		<description>It&#039;s not Palin, it&#039;s what her popularity reveals about America.  It seems strange that many who are so doubtful of the current President&#039;s capabilities, and so critical of the smallest detail of his performance, would immediately conclude that someone like Palin has exactly what it takes.  I don&#039;t believe doubts about that are found only among those having liberal-leaning views.</description>

		<description>&quot;..choosing words that match the thought.&quot;

It&#039;s more likely, and obvious to many, that Obama searches for words that are non-commital at best, and obfuscating and deceiving at worst.</description>

		<description>Seriously, people are so shallow to believe that just because they got to pick this time between chocolate and vanilla... that somehow they freely selected their President. What about strawberry? Strawberry never had the chance. It is like setting a doctors office appointment. Everybody pay attention next time around. It goes like this... yes, morning or afternoon? ok we have 10:00 or 11:30. So you get a choice of two each time giving the impression you willfully chose 10:00. But you could never had 12:00 if you would have wanted it. Still, yo weren&#039;t forced, but the office manager got you to conform to office policy before you ever walked in. Americans are so much sheep.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Umms&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;errs&lt;/em&gt; are what you sometimes get when a person is thinking and choosing words that match the thought.  School teachers hate the mannerism, but to my mind it beats not thinking about your words at all, or staring off blankly into space while you consider.  

So far as that quoted Palin paragraph goes, I can&#039;t even follow the train of thought.  Maybe my old elementary teacher could have diagrammed the sentences and clarified the meaning.  It seems to me like a string of memes.</description>

		<description>Notice the absense of umms, errs, ahhhs,and other filler words. Try posting, word for painful word, with all of the ummms and ahhhs and pauses, one of Obama&#039;s off prompter verbal dissasters, and let&#039;s see how THAT reads. YUK!

As a &quot;PROFESSIONAL WRITER!&quot;, you of all people should understand that the rules for grammar and structure are relaxed regarding the colloquial nature of an informal verbal exchange. Only an arrogant asshole, like a &quot;PROFESSIONAL WRITER!&quot;, would demand that spoken language should precisely conform to grammatical rules.

In this answer to O&#039;Reilly&#039;s question, Palin communicated her thoughts far more effectively than the broken, littered, rambling, and nonsensical oratory tortures that often characterize Obama&#039;s candid answers. But that&#039;s because Obama isn&#039;t telling us what he really thinks. If he were truthful about his thoughts, none of us would ever have heard of him.</description>

		<description>lol, you will learn the hard way that those behind all these candidates (financial institutions, military-industrial-congressional-complex, transnationals, foreign governments that carry our debt, oligarchs of every stripe) can and &lt;strong&gt;do&lt;/strong&gt; install whomsoever they wish, including Palin: &lt;em&gt;that&#039;s how we got Bush &amp; BHO.&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;the left’s supposed infatuation with the personality of Barack Obama? &lt;/em&gt;

Supposed??? WTF? lets just stipulate that this is not open to debate emphatically, and go from there.

Corruption. What BO is and what Palin is not. Period.
I do not agree with many of her positions, I having examined her back round and experiences, I would vote for her just to watch Congress squeal like the pigs at the trough they are. And I mean both side of the isle. I would not stand in her way, as I would take a person of principle over one of deciet, regardless of their views.</description>

		<description>Obama, of course. Obama&#039;s and HRC&#039;s positions on issues and lifelong political philosophy are, and always have been, remarkably similar. Whereas Palin...ugh. 

Every time Palin opens her mouth, she delivers another astonishing pearl of semi-English. Here&#039;s an exchange with Bill O&#039;Reilly just from the last day or two...

&lt;em&gt;O&#039;REILLY: Let me be very bold and fresh again. Do you believe that you are smart enough, incisive enough, intellectual enough to handle the most powerful job in the world?

PALIN: I believe that I am because I have common sense, and I have, I believe, the values that are reflective of so many other American values. And I believe that what Americans are seeking is not the elitism, the the kind of spineless... a spinelessness that perhaps is made up for that with some kind of elite Ivy League education and a fat resume that&#039;s based on anything but hard work and private sector, free enterprise principles. Americans could be seeking something like that in positive change in their leadership. 
&lt;/em&gt;

I&#039;m sorry, it is very difficult to take seriously anyone who thinks this woman has any shot at the presidency.</description>

		<description>Peggy Sue, I agree with you. While I admire Sarah Palin, I feel as though the same cult of personality that won the White House for Obama would be in effect for Palin.  Yes, she did have experience as Governor of Alaska, but as someone from Alaska stated, Alaska is not like the other states.  I feel that she would bring to the White House the same inexperience that Obama has brought, and we cannot afford another another training period during these difficult times.</description>

		<description>Just lost yet another long response to the spam filter. god this is a moronic site. I&#039;ll just make one comment that I missed: your hate and loathing have nothing to do with Obama&#039;s success or failure. People like you are beyond trivial. You are, at best, the right-wing&#039;s answer to Stalin&#039;s &quot;useful idiots.&quot;</description>

		<description>Oh, you have an innate skill, Galt? Thanks for letting us know your skill set, and yes, I acknowledge that your assessment of my personality and knowledge base were simply devastating; it is taking all of my personal fortitude even to type a response, knowing as I  now do your uncanny ability to see searingly into my very soul. 

But I&#039;ll try. To answer your questions: anybody who knows anything about economics knows that employment is a lagging indicator of the end of a recession; most economists believe a) that the Obama administration&#039;s 8% assessment early in the year was wildly optimistic and being spouted for purely political reasons; b) nonetheless, the stimulus package and bailouts prevented a full-scale Depression; and c) the stimulus package, in order to get it passed, was way too small to have a sufficient impact on employment. Paul Krugman and other &quot;liberal&quot; economists wrote exactly this six months ago. Now their predictions are coming true, and Congress is talking about a second stimulus, which is almost certainly needed, and will almost certainly be opposed by, um, thinkers such as yourself and other Republicans.  

As for Afghanistan: for idiots like you to be whining about Obama taking his time figuring out a rational way to resolve that catastrophe, after the past eight years of object lessons of what happens when a U.S. president rushes heedless into military action without a sufficient plan, constitutes a moral offense against all the U.S. soldiers who have already lost their lives. Obama is acting like a commander in chief. If you&#039;re a Republican in thrall to Limbaugh/Palin-level political thought, I can understand why you wouldn&#039;t recognize genuine leadership when you see it.</description>

		<description>I like Sarah Palin.  Right now, she&#039;s doing great on her book tour.   Is she presidential material at this moment?  I don&#039;t know. Maybe she herself is not certain where exactly she wants to go? If her momentum continues as it currently is, she&#039;s going to be a force to be reckoned with, no matter which path she decides to follow.
I must also admit if the presidential election was held tomorrow and my choices were between Barack Obama or Sarah Palin, I would not hesitate to vote for Palin.</description>
