So the fact that Obama didn't know either makes him stupid too?
He's talked about it unprompted on numerous occasions, including in debates and speeches.
On War & Peace: Al Qaida is stronger than before thanks to the Bush doctrine
"Part of the reason that we neglected Afghanistan, part of the reason that we didn't go after bin Laden as aggressively as we should have is we were distracted by a war of choice. That's the flaw of the Bush doctrine. It wasn't that he went after those who attacked America. It was that he went after those who didn't. As a consequence, we have been bogged down, paid extraordinary--an extraordinary price in blood and treasure, and we have fanned the anti- American sentiment that actually makes it more difficult for us to act in Pakistan. It is absolutely true that we have to, as much as possible, get Pakistan's agreement before we act. And that's always going to be the case. But we have to make sure that we do not hesitate to act when it comes to Al Qaida. Because they are currently stronger than they were at any time since 2001, partly because we took our eye off the ball."

Well Obama gets a pass because all he has to say is that even though he doesn't know, it still sucks. Palin has to tow the line and agree like a good little hairsprayed lipsticked pitbull.
To say that nobody cares about the Bush Doctrine is ludicrous. Do you not think the American people care about how our President decides to take us to war? Do you think Americans care about whether we justify another Iraq? Do you think they care whether or not we invade Iran, or Russia?
Granted, most people probably do not know the term by name, but a potential President sure as hell should. Bush fundamentally changed the principles upon which we take this country into a war. Specifically he justified a preemptive war - a very dangerous policy change that has effected every American. And the potential next VP should know a little something about it.
2 out of five people can't find Iraq on a globe.
1 out of five don't know how many senators are in congress.
Most people couldn't care less about the Bush doctrine, it's not law.

5 out of 5 people know we went to war with Iraq.
Our next VP should know the principles upon which that war was justified. Period. We shouldn't elect the average Jane to be VP/potential POTUS. We should elect someone who is knowledgeable and competent, like Joe Biden.
The funniest thing is towards the end of the interview she was talking real slow and sounded like a 5 year old trying to read.
Give her a break, that little gnome in her hair was tired! Remember Ratatouille, rat in the chef hat pulling hair telling the guy what to do? I have that going through my head right now.
