All respect to Republican cruisetalkers

If she cannot take the heat of being governor of a state with 500,000 people how can she be a heatbeat away from leader of the free world?

Now that the campaign is over, it has come out that she was difficult on the campaign trail, and despite lack of experience, does not have the intellect or temperment to be POTUS, hey neither do I

If she is showing us this erratic behavior while GOV. of Alaska she is going to be erratic in the white house. (but shell never make it).

I saw her news conference today and she doesnt make ANY sense at ALL! Shes only trying to run in 2012 but Romney or Huckabee or another old white guy will beat her to the nomination.

I was watching CNN and they said she has some probes and investigations involving some things shes done in office.That may be a reason why she left also.
Sarah Palin is too stupid for her own good. She needs to stay in Alaska and build up her resu'me then run for president. Even then I wouldnt vote for her!
I think Barack Obama is doing a great job in office he has alot on his plate and people are demeanding things from every corner of the country so give em' some time its only been 169 days.

So what is next for Palin? Perhaps she is eying the RNC Chair position? The Republicans do love her for some reason, and they need a new leader and new direction. They are in a shambles right now.

So my prediction unfortunately, is that we will be seeing far more of Ms. Palin. God help us!

I'm politically conservative and a member of the media....no I don't work for FOX but rather CNN. Believe it or not I even do pledge drives for PBS.

It takes more than 4 months. Heck, it took Bush years to drive this country into the ground.

Wouldn't it be nice if 8+ years of failures could be reversed in five months? That would take a miracle worker and not a President. I don't blame Bush completely for this mess we are in, but he can certainly take credit for a good majority of it.

It's going to take time to work our way out of this mess, and that would apply no matter who was in office. I have to wonder if we would be as far along as we are with McCain in office? Highly doubtful since in all likelihood his administration would be an extension of the Bush policies.

I have also never called anyone in public office "stupid" or an "idiot".

Both sides are equally to blame. Bush could never say no to increased spending and the greedy Republican and Dem lawmakers all hoped onto the gravy train. For some reason he thought he could win friends across the aisle by throwing money and we will be paying the price for years.

President Obama is of course no better at running us into the ground. He may actually do it even faster 'Progressive' politics don't work either. Just come to California and look at the mess we're in and were in BEFORE the the current economic downturn. Most people want 'free stuff' from the government, they just don't want to pay for it.

I think progressive politics can work, and has been successful in the past. Other countries have certainly proven this and even the US on occasion. Unfortunately there is a lot of greed in the US and the good ole boys club is alive and well. It's hard to break a country of old habits and poor behaviors, but Obama is trying to do just that. It won't happen overnight and he may not even be successful, but he is trying and it's better then sticking with the same course we were on the past eight years. That got us nowhere but in the mess we are currently in.

Regarding California, the state has a lot of dynamics that are unique. I don't think it's quite reasonable to proclaim progressive politics can't work just because of the current situation in California.

I also don't agree both sides are equally to blame. Yes, both sides are at fault, but one side can certainly take more of the responsibility for the last eight years.

Sadly we have been the largest testing ground for Progessive politics in the States and it has failed-miserably. Here in California the unions (even though union workers are a small percentage of the overall workforce) and assorted special interests run the show. My states use to be well-run when there were fiscally conservative politicians (of both parties) in charge. Even the left-leaning LA Times has written in their OpEd section requesting that fiscally conservative politicians to please return to Sacramanto. As the old saying goes 'So goes California, goes the nation'. If so, the nation is fuc***

One party rule w/no checks and balances does'nt work. It did'nt work under Bush and it certainly won't work w/the current administration. I can't wait for the press to look at the current administration and actually question what they are doing. They certainly and correctly questioned the Bush Administration and should question the current one. Hopefully that day will come sooner rather than later.

Spending money that can't EVER be paid back is scary.

I don't think the nation always follows California, especially when it comes to politics. The nation as a whole doesn't have quite the same issues that CA must deal with.

I suppose the mess you're in is what results from electing a Swedish born actor/body builder as Governor.

As for the news media not questioning Obama, exactly what news media are you listening to? Turn on Fox or America Right at any given moment and you will hear plenty of Obama bashing and questioning of policies.
