#105 polkabout– I know your kidding here. Any person who knows what POTUS stands for couldn’t possibly believe that Palin is even remotely close to Obama in terms of experience, intelligence and an ability to communicate complex ideas. Palin couldn’t get her mind organized enough to answer softball questions from Katie Couric, while Obama has demonstrated an astonishing ability to deal with multiple crises despite an obstructionist Republican Party. You also couldn’t possibly mean that Obama achieved nothing while in the Senate, or that all he did was say “present”. Here we are, only 8 months after many economists said we were in for a severe 3-year recession, and the DOW is at an 8-month high while home sales are finally going up. AT&T and GM profits are performing above projections and the stimulus package has barely kicked into gear. And now he is working the most important and complicated issue any president has ever faced– health care reform. Anybody who thinks Sarah Palin could have handled any one of the issues Obama has faced 1/10th as well is on crack. Even noted conservative pundits have remarked about Obama’s ability to focus intensely on so many issues simultaneously. After 8 years of a president who was on perpetual vacation, this is a refreshing and reassuring thing to see.
