Palin-Bachmann in 2012!

Great! What where they?

How about actually, successfully, running a state, and a city before that?

How about rooting out corruption in her own party?

How about bringing together the government of Canada, the Alaskan oil companies, and the people of her state in an agreement that helps bring much-needed energy to the rest of the country?

Contrast that with Obama, whose only attempt to run anything (the Annenberg Challenge) wasted $100 million and accomplished nothing. Which is why most of us here weren’t surprised that he’s now wasting trillions and still accomplishing nothing.

And can anyone picture Obama trying to stop corruption in the Chicago Democrats? The very thought is laughable.

We see how well his diplomatic skills are working, too. The EU gave him the finger when he laid out his economic plans and asked for help in Afghanistan. He sends Geithner to China to explain his plans and they openly laugh in his face. The ayatollahs responded to his olive branch by redoubling their efforts to become a nuclear power. And he’s doing so well in reducing tensions with North Korea, isn’t he?

(Only then I’ll worry about comparisons with Obama)

No you won’t. In 2012, unemployment could be at 20%, gas costing $10 a gallon, inflation through the roof, the Taliban back in charge of Afghanistan, and Iran openly providing al Qaeda with nukes, and you’d still mindlessly vote for Obama. You made excuses for every one of Obama’s shortcomings last year, and I’ll be very surprised if you don’t do it again.

Oh come on folks….Obama is the greatest community organizer in the history of mankind….he has saved the inner cities……he has been the champion on the under trodden by this valiant present votes…with a single word he can mesmerize the masses and send shivers up the legs of some reporters…man that has to be some great accomplishment doncha think?

Translation: “I cannot in any way defend Obama’s qualifications, or lack thereof, compared to Palin’s”

Thanks for playing “Liberal Doubletalk”!!!

It devolves because you Alchemist usually leave out something or are in error in some fashion. Saying She is “better than Obama” is proving to be not much of an accomplishment, and I wouldn’t really use that as a 2012 slogan. Which is also a mischaracterization of what I was saying. But I don’t really expect much from you Alchemist. – Lorica

Hell according to Wikipedia she is more popular than Barack Obama.

A poll taken in May 2009 showed Palin’s popularity among Alaskan’s was at 54% positive and 41.6% negative.[67]

I can’t hardly wait until 2012 when she can finally become our President. – Lorica

As this devolves into our typical argument, I just wanted to remind you that Palin has to survive the republican primary first. Saying her track record is

“better than Obama”

is not going to help her very much in those debates. She’s got 3 years to prove she’s the best republican in the debate. (Only then I’ll worry about comparisons with Obama)

Re-negotiated the oil leases so the citizens of Alaska were given more for their natural resources. Which, she did without help from the old boys club. Which in an of itself is far more than anything Barack has done since he was elected to the US Senate in 2004. Seems to me that Sarah had more and better things in her 2 years of being a Gov. than Barack did in his 4 years in the Senate. Which we now see this serious lack of inexperience screwing up our country. Thanks Again lefties. – Lorica

Alchemist, your obviously and obsessively incomplete short list are still more than the “Present” votes of the Chicago Machiner. When are you going to admit the guy is not only clueless, he’s dangerously so?

Palin had a better track record of accomplishments a year ago than Obama does even now, and that made no difference to alchemist and the rest of the left.

Great! What where they?

I’ve got:
Bridge to Nowhere
Governor of Alaska
Unfinished pipeline

GWR, I didn’t say His Hollowness had no qualifications. Here’s both the short and the long list: 1) he’s a great speaker (provided he has a teleprompter) and 2) he knows, understands and practices Chicago and Illinois Machine politics.

Heck, with qualifications like that, who needs real administrative experience? Obviously, about 52% of those who voted in the last election didn’t think any more was necessary!
