I had to say this here
February 7th, 2010OK. Another board I frequent had an argument about who was worse, Obama or Palin. I said that that’s about as absurd as arguing what would hurt more - getting kicked in the left nut or the right nut.
Obama is an intelligent man. I’m not going to argue that. He speaks well. Well, so does Donald Trump, who I’ve seen speak first hand. Do we want Donald Trump running this country because he speaks well too? Hell no.
The problem with Obama is he’s a perfect example of someone with formal education but no practical experience whatsoever. Heck, when I came out of college, I had my ideals too until I saw how reality worked. Obama is completely in over his head and in only a year, has shown he’s completely incompetent. He has no understanding of economics and he’s the wrong guy to lead us out of the worst recession since the Great Depression. In summary, wrong man for the job.
Palin on the other hand is average to below average when it comes to brains. No, it’s not a media conspiracy that’s out to get her. She doesn’t need the media to show she’s not that bright. All she has to do is speak.
Hey, I love the fact she gets it when it comes to Second Amendment issues. I’m stoked. But that’s one issue. Right now, our biggest problem in this country is the economy. We’ve been outsourcing more jobs than we’ve been creating for years now and it’s come back to bite us in the ass. We’ve had the residential real estate crash. We’re about to have a commercial real estate crash. We’ve already had the banking crash which Bush and Obama both bungled and frankly, Palin wouldn’t do any better either.
So we got a smart guy who speaks well but is clueless about reality versus a very average woman who speaks horribly who at least gets one issue. Yeah.
I really hate sounding cynical as cynicism has NEVER accomplished anything. Ever. But allow me to be just this one time. We had the right man for the job in Ron Paul. But I’m now convinced America is just too stupid to elect him.
I have to admit I had no faith in Obama but I have no faith in one man running this huge country by himself.. They need help and it seems they dont have enough logical people to help them at all..
i wrote in my vote for ron paul. i looked into him seriously after i read what you had to say about him. he convinced me. i agree with you there.
if i have to choose between an idiot and an intelligent person, i’ll choose the intelligent person though. at the very least he seems to not have the level of arrogance sarah palin has ignroance and arrogance…well we had that in dubya. i’ll pass on more of that. so i can at least hope obama is smart enough to surround himself with folks who will advise him well. but no, you shouldn’t take that as a ringing endorsement of him. just that there’s at least a little room for hope.
Tweetey - I don’t either.
Lime - Good write in.
I’d choose the intelligent person too. I won’t deny that. I hoped Obama would surround himself with intelligent people but instead, look how many people Obama took from the former administration. WTF was Obama thinking?
