Sarah Palin

Have you attended a party or gathering where a mere mentioning of Sarah Palin's name draws black clouds, lightning strikes and tornadoes out of the clear blue sky? This is how crazy it gets when even highly educated adults mock her with one-liner zings...

-She's a joke!
-She's dumb!
-She's an idiot!
-Palin has no experience
-She can see Russia from her house
-She's a liar
-She doesn’t even know what newspapers she reads
-Fill in the blank with your own zing.....

It's even more absurd on TV. The so-called unbiased journalists and hollywood types are besides themselves and enjoy talking down Sarah Palin.

It's OK if people perceive her to be as dumb as a door knob. They are entitled to their opinons. But what comes out of their mouths in the next breath is what amazes me. It's a WTF moment when people start touting how much better Obama is. If Palin is an idiot the same logic should apply to Obama. Obama is an idiot too. Here's why?

-Have you heard Obama speak without a teleprompter?
-He believes there are 58 states in the USA!
-He's a liar
-He has less real work experience than Palin
-A fruit doesn't fall far from the tree (google his background and past associations)

Oh ya? How do you explain he's the POTUS? Great question! I'm still scratching my head. Maybe people who bought the "Rolls Royce" but forgot to inspect the rot underneath the car. Lately, I've also noticed a marked decreased in people praising or avoiding the Obama topic at social gatherings. Could it be people are embarrassed with buyers' remorse and now waking up and finding out that the "car" they bought is a scam and not what was advertised?

For the record, I left the 2008 POTUS election ballot blank because I didn't think the three 2008 presidential candidates were good for America.

Only .5% got all of them correct. (And we "gave" one answer that was technically not Palin, but actually Tina Fey)
