“That’s why I say I, like every American I’m speaking with, we’re all about this position that we have been put in where it is the taxpayers looking to bail out. But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the healthcare reform that is needed to help shore up our economy. Um, helping, oh — it’s got to be all about job creation too. Shoring up our economy, and putting it back on the right track. So healthcare reform and reducing taxes and reigning in spending has got to accompany tax reductions, and tax relief for Americans, and trade, we’ve got to see trade as opportunity, not as a competitive, um, scary thing, but 1 in 5 jobs being created in the trade sector today. We’ve got to look at that as more opportunity. All of those things under the umbrella of job creation. This bailout is a part of that.”

yes this “is a class of new political leaders” alright…just what we need…down home yokels with guns…isn’t she brilliant? and the think mr. laib, you were the first to recognize her value! congratualtions you big brain you.

Why don’t they just ask Bush his doctrine. It’s not like he died centuries ago. He’s right here!

Nope, won’t ever happen. Liberals prefer to talk around conservatives like we don’t exist other than as ogres with which to frighten children and each other. LOL

Here I thought OHB was running for messiah or saint. Now, I know he’s just running for emperor I guess we can relax. ;-)

Regardless the way people like Felix and the less-than-gentle-woman-farmer view Palin, and even what more balanced critics may think, Palin is one sharp and tough cookie. I dare either Felix or GWF to sit in the hot seat as Palin did giving well thought out answers, but also weathering the Gibson badgering trying to trick her into changing those answers to something he could use against her. Moreover, her voice never wavered and she never once lost her cool, which most of us certainly would have given that kind of treatment. Like or hate her, you should at least respect that kind of grace under pressure. I haven’t seen enough yet I’d commit to, but what I have seen I like.

Do we notice a trend here?

That interview is resonating with every working woman who has learned through painful experience that in order to succeed she has to be twice as good as her competition – because it is so readily apparent that Governor Palin is not even half as good as McCain’s other choices were. Will the moderator, too, have to explain the questions to her so that she can engage in the upcoming VP debate?

Governor Palin manifests the “deer in the headlights” look when asked questions by fatherly Charles Gibson; do we really find this to be a positive affirmation of her candidacy? Never has it been more obvious that Governor Palin is being used as a prop, and that she is willing to be used in that way. If she had any self-respect she would step down.

This was a humiliating moment for all women.

I watched a little of the forum last night. Just enough to see BHO use the imperial WE. Asked about where he was on 9/11 he told how he was driving down Lakeshore Drive in Chicago when he heard it on the radio. So far so good, many of us remember that day. Then he said he got to a TV and watched the action with the smoke rolling out of the towers. Then he spoke about the rescue efforts and said “WE were helping people down the stairs…”
That was it for me! All I could think was “What do you mean WE, kemosabi? You were 800 miles away from NYC!”
I guess he’s not running for POTUS. He’s running for King, Czar, or maybe even Emperor.
