Palin to resign

[SmootSmack]

Actually truth is Tina Fey is going on maternity leave...so Palin will be filling in on 30 Rock.

I think, though, this might be a case of Occam's Razor here. She quit just 'cause

No, and so far every thing they have done has failed and has cost the tax payers a bunch of money.

I mean the simple fact this person is taken serious by anyone just says how low we've sunk. A vice-presidential candidate accuses a presidential candidate of conspiring w/ terrorists. The same VP candidate can't name more than one supreme court case or a single book/periodical she reads regularly. Again, it just leaves me speechless that Americans, who have access to all kinds of education, news and discussion could take Palin serious...

Well thanks for that analysis. Maybe I'll take this up in another thread on another day.

Like SS said its not worth the time. You will say how great Obama is doing then I'll point out the unemployment, housing, stimulas not working, and other things and I'll blame Obama and you will blame Bush. So its done in a few words.

Well seven months into this admin, I wouldn't label anything a triumph. I wouldn't do it a year from now either.

Things he's done well, in my opinion. I could start with his visit to Russia today. Significant progress in the area of nuclear warheads. Significant. Anytime we get Russia to agree to reduce their nukes, along with ours, by a third that's a big deal. There were a few other good things that resulted in his visit to Russia. He's made some good and long overdue moves regarding Cuba too. Ditto the tone he's struck overall internationally.

In terms of domestic spending, which is one of the biggest sticking points by those on the right and some on the left quite frankly, we'll see. One thing's for sure, had McCain taken office, he would have taken similiar action. It may not have had the word "stimulus", but he would have taken similiar action. Probably to the tune of around $500 billion, instead of Obama's Neimen Maurcus taste of $787 billion.

If healthcare gets passed this year, no matter what version, I would most definitely chalk that up as a triumph.

Palin done bagged herself, forgot to gag herself, and managed to toss herself in the river. Have a safe trip down the waterfall Ms. Palin because there's no getting up from this fall.

While as an American he is my President as well and I NEED him to be successful, I would really like to see some tangible results to the promises made. As you point out perhaps 7 months is early.

Also you really have to keep the economy and the hand he was unfortunately dealt. I doubt McCain would have been doing significantly better in the current situation we are in.

Either way 2012 should be competitive.

Well the good news is unemployment is going up and the stock market is going down. Ops, sorry I was trying to find something I thought he did well. I'll keep trying 12th.

It's tough when your dealt a shit sandwich and asked to make a gourmet meal out of it, in a matter of months no less as opposed to the years it took to get to the shit sandwich state of affairs.
