Next she will declare that she is going to clean-up the blogosphere !!

The one intellegent thing I've heard from Palin in a while.

" And the little TWIT goes TWEET TWEET TWEET! " - L O L - Perfect response Redhead! I suspect that she has become caught up in her own self 'importance' - And I suspect that her snub of Couric will backfire as it should, as it will. Then, maybe, just maybe we'll be rid of the pesky - individual.

I love that her selected way of communicating is through twitter and facebook - oh yeah! Absolutely the venue for a true journalist! She is a pathetic joke and total waste of time. In fact, this is already a waste of my time. Bye!

thank you feisty redhead, that's the funniest thing i've heard all month!!!...classic!

Merely mention the name Palin.........and it's like you poured gasoline down a rattlesnake hole. All the venom begins to flow, the hatefulness, the name-calling, the self-congratulatory comments declaring her inadequacy at every opportunity.

Tell me, if Sarah Palin is so irrelevant......why does the mere mention of her name cause so much attention from the left ?

One final comment, if Sarah Palin does, in fact, have a degree in Journalism, has it ever occurred to any of you that she might have at least SOME KNOWLEDGE of what she's talking about ????? No, that probably wouldn't work for you because she's a conservative and you liberals are so convinced of your own intellectual superiority.

Right. You'll see no biased "contributions" from Palin on Fox. She'll be the gold-standard beacon of responsible unsubjective journalism to which the others can only dream to aspire.

. . . and she'll still have time for book-signings and reality shows. What a star!

Chortle, perhaps little miss white trash is afraid of facing Couric, who most assuredly out-scores her on any IQ test, or perhaps she is fearful Couric can dance better than she or whatever dumb, illogical rantings Palin can display, in public. She also has much difficulty pronouncing simple words, just like ole dubya. Based upon intelligence and social skills, I would pick Dubya any day. Even ole dubya was less embarrassing than the Palin white trash clan. shudder, shudder

Perhaps Palin is afraid of Couric's responses to her moose bladder stew, bear skin cape and home brew! Awww -- only in America, a white trash icon?

As much as I wouldn't want to be Sarah Palin, I would hate even more to be Katie Couric.

Half-governor Palin has a Bachelors degree in communications with an emphasis in Journalism. So the article is incorrect in stating she has a degree in journalism. And to think, it only took 4 different colleges and 6 years to receive her degree. What a great president she would be!

Here's a copy and paste from Wikipedia: " Palin attended Hawaii Pacific University in the fall of 1982 and North Idaho College in the spring and fall of 1983. She attended the University of Idaho in the fall of 1984 and spring of 1985, and attended Matanuska-Susitna College in the fall of 1985. Palin returned to the University of Idaho in the spring of 1986, receiving her bachelor's degree in communications with an emphasis in journalism in 1987"

Good find Laura.

Jim-

When has she ever shown she has any knowledge of what she is talking about? Having a degree in journalism only qualifies you to go looking for a job in communications. You build your creditentials once you have been on the job for awhile.

Personally, I am not convinced of my own intellectual superiority so I am willing to listen to anyone who has well thought out opinions and can offer solutions to the pressing problems of this nation. Snappy one-liners and cute folksy phrases do not make policy.

It should be noted that Palins favorables are on the rise - While Couric's ratings are still sinking lower.

I agree with you feisty Redhead!

Since, when did Palin give us anything but her POV

and that God speaks to her, and that if God said she was suppose to become

the VP...etc etc etc .....Palin just stirs up the coffee is all I can say.........not much there

in the sense of solving problems...she just is full of complaints when someone disagrees with her.

Geez, what a surprise!!

So...was it her BA in journalism that got Sarah Palin the gig with FOX?

I hope this inspires people who haven't seen it already to find a video or transcript of Palin's 2008 interview with Couric. Anyone who thinks this woman is competent to be President of the United States would be given ample reason to think again.

And before I'm branded a liberal Palin-hater, I'm not. I'm a centrist who thinks both sides go overboard with their rhetoric (negative or positive) based almost solely on whether they see a (D) or (R) next to someone's name.

Actually Katie Couric has already had the interview with Palin that counts and told us all we need to know.

Can you imagine a real candidate announcing they won't speak to a journalist because they simply asked what Newspapers they read? Palin is going to have to learn to deal with those "trick" questions. Ha.

Fox has a larger viewing audience than the three (3) libbie channels....

Simple challenge there "j the weasel".....prove it or admit you are a liar!

You have been called out on this over and over - yet you never do....so let's see your numbers on FOX vs Courics CBS, ABC and NBC - the libbie channels...

if the MSM had a collective brain they wouldn't waste another minute of airtime on Sarah and just leave her to FOX, she'll do a plenty good enough job of preparing her own demise there and the rest of us won't have to put up with her nonsense.

Smallgov--maybe when she is done cleaning up the country and journalism, she can clean up your spelling. Or maybe not.

Why would she go to liberal mainstream media? She does not need it, at Faux she just needs to rant baselessly to keep her audience stupefied, in the Liberal Biased Mainstream Media she so despises she would need to THINK and defend her positions retionally.

Sarah, Pleeeese run for President. I want to see more real interviews, and not just those softball questions Katie asked you last time.

PALIN THINKS DINASAURS WERE HERE 4000 YEARS AGO!!! She couldn't name a single newspaper, and she thinks dinasaurs were here 4000 years ago. Does that not give one pause as to whether this woman is of sound mind to run the country? Not to mention, Russia is her neighbor. Neighbor folks - as in next door. Right there, friend of hers. Having her little tea party with them. Every time Sarah Palin opens her mouth, the biggest problem of all is, she doesn't speak the truth. To me, that is a serious problem. She didn't finish her term as Governor, so she can't commit to her job at hand. This is not a left or right issue here, liberal or not, democrat vs. republican - this is about NOT EMBARASSING OUR COUNTRY. This is about having someone with at least half a brain in charge. I'd rather have Mickey Mouse at the helm (he at least knows how to run a business) than Sarah Palin. I am very scared where this country is headed if we even entertain the possibility of allowing someone this stupid into the top job of this country. Someone who is hiding from the media. Do you think in the Oval office you can pick and choose who asks you questions? Will she decide she will not answer the voter's questions because we are "unfair" or "unjust" to her, or picking on her? What about heads of other countries? If she can't handle the pressures now, how do we expect Ms. Sensitivity to handle international negotiations? With a shotgun in their eye? A dagger to slice them up when she's finished? This is not reality TV, this is the Presidential role. You don't get do-overs. I cannot believe there is anyone in this country who would hire someone like Sarah Palin to run a corporation, let alone an entire country. Wake up before it's too late - this is like a very bad nightmare.e pressures now, how do we expect Ms. Sensitivity to handle international negotiations? With a shotgun in their eye?

Hey b-dunce: Here are the numbers, point is, Fox News slaughters your cable lib channels not broadcast air. Apples to apples my friend, dust to dust.

Hilarious how you group-think, Orwellian, thought controllers squeal and oink over little ol' Fox News:

NBC 7,750,000
ABC 7,090,000
CBS 5,390,000
FOX NEWS 2,180,000

Laura,

A communications degree with an emphasis in journalism IS a journalism degree. That is just the way the degree reads. I have an accounting degree--it is a Bachelor of Business Administration with an emphasis in Accounting. That does not make it any less of an accounting degree. I am still an Accountant qualified to sit for the Certified Public Accountant exam.

Of course she doesn't want to be interviewed by her again, she had no problem at all making Palin look really stupid. But then again anyone with half a brain can do that. In fact Palin dooes it without any help at all.

First piece of business of the new Palin Order will be to silence those ignorant liberal stations and papers. This is as nature has intended and is just part of the natural order of the world.

About time someone moved to get journalism to clean up it's act.

This is how those online degree programs work. Pay $5 for a degree in anything! This should be good!

freememybrainhurts

I'm the dunce? Perfect response from a no nothing bagging conservative.

I don't think - I know - J the weasel said "then the 3 libbie channels" - and since this vine relates to Katie Couric and CBS...and what Palin considers the liberal media..your little deflection doesn't work.

So take your half azzed spin to your NO SPIN ZONE - no one is buying it!

You listed the 3 libbie channels - thanks for proving my point!

He lied and your backing of him was more pathetic then his original post - that is what is Hilarious!

Save you bagger speak 101 for when you are dealing with your 80 and over crowd - they'll buy into anything

Have a nice evening -

Couric is as biased as Feisty Redhead, just not as vulgar and with a journalist degree.

freempg.

keep up the hard work trying to pound logic into aliberals pea brain.

You have a hard row to sow..

Reality101

Just like the old saying goes everybody has got one....................or two

Has it ever occurred to anyone that Kate Couric is a conservative that loves George Bush? Oh the irony of it all.

Maybe the pit bull with lip stick (now that's good journalism she learned in school) can start by straightening out the irresponsible reporting by the FOX network, the propaganda machine of the conservative party. Not holding my breath though since she probably didn't really get her degree in college.

Do the math people. Sarah eloped with Todd on August 29,1988 and had Track on April 10, 1989. She either had Track early or Bristol was a lot more like her mother than in looks and gender. But wait that's alright since she conservative but I don't even want to imagine what those same people would have said if Chelsea Clinton had done the same. LMAO

Reality101

...That's MY opinion!

That it was and I copied and pasted the only words you spoke that made any kind of common sense.

Yeah... except the difference between YOURS (and you Palin bagger 'n wingers) and mine is that I never said that mine OPINION was the ONLY one that counts - UNLIKE you MENTAL DELUSIONALS.

YOU could learn from your own words (although I doubt it), and stop trying to make your worshipress Sarah Palin out to be some kind of "leader" and trying to push her down out throats. You nutcases are not dealing on a REALITY basis. The entire lot of you Palin baggers 'n wingers (just like your worshipress the PROUDLY IGNORANT SARAH PALIN) are dangerous DELUSIONALS.

Hey Dunce: Thought that bitter taste of tea (bags) in your mouth from Nov 2 might have sweetened your disposition, guess not.

too bad Fiesty doesnt have the following that Palin does...too bad Katie doesnt either!! She is a HAS BEEN!!

Who does she think she is? Clean up Journalism, and what credentials does she have to do this? I say all the true journalists (unlike Faux), need to stop reporting on her, if they would let all the jokers over at faux be the only ones reporting on her then we will hear less of her rhetoric!

How does this non-reader plan to "clean-up" journalism? Is she going to preside over a massive book burning?

Damn red headed sea hag hangs out just off the shore waiting for those newvine ships carrying Palin like a band of Somali pirates. I truly believe she is in love with Sarah.

Anyone who touts Fox "news" ratings numbers is hopeless. Even Fox's ratings are part of the propaganda. Not saying they are making the numbers up but what other news channel, or heck, any other program on TV takes so much time to convey to their viewers that they are leading in the ratings. Why should that matter to anyone? Too bad we don't have people touting the most accurate news channel. I would have no idea which one that would be because they all pretty much suck. Please Fox "news" viewers tell me how ratings = truth.

left or right, conservative or liberal - FREEMPG, you are a pathetic, vile, hateful person. Some of the most DISGUSTING commentary I have ever read on any board...what, are you 12? Or 65 and bitter cause Obama stole your retirement? Jerk...

Oh and Palin is an idiot!

Then WHY are you even on this thread (that's a rhetorical question). It's just like you Palin nutbaggers 'n nutwingers to think that EVERYONE ONLY wants to hear your freaky opinions.

All you've proven that you've learned how to cut and paste (which couldn't have been easy for you.

Read up and see my comment to "commonsense". It applies to you too.

Now go and play with someone who cares what you think. I don't. BYE

Her first incomprehensible sentence:

"I want to help clean up the state that is so sorry today of journalism.

followed by this sentence:

And I have a communications degree.

says it all. Shouldn't that last quote of hers be followed by a question mark?

And I have a communications degree?

Lol! I hate to tell you brother I was way smarter -far more informed, substantive and lot less petty than this woman is at this age....so please think of a better or shall we say less flattering analogy for this situation?

Louisiana Don. Please, to elsewhere, head over to FOX or Drudge where they appreciate disrespect and hatred. You want to make a comment saying you'd prefer Palin, you don't like President Obama that's fine, but your comment crossed the line.

I could never get tired of watching this interview. Can the woman be any dumber??

Dan - Do as Jody says. She's liberal and knows what is best. Besides if you don't hang on every word from Olbermann and maddow you don't belong here. I'm still wondering what line your comment crossed.

Palin will never run for President but it is really funny to listen to the libs when the subject is brought up.

Jody - disrespect and hatred go right along with liberals whenever the name Palin comes up so please get off your soapbox.

Jody if disprespect and hatred annoy you, ....perhaps you can recommend someplace for Feisty Red Head to go unless, perhaps you just don't like anyone saying they dont like Obama.....Just call it like it is....either you approve or you don't. Don-I don't see where clown is offensive at all.

I don't understand the fascination the media has with Palin...she's very outspoken, true...but you would think that if she were so awful they wouldn't keep putting her out there...I don't get it.

What is it about conservatives that they think they're better than other Americans, i.e., libs.

As one American more liberal than not, let me express it this way. Louisiana Don for example.

Libs sees to be a snide way of insulting liberals. Liberals are libs, see?

Conservatives don't seem to get a similar snide insult on these blogs, although it seems appropriate.

Liberals are libs, and Conservatives are, well, cons. See?

So to all the cons on this blog, please stop with all the comments from you cons, eh?

Yankee Boy - No fair. Actually, some parts of Louisiana are great. And, New Orleans has incredible food and jazz!

Rich pigs feed the likes of you skor. You would be nothing without rich people risking their money to hire you. Unless you work for the government. Then you would be out of a job as soon the rich quit making money and paying taxes. So please count your blessings from the rich this Thanksgiving.

I don't hate Palin and I am definitely no liberal but it absolutely astounds me that anyone actually thinks she is Presidential material or even close. Most of the people I know are right of center to right of the Attila the Hun and nobody believes for a second that she could govern our country. She is nothing more than a political gadfly whose 15 seconds of fame is long past due.

JH, I suppose you'll brand me as a Democrat if I tell you that it doesn't take too many brains to figure out which line was crossed. Even as a Independent, I can see the line. Perhaps you should get your eyes check, or attend a reading comprehension class.

millerz, wouldn't you find it offensive if I called Bush, Cheney, Boehner, Rove, Rush, Palin, or McCain clowns? Sure you would! And it would be

Also, you apparently don't understand that one of the qualities that drives media is a topic or person who is controversial. She fits the bill perfectly. She is divisive, has some sex appeal for the testosterone driven, doesn't practice what she preaches, and puts her children on the stage with her. It certainly isn't because she contributes in any intellectual capacity to the political conversation. She is identifiable for those in America who view themselves as "typical" when their children defy them, making mistakes as teenagers that have an affect on them for the rest of their lives, when they engage in activities that are not typical for females, and who have used their sexuality for personal gain. In other words, to a class of people whose moral compass and ethics is out of whack. Granted, there are plenty of those in this United States! They are not the type of people I have for friends, I can assure you.

I'll agree that some in the media are not journalists. However, her stint in the sports world after attaining her degree in journalism does not qualify her as a journalist! She has no experience in the field of her major.

Jody, Iowa

Louisiana Don. Please, to elsewhere, head over to FOX or Drudge where they appreciate disrespect and hatred. You want to make a comment saying you'd prefer Palin, you don't like President Obama that's fine, but your comment crossed the line.

If you believe that then you should be directing your comment to Dan himself. After all, he is the one that initially made the comparison between Palin and Obama. Grow up.

You know, this is the typical response I see from people that think they know best. They have absolutely NO experience but think they know best. Never govern anything but they know best. Never run a company and meet payroll but they know best. This is Obama. Palin may not be my first choice as President, but she has governed a State and apparently did far better then others like California, Nevada, and Michigan to list a few. No, it's not a coincidence that they are all controlled by Democratic Govenors and State Congresses.

its ok all, she will quit right in the middle of her campaign, when some opponent says something she does not like, she is a world famous quitter, if you cant govern Alaska, then she cant even run a campaign, she is a joke, worse than even twittering daughters, Fox is still a joke and needs to be run out the news business, fake news is killing any credibility of the Murdoch family

JH-479998,

Whoa, calm down there, Hoss! Your remarks directed at Skor are just a tad presumptuous, buster! What makes you assume Shor isn't already rich him or herself and doesn't even have to work?

Jody, what was wrong with LD's comments? I fail to understand why peoples' comments get collapsed when they express an opinion contrary to the majority. Besides, everyone knows Palin is dumber than a brick. She is just a publicity hound and opportunist. And since she has such an understanding of the Constitution, just how would she "clean up journalism." And this coming from the woman who proclaimed the health legislation would lead to "death panels." She is a national joke.

"you libbies sure are thin skinned".....lmao

the Tea Bagging/Conservative quote of the Night.

the Leader of your Tea Bag movement - the voice of the extreme right....will refuse to talk to Couric because her panties are still in a bunch from 2 1/2 yrs ago...

and you say "libbies are thin skinned"

priceless.

Actually JH-479998, we'd love for her to run, she'd be an easy one to beat and a guaranteed Obama re-election.

The thought of an uninformed, overly self-confident airhead in the White House goes beyond scarry.

The very next time you have a thought? Let it go.

Judging an individual by inconsequential events and then telling us the parts equal the whole is a logical fallacy, my friend. I do not have an issue with a man who does not wear a suit jacket to the office; I do have an issue with a man who has a drinking problem when he is a resident of the White House. I do not have a problem with a man who asks a bodyguard to drink a beer with him, but I do have a problem with a president who listens to an advisor who is a master manipulator and believes torture is justified.

Thus, the thought of Sarah Palin putting her sights on the White House and vowing to "clean up" journalism sickens me. How do you clean up free speech? Is her view the only valid one? What if I applauded Couric's comments and questions? Does that make me less desirable as a citizen, and prone to censorship?

Pookymaker, I hope that was an attempt at sarcasm.

Suits are for red coat patriots to the House of Windsor back across the pond. I thought we kicked those b!tches outta here 234 years ago, but then again, I also think the redcoats and British Loyalists that remained here morphed into the GOP.

I'd drink a beer and chat with my bodyguard if I needed to have a body guard. I'd much prefer that the guy who is protecting me actually liked me. The Secret Service guys hated the way the Clintons treated them, liked the Bushes, and so far like the Obamas from what I've heard.

I highly doubt Obama would get offended by that. Shaking hands can get you sick. That's why Donald Trump refuses to shake anyone's hand.

I can't agree more. Here's my take on this mess: We would all be a lot better off if the media wouldn't waste time on Sarah Palin. If she didn't get such air time, perhaps she would slink back to state and raise her faimily. (From my lips to God's ears!)

Sadly, some people thought we would be better off with the child king.....sadly they were all very wrong...

"Clean up journalism?" Start with FOX "It's Not a Lie If You Believe It" Spews. Sarah; you got punked by Katie Couric (and she wasn't even trying); oh how I wish Tim Russert were alive and you'd have to go on Meet the Press.

That's like saying your better off with a teenager performing your brain surgery instead of an actual brain surgeon.

Calling Doogie Howser!

OMG, this is a joke, right?

Lucky for Fox; there is no journalism there to be cleaned up.

As a cleaning lady, ah, she has to be aptly qualfied

Palin will of course wash her mouth first and then clean up the much dirtied airwaves and
leave limp-bark for last, otherwise she will flop the first attempt.

Has it ever occurred to anyone that Kate Couric is a conservative that loves George Bush? Oh the irony of it all.

But wait that's alright since she conservative but I don't even want to imagine what those same people would have said if Chelsea Clinton had done the same. LMAO

She'll reform the state of journalism all right! Heaven forbid that a journalist doesn't prevent you from making a fool of yourself, Sarah. It was Couric's job to ask you questions. That's what journalists do. Or, at least, they're supposed to do. For the fool part, you're on your own.

Maybe, it would be preferable to stay within the warm and supportive environment back at Faux News. There you're safe. There nobody will ask you all those difficult questions about world leaders and what they mean to us. No one will expect you to actually be informed nor will they expect you to read. You don't even have to know anything about geography. Just stick to the talking points and you'll be just fine.

Maybe this should be the model for journalism in this new republic in which we stand, Two nations (rich & poor, rural and urban, white & non-white, citizen and alien, educated and ....) under God, with liberty and justice for some....

So much hate from the left. Why?

Fiesty just come out of the closet and say, "I love you Sarah and I need you to define my existence!" I promise not to be judgemental. If Sarah is bible spice are you "Old Spice"?

Palin needs to stick with the other clowns over at faux, the only reason why faux's ratings are higher is people like to tune in for a good laugh!

Bob Randall,
It's probably because of the hate from the right that's been spewing out relentlessly ever since 1992.

Today's Center-Left is actually the Center-Right from 30 years ago. The Right gets gradually more extreme every election cycle and it drags the Left with it to the right. Today's right is extremely rightwing, and I think that is lost on most in the right side of the spectrum.

Clinton and now Obama too, are both good Republican presidents. Most of their policies would be considered center-right 30 years ago. That's an extreme irony.

While you a**holes on both extremes of the political spectrum are demonstrating your supposedly rapier wit with empty name calling and insults you are ALL missing the scary threat here. Palin says she is going to "clean up" journalism. This is blatant, threatening promise to start taking away freedom of speech by muzzling, freezing out and excluding the journalists who have offended her by asking her softball questions, a tactic we saw copied by Nevada senate candidate Sharron Angle.

The true irony is that she is saying those things from the platform of one of the most factually-challenged media outlets in existence. I'm not a regular viewer of either Fox or MSNBC, but I was a journalism major in college (who also did sports reporting) and I can tell you that FOX clearly demonstrates less compliance with basic journalism ethics, including fact-checking, and a great deal more obvious bias and echo-chamber, party-line reporting. In journalism classes, it's called "propaganda".

Remember you heard the warning here. There is an effort underway to take away our most basic rights and this threat to "clean up" journalism is part of it. Once enough of us are persuaded that "the media" need to be restrained we will be lost. We need - and should leave alone - all media sources of whatever political spectrum, and we should expect - hell, demand - that all candidates for office talk to all of them equally. Because once we start letting one or more politicians, people, government leaders, military leaders, etc., choose who the "good" or "valid" journalists are and which ones they will speak to, freedom of speech is already gone, and the rate of division and schism in this country will only accelerate.

Sadly, polls have shown that the tactic is already working and that a majority of Americans would not vote to ratify the Bill of Rights today if they were presented as amendments or legislation, yet unidentifed by the label of the Bill of Rights. We are becoming convinced that ways of thinking different from our own are so offensive, unacceptable and dangerous that we want so badly to restrict the rights of others that we are willing to compromise and/or give up our own rights in the process.

This country is dying from within faster than any outside power or terrorist organization can kill it. But that's the way the predators do it: turn a solid, united and formidable herd against itself and they become easy-to-pick-off factions. Read the posts on here... it's already working and we are doing most of their hardest work for them.

You are a tad hysterical. What makes you think Sarah Palin will be able to "clean up" journalims, let alone muzzle free speech. She HAS ZERO AUTHORITY to do so. I can not believe you are afraid of her.

She's just a person. I did forget. She knows how to shoot a gun. Can you imagine Sarah with her shotgun over at CBS' Black Rock in New York City? She can't get in the door with a Fox badge and most people wouldn't even look at her but I digress.

Thanks for the "warning" but I am not worried. Just as I am not worried when Palin talks about getting rid of abortion. She can't. It would take the Supreme Court to overturn its own decision. Doesn't happen very often. The last time it happened was 1954 to overturn a 1896 decision.

Sarah Palin can't do anything to stop abortion either.

I still voted for her and would contemplate voting for her for President. I don't make up my mind until I see all the candidates and the primaries have been finished.

That is the first freedom to go, Freedom of the Press and Freedom of Speech because they talk about her.

You would prefer a Governor who quits before the end of the term. If elected as President could she quit half way through again do we dare to take a chance like that I doubt if even teaparty people want to take that chance. It would be a first a President quiting. We have had Presidents die in office impeached and voted out but never one who has quit. Even Barbra Bush seems to understand what damage Palin will end up doing.

Lawrence

How exactly will Palin manage that? Let's be realistic for once.

I was considering voting for McCain before he took on Sarah Palin as a running-mate. After hearing her speak, I definitely changed my choice of candidate.

Some have said that they believe Palin would have been a better President than Obama. My question, then, is how so?

IN Dem

Why are you putting words in people's mouths? I NEVER said she would quit in the middle of a term.

By the way, there was a President WHO QUIT. His name was Richard Milhouse Nixon. He resigned on 8/9/74. And it counts even if you weren't born yet. Things happened before you arrived on the planet.

I am not worried about her quitting either. UNLIKE people in Alaska who can sue their governors over nonsense, none of us can sue a President.

Palin resigned because the major legal expenses she incurred because of all the FRIVOLOUS lawsuits filed against her. Lawyers are expensive.

But, necessity is the mother invention. She needed money to pay for the lawyers and got deals with Fox and TLC. Look who's zooming who.

But, PUH-LEEZ, I have not seen the line up. I do not vote for parties. I vote for people.

be careful, Sarah might want to Refudiate that comment!

Karen,

I'm not entirely sure IN Dem was talking directly too you. It sounded like a general question to the reader. But I do kinda agree that she does not have a stellar track record, weather its in governing, or public speech, or fact for that matter. I would expect that the person that I may vote for be able to answer basic questions. I have yet to see her do that. If you can show me evidence that she has, I would love to see it. It would prove many wrong if you could.

My comment is directed to the people responsible for monitoring these comments forvulgarities and inflammatory remarks. There are rules to follow on all news-vines. Those who won't follow the rules should be forbidden to use the news-vines. I realize I'm going to get a lot of flack for my remarks, it is not necessary to use vulgarities, curse words or symbols that mean the same as..... I hope I get some backup on this.

TTG1 - Please rephrase your question. Please also remember, that no one has to prove anything to anyone.

I believe in facts. Sarah Palin makes a hell of a lot more money than you or I. She has two tv shows.

YOU ALL TALK ABOUT HER CONSTANTLY.

Think about what that all means.

Thought about it... Still disagree though. I do think that my elected officials, for whatever office, have to prove to me that they are competent to lead and manage.

How much Ms. Palin makes neither impresses me, nor concerns me. It shouldn't be any big deal to you either. If it does, congrats, glad it makes ya happy. Her TV shows do very little to add to her credibility. All I see is a spacey publicity hound who constantly contradicts herself. Once again, I have never been given a reason to think she is competent.

Remember the real true facts only come from Faux News

God forbid a politician actually have to answer a probing question or two. Any journalist that asks even a mildly probing question these days is automatically branded "biased".

I am sick and tired of seeing milk-toast interviews of politicians. You know what? If you want to lead our great country, you can damn well answer a tough question or two.

To answer your questions about why we get our shorts in a twist every time Palin opens her uninformed mouth is simple. We aren't going to make the same mistake the Germans made in the 1930's with Hitler. We aren't going to sit idly by and let her gain a foothold.

This idea of reforming and reshaping the press to only ask questions she can answer smacks of censorship and won't be tolerated. I don't think the press could ever be dumbed down to that low of a level. They can only lower the bar so much even for her.

Dan...

The sad fact is that America realizes that currently, an incompetent Mickey Mouse would be a better president than the incompetent Barack Obama.

TTG1 - Your arguments and prose are non-sequitir. I would prefer that you do not vote at all for President.

I almost fell off my chair when someone compared Palin to Hitler. That WAS FUNNY.

But maybe it is true. After all, most of you acted like sheep and voted for Obama and look at the mess you put us in.

If you can vote for rock star Obama, maybe you would vote for a Hitler.

I know I never would but I appear to be a minority because I think for myself.

Nice Karen, you learned a big word. Too bad it relates less to what I said and more to your unusual argument. You think because I want politicians to be educated enough to answer questions that I shouldn't vote at all?

That is simply non-sequitir... By definition...

I also like how your argument just turns into a nonsensical rant about comparing politicians to Hitler. So, how exactly is a vote For Obama related to Hitler? Why did you even bring that point up?

Karen in LA

"After all, most of you acted like sheep and voted for Obama and look at the mess you put us in."

When Obama came into to office, we were losing 750,000 jobs a month and the Dow Jones was diving toward 6,000. The people who retained their jobs were worried that their 401K and other pension vehicles were going to be worthless. NOW THAT WAS A MESS!

The bailouts are being paid back at a profit to the government, we still have an auto industry, the Dow is over 11,000 and the economy is growing again. Sure, we still have a multitude of serious problems that could really use some bipartisan efforts but even George Bush acknowledges in his new book that we were on the brink of financial collapse. What if Obama had allowed your bank to close and you were unable to access your savings?

I don't agree with everything Obama has done nor do I agree with all of his priorities. However, I have to recognize progress in the country's economic security over the last two years and cannot call the man incompetent.

Good luck with that there Bible Spice!

How many universities did she attend to squeak out a Bachelors' in journalism? 5...6?

Hate to be the one to break it to the Ice Princess... but she'll NEVER be sitting in the Oval Office without having to deal with that pesky lame stream media... also too... dontcha know & you betcha!

And the little TWIT goes TWEET TWEET TWEET!

Will someone pass the popcorn! lol

SOOO can someone explain to me WHY my comment was collapsed and the OTHER 49 comments? Other than the right wing COWARDS playing their collapsing games?

USMC Vet - Unlike you, I can not wait until Obama's one term is up. I predicted that he would be a one term President on the day he was elected. So far, it's looking like reality. I care about our country and all Obama is doing is turning it into a socialist country.

LTTG - I was talking to someone else. After letting you know that your arguments and prose were non-sequitir, I stopped commenting on your posts.

Karen;

Give real examples of how this country is turning socialist. Just don't throw a label out there you might not understand. However, this country was and still has the potential to become a feudal society with the rapid transfer of wealth to the top 2% and a dissappearing middle class. Historically, when any society experiences a lop-sided distribution of wealth it becomes unstable.

I'm a registered Republican but no longer sure what the party stands for. It surely isn't the party of Lincoln anymore. We need bipartisan solutions. I think the Democrats made a mistake keeping Pelosi as their leader in the house. But I think the Republicans have made a bigger mistake by failing to put forth any definitive solutions. After eight years of shooting from the hip and winging it, now it's 'Let's not rush in to anything, let's study this some more'. We need campaign reform where the lobbyists stop running the country and something can be done for the people. It would also be nice to have these important issues discussed with a tone of civility. Some of us independents who are so angered by Palin are riled because she purposely destroys that tone of civility.

USMC

I need to get back to work so I did not read your whole post.

#1 - NATIONAL HEALTH CARE. It is UNCONSTITUTIONAL and SOCIALISTIC to require AMERICANS to buy health insurance. Period.

I KNOW the states that are suing WILL WIN.

I am not a Republican. I am an independent voter who votes for people, not parties.

I liked Clinton the best for President but since she wasn't running, I picked McCain/Palin.

Good post USMC-Vet. I agree. The word 'socialist' has been used in so many bizarre contexts that it is not longer a meaningful word. Socialism, has been generally seen as a government systemetically overriding the 'command and control' ability of industrial enterprises. Aside from some basic restrictions such as, not allowing child labor or slavery, anti-trust law, minimal enviromental protection, workplace safety, shared transportation systems (roads and railways), this country can not be considered socialistic by any means. It is clearly a market controlled economy. Nor, can the policies of this administration be considered socialistic. It is simply not true. Obama is a poltical pragmatist and a centrist. Although, an earlier post brought up the point that the U.S. is moving futher to the right in it's political spectrum. So the 'center' is more 'right' than it used to be. I happen to agree with that statement.

The concern is, where are we going with this? It's interesting that the "Progressive Era" was spearheaded by a Republican president, Teddy Roosevelt. This country was experiencing an unprecedented degree of wealth disparity. On one end was the relatively poor majority of Americans and on the other was the so called, Robber Barons (look them up). This country was rapidly moving towards becoming a feudal society with the few rich controlling the society. You can say that's happening today. But, it was much worse then. Roosevelt (himself a member of the priveledged class) turned this clock back by protecting our national forests and wilderness, protecting child welfare, protecting workers rights, putting financial controls to minimize the effects of the 'boom and bust' cycle. And, he was a Republican.

It's sad that history seems to be repeating itself. We seem to be going back to a time when, given enough money, a few can buy the government that they want. That civil liberties are slipping away. That environmental protections are portrayed as an excuse for economic success. I hope that we figure this out quickly. Although, when over a 3rd of the people polled last week don't even realize that the GOP has taken control of the House of Representives, it's really hard to keep hope alive. What were these people thinking?

Karen;

Health care is out of control. As you cry unconstitutional, remember the old Fram oil filter commercial? You can pay me now or you can pay me later? Millions and millions and millions of Americans are uninsured for health care. Because of this they do not get preventative care. When their problem becomes so severe that it must be treated, they go to the emergency room. Guess you foots that bill? A bill several-fold in severity that possibly could have been avoided if they had preventative health care. We taxpayers are footing this bill right now!!!

30 years ago I paid $200 a month for family coverage with Blue Cross / Blue Shield with no co-pays and no deductibles. Now I pay $2,100 a month for family coverage; more co-pays and deductibles than I can follow; and some employee without a degree in medicine in the HMO gets to decide should I seek treatment whether or not it is medically necessary.

The present administrations biggest failure on health care reform was public relations. Most people don't realize how far our system has regressed.

USMC - I read your post. I completely agree with bipartisan solutions. Two days ago, I left a voice message for John Boehner, THANKING THE LORD that he will be speaker of the house BUT he needs to cooperate with Obama because Obama's signature is required on legislation. I chastised Boehner for not showing up to Obama's summit.

Then I hear DEMOCRATS freaking out on Republicans.

Another big issue for me is how Obama wants to take from the rich and give to the poor. I call that Robin Hood, not feudalism. Why should it be a choice between giving a Cost of Living Increase for seniors and buying diapers for unwed mothers? As far as I am concerned, the seniors, WHO PAID INTO SOCIAL SECURITY, should be the ones getting the cash NOT unwed mothers.

While I agree that our health care system needs some tweaks, OBAMA AND HIS CREW GAVE IT A COMPLETE OVERHAUL AND I, ALONG WITH MILLIONS OF OTHERS, OBJECT.

How in the world is a person with ZERO business experience, ZERO management experience and ALMOST ZERO political experience MORE qualified to make such a radical decision?

The ONLY reason we gave money to the car manufacturers is because banks stopped lending.

I do not like how Obama operates and I, along with millions of others, will vote HIM out in 2012.

"The ONLY reason we gave money to the car manufacturers is because banks stopped lending."

Not the ONLY reason. GM and Chrysler built inferior products in relation to market competition. In turn, their market share steadily declined. This, coupled with extraordinarily high operating cost caused by the UAW (some may a say socialist concept, but not really) and poor investments within their own portfolio as well as pension portfolios, led to a situation where the companies owed more every month than they were bringing in.

The banks could not lend them more money because of the credit crisis that they helped cause. Even if they could lend the funds, who would lend someone more money, when they already know they can't be repaid without corporate restructuring?

The TARP bailout was a bad option, but the alternative of no TARP would have been to sit back and watch the economy spiral out of control, not knowing how far things will drop. This TARP bailout did stabilize GM, who had a decently successful IPO last week, stabilize the banking system (which is still fundamentally broke), and has slowly helped stabilize the real estate market.

Point is:

There is no overnight fix to these problems. The issues we face today were not caused by Libs or Cons, Democrats or Republicans, Wall St. or Main St. We all played a part in getting us into this mess, so we will all need to help in finding solutions. People should question their authority, and hold them accountable for their competency. Both political leaders, as well as corporate leaders. We should all question things that sound like B.S. cuz they probably are. The biggest fear for governments and big business is an educated public who questions their questionable actions.

Huh? Couric asked palin what she reads? Not very tough question for most people. Palin should have answered truthfully..."reading is hard and it gives me a headache"

Couric asked Palin the easiest questions I've ever heard a candidate asked, she threw her soft balls and Palin struck out. Ridiculous to blame the media for Palin's failures during the election. Palin s

Why did she not answer that question about the bailout satisfactorily? REMEMBER the word puzzle she wove ??- Couric should have pressed harder on that question if nothing else. Was that question condescending too??? Or was it relevant seeing how it was the issue of the day.

Everyone has some form bias or another- but did ANYBODY ever get the chance including the Reileys or Hannitys that Obama, Hilary or Joe Biden were not well informed or did not seem to understand what they were saying? THAT is the real difference.

Because the news changes daily.....it's here one day gone the next.

The real money and interest is in fear.

The news organizations (on both sides, but if I were to rank them, Fox News would be #1) have done a great job at telling people day in and day out that the daily events going on are a part of a system, in their opinions a broken system. A system, that in their opinions is signalling the end to America, will cause up to become down, black to become white, dogs and cats living together, absolute chaos!

That the progression and advancement of certain areas (technology, marriage, abortion, religion) is causing America to change for the worse. As Glenn Beck put it....we need to scrap this and return to the judeo-christian ethics America was founded upon...whatever the hell that means.

And for some simple minded people....they want to believe this. They want to believe that someone out there, knows the answers and is preaching the end of the world as they know it.

Fox News is essentially those 24 hour christian stations that tell us Jesus Christ is returning any day now.....you know what...they've been spouting that Bullsiht for the past 20 years and I have yet to see J to the C. Maybe just like those christian talk shows....Fox News is just blowing hot air up the rear ends of its viewers.

Completely agree with you. Couric is full of it for not standing on neutral ground when reporting the news. It's not just about Palin, it's the biased reporting of current events in general.

Joe,

You need to go back and watch the interview. Couric actually did a good job.

I agree with you on your comment here, though. Just wish you would have used a better example (since there are literally millions of good examples of your point).

How about just reporting the news without trying to slant everything to whatever party is advertising on your network?

Why is it so hard to ask for just the news?

What's partisan about asking what newspapers Palin reads? It can only be interpreted as partisan if you're stupid!

Couric = Beck? You're joking, right?

Oh, please. Couric lobbed her softball questions, which were in no way partisan, or even loaded. She asked her what newspapers she read. Palin didn't even have the sense to say "the Anchorage Daily News." Now, if someone asked ME which newspapers I read, and I knew that, for the job, knowing what was going on in the world was a prerequisite, I'd bluff and say, "The New York Times" or at LEAST the newspaper of my local town.

Maybe Couric should have asked an easier question;

"Why is it so easy for you Palin women to get pregnant in the back of a pickup truck"?

"Why is it when you Palin women tell other women to say NO....you say YES"!

"How many times will it take the Palin women to fail at Abstinence Only before you start using the forum you both have to start educating other girls on "safe sex" and "protected sex"?

Did any of you ever actually watch the Palin Couric interview? The questions were the easiest softballs a journalist could toss. Someone running for class president at a decent high school could answer the questions she was asked ,I know my kids could. I found the fact that the questions were so easy embarrassing any other candidate in memory woul have danced out of the interview relieved that all their preparation had been unnecessary. The only part of the Constitution she actually appears to have any familiarity with is the right to arm bears. She quit as governor ,encouraged racists, has raised poorly educated homophobes as children, failed two ethics examinations and supported a crazy woman in Delaware and a guy who likes to dress up like a Nazi in Ohio but on the positive side she is now a multimillionaire with a kid on TV its bloody white trash heaven.

JKH

Do the math people. Sarah eloped with Todd on August 29,1988 and had Track on April 10, 1989. She either had Track early or Bristol was a lot more like her mother than in looks and gender. But wait that's alright since she conservative but I don't even want to imagine what those same people would have said if Chelsea Clinton had done the same. LMAO

I love reading some of the 'less bright' comments like: President Obama's administration is a 'train wreck' and he has done such a horrible job in the White House. You people dishonor yourselves. At least explain your comment(s), just saying something does not make it true.

President Obama has passed a historic number of pieces of legislation that benefits the American people and will benefit this country in the future as well as the present. Republicans AND Democrats have attempted to pass much of this legislation over the past 50 years........without success.

Republicans hate government because they are so bad at it:

The news media has failed America for several decades now. The news tends to report what people say and omit the more important news of what they actually DID and the outcome of what they actually DID.

Fiscal conservative Ronald Reagan grew the national debt 186.1%. Fiscal conservative George H. W. Bush grew the national debt 53.8%. Fiscal conservative George W. Bush grew the national debt 77.4%. The tax and spend Jimmy Carter grew the national debt 41.3%. The tax and spend Bill Clinton grew the national debt 40.6% (lowest of these 5 former presidents)............Why has the public bought into these bazaar ideas that Republicans know squat about economics and still hold these inaccurate beliefs? Fiscal conservatives...........really?

Sorry, we can't count President Obama's deficit spending. He inherited the deficits and the national debt from you chowder-head Republicans that deregulated everything and sucked $11 trillion of wealth out of the country, destroyed the housing market, collapsed Wall Street and created a severe recession that is only second to the Great Depression. Oh ya, and the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.

Ronald Reagan's inept 'trickle-down' theory has become 'fire-hose up'. Irresponsible tax cuts by republicans has given the U.S. ever increasing deficit spending and has generated a national debt of roughly $13.5 trillion.

The Republican obsession with 'national defense' and the two wars require the U.S. to spend more on national defense each year than all the other countries on the planet spend on national defense COMBINED.

Oh, By the way, all major wars and horrible financial times have been resolved by Democrats........not Republicans. Republicans should stick with corruption and leave the actual thinking to the Democrats.

One last thing about Sarah Palin in 2012..........Run Forest Run!

Nice job. I appreciate an educated comment backed by data that can be researched and proven - something that is missing in the Fox-generated "news."

The sad part is the Republicans don't want to pay any taxes on the money they stole from the taxpayers.

Skyjord, stupid? This coming from a guy who can't even spell his own screen name correctly. I know you are an ABBA groupie! Come correct and admit it now in this public forum!

Well jimmyshark. I guess you are so brilliant that you know how to spell another person's user name. LOL You question another person's intelligence even though you support putting an idiot like Palin in the White House. Not surprising though because it seems like the Republicans have a knack for supporting idiots for office. Bush, Sharron Angle. Christine O'Donnell, Rand Paul, Mitch McConnell, etc. not to mention the desire to blow up buildings and shoot people in church.

Larry, I am actually quite brilliant but I do not believe I said I would vote for the lovely Sarah. I just like to look at her and watch the heat waves come off of my monitor while you loons hit those keys like methed up woodpeckers everytime there is an article about her. I think I do it more for fun than anything else. Now, who mentioned blowing us bridges and shooting people in churches? You need to go down to the park and feed the pigeons lar, you know, knock the stink off of yourself for awhile. If the swedish meatball can question someone's intelligence, well you can bet your butt that I am going to as well. What is up with the shooting people in churches crap? Go easy bro. Go easy.....

I don't know if she can clean up journalism but I do agree that Katie Couric is biased.

Katie Couric should have stayed with the Today Show and smiled all day.

Couric is NOT a hard journalist. Come on - she asked Palin what magazines she reads. Couric NEVER asked any male candidate that question.

Besides that - who cares? As if anyone cares what reporters think in the first place not to mention, I could care less what magazines politicians read.

I realize that so many of you hang on the every word of Beck, Olbermann, Maddow, and others, but they are just opinionated mouth pieces. They just gab all day to fill air time. And if a lot of people listen to them, companies advertise on their program and the network is all happy.

I listen to CBS News Radio pretty much the whole day. Once in awhile, Katie Couric shares a page of her notebook with us. It's nauseating.

SOOO can someone explain to me WHY my comment was collapsed and the OTHER 49 comments? Other than the right wing COWARDS playing their collapsing games?

No, a reporter didn't ask her anything. It was Katie Couric, that is not a reporter.

it could have been santa claus for all I care. When someone asks, what papers do you read and you say, "all of them", what the fcuk answer is that?

If Palin is so great and couric isn't, why was Palin outsmarted by her in the interview. Couric would be a better choice than Palin. Palin doesn't understand anything and her knowledge of basic grade school facts like South Africa being a country is lacking. She doesn't even realize that not contradicting yourself one minute to the next is important. She has no qualifications and isn't intelligent enough to learn. Would you want a presidential candidate that is the victim of "Gothcha" questions? Our country would be the laughing stock of the world if she was elected. Foreign leaders would have zero respect which is not good for anyone, esp. a country. And no, seeing Russia does not qualify you to be commander in cheif. What a retard.

she was doing an inteview. the reason she dosn,t read is because she thinks she knows everything and whats best for everyone she does not represent me as an american.ive got a few like her in my family. she cant fool me i know what shes all about.

Not only that - PALIN THINKS DINASAURS WERE HERE 4000 YEARS AGO!!! She couldn't name a single newspaper, and she thinks dinasaurs were here 4000 years ago. Does that no give one pause as to whether this woman is of sound mind to run the country? Not to mention, Russia is her neighbor. Neighbor folks - as in next door. Right there, friend of hers. Having her little tea party with them. Every time Sarah Palin opens her mouth, the biggest problem of all is, she doesn't speak the truth. To me, that is a serious problem. She didn't finish her term as Governor, so she can't commit to her job at hand. This is not a left or right issue here, liberal or not, democrat vs. republican - this is about NOT EMBARASSING OUR COUNTRY. This is about having someone with at least half a brain in charge. I'd rather have Mickey Mouse at the helm (he at least knows how to run a business) than Sarah Palin. I am very scared where this country is headed if we even entertain the possibility of allowing someone this stupid into the top job of this country. Someone who is hiding from the media. Do you think in the Oval office you can pick and choose who asks you questions? Will she decide she will not answer the voter's questions because we are "unfair" or "unjust" to her, or picking on her? What about heads of other countries? If she can't handle the pressures now, how do we expect Ms. Sensitivity to handle international negotiations? With a shotgun in their eye? A dagger to slice them up when she's finished? This is not reality TV, this is the Presidential role. You don't get do-overs. I cannot believe there is anyone in this country who would hire someone like Sarah Palin to run a corporation, let alone an entire country. Wake up before it's too late - this is like a very bad nightmare.

Six thousand years ago Ms Oakley. If you want to be little miss sure shot you'd better get your facts straight.

Canadian 81! So let me get this straight. Some cannucker from the great white north has an opinion about anything except the great taste of Molson's pale ale? Get the puck out of my zone! Please tell me you are not a french canadian. Do you know how you can tell a french canadian has been in your yard? All of your trash is gone and your dog is pregnant.

jimmyshark - Regardless of who's expressing an opinion about the difficulty of answering the "what papers do you read?" question, or from where they hail, you really think that was a hardball question Katie Couric asked SP? And you're gonna call Annie a liar for 2,000 years. You are missing the whole point, aren't you, Skippy. You're sounding about as bright as SP.

Judging by your level of misdirected anger, appears you would be a candidate for anger management classes or some meds. Just sayin'.

Jester, it wasn't misdirected, it found you. Hi how are ya! Welcome to the neighborhood! Can I show you around? How about a little of aunt May's pumpkin pie? May I take your coat? Wow, what is that fragrance you have on? Essence of Obama...........hmmmm. You sure do apply that liberally don't you! Relax, I'm not mad. Just determined.

too late - Bush Cheney already destroyed it.

Speaking in terms of size, Alaska is the biggest state. Speaking in terms of population, Wyoming is the smallest. Palin was 18 when she was pregnant.

Making stuff up does not make you right. It makes you left.

"Making stuff up does not make you right".................please let Rush, Beck and the rest of the tea baggers aware of this also.

I know. I just typed that out and thought it sounded pretty sweet.

Brian-2692002

Alaska ranks 47th of 50 states, has about 150K more people than 50th place Wyoming and, at fewer than 700K people is barely a moderate sized city in population. The point is that it's a puny state in terms of population. Do you really want to argue the point that the right doesn't make up stuff? Really? Really?

Ooh, and did I mention: 'We're all afraid of her'.

By God- we better be!!

Ohhh Ohhh- and did I mention: anyone who can carry a grudge about such a small matter for so long has Palin has with Couric? Well, there's your presidential material, you betcha.

drive-by-observer

i agree with you: this woman seems very revengeful over small things. look what Palins did with this student who hacked Sarah email. of course it was stupid what he did (and illegal) but ....

But what cooch?

Joe correct.

Idiot ob and his clowns at TSA are screwing up the country, so the liberal talking heads are trying anything they can to take the heat off the dems.

But the dems are just too corrupt/arrogant/sleazy to take advantage of it.

unless you go to ob's old stomping grounds, the democratic machine is well oiled there, so well that they even get dead people to vote......twice

Working out good. You?

Working out great. Obama has brought this nation back from the abyss. God bless our great President Obama!

Gotta say Obama hasn't done me any wrong. I work, I eat, I sleep, I do what I want. Nothing has changed at all for me..Funny, this has always been my life, no matter who was president. You see? It's not about your leader in Washington. It's about you. Although, I gotta say, if You can't outsmart Katie Couric, and you decide you don't want to play ball with your "adversaries", How the hell are you going to deal with Putin or any other world leader, when they dissagree with you? We gonna invade everyone? Our military is awesome, but all armies historically have their limits, Go read about Rome.

Mike - there hasnt been a "far left wing liberal" group in this country in many years. It ended in the 70's. In fact many of your GOP heroes were much more liberal than what you are calling liberal today. Try saying something of value instead of your pathetic little digs. You just come off sounding like an angry fool with no brain.

Having President Obama is far better than having President Bush. It's just too bad that President Obama wasn't elected in 2000 as we probably could have avoided two wars, massive debt, and a country in shambles!

working out PERFECT!!!

Having President Obama is far better than having President Bush. It's just too bad that President Obama wasn't elected in 2000 as we probably could have avoided two wars, massive debt, and a country in shambles!

I forgot. President Obama must have some superhuman ability to prevent all terrorist attacks that ever occurred. Ever. My bad.

Fine so far.. I have no complaints, nor do any of my "left-wing" friends. He's doing the job we put him into office to do. You can't clean up 8 years of total incomptence in 2 years, in case you haven't noticed.

"we had no domestic attacks under Bush" according to Former NY Mayor Rudy Guiliani. Anyone remember one...OH YEAH 9/11. Under Bush's watch not Obama's! and COMBAT troops are OUT of Iraq. Did it in two years and the Bush exit strategy, oh yeah that's right HE DIDN"T HAVE ONE!!!

Wow all the liberal wackos are out tonight.

They are actually praising ob.

That's right, commonsensedude. That's because we all have common sense. Since Obama became President I have found a full-time job and am able to keep my 21-year-old son on my insurance while he goes to school. I think the man is doing a fine job. Anyone who thinks Palin would be better is not paying any attention to the facts. Use some of that common sense you keep going on about.

Another_OldGuy,

The absolute truth,there have been damn few far left democrats since the mid 70s. The Dems have become mostly moderates willing to compromise while the GOP has gone from fiscal Conservatism in varying degree and Social Moderation to wild eyed radicals. Since Nixons successful Southern Strategy the GOP has cobbled together a constituency with no intellectual gravitas from a who-s Who list of hate and special interest groups. For an idea of GOP stategy on exploiting racism read Lee Atwaters interview with Professor Alexander Lamis of Case Western. The same strategy has been employed for Homophobes, No Nothings, anti womens rights, anti-intellectualism, anti-semitism, anti-choice, gun nuts and a host of others.

There were radicals of every stripe in the 50s 60s and 70s most willing to take a billyclub to the head or a fire hose in the chest. Trust me ACORN is not a radical group Abby Hoffman was a radical not some get out the vote group.

JKH

So I guess referring to Obama's health care plan as "death panels" was truthful...

If she can't answer simple questions then she can't handle the complex issues we are facing...why is this so hard for people to understand? Why does this clown even get airtime??

Obama, Romney or one of the other front runners? Hell, what about Benjamin Netanyau, or Putin or Sarkozy or any of the other world leaders? My God- how can people even think aobut supportting this damned-dumb, petty, vidicitive dim wit??

She will play girlie if you know what I mean

according to the polls the majority of her supporters are men not women. so.....you must be right Mboma

Mboma, IMO that is exactly what she does now! If you ever watch her giving a speech, you'll see what I mean. Turn the sound off, and you'll see an adult acting like a teenage beauty queen with her winks, eyebrow raising, smirks, and resting her chin on her hand which is supported by a bent elbow on the podium. That woman hasn't made it across the line from teenager to adult woman when it comes to using brain power to lead people to her position on an issue. Her looks and sex appeal have gotten her to where she is today but that will fade and she'll be left with continuing to make a fool out of herself whenever she tries to discuss anything of a serious nature.

'clean up' journalism

mmmmmm

it sounds like Communism, Fascism, Totalitarianism

How dare Katie Couric ask Sarah Palin what she reads!!! You Betcha Sarah might have to make something up really, really fast..... Like everything!

- That even tells us a bit about her supporters, Jock

You so Terarted.

"There are far more important issues than Sarah Palin."

Yeah, like do you plant the radishes closer to the time you plant the spinnach, or the broccoli?

Broccoli, in my opinion.
