Gee, a list of ten famous quitters...

1. Copernicus "quit" believing the sun rotated around the earth.

2. The American Revolutionaries "quit" being subject to England.

3. Abraham Lincoln helped America "quit" practicing slavery.

4. Thomas Edison "quit" using the oil lamp.

5. The moon landers "quit" being stuck on the earth.

6. Bill Gates "quit" using the typewriter (and also quit Harvard).

7. Michael Jordan "quit" the Tarheels (and the Bulls, and then came back)

8. Ronald Reagan "quit" acting.

9. Russia "quit" the Soviet Union.

10. Carly Fiorina "quit" having cancer.

Not a single one is a truthful "quit". Pretty pathetic attempt to delegitimize the issue but it actually shows that this is a real issue and for many, many Americans a deal killer.

Not a single one is a truthful "quit".

Although it was parenthetical, Gates quitting Harvard is one. Limbaugh quitting college after only one year, as well.

Reagan quit a Communist front group in Hollywood when he found out what it was (he and some other actor/actress were needed to give it credibility, it folded after they quit). Palin herself quit the oil board she was on so she could go after them.

This is not about who gets the next VP spot at IBM. At this level, it is not about resume. She made the best possible decision for her state, herself and her country under the circumstances.

1.Obama quit his senate job
2.Biden quit his senate job
3.Clinton quit her senate job
4.huntsman quit his Governor job
5. Napolitano quit her Governor job
6. rahm quit his congress job
7. Kathleen Sebelius quit her governorship job
8. Michelle Obama quit her taxpayer financed medical field job
9. Newt quit his congress job
10. Steven Chu quit his job as a professor.

the list is endless. People quit their jobs for many reasons. Some to move up in the world, some to avoid going into bankruptcy, some just to get away form it all. It is important if someone quits or not. what is important is what they do after they quit.
