When did the term "on the job training" apply to the second most powerful position in the world? On the job training for geeks, technical people, secretaries, or even McDonalds associates I can see but the Vice President of the United States? Sarah Palin is getting hers today at the UN.
Palin is supposed to meet with world leaders today at the UN. She will take no questions from reports, talk to no one of consequence and then leave. That is what the McCain campaign believe is enough for her to be "brought up to speed" on the complexities and problems of the world. Foreign policy experience was suppose to be Obama's shortfall but he didn't have to get "training" on how to talk to world leaders. Who or what book will she consult if pressed with a "real" world problem? Hillary Clinton as a VP I can see because of her vast experience. But Palin is NO Clinton. Just because she can shoot a wolf at 20 yards from a helicopter doesn't make her qualified to take on the Russians the Chinese or even my little sister.
Obama has show a unique and steady hand when it comes to taking on problems. Palin is the same as McCain, shoot first and ask questions later. Obama has met with world leaders even before his trip to Europe. Why doesn’t McCain send Palin to Europe and see how she handles it on her own. I am sure he won't because she would then have to actually have a conversation with someone other than his campaign. Palin is a joke and so is the entire McCain campaign. They remind me of the wrestler who use to run on the storyline that he would "Lie, Cheat and Steal" to win the championship. That is John McCain. He has already been called out on his lies. His cheating has been documented when he left his first wife. And he has been stealing for the 26 years that he has been in Congress, especially during the Keating 5 era. This isn't the WWE John it is reality.
Working to climb the ladder takes effort, knowledge and luck. Palin's climb to the number 2 spot for the Republicans took stupidity, greed, and ignorance. Now she is going to be "trained" how to perform the duties of VP in the middle of a world crisis. Is this yet again another "smart" move by the McCain campaign. No. Who the Hell in the UN wants to actually talk to Palin about her plans? Why isn't McCain stepping out front of her skirt and telling us what HIS plans are? He can't because he has no plan. She is more the pretty face out in front of the old senile senator who can't tell the difference between the SEC and the FEC. If it wasn't so damn scary it would be funny.
Obama's steadiness has shown me again why I am going to vote for this man. If someone in Washington would have stood up to the Bush administration and actually acted like a "maverick" maybe we wouldn't be in this mess. But no, Mr. "shoot from the hip" knew that he was going to need the Bush admin if he was gonna make a run for the job. Country First or Country Last? McCain said that he learned a lot from the Keating scandal. Has anyone seen what he learned written down anywhere or spoken from his mouth? I guess he learned that you have to be a great "flip-flopper" to stay in Washington. Obama has not changed his stance since day one on most issues and I applaud him for that. He has genuine concern for this country and the direction it is going. McCain's only interest is in fooling us while he is running and then changing back into a Republican as soon as the election is over.
I want a President I can TRUST.. Not a flip-flopping liar. McCain has shown over and over that he can't be trusted and his running mate is no better. "I will cooperate" and then "No I won't". "I was for the bridge" and then "No I wasn’t". Training? Training to be a flip-flopping fool like McCain.
Say it loud and say it proud. "Obama for President". An American we can "TRUST"!!!!!!!!!
