Palin has busy schedule at UN

This is embarassing. Palin is a featherweight who apparently has no idea she is in over her head. You can bet McCain's advisors know, yet they think a few days of lessons in this time of crisis for the USA will do it? The rest of the world must be sitting back, laughing at us for picking a no body who just got a passport last year.

I didn't think it could be worse than bush, but it will be. McCain has a better than 30% chance of dying in office and then we have someone less qualified than my friends to assume the highest office in the land. Thanks McCain. This shows your "patriotism" and care for the country. We're sunk. FYI: I'm a woman who didn't intend to vote for Obama but will do so now.

Just call it Foreign Policy 101 for Sarah Palin. Since being chose as Veep for McCain, I am sure she's getting crash courses in politics. She just does not have time to talk to the press. So this is what it comes to, Sarah Palin is acceptable as a woman candidate because she fits the requirement: Female. Forget about the rest of the more qualified Republicans. Sarah's our gal for the job!

What? It's not enough that Sarah can see Russia from her porch??? Why should Sarah have to go through all the work of this just because of the Democrats? I'm one who strongly believes that "on-the-job training" is a valid tool, and no doubt Sarah would be a great student! C'mon, give her time! Why put her through all this all at once!

Foon,

Alaska is the first line of defense in our missile interceptor defense system. The 49th Missile Defense Battalion of the Alaska National Guard is the unit that protects the entire nation from ballistic missile attacks. It's on permanent active duty, unlike other Guard units.

As governor of Alaska , Palin is briefed on highly classified military issues, homeland security, and counterterrorism. Her exposure to classified material may rival even Biden's and certainly by far exceeds Obama's.

Why so mad American citizens!!, You all think she's not good at all, but take a good guess, who ever laughs last will have a good laugh at the e

"As governor of Alaska , Palin is briefed on highly classified military issues, homeland security, and counterterrorism. Her exposure to classified material may rival even Biden's and certainly by far exceeds Obama's."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... Thanks for that. Whoo. I'm guessing you were kidding around and not serious with that one. If eating moose burgers and a B.A. in journalism after stints at 6 different colleges makes one qualified for VP, then I have no doubt that Palin is more than up to the task.

She never had a passport until LAST YEAR. Come on... you think a person who has never left this country except maybe to go buy more moose burgers in Canada is fit to run the country? Talk about unqualified. Holy moose.

You cannot have a serious conversation with leaders of other countries unless you have at least visited another country from time to time. I'm talking Europe, South America, Asia... anything. Any experience outside this country so that you know that all the negative propaganda the moronic, insular rednecks of this country drum up about France or Spain or England is just so much hot air. Immersion in a different culture - even for a week or two - so that you see how the other half lives. Walking 10 feet in someone else's shoes so that you can see that most people are inherently good and do not deserve to be bombed out of existence on a whim as the Bush/Cheney/Roves of the world would have you believe.

I'm not asking for a lot, but I'm asking for a LITTLE more than Sarah "featherweight" Barracuda brings to the table.

Just the facts.....
Maj. Gen. Craig Campbell, adjutant general of the Alaska National Guard, considers Palin "extremely responsive and smart" and says she is in charge when it comes to in-state services, such as emergencies and natural disasters where the National Guard is the first responder.

But, in an interview with The Associated Press on Sunday, he said he and Palin play no role in national defense activities, even when they involve the Alaska National Guard. The entire operation is under federal control, and the governor is not briefed on situations.

As far as I can tell, there have been no emergencies or natural disasters during Palin's term, other than the occassional lost hiker, that would have allowed her to exercise even the limited role she has with the guard.

Obama had his dance card filled with the press core following him around Europe. It seems to me that Sarah Palin's trip to the UN this week has saved a lot of money and airplane fuel and is accomplishing the same thing Obama tried to do for photo opts. in Europe . She is visiting all the dignitaries with private sit down meetings with many of them. Obama is running scared of her. He knows she has far more experience in all aspects of running a government than he does.
It has nothing to do with her being a woman but everything to do about what she can bring to the office of vice president. She is as capable of taking the reins of president if called upon as Obama is. What a nice thought of her being the next VP of this great country.

All you leftist liberals are just mad as heck aren't you? I can't blame you I guess. See, little Miss Sarah is getting rave reviews internationally already and she hasn't even set foot on the world state yet. See there's something you angry liberals need to understand. .. brains, beauty and grace CAN all come in one glorious female Republican package and WE'VE GOT IT! Look, it's understandable that you're angry and the closer she comes to getting all that experience you keep saying she lacks, the faster you feel your candidate slipping from the white house. You all do understand that in order to understand foreign affairs one does not actually have to fly to the foreign countries, right? Sarah is SO loved and adored by foreign dignitaries, that they are actually COMING TO MEET HER! And we all know thye won't be disappointed and that's what's got you all so upset.
But seriously, relax guys. You're gonna blow out a vein. Such anger!

Actually, to be completely accurate Governor Palin did send 26 National Guard members to help with hurricane relief.

This all just is amazing, silly and ridiculous...I am a middle-aged mom in Utah and I deal with adoloscent bullying in the middle school where I work....I think that makes me qualified to go with Ms. Palin to meet all the foreign leaders....Maybe we could all have tea...I cannot believe that our political process has let this mockery go on...and another thing I just don't get...how can anyone just not show up for a subpoeana? If I didn't show up, I would be arrested....this is all just too wierd.

You don't need experience to meet with dictators they don't even care who you are so please people especially you liberals and leftists don't jump all over just because Governor Sarah Palin didn't meet one of these nuts.As a matter of fact I can just meet them myself and they'll impress right away especially if I walk up to him or her and say "Hi I heard so much about you and I want you to know if I'm fortunate to get elected as Vice President of the United States of America,my country,please don't make threats like we're kids I'm not the gal you want to mess around with ok? See you again soon".Why apologise to dictators they can only see oneway and that's their way.

NEWS CONFERENCES FOR PALIN PLEASE!!!! Where is the media?? Without news conferences, she is not even worth considering for Vice President and possibly President of the United States!!!!

Now be fair, Sarah is just hoping they like her, I mean really like her. She has a winning personality and that is very important when talking to foreigners. She could really help our country be just being nice and maybe taking them huntin'.

Giving a vote to Palin, is giving the country to the republican establishment. Well, she has no idea what she's talking about, she has no distance, she's the ideal prey for the "consellor". In fact, Palin will be used and manipulate by anybody you don't know yet. What a better place to be, the hand in the muppet. You make it say what you want and nobody, as kid, think you're talking behind it. Be serious, even a genious can not learn in a few weeks what takes many years of experience to realy understand.

While I can admire your desire to defend the vice presidential candidate your party has nominated, I have to point out that you yourself answer the question as to why Ms Palin is an unacceptable candidate. Your description of Governor Palin as "little Miss Sarah" says everything about why she is unsuitable. I can't imagine referring to anyone I would want to hold such an important and prestigious office in such a patronizing and condescending way. It would seem that you have little respect for her as well. It certainly doesn't make her sound as if you see her as a possible commander in chief . As for gaining foreign policy experience in the next 24 hours, I'm happy she will have that under her belt. Wouldn't it be better if she had that and so much more? Wouldn't it be better if she had studied some of these things sooner and wasn't having to try to build her resume in the last months of a campaign. Wouldn't it be better if John McCain had offset the disastrous, but not unlikely, possibility of him dying in office by choosing a fully vetted, fully seasoned vice president? Wouldn't it be better if McCain had chosen a vice presidential candidate we could all be proud of?

PLEASE EMAIL WEBSITES, NEWSPAPERS, AND TV STATIONS TO STOP REPORTING ANY NEWS ABOUT PALIN. STOP COVERING OR BROADCASTING ANY OF HER EVENTS. DO NOT PRINT ANY GOP NEWS THAT INCLUDES HER NAME. IF THIS ALMOST WOMEN REFUSES TO HAVE A NEWS CONFERENCE, OR ANSWER QUESTIONS FROM THE PRESS WHY SHOULD SHE BE ALLOWED TO HAVE ANY COVERAGE OF HER SPEECHES OR COMMENTS. SHE REFUSES TO HAVE A 2 WAY CONVERSATION WITH AMERICA, SO BLACK LIST HER. WHY WOULDN'T SHE WANT US TO KNOW JUST HOW SMART SHE IS REGARDING THE ISSUES THAT BIDDEN, BARRACK AND MCCAIN ARE WILLING TO ANSWER. HELL SHE WENT TO 6 COLLEGES TO GET HER 4 YEAR DEGREE SO SHE MUST BE AS SHARP AS A TACK

Except for Obama's visit to Iraq where he met with the Prime Minister there, I would say he is just a "featherweight" as Sarah Palin. Isn't that the reason he picked Joe Biden? Remember during the Primary how the Obama camp mocked Hillary Clinton's travels where she met with different heads of states as "having tea" and therefore not the same as having foreign policy experience? Remember how he chaired a committee on Afghanistan, and for the year he was campaigning, never has a meeting on matters relating to this committee?
For those who are worried that she might flunk the interviews, please be reminded that she has a degree in journalism. Also, as a television reporter, she handled the sports news. She doesn't use a lot of word whiskers--Uhmmm--Aaarh, etc. as Obama who is supposedly the great orater. Obama is lost without his teleprompter, and although he attended Law School at Harvard, he fumbles and mumbles during interviews. Sarah Palin will do just fine. I am an independent and although I don't agree with some of her positions, there are things that I admire about her.

Waht a joke this person says she knows foreign policy by "viewing Russia from gher back yeard" who is the Republican party kidding! Thbis person is SO insecure and now she will not let the press in on her UN trip onlyu a photo op. No wonder the repbublican party wants to kepp her in wraps she doesn't know what she is doing on foreign policy. Any voter giving them their vote for this bad deal deserves this bad deal called sarah Palin!

What did these meeting consist of ?

Exchanging Kosher Moose-Burger recipes with Kissinger doesn't count.
