>> Obama is highly intelligent and educated.

I don't find Obama to be anymore highly intelligent than Palin. Sorry.

Educated? Sure. He had some breaks in life she didn't have. Like stumbling into a Muslim financier for his education. She didn't have that good fortune.

I find Obama's intellect to be below that of Palin, Gingrich, or Krauthammer. I know 25 year old kids who have skills essential to the presidency (like negotiating skills) which Obama lacks. In fact, negotiating skills are one of the most important attributes for a president, and his incompetence in this one area offsets any other intellectual ability he may have.

She is not, for example, claiming that government will cut out waste and abuse out of Medicare when it is totally obvious that government cannot and will not do that.

Show me the link to support your argument.

My knowledge of this doesn't come from links, dolt. It comes from years of experience in dealing with the government and watching politics (when you were admittedly not part of the process).

Given your own admission that you weren't paying attention until less than ten years ago, you should just defer to those of us who are more knowledgeable than you are. When I tell you the government cannot do this, you should listen. You are a youngster who has no experience with such matters.
