They all use speaking aids whether paper or electronic matters little

If Sarah Palinhad spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take in a play in NYC, would you have approved? Any time any POTUS goes anywhere the SS is there and it costs money. Do you think the golf trips were free?

If Sarah Palin had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?
If the alternative was to allow the company to go belly up during this economy yes.
If Sarah Palin had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?
It was a joke with out intent
If Sarah Palin had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given her a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?
Would not have cared as he/she would not have picked them out anyway. Think presidential aid who screwed up. Not like a head of state cannot afford their own gifts
If Sarah Palin had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of her speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?
See above
If Sarah Palin had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia , would you have approved?
I would care about as much when Bush kised the Saudi guy and then held hands with him as they walked through the ranch after his countries stench was all over the 9/11 attacks
If Sarah Palin had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip? Yep, just like when Quayle lamented he could not speak Latin while down in Latin America. Funny but what ever.

If Sarah Palin had filled her cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you have approved? Nope.

If Sarah Palin had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment? Yep.

If Sarah Palin had mis-spelled the word "advice" would you have hammered her for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoe as proof of what a dunce she is? Never heard that one. Was it in front of school kids?

If Sarah Palin had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded she's a hypocrite? How else was he supposed to get there? It was probably more as the second AF1 goes where ever the actual AF1 goes plus all the other aircraft and personal and preplanned flights....

If Sarah Palin's administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11? What so no plan can ever do fly overs of NYC again. As if it wee announced people would have actually paid attention ot the announcement.

If Sarah Palin had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans , would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence? What floods? I do not remember anything flooding on the scale even close to LA. What did I miss.

If Sarah Palin had created the position 32 or more Czars who report directly to her, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America , would you have approved? As I recall that is not quite what is happening but I'll have to get back to you on that one.

If Sarah Palin had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though she had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved? Nope but I like the balls for going for it.

If Sarah Palin had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved? Nope and I did not like it when Bush or Reagan did it either.

If Sarah Palin had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved? See above

If Sarah Palin had spent more than all the Presidents combined since George Washington, would you have approved? Seriously?

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 10 months -- so you'll have 3 years and 2 months to come up with an answer.

And just think, Obama is a leap above Biden......
