How could the Republicans pick someone like Sarah Palin to run for for vice-president? Really, she has no knowledge or qualities to be a politician on a national or international stage.
According to the
London Times, who quote the Fox News, "Palin did not understand that Africa was a continent, not a country, and did not know what countries were in the North American Free Trade Agreement."
When she was talking about taking stronger stance on the issue of Darfur, I wonder if she even knew where Darfur and what is currently happening there??!!
Pathetic and ridiculous, that's what she and those who let her run for vice-president are!

Truth is stranger than fiction.
I don't care if she does have four years to bone up as they say. She should know all this all ready.
You are undoubtedly correct BUT those people were not campaigning to be a heartbeat away from the presidiency.
Bammy called Jerusalem the undivided capitol of Israel...dunce doesn't know Jerusalem is one of the biggest issue in the negotiations. East Jerusalem is considered occupied territory by the Palestinians. Tel Aviv is the capitol of Israel. Barack doesn't understand even something as basic as this on the Israeli/Palestinian issue:
"Facing criticism from Palestinians, Sen. Barack Obama acknowledged today that the status of Jerusalem will need to be negotiated in future peace talks, amending a statement earlier in the week that Jerusalem "must remain undivided."
Obama, during a speech Wednesday to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a pro-israel lobbying group, had called for Jerusalem to become the site of the U.S. embassy, a frequent pledge for U.S. presidential candidates. (It is now in Tel Aviv.) But his statement that Jerusalem should be the undivided capital of Israel drew a swift rebuke from Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
"This statement is totally rejected," Abbas told reporters in Ramallah. "The whole world knows that holy Jerusalem was occupied in 1967 and we will not accept a Palestinian state without having Jerusalem as the capital of a Palestinian state."
The Bush administration's official position is that the status of Jerusalem is among the most sensitive issues and must be decided by the parties. Former President Bill Clinton, before he left office, had proposed a formula under which "Jerusalem should be an open and undivided city," including locating the Palestian capital in East Jerusalem.
Obama quickly backtracked today in an interview with CNN."

This on the job training will be difficult.
Sorry, but you are wrong. Jerusalem is undivided, my son was just there, it is whole.
Jerusalem is the official capital of Israel, though most countries fail to acknowledge this.
Perhaps you need the training, not Barack.
I know this is weird, but I'm starting to feel sorry for her. She simply wasn't up to being VP and shouldn't have been selected. It's like some low IQ person being put on display for public amusement. They shouldn't have done it to her. She was probably quite happy with her life in Alaska.
I say let them fight amongst themselves it will keep them occupied and maybe we can get something done.
There is a lot worse that we might never hear. The reality is, you look at Palin's background since high school, listen to her speeches and interviews, and you can credit her for her desire to do stuff and serve people. You cannot credit her for world knowledge, curiosity, depth, intellect. It is simply not there. There is no track for academic excellence. She won elections in small towns, and in one the smallest state in the union population wise, a state that no journalist goes to before it is so damn far.
Who is the governor of Hawaii? My point exactly.
