Reagan was stiff and haltingly inarticulate in press conferences and in interviews. He would have been mocked and ridiculed in today’s 24 hour media.
Long answers are most often meant to obfuscate an issue.
The gender is wrong, but this does describe our President.
It’s really sad. We have come to the place in our country’s history where the most important factor in considering a presidential candidate is simply whether his/her heart’s in the right place, as it were. Palin loves this country. She is teachable, and she has enough sense to find advisors who love the country more than they love their own career. In a different era, I might wish for someone who seems more conversant with the issues, but not right now, not at this time when so many Dems want to “transform the system.” Like Beck, I just won’t a President who won’t lie to me.
Palin’s experience as governor suggets that she “won’t blink” when things get stressful, like Obama does when his teleprompter malfunctions. Of all the people I have heard, she is the one who I think is least likely to drink from the Potomac, and would remain an “outsider” at heart.
Typical left wing broom flyer who lives in the ad hominem pig sty.
“Most of our problems today need a conservative solution that isn’t heavy on detail.”
Well, then Sarah is your man.
All I can say is in 2012, I “hopey” we don’t “changey” to this embarrassing woman.
“Opinion: The author just lost her 15 moments of fame with that unprofessional, petulant and catty bottom line.”
Yes, anyone who would make a statement like that is definitely unprofessional, petulant and catty.
Sorry! Posted to wrong thread!!
And No, Sarah did not admit to not being up on the issues in her interview with Crissy Wallace, as some have stated she said.
Her answer was, hell yes, I know more than I did 2 years ago. She went on to say that she was focused more on issue of Alaska when she was at first approached to being the VP nominee, but at no time did she say that she was not up on the issues. She said she knows more than she did 2 years ago, well, I hope we all do!
I think Sarah should hold press conferences, instead of going on Today and or Meet the Press. She could hold weekly press conferences when/if she runs for President. Take any and all questions on her terms etc, and I think she would be great.

I will wait and see what candidates come forth, especially which candidate the T.E.A. Party Movement endorses.
