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:

Courtesy of Thomas Sowell, here is a list of examples of someone who has extensive foreign policy schooling.

Which, if any, of these atrocities does Charles Krauthammer think President Palin would engage in?

Obama's calculated insults to Israel expose his leftist ideology

One of Obama's first acts as president was to send money to the Palestinians, money that can be used to buy rockets to fire into Israel, irrespective of the rationale for the money.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. A photograph that should tell us a lot about Obama shows him on the phone, talking with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Obama was seated, leaning back in his chair, with his feet up on the desk, and the soles of his feet pointed directly at the camera. In the Middle East, showing the soles of your feet is an insult, as Obama undoubtedly knows.

This photograph was no accident. Photographers cannot roam around White House, willy-nilly, taking snapshots of the president as he talks to leaders of foreign nations.

It was a photograph with a message. No one would have known who was on the other end of the line, unless Obama wanted them to know -- and wanted to demonstrate his disdain.

Netanyahu's visits to the White House have been unlike previous Israeli leaders' visits to the White House, and certainly unlike the pomp and circumstance accompanying other nations' leaders' visits to the White House over the years.

After one of his meetings with Netanyahu, Obama simply told the prime minister that he was going upstairs to have dinner. You wouldn't say that to an ordinary neighbor visiting in your home, without inviting him to join you.

Obama knew that. Netanyahu knew that. It was a calculated insult. And the American public would have heard about it, if so much of the media didn't have such a hear-no-evil, see-no-evil and speak-no-evil attitude in its coverage of Obama.

Visits to the White House by prime ministers of Britain -- our oldest and staunchest ally -- have likewise been downplayed, and Obama's visit to the Queen of England was likewise conducted without the respect normally shown to a monarch.

One of Obama's first acts upon reaching the White House was to return to the British Embassy a bust of Winston Churchill, the most eminent statesman in Britain's history.

All of this is consistent with Obama's general approach to foreign policy -- selling out our allies to curry favor with our adversaries. He flew to Moscow, shortly after taking office, to renege on the American commitment to put a missile shield in Eastern Europe, in hopes of getting a deal with the Russians.

Obama is politically savvy enough to know how to get his point across without blowing his cover.

The fate of the United States of America may depend on how savvy we the people are in seeing what he is doing -- and how soon, before the situation becomes irretrievable.

-------

Sowell could have added President Urkel forcing The Dalai Lama to vacate The White House via the back door with nary a word of caution not to trip on any of the bags of garbage sitting outside the door.

He could've mentioned The State Dinner he held for The Prime Minister of India outdoors. Under a tent.

I'm sure there are many other examples.

Um, actually, Charles, I’m not sure what you mean. Other perhaps than “Sarah Palin didn’t call me and listen to me like I was God speaking from the burning bush.”

It’s conservative political policy, Charles. It’s not the Gnostic mysteries.

“Policy-making,” to him, means a knowledge of the existing system. But the system is not getting things done.

He really sounds like a teacher assessing an underachiever. Which he isn’t.
And she isn’t.

One of my political fantasies is to see neo-con Charlie Kraut pushed down a stairway ala Dustin Hoffman in “Marathon Man.”

Obama having ZERO policy qualifications was overlooked because why? Because he is half black and the MSM love him.

Who gives a rats arse what you think Herr Krauthummper. I know I don't. I hear the Democaps believe you are their secret weapon. I don't know about the secret part though.

Even if Charles is correct, the numbers on Indies does not look promising for Sarah. And the DC Pub establishment fears and hates her. So, where will the dough come from? My guess is,she is a Queen-King maker and will not run. Who needs the MSM and Dem hate when it is an uphill race. But, I would not be shocked in Bachmann becomes the VP choice for someone. Not at all.

How about an example, Mr. K? And how do you know what she does and doesn’t know?

I think she’s playing rope-a-dope on policy for the time being. If she decides to run, at the right time, she will explode with policy statements.

But then, I not a smart as CK. ;-)

Just another stuffed shirt pompous a$$ who thinks he needs to explain things to us “Little People” out here in fly over country.

Save it Charlie...(Sorry...I meant Charles) we don’t need your high and mighty approval of anyone nor does Sarah.

BTW.....Why is it when you are being interviewed you always lean back, chest puffed out and look like you have a stick up your rear???????

Too many in this thread and elsewhere could use some schooling themselves, so as to be able to differentiate between what Sarah actually says, and what the media says she says.

This can help:

‘Bring Her Down’: How the American Media Tried to Destroy Sarah Palin [Kindle Edition] $2.99

It’s well researched, and a quick read. Fully one fourth of it is devoted to footnotes with supporting URL links.

Some of you may be surprised to learn that she has, in fact, been schooling herself, and that many of the things you think she said, she didn’t.

Don’t let the enemy media (or Palin’s enemies here on FR) tell you what to think.
