Presidential politics is about selling the decisions – decisions that other people make or that fate incurs on the public. That person has to have enormous sales person qualities, particularly in the USA. External appearances and fast reactions are hugely important. No wonder actors can be very successful in politics. So I like Sarah Palin, she looks like a great sales person. She had that cheeky look on her face in the VP bash last night when she said that, about the people in Washington, you never know where they stand now and where they stood yesterday. They all had to laugh as she was right – but her delivery was just great. She will be a great president. If you’d go to pick a president with actual political skills, they’d all have to be attorneys that worked as diplomats on difficult agendas for the last 15 years. So the question is now, do they want some type of John Wayne or do they want some City Slicker. Personally I think Robert de Niro and Scarlett Johansson would be better. But that is what the voters will decide on.

And I’m going to go with what Whoopi Goldberg said on a recent airing of “The View”: Quite honestly, no one running is qualified to be president, because to be qualified takes experience. So, you go on who “seems” to be intelligent enough to hit the ground running. McCain? Yes. Obama? Yes. Biden? Not sure. Palin? No.

And we’ve gotten way off of my original post.:-)

@Kyla – > I don’t think Jocelyn meant any harm by using “dearest.” Also, and please know I’m not being mean when I say this, I believe the reason why no one is answering the Obama question you asked is because that seems to be a “by wrote” response from McCain supporters that they’ve been using for a long time now.

Update: @Jocelyn-> Kyla is a dear, dear friend.:-) We’re on different sides of the aisle, but that’s what makes the US great eh?

Jocelyn, have we met? I used the salutation Dearest Rashunda, because she is one of my closest friends on the planet.

I notice that no one has stepped up to answer my questions about Obama, even the easiest one of what specifically qualifies him to be president.

Must be too hard to find an answer, eh?

I asked those questions about Obama so that perhaps those who support him will look for the answers. I certainly wanted to know, and have looked the answers up myself. I also know that if I merely gave the answers they wouldn’t necessarily be believed.

We are talking about a very important job. Voting on emotions is not a good option.

Dearest Kyla,

You sound canned to me also.

@Kyla – > You sound like a press release.:-) Honestly, I think both sides are full of sh!t. It’s just that Obama has a little less.

I apologize for the one typo and the one grammatical error, as I am a highly tech savvy and extremely educated lesbian. I am also voting for McCain/Palin.

Dearest Rashunda,

If you only read the HuffPo or Daily Kos, you are getting a very left leaning view point. Try reading michellemalkin(dot)com in the US and smalldeadanimals(dot)com for the Canadian perspective.

Sarah Palin’s draw for me is that she has been a governor for less than 2 years and has accomplished much. The stand she took to end corruption and payoffs by the oil companies to the Republicans in power got my respect. She also got the pipeline deal negotiated and signed when the oil and gas companies had initially refused to pay for it, demanding taxpayers fund it. She got rid of the unnecessary perks of being governor, which would have increased her own level of luxury and comfort, and did not serve the taxpayers.

John McCain also has worked for years to try and stem the tide of political donations for favorable votes. His experience and readiness is evident.

Looking at Barak Obama, what international affairs experience does he have? What are the laws that he proposed? What brilliant legal papers did he write when he was the head of the Harvard Law Review? How can someone vote “present” over 130 times as a state senator? Does he have no opinions? Did he not understand the legislation enough to form an opinion? Were all those pieces of legislation irrelevant to his constituents?

How are those communities he organized doing? Where are the increases in quality of life for the residents of those communities? How many jobs were created? How much money went into “community programs” that were never realized at all? (Hint: most of it) What is the status of the apartment buildings that Obama was working on getting the asbestos out of?

The answers to most of these questions can be found on the internet. All except the records of Ayers and Obama working together.

What specifically qualifies Barak Obama to be president of the United States?

How many black people are voting for Obama because he is like them? If greater than 95% of whites were voting for McCain, it’d be called racism, wouldn’t it? People are already assuming in advance that if Obama loses, it would only be due to racism.

Why has the main stream media not asked him any questions about Ayers and Obama’s time together community organizing? Why have the records from that time been so hard to access by those trying to do due diligence on the candidate?

How can he barely know the former Weather Undergroud terrorist Ayers, yet have had his coming out party at Ayer’s home?

If Barak Obama is as brilliant as everyone says he is, then he is truly a major disappointment when you review his record of accomplishment.

I am very saddened and disturbed that in the 21st century when most people in America should be literate would follow such an “illiterate” line of behavior. You would think we were at the beginning of the 20th century, not the 21st. So much for the “information age.” Is seems to have dumbed down people more than empowering them.

I find in the workplace that the “average” American is uncomfortable with people who use a “large vocabulary.” I had a colleague at work inform me that there were people that were “intimidated” by my vocabulary (which I was not using at full capacity) and that because I was also Black that this made it even more uncomfortable for them.

So… even though I am saddened by the reality of the “average” American and Palin, unfortunately, I am not surprised by it.

God Bless America. It needs a big blessing and fast.
