Answer 2

Well, the story is a backhand critique of Sarah Palin. Its fairly accurate though.  Sarah Palin really doesn't really have the experience at the Federal level where her decisions have national and international impact. Good article, I think I was only one who read it.

Answer 3

Senator Obama is the Democrated nominee and Gov. Palin is a tool.

Answer 4

Piano no I do not. Do all of the other republicans really believe that list? If you do I got some land to sell you. Why would the say he is a muslim when he has said over and over again he is NOT! I'm not a muslim but why do you idiots think all muslims are bad?

Answer 5

So you give us a link to the Huffington Post?  Can you get any more biased and liberal?  And no I don't agree.  Here are the REAL reasons why Palin is more qualified than Obama.

Political experience

Obama: Worked his way to the top by cultivating, pandering to and stroking the most powerful interest groups in the all-pervasive Chicago political machine, ensuring his views were aligned with the power brokers there.

Palin: Worked her way to the top by challenging, attacking and actively undermining the Republican party establishment in her native Alaska. She ran against incumbent Republicans as a candidate willing and able to clean the Augean Stables of her state's government.

Political Biography

Obama: A classic, if unusually talented, greasy-pole climber. Held a succession of jobs that constitute the standard route to the top in his party's internal politics: "community organizer", law professor, state senator.

Palin:A woman with a wide range of interests in a well-variegated life. Held a succession of jobs - sports journalist, commercial fisherwoman, state oil and gas commissioner, before entering local politics. A resume that suggests something other than burning political ambition from the cradle but rather the sort of experience that enables her to understand the concerns of most Americans..

Political history

Obama: Elected to statewide office only after a disastrous first run for a congressional seat and after his Republican opponent was exposed in a sexual scandal. Won seat eventually in contest against a candidate who didn't even live in the state.

Palin: Elected to statewide office by challenging a long-serving Republican incumbent governor despite intense opposition from the party.

Appeal

Obama: A very attractive speaker whose celebrity has been compared to that of Britney Spears and who sends thrills up Chris Matthews' leg

Palin: A very attractive woman, much better-looking than Britney Spears who speaks rather well too. She sends thrills up the leg of Rush Limbaugh.

Executive experience

Obama: Makes executive decisions every day that affect the lives of his campaign staff and a vast crowd of traveling journalists

Palin:Makes executive decisions every day that affect the lives of 500,000 people in her state, and that impact crucial issues of national economic interest such as the supply and cost of energy to the United States.

Religious influences

Obama: Regards people who "cling" to religion and guns as "bitter" . Spent 20 years being mentored and led spiritually by a man who proclaimed "God d**n America" from his pulpit. Mysteriously, this mentor completely disappeared from public sight about four months ago.

Palin: Head of her high school Fellowship of Christian Athletes and for many years a member of the Assemblies of God congregation whose preachers have never been known to accuse the United States of deliberately spreading the AIDS virus. They remain in full public sight and can be seen every Sunday in churches across Alaska. A proud gun owner who has been known to cling only to the carcasses of dead caribou felled by her own aim.

Record of bipartisan achievement

Obama: Speaks movingly of the bipartisanship needed to end the destructive politics of "Red America" and "Blue America", but votes in the Senate as a down-the-line Democrat, with one of the most liberal voting records in congress.

Palin: Ridiculed by liberals such as John Kerry as a crazed, barely human, d**k Cheney-type conservative but worked wit Democrats in the state legislature to secure landmark anti-corruption legislation.

Former state Rep. Ethan Berkowitz - a Democrat - said. "Gov. Palin has made her name fighting corruption within her own party, and I was honored when she stepped across party lines and asked me to co-author her ethics white paper."

On Human Life

Obama: Devoutly pro-choice. Voted against a bill in the Illinois state senate that would have required doctors to save the lives of babies who survived abortion procedures. The implication of this position is that babies born prematurely during abortions would be left alone, unnourished and unmedicated, until they died.

Palin: Devoutly pro-life. Exercised the choice proclaimed by liberals to bring to full term a baby that had been diagnosed in utero with Down Syndrome.

Now it's true there are other crucial differences. Sen Obama has appeared on Meet The Press every other week for the last four years. He has been the subject of hundreds of adoring articles in papers and newsweeklies and TV shows and has written two Emmy-award winning books.

Gov Palin has never appeared on Meet the Press, never been on the cover of Newsweek. She presumably feels that, as a mother of five children married to a snowmobile champion, who also happens to be the first woman and the youngest person ever to be elected governor of her state, she has not really done enough yet to merit an

Answer 7

No.

I don't because it was her husband who was in that party not her.

And Huffingtonpost is on par with the dailykos.  both leftwing rags.

Answer 8

Eight ignorant reasons. Senator Obama has a law degree from Harvard University. That makes him more qualified then Sarah Palin or John McCain, because he has the intelligence and judgment that matters when it comes to what is Right for the country.

Answer 9

Obama has never run anything. He has never been the guy making deisions ever. During his career in the Illinois legislature and his 140 days in The US Senate all he has ever don is stand and make fancy speeches. He doesn't even have the executive experience of a corner store operator.

Answer 10

I wish I lived in your little dreamland of lollipops and unicorns and cotton candy clouds, but I don't so Palin is still more qualified than Obama, tell me 3 things he accomplished in his partial 1st term as Senator, what legislation did he write and get passed?

Have you heard that she put the preceding Governor's jet on eBay because it was a waste of tax money?

Have you heard that she gives a $1200 check to each resident of Alaska every year because of the high gas prices there?

Have you heard that she helps monitor 20% of the energy that goes into America?

Have you heard that she went against Randy Ruedrich, the GOP head in Alaska, on ethics and got him fired?

Have you heard she has the HIGHEST approval rating of any Governor in the United States?

Have you heard that she hired a sub-cabinet group to reduce Greenhouse Gases in Alaska?

Have you heard that she operates on a 6.6 billion dollar budget as governor of Alaska?

Answer 11

lol... i don't think half the people are actually reading the 8 reasons.

Answer 12

Huffington - your source of UNBIASED political coverage since the Truman administration!!!

Answer 13

absolutely!!! thank you for sharing this article, it was fantastic.  

Answer 14

Sorry that is just a visceral attack on Sarah Palin. The first point about her having been part of the Independent Party is not true. The New York Times has already issued a correction stating that the person they quoted lied and that they did not confirm the information before publishing it.

Answer 15

NO SHE IS NOT SIR,

THIS IS THE TRUTH.

You want to get the USA into more debt than we already are in?

Don't vote for McCain then. (Bush will just leave him a to-do list on the refrigerator in the White House down the hall from his young hot VP which is a nice piece of EYE CANDY!!) also having her running errands just to watch her walk in and out of the Oval Office. LOL

He reminds me of meeting an attractive young women for the 1st time and wants to give her the world, but in his case he wants to give her the whole country.

She is just 1 heart beat away from running the U.S.A. WOW!!
