What I find really funny is watching the same people on SI who were politically dense enough to give Obama a pass on Reverend Wright, by not recognize he should distance himself from his church, now sanctimoniously claiming Governor Palin is not qualified to be VP. Let's see. Joe Biden has been in the Senate for something like 35 years. Please, someone, anyone tell me something meaningful he's done in those 35 years, besides driving around in limousines doling out money? Or traveling at the government’s expense to kiss foreign leaders and sip champagne at parties? Anything... I have little doubt, Sarah Palin will get more positive things done in 4 years, then Joe Biden has done in 35. He's part of the entrenched elite do-nothing but obstruct progress we need term limits to get rid of. Where would our country be today, had his judgment prevailed and we never built the Alaskan pipeline? Holding this unremarkable man up as some kind of foreign policy genius is the real joke of this election. Bloviating on the air is a meaningless exercise in self absorption when compared to actually leading and working with others to get something done. Obama on the other hand, is an empty suit of the highest order. Apparently, he was able to spend hundreds of millions of dollars in community service projects, but has nothing to show for it. Besides doing well in school and glad-handing ultra-leftists, what has he actually accomplished in life to warrant "ready to be Commander in Chief"? He is so unprepared to be President; he won’t even give unscripted interviews to the press. His past is so devoid of accomplishments, no one will vouch for his character who has known him longer than 2 years. Where are his college roommates? What did he do as the Law review editor? Did he write one article? One research paper? One proposal for positive change? His Senate accomplishments in 3 years follow the same path. What legislation has he authored? Did he actually do anything besides run for President while Senator? Surely, someone remembers something meaningful he involved himself with? The only people who seem to know him well, are a terrorist and radical preacher. What the knee – jerk anti Governor Palin crowd won't admit, is they just can't accept the fact that someone who hasn't planned for years by attending all the right resume filling schools, should rise to such a lofty leadership position. Let me clue you in folks, great leaders can come from any walk of life and any background. Whether Governor Palin becomes a great leader is an open book at this stage. But to dismiss her in such a knee jerk reacting way, is testament to elite mental models and elite bias.
