Comments on: Senior Obama aide: Palin speech drew, repelled voters http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/04/senior-obama-aide-palin-speech-drew-repelled-voters/ All politics, all the time Tue, 22 Dec 2009 17:49:37 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Nate- Minneapolis http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/04/senior-obama-aide-palin-speech-drew-repelled-voters/#comment-1655328 Nate- Minneapolis Thu, 04 Sep 2008 22:05:45 +0000 http://cnnpoliticalticker.wordpress.com/?p=16879#comment-1655328 "I Really Want to Know" The experience people are taking about- "Executive Experience" refers to the executive branch of government. Police officers have more executive experience than McCain, Obama, and Biden. Police officers, afterall, execute the law. Legislative experience is the that of creating laws. Obama's experience leads him to create and understand the intent of laws, which would also qualify him for executing them. Palin has executive experience, but I'd argue that she is under-educated and that her overstated resume is very thin. Furthermore, does governing the 47th most populated state (largest state but governors don't govern land) that is 1000 miles away from the rest of us and doesn't have nearly the same issues as most other states qualify her as president. Alaska is very homogenous in terms of religion, culture, diverisity and politics. How prepared is she to govern the rest of America? But the whole argument is flawed since experience is only useful if it improves your judgement. Palin has no record or position on which she can contrast her experience or lack thereof -with any judgement. Considering that McCain picked her I question his judgement too. Because of McCain's age and medical history it's important to have a qualified back up- that's not ageism it's reality. McCain undermined his most significant advantage. When the excitement wears off the house of cards and facade that this is will be known. "I Really Want to Know"

With an even MORE conservative stance in 2008 and an unknown VP who won't talk to us beyond prepared speeches, I am very afraid. The security of our nation, the economy, health care, the environment, energy and all sorts of issues warrant a clear headed leader with good judgement. McCain is not proving to have much of that and now not even much remaining integrity. To have him backed up by an unknown is just too risky for me. This is no football season where you can have an untested rookie on the bench. With Obama, his feet have been held to the fire for almost two years. He's been through the wringer forward and back. We know more about him than we do John McCain. Experience is everything in your life that has brought you to this point. Obama and McCain are the two with the most diverse experience. I know the least about Palin's experience. I've seen examples of judgement from both and can't say I'm impressed with McCain's, especially in his judgement to go negative and to give up his maverick status to kiss up to the conservatives. 38 days after 9/11 he was on David Letterman advocating that we go after Iraq. I'll go with someone who's shown his good judgement time after time. That's not McCain. In 2004 I was afraid of what four more years of George Bush would mean.

If he studied her hard and actually vetted her appropriately he would have seen that she is not truly fit to be his VP. Nor is she what MOST Hillary supporters were looking for as a counterpart for Hillary. There is only one Hillary Clinton who has more experience, guts, charisma and charm than McCain, Palin and even Obama combined. Mccain thinks that Hillary supporters are stupid that we will just jump on Mccain's side because his VP pick wears skirts. Well he is wrong and I'm OFFENDED, thanks Palin for giving me the oppurtunity to look at Obama again. I may or may not vote for Obama but i definitely will not VOTE for Mccain.

However, we do need someone with more tested leadership experience than Palin. I would have have prefered a McCain-Huckabee or McCain-Romney ticket. If McCain dies in office because of his age or reoccurance of cancer, I would feel if Romney or Huckabee took over, we'd have a stronger national security stance.

And I'm also really offended that she's been able to lie so blatantly (saying that she said 'no thanks' to the money for the Bridge to Nowhere, but she was really supporting it, and then took the money and used it anyway when the deal feel through). If she's a serious candidate for VP, she should be seriously questioned about issues like this.

The real issues are yet to come from the PRESIDENTIAL candidate. Not the VP position. Everyone is comparing her to OBAMA when she should be compared to Biden. When it comes to Obama check the website on his 'not exactlys' that he has respresented. Obama is a mere puppet doing the whims of his wife. If anyone is smart, they would realize in voting for Obama you are actually putting his wife in as president. She is the one that wears the pants in his family. I think Mrs Palin did a great job.

Obama's speech last Thursday was one of comparison and promise about what he would do differently than John McCain if elected President. My only hope is that McCain has the same fired up tenacity that Governor Palin did, because I can see the independents streaming towards a more reasonable and logical choice for chief executive in Nov. On a personal note, every time I have heard Sean Hannity or Fox News, they always bring up Michelle Obama's quotes from the campaign trail, which have been largely taken out of context. I agree with Mr. Gibbs, one side has no respect for family or integrity. I agree completely.

Not once did she tell her positions on the economy or oher issues that are important to the American people. She dissed Obamas experience as a Communiy Organizer which was paricularly repugnant. Helping people who have lost their jobs and are down and out I find to be admirable. She neglected to mention his experience as a Civil Righs Attorney, State Legislator and Senator. I think one of Obamas best qualities is his ability to inspire people with his brilliant , uplifting Speeches. Mc Same and his spokespeople are trying their best to make this a negative.

Her speech was smug and you could tell that she is a "my way or the highway" type politician. She obviously has no interest in reaching across the aisle, and more division in Washington is not what this country needs. Palin and Clinton couldn't be more different. If you claim to be a Hillary Clinton supporter and are now backing Palin, it is clear that you just want a woman on the ticket.
