I don't "dislike" Obama, he seems like a really nice guy. Of course he isn't as warm and fuzzy as W was and W was the worst US pres in modern US history (he knocked Carter right off that pedestal) I just don't think Obama has the experience or qualifications to be pres......which is becoming obvious. Neither does Palin. Between the two I think Palin is slightly less unqualified
because at least she has experience as an administrator and Obama's only experience is campaigning.

Having experience at it and being good at it are two different things. There were so many petty squabbles going on when she was administering the state and Wasilla.

This is true but Obama isn't doing so good either. It really depends on the people the pres hires to do his job for him.

e. Obama decided to process the prisoners in Guantanamo through civilian courts, instead of military courts, and it has turned the whole thing into a big mess
A. I give you that one
B. because of the bailouts
C. at least Obama is winding them down
d. Show me proof the majority didn't want it. Most polls prove the majority
does want it.
e. What mess? you do know that Bush sent more prisoners to federal court
than were prosecuted by the military? And that the military tribunals
have a poor record of prosecutions.

Sorry but the media loves her. They show her face everyday. She has screwed everything up hersef. Only her Tea Party subjects like their Queen.

You are delusional. Even the right wing (Fox) media isn't crazy about her. The left wing (all the rest) media foam at the mouth at the mention of her name. Then you have people like letterman and his peers making jokes about her. No pres can survive that night after night no matter how popular they are with voters. Ask Jerry Ford......well no not him, he's dead.

The media does not love her in the sense that they are pro-Palin, what they love is the attention she gets, positive and negative. It helps their ratings.

I don't think there is a single thing anyone would be happy about right now due to the state of the economy, short of sending everyone a $1 million dollar check and passing on the cost to a country we don't like.

Are the posters on here from Alaska? Too bad it's such a beautiful state. Just not very friendly I would guess.
