Palin has all of those attributes..
In two years, Obama will never be heard from again, while Sarah is just getting started and will be a huge factor in politics for many years to come...
Rejoice, she walks with us.....
What makes you think Obama has no common sense?
And what makes you think Palin has common sense, back bone and leadership attributes?

Touche. Some of the posters here obviously have never stepped foot inside college, much less grad school. So they are not aware that letters of recommendation are par for the course in the admissions process. Then these same posters display their ignorance on CD, blathering about things they know little about.

When I went to grad school there were no required letters of recommendation needed. It was a state school. I guess at private schools and colleges the admission requirements might be more strenuous.

Why do you assume CD-ers are ignorant and blathering. Elitist.

Did President Obama use the teleprompter to pardon the turkey?

Surely if his grades and academic accomplishments were the basis for his admittance, then they would be public for all to see. Instead they are hidden from public view. Reckon why?
Reposting because apparently it wasn't a short enough snippet. The key portion is that Obama finished at the top of his Harvard Class.

The Real Obama | The Weekly Standard

He graduated Harvard magna c*m laude. This was one honor you unquestionably had to earn. It's a very impressive feat. Back in Obama's days at Harvard, more than 50 percent of the class graduated c*m laude, a fact that made graduating "with honors" a meaningless accomplishment. But graduating magna was a different kettle of fish. Barack Obama graduated right near the top of his law school class.

I've seen both in action. Sarah is a super star. Obama is corrupt, a socialist, a spineless loser who takes all of his order from George Soros. Even Soros is thinking of dumping him in 2012, and what Soros says, happens. He is the leader of the Democratic, socialist party, and his word is law.
Obama is nothing more than the pretty face Soros chose to deliver his message, which he hasn't been very successful at. He isn't even a good crook...!
I would have thought all of you would see him for what he is, but then none of Bernie Madoff's victims figured him out until they were all broke.
You people have been warned over and over again, but chose to ignore the warnings, so you get what you deserve. What you got, and what you deserved is Obama and all of his corruption...
Love him while you can, he won't be around long...

Sarah Palin doesn't know which Korea to support.

The correct word is STRINGENT, not "strenuous". You were saying you went to grad school?
