Obama is LIGHT YEARS more articulate and intelligent than Palin... She can barely carry on a half intelligent conversation with Katie Couric let alone run this country! If you even watch the news, you would be more able to answer the questions that Katie Couric posed to Palin. It really is embarrassing to watch her fumble like that.
Obama never has to read from pre-written speeches - it comes right off the top of his head. Now as Bush, McCain or Palin to do that. I for one can not wait until the next debate.
I kept waiting for her to make some sort of coherent statement about her "foreign policy" experience... oh wait shes more qualified because she can see Russia from her back yard? Watch that Cafferty video again dude...
Cafferty nailed it when he said we should ALL be scared of this woman.
McCain does not have sense enough to choose even a somewhat more qualified VP... He's old and he's not going to live forever - so if he wins, and croaks, we're fk'd!
I dont care if u are republican or democrat, this is just re-god-damn-diculous.
There really is no excuse for it.
Jimbo, since I doubt you even watched the interview, let me break this down for you. And you tell me if this makes any sense to you.
Couric: In preparing for this conversation, a lot of our viewers … and Internet users wanted to know why you did not get a passport until last year. And they wondered if that indicated a lack of interest and curiosity in the world.
Palin: "I'm not one of those who maybe came from a background of, you know, kids who perhaps graduate college and their parents give them a passport and give them a backpack and say go off and travel the world.
No, I've worked all my life. In fact, I usually had two jobs all my life until I had kids. I was not a part of, I guess, that culture. The way that I have understood the world is through education, through books, through mediums that have provided me a lot of perspective on the world."
Who's parents did that for you? No one that I have ever heard of. I had to get my passport on my own and travel on my own dime. Wtf is she talking about?
Couric: You've cited Alaska's proximity to Russia as part of your foreign policy experience. What did you mean by that?
Sarah Palin: That Alaska has a very narrow maritime border between a foreign country, Russia, and, on our other side, the land-boundary that we have with Canada. It's funny that a comment like that was kinda made to … I don't know, you know … reporters.
Couric: Mocked?
Palin: Yeah, mocked, I guess that's the word, yeah.
Couric: Well, explain to me why that enhances your foreign-policy credentials.
Palin: Well, it certainly does, because our, our next-door neighbors are foreign countries, there in the state that I am the executive of. And there…

Couric: You recently said three times that you would never, quote, "second guess" Israel if that country decided to attack Iran. Why not?
Palin: We shouldn't second guess Israel's security efforts because we cannot ever afford to send a message that we would allow a second Holocaust, for one. Israel has got to have the opportunity and the ability to protect itself. They are our closest ally in the Mideast. We need them. They need us. And we shouldn't second guess their efforts.
Couric: You don't think the United States is within its rights to express its position to Israel? And if that means second-guessing or discussing an option?
Palin: No, abso … we need to express our rights and our concerns and …
Couric: But you said never second guess them.
Palin: We don't have to second-guess what their efforts would be if they believe … that it is in their country and their allies, including us, all of our best interests to fight against a regime, especially Iran, who would seek to wipe them off the face of the earth. It is obvious to me who the good guys are in this one and who the bad guys are. The bad guys are the ones who say Israel is a stinking corpse and should be wiped off the face of the earth. That's not a good guy who is saying that. Now, one who would seek to protect the good guys in this, the leaders of Israel and her friends, her allies, including the United States, in my world, those are the good guys.
90% of the people I have met in person are more qualified, more articulate and have a better sense of whats really going on in this world. I pray that Palin has no future with leading this country. We can not afford another 4+ years of the same BS that we have been going thru.
"A growing number of Republicans are expressing concern about Sarah Palin's uneven -- and sometimes downright awkward -- performances in her limited media appearances.
Conservative columnists Kathleen Parker, a former Palin supporter, says the vice presidential nominee should step aside. Kathryn Jean Lopez, writing on the conservative National Review, says "that's not a crazy suggestion" and that "something's gotta change."
Tony Fabrizio, a GOP strategist, says Palin's recent CBS appearance isn't disqualifying but is certainly alarming. "You can't continue to have interviews like that and not take on water."
"I have not been blown away by the interviews from her, but at the same time I haven't come away from them thinking she doesn't know s--t," said Chris Lacivita, a GOP strategist. "But she ain't Dick Cheney, nor Joe Biden and definitely not Hillary Clinton."
