One thing is clear Governor Palin Is Everything Øbama Is Not: Our Next President. Governor Palin reiterated her message of peace through strength & quoted her primogenitor, Ronald Reagan, saying "freedom is never more than a generation away from extinction," and that we must fight to remain free. She thanked those present for their service and encouraged more Americans to do the same.
What is most amazing about Governor Palin is the manner in which she comports herself & interacts with everyone: classic Transformational Leadership in action. Governor Palin also promoted three Army National soldiers from the 1st Battalion, 207th Aviation Regiment. on June 26, 2009 at Camp Bondsteel. Staff Sergeant Bryant Cox, from Wasilla, was promoted to Sergeant First Class, Sergeant Douglas Montini, from Fairbanks, was promoted to Staff Sergeant, and Sergeant Keith Nosbish, from Anchorage, was promoted to Staff Sergeant.
She carries her own bag, too.
Anyone notice, as she was meeting the troops, she introduced herself in this manner — “Hi, I’m Sarah.”
Contrast that with Senaturd Babs Boxer last week, chastising a Brig. Gen. about not calling her “Senator.”
Says volumes, doesn’t it? Sarah is exponentially a greater leader (and woman) than Boxer could ever hope to be.
Governor Palin is the real deal and a classy woman. She’s not just “everything” that 0-one-who-must-be-obeyed is not. She’s everything women Democrats in Congress bemoan because they secretly wish they could be like her. Where she is confident, they are shrill. Where she is kind, they are whiny. Where she thinks of others, they are selfish. Where they look for a photo op, she doesn’t even bring a photographer with her. Where they have tens of thousands of photos with sour faces, I don’t think there’s even one of Governor Palin looking sour or mean or shrill or whiny or self-absorbed or narcissistic.
Governor Palin is happy with who she is and is secure in her place as wife, mother, grandmother and Governor (and I’ll bet in that order). Democrat women in Congress don’t seem to be happy with their position or with themselves.
Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann in 2012 and Liz Cheney as Secretary of State. PS, how about Jon Voight as GOP Chair?
Bachmann is a great conservative but no way is she VP material. She can be like Tancredo sometimes. The key is to promoting conservatism without sounding shrill about it. Palin does a good job at this.
