So, how come when Sarah Palin’s “water broke” last spring, while she was at a convention in Texas, her first thought was: Hey, my water broke. I should get on an airplane, not tell anyone I’m in labor, and fly to Seattle. Then, get on ANOTHER airplane, not tell anyone I’m in labor, and fly to Alaska - 8 hours altogether - THEN have her baby... Is THIS the kind of decision-making we want in the White House ?

The bigger question for me with regard to Obama and the Democrats is that if they are able to "run the table" will they be able to "get it right". To resist the temptation to "pay off" all their supporters and make us swallow "fiscal" castor oil. If we want to live within our means it means we all are going to to have to do with less. Show me the politician who can sell that! Which is why I am not optimistic. The way Obama ran his campaign is the way he will run the country.......and that works for me. Do you raise any of these concerns in your classes? Are you even able to without incurring the wrath of the School Administration? Of course. The administration would not prohibit such conversations. You know......a lot of people think Republicans have been the ones who traditionally were fiscally responsible before Bush. But that's just not true. Look closely at this chart that graphs the national debt over the last 50 years.......its very clear who knows what they are doing fiscally: zfacts.com I think that the Dems have been forced to clean up the excesses of the GOPers.
