So we get stuck with perhaps the least qualified, least experienced, and least leading president since I have been able to vote. Now, back to bashing Palin because we need a distraction/straw man to hide behind.

How better to create a great opportunity for even a mediocre GOP candidate in 2012.  I realize not wanting to win the WH seems counter-intuitive, but President Obama is the perfect set-up for the next batch of GOP presidential wanna be's.

My issue with Gov. Palin is this: Passionate spokesperson, folksy and seems approachable, but light on a real leadership resume.  I'm every bit as capable of spewing the talking points as she is.  Somehow people mistake her ability to do that with some sort of great politcal intellect.  Given the large stage she's been given as well as six hours a day of Hannity, Limpbaugh, and Beck, I could look like a viable candidate in '12 as well.  She will always take the partisan party line which might maker her a great legislator.  A great leader has to be willing to compromise and I don't think she's got it in her.

I admire what she's risen to, don't get me wrong, but she's too much of a reality show candidate for me, Guido.

Sarah Palin just wishes she had the attention that Charlie Sheen is getting.

You should have heard Gary Busey on KRMG with Joe Kelley.  He makes The Sheen sound perfectly sane.

Quantity maybe but that is probably all.

Seriously, what does that say about this country. Obama even takes a back seat to Sheen--I mean, after he sends our soldiers in harm's way then runs off to South America.  Anyway, here is another story of lefty hero Moore, this time wanting Obama to return his peace prize. Is Moore replacing Sheehan or the revs as the biggest (pun intended) attention whore in this country?

Yup, figured that would bring you out.

Kucinich is introducing legislation to "Defund" the war on Libya. 

He is also citing what both VP Biden (in 2003) and President Obama (on multiple occasions) have declared in previous speeches when they were attacking President Bush on Iraq, that under the constitution, "only congress has the authority to declare war."

Let's see if I can find it. . .Ahh, yes, here you go:

"The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation," Senator Barack Obama, Boston Globe in 2007 :-X Doh!

Kucinich is planning on inserting his measure in the next supplemental spending bill.

I do not think she is electable (assuming she is running) given the savaging she took in 2008 and still gets today. I do think she would be acceptable in a leading role on energy policy, though. I like her because she makes the left and so many people in this forum collectively piss themselves whenever she speaks or posts something on freakin Facebook.

As an aside, is there any other non-office holding person (and grandmother) who can affect the electorate and policy more than Palin?  Oprah? Limbaugh? Beck? Moochelle? Last week she had an audience with India's business and political leaders and with Netanyahu in Israel. Seems as if some people (okay millions) are interested in what she has to say.

Minor fix on Kucinich. Freakin fantastic point about this bozo's hypocrisy and down right political pandering. Does anyone here still believe anything this guy says?

They're all crawling out of the woodwork now.

Leftist hero Hugo Chavez comments today during "World Water Day"

"Careful! Here on planet Earth where hundreds of years ago or less there were great forests, now there are deserts. Where there were rivers, there are deserts," Chavez said, sipping from a glass of water. He added that the West's attacks on Libya were about "water and oil reserves."

I guess we're just waiting on word from Sean Penn, Barb, and Alec Baldwin.

Not only has he racked up more debt than all other presidents combined. . . Now he is credited with firing more cruise missiles than all other Nobel Prize winners combined!
