Brian - when you come in here, all "Mr. Voice of Reason", you know you take all the fun out of it... ;) -- Sorry you're working today. Off in time to take in some fireworks somewhere, perhaps?

Terry - you show me where I, once, offered up judgement of how Palin performed her job as Governor. I said nothing of her JOB as Governor of Alaska - I'll leave that for those who live there to judge the merits of her accomplishments. I simply offered an opinion about her ability to be President of the US, and an opinion about her ability to present herself successfully, in a manner that allows her to be taken seriously, to the national media. If Alaska feels well-served by Governor Palin, then I am glad... and then I am disappointed on their behalf, because their shining star threw in the towel. Ok- Governor Palin rocks - but President Palin? She's not ready. Not even close.

Bush often used typed notes (watch his hands... see?... notes!)... which he often mixed up, or lost his place on... or just ignored and winged it anyway. If Bush could have memorized a speech, maybe there wouldn't be bookfulls of "Bushisms" for our amusement. (I suspect there's a reason Bush didn't write his own speeches... but, I digress...) Just because there are words scrolling across a teleprompter, doesn't mean the speech isn't "real". Are you really going to judge the man's ability to perform his job on the fact that he reads words outloud from a screen? Who cares?

I can see by a lot of the comments how Obama and Frankin got in! I think Palin could do much better than all the so called "experts" comments here. I agree with Terry D. I don't think we need to worry about the next ones to "get in" as there won't be anyone running as there is no one that in their right mind that would even try to fix all the damage done by the ones in right now. Instead of the banks etc that got all the money, if they had given it to the people everyone in the U .S. could have received $100,000. Instead of having to payoff all the debt we are going to have because of some one that is so in a hurry to "fix" everything in the first 100 days that they do before they think it out! Its time EVERYONE starts living within their means and that means not having everything we want, but having just what we need.

A. H. Maybe ask General Motors and many banks who did not want to take any bailout monies if they lost any freedoms. Well put also Bob. K As far as I am concerned there are many liberals that could go to Canada since they like their Medical Care and never come back.Carie if you had LISTENED to her speach you would have found many accomplishments she did in Alaska even an earlier poster from Alaska said she was the best Govenor Alaska had in many years but no I am sure you only listened to what NBC ABC or CNN wanted you to pick up out of the speach They would never want to talk about the great things she has done and the rest of you that think there is a rumor about to start you people are sick. It is probably due to the fact that she needs to get a well paying job in order to pay off Lawyer fees trying to clear her name brought on by people sent to Alaska to dig dirt not gold.

A.H. posted "Because of Bush I need a passport to go to Canada." If you would research and read, the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative was enacted by Congress based on the 9/11 Commission Report. Bush only signed the legislation into law. The HomeLand Security and Dept of State is the one implementing the policy effective June 1, 2009 - which happens to be the Obama Administration. The Dem Congress and the "Occupant" could reverse the law if you want, as you seem to be iinconvenienced by it.

Well stated Terry D. Still can't figure out how they have created the invisible puppet strings that open and close his mouth, move his arms and legs, and turn his head.
