Palin Is Ready? Please.

CBS EXCLUSIVE - CBS just released an unaired portion of the Sarah Palin interview where she talks about the state of our education system.

Fareed, you are a smart guy and I enjoyed your book, The Post-American World, even though the title of your book is contradicted by its content. I have sent copies of your columns to friends, even though some of your conclusions seemed wrongheaded to me, because your essays offered unique insights. Given your milieu, your support of some of Bush???s recent actions is brave. On Sarah, you just don???t get it.
Your idea that, ???Sarah Palin is utterly unqualified to be vice president,??? because she gave a ???nonsense??? answer to one of Couric???s questions is wrong. First of all, you don???t seem to understand her answer, because you have mis-punctuated it. In conversational English most people don???t speak in complete sentences and they occasionally throw in a non sequiturs. You have run all of her sentences together in a way that doesn???t make sense. Because I understand idiomatic English, I understood her answer. Let me help you out. The bailout, which most Americans don???t like, will ultimately help Americans with health care, housing, gas and groceries, because inorder for Americans to be able to afford these things, the system has to work properly. She then went on to talk about the positive effects of foreign trade. No biggy.
Fareed, you are probably working too hard. Take the day off. Go to a football game. Get a brat and a brewsky and talk to some real Americans. Believe me; it will help you a lot more than a month of talking to your colleagues at Foreign Affairs.

I used to think you were fairly objective in most of your critiques but it seems that you, along with the rest of the liberal media herd, prefer to attack Palin on her perceived weaknesses as a Vice Presidential candidate yet ignore the GLARING similarities of Barrack Obama. It's fairly obvious when one looks at Obama's and Palin's experience that they are generally just as qualified or unqualified to run for high office. The only difference is that you seem to be giving an unqualified PASS to Obama for President and focusing your bias toward Palin's candidacy for Vice-President. I am embarrassed for you and your lack of journalistic integrity.

P.S. You might want to compare how Obama has been running for President for the past two years and how Palin has been running for Vice-President for the past month.

P.S.S. I wonder if you have the sack to post this with your response.

Respectfully,

For what is worth I would love you to comment this:
- On their first major campaign meeting Joe Biden introduced Barack Obama as Barack America. Obama was not too late to make his own gaffe: Calling Biden the next President of the United States.
Question Fareed; Where were you?! And your colleges?
Since then there has been a lot of other gaffes from that duo, not the mention Bidens latest priceless jam: Confusing the presidency of Hoover and Roosevelt, while simultaneously stating that there was television in the 1920:s. Of what I understand Joe Biden has been a member of the senate since the early 1970:s Still he is capable of delivering gaffes on a scale far brighter than Pelin ??? right smack into Youtube, where he already is some-kind of a laughing stock. Check it out, if you don???t believe me!
So here comes question number 2 Fareed: Do you think Biden is capable to be vice-President? And what happens if Obama gets the full JFK treatment, all the way right to the cemetery. Remember, the guy is as hatred as he is loved, - being one of the most controversial presidential candidates. IS Joe Biden ready to be President? What do you think Fareed?

Palin is an example of McCain's compulsive gambling problem. Read the NYTimes front page from this last Sunday (9/29). This is from another source:

Michael Scherer and Michael Weisskopf are very delicate in their phrasing, but they appear to be reporting that John McCain has a serious gambling problem:

In the past decade, he has played on Mississippi riverboats, on Indian land, in Caribbean craps pits and along the length of the Las Vegas Strip. Back in 2005 he joined a group of journalists at a magazine-industry conference in Puerto Rico, offering betting strategy on request. "Enjoying craps opens up a window on a central thread constant in John's life," says John Weaver, McCain's former chief strategist, who followed him to many a casino. "Taking a chance, playing against the odds." Aides say McCain tends to play for a few thousand dollars at a time and avoids taking markers, or loans, from the casinos, which he has helped regulate in Congress.
The McCains own eleven houses and spent over $200,000 on "household staff" in 2007 so I suppose he can afford tens of thousands of dollars in gambling losses every year. At the same time, you wouldn't want someone to enjoy "playing against the odds" with the country's public policy. The fact that McCain seems to think there's some kind of "betting strategy" that can turn craps into a winning game also raises some questions about his math.

Your commentary is hysterical hyperpole. What you and your democRAT puppet masters should be asking yourselves is the following:

How is Hussein Obama qualified to be POTUS?
How is Hussein Obama qualified to be a US senator?
How is Hussein Obama qualified to be a state senator?
How is Hussein Obama qualifed to be a dog-catcher, for that matter?

Focus on the top of the demcoRat ticket, if you're intellectually honest enough to do so. Palin is decidedly more qualified for POTUS than Hussein Obama is for dog-catcher. In fact, I'll go one better...Joe Biden, the dumbest man in the senate, is more qualified for POTUS than Hussein Obama.

Landslide coming for McCain/Palin in less that 40 days.

Biased reporting? This is an editorial you morons, of course it is biased.

Maybe if you actually read the news you would know that...

Perhaps you should apply the same standard to Obama. He's not ready to lead this country and you know it.

This sort of name calling, biased, reporting is exactly why we do not subscribe to Newseek. What sort of snobby intellect does it take to run the country?

perhaps her fumbling is intentional so that she is guaranteed to overdeliver in a debate? this is the gwb model. if she was just a pretty face, mccain could have just picked anyone from http://www.womenwholooklikesarahpalin.com LOL!

the country and its health is more important than winning an election " at all costs".
Mccain lost my vote.

The woman has had three weeks that she has delt with national issues. I doubt that she's the best for the job, and she's just as bad off the teleprompter as Obama is, but she is far from horrible. McCain should have made a better choice, but then again... we are electing a president, not a vice president. When it comes down to it, it's McCain versus Obama.

the greatest problem with palin is that she talks nonsense with confident. i don't think she can be a vp. that tells you how poor mccain's judgement is. it is a scarery thing to think that palin can be a vp in any country, not to talk of america.
i lack word t decribe her. i didn't someone with a degree can be that dull. she talk like someone who had never been to high school.
this is not about a party, it 's about a country, she actually needs to go back to alaska and talk care of her children. no wonder she'sso comfortable with a husband who had never been in college.
.
she is not even fix to be a governor.
