How can you say she has no foreign policy experience when she has successfully governed a state surrounded by foreign countries?

  1. Her own MOTHER-IN-LAW doesn't think she's qualified.

    And she has known her a lot longer than you or I.

    And guess what?  I'm going to believe what this lady is saying.


  2. I would say its fair to say she has equal foreign experience.

    She traveled to Iraq to check up on the troops and Obama made trips to Africa and such before the primaries so *shrugs*

    The lack of foreign experience doesn't bother me.   I think the more they have vested in AMERICAN interests the better.  

  3. Its not that either have a great deal, but that Palin (if she had to step up to the plate), has the intellect, and moral compass to lead.  

  4. Well neither has EXPLICIT foreign experience.  I guess Palin gets an ounce more than Obama because of Alaska's location, so Sarah wins by a slight amount.

  5. Obama supporters are panicking.  She has to deal with Canada and Russia so yes she does have more experience than Obama.  Palin also has executive experience.  Obama was a community organizer.  Alaska is 1/5 the size of the US not a small state like Delaware. Get real people.

    Proud Liberal does not have a clue.

  6. Sarah Palin rocks, and I think the Obama supporters are running scared. Because they see the big picture. When Obama loses to a girl, no one can say it was rigged, and they have no clue now, on how to get Obama elected. Democrat for McCain/Palin 2008.

  7. Ha ha.

    I see you've been watching ?Steve Duecy" from "Fox Noise"

    and

    you know she can do a "Beauty Queen wave" and she taught her girls the wave, it is so cute, not.

  8. wow what a way to think. That like saying the gov. of Illinois  or Michigan etc. has substantial foreign policy experience since they are right next to Canada. or the gov. of florida since they are close to cuba. Youi are no better than the FOX pundit who said she has great foreign policy experience since Alaska up there next to Russia. how can people be so ignorant....

  9. and Palin didn't need to be shamed into visiting our brave troops.

  10. LOL NOW THAT IS A REACH.Republicans have taken liberties with the truth now for 7 straight years while America has sat back and watch our country be torn apart and our sons and daughters die in a hostile country far from home. When will America Finally say ENOUGH!!

  11. She has zero expericance

    Check out the facts

    Besides, it is illegal, under our constitution, for her to negotiate with foreign countries.

    She has almost zero experience

    Some say Obama has no experience, this should put that all to rest.

  12. She is also a Hockey Mom!!! YEY

    WTF are People thinking\????/

  13. lol...come on two years?  Give me a break!  Palin hasn't had time to travel far from Alaska with five children!  Her last job was mayor of a tiny town!  And wasn't she pregnant during those two years?  Most doctors prohibit travel....

    Besides, I can see the need for Palin to assume the Presidency more of a reality.  Biden taking over would be no problem, however, Palin....BIG problem!

    And didn't she ask, what does a VP do?  Ya think someone explained it to her? McCain did tell her to take her time during that first news conference.  Could that be an insight into what McCain perceives her abilities to be?  Just a bit slow??

    can you manage that with a small population

    tough lady i think

  15. This question is just a joke, right?

  16. I agree. Not to mention that China, Japan, Korea, and who knows who else, fishes off the coast of Alaska, some of the best fishing grounds in the world. People in Alaska are part of the U.S., but connected to Canada, across the strait from Russian and have to deal with fishermen from Asian countries. And, let us not forget, Russia settled Alaska first!

  17. Palin's foreign policy "I don't know what is going on in Iraq, I don't keep up with it".  CSPAP  July 2008

  18. You are really showing your ignorance.

  19. OK, imagine this....Mccain does win...never going to happen anyway, at his age, God forbid dies, Palin as President....That would be the funniest thing EVER!!!! She may be an intelligent woman, not disputing that, but, Mccain only picked her because she's a woman, shows his character...HA! She is not ready to be President...I would laugh my a** off. She would be freaking!!!!

    Oh, and Obama supporters are not freaking, they are laughing!!!!

  20. ahahaha....can't..stop laughing!

    This woman has zero and I mean zero foreign policy experience. And you guys excuse is she has experience because Alaska is close to Russia...lol, that's not going to fly with the American public.

    Obama has talked with world leaders, he's traveled the globe. In the U.S Senate Obama has served on the foreign Relations committee and the homeland security comittee. Barack Obama also has a degree in Political science specializing in International Relations.

  21. Proud Liberal...you are quite clueless.  A degree is a piece of paper, what you learn in a textbook is not what you learn in real life.  

    I wouldn't say necessarily that Palin has more or less experience than Obama.  I'd say it's roughly the same.  But I'd say that Palin is a very quick study with as much as she's been able to learn and do in two years as governor of Alaska so I'd put more faith in her than Obama.

  22. A point I've been making since the first hour of the announcement.

    She has much more foreign diplomatic experience than the top of the Democrat ticket.

    Edit; So negotiating fishing rights, trade, and transportation, security, and oil isn't foreign diplomatic experience?

    And to the person who mentioned the states bordering Canada-given that ANY border state with Canada OR Mexico has to deal with trade, security, and transportation, the answer is YES!

    Geography lesson; Neither Illinois NOR Delaware share a border with a foreign country.

    Edit: Governors that negotiate with foreign governments do so as a representative of that STATE  not as a representative of the Federal Government (that is what is illeagal),   They can not negotiate a peace treaty in a time of war; they CAN negotiate the import of goods into their state from a foreign country under US Law.

  23. Palin decreased her own pay. She rocks!

  24. Those aren't foreign countries goofball...those are polar bears and seals.

  25. Oh God...same old same old in here too.  THis quesiton has been asked 5000 times in the past 24 hours.  STOP ALREADY.

  26. McCain is having Palin give a speech on Iraq then heading over to the middleeast and europe for 2 weeks.

    That should give her as much fooreign policy experience as Obama


  27. Individual states have no foreign policy interactions with sovereign nations. Nobody in Canada or Russia had even heard of her until a few days ago.

  28. She has more "executive" experience. Not more experience in general.

  29. So you are saying she has more foreign policy experience than McCain too.

  30. I assume this is a joke question, so I may give a ridiculous answer. Well, Barack Obama has LIVED in foreign countries...h**l, he was even BORN in one - Hawaii! See where I'm going here?

    In all seriousness, Sarah Palin doesn't even know what the Vice-President's job entails, and hasn't a clue about the state of political turmoil in present-day Iraq, and the current negotiations to withdraw from that country, much less all of the other critical areas of concern in the world today. If she actually was ever thrust into that job by the sudden death of President John McCane, she would have to be fed a script for her every utterance and every decision, from guess where? The Republican Military-Industrial Complex. Sound familiar? ...think about it America...is that what you want?
