nov. and with the dancing show. I know I feel that the media is putting me down when they put Sarah down for things she says and does.
