Hehehehehe. She sounds more like Theodore Roosevelt. Her record is very similar to his also. Sounds like Charlie had all he could handle. Go Sarah.

Everyone think that if the whole interview is like this, the Dimmowits are gonna need a bigtime change of underwear?

sniff sniff - Keith Olbermann - there is a smell coming from your direction...
Just matter of fact - "We must not blink" - Margaret Thatcher will smile if she hears this

No "ahhs, and "umms" and "ehhs". Barry seems unsure of his positions in an interview and he needs the interviewer to helpfully correct him when he makes a gaffe. If the Left thought she'd be a disaster, they're deeply saddened!

We must not blink, Charlie.

No time to go wobbly, George.

The Palin Interview

September 11, 2008 5:01 PM

Charlie Gibson has just finished his first interview with Sarah Palin. It’s a global tour — Iraq and Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan, Georgia and Russia, and America’s place in the world. For all of you who were concerned — Charlie asked plenty of follow-ups. There were also questions about her general qualifications to be Vice President. Or Commander-In-Chief. Here are a couple of excerpts. Much more on World News this evening.

GIBSON: Governor, let me start by asking you a question that I asked John McCain about you, and it is really the central question. Can you look the country in the eye and say “I have the experience and I have the ability to be not just vice president, but perhaps president of the United States of America?”

PALIN: I do, Charlie, and on January 20, when John McCain and I are sworn in, if we are so privileged to be elected to serve this country, we’ll be ready. I’m ready.

GIBSON: And you didn’t say to yourself, “Am I experienced enough? Am I ready? Do I know enough about international affairs? Do I — will I feel comfortable enough on the national stage to do this?”

PALIN: I didn’t hesitate, no.

GIBSON: Didn’t that take some hubris?

PALIN: I — I answered him yes because I have the confidence in that readiness and knowing that you can’t blink, you have to be wired in a way of being so committed to the mission, the mission that we’re on, reform of this country and victory in the war, you can’t blink. So I didn’t blink then even when asked to run as his running mate.

****************************

GIBSON: You said recently, in your old church, “Our national leaders are sending U.S. soldiers on a task that is from God.” Are we fighting a holy war?

PALIN: You know, I don’t know if that was my exact quote.

GIBSON: Exact words.

PALIN: But the reference there is a repeat of Abraham Lincoln’s words when he said — first, he suggested never presume to know what God’s will is, and I would never presume to know God’s will or to speak God’s words. But what Abraham Lincoln had said, and that’s a repeat in my comments, was let us not pray that God is on our side in a war or any other time, but let us pray that we are on God’s side. That’s what that comment was all about, Charlie.

GIBSON: I take your point about Lincoln’s words, but you went on and said, “There is a plan and it is God’s plan.”

PALIN: I believe that there is a plan for this world and that plan for this world is for good. I believe that there is great hope and great potential for every country to be able to live and be protected with inalienable rights that I believe are God-given, Charlie, and I believe that those are the rights to life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That, in my world view, is a grand — the grand plan.

GIBSON: But then are you sending your son on a task that is from God?

PALIN: I don’t know if the task is from God, Charlie. What I know is that my son has made a decision. I am so proud of his independent and strong decision he has made, what he decided to do and serving for the right reasons and serving something greater than himself and not choosing a real easy path where he could be more comfortable and certainly safer.

What I love is by the media whining and moaning about her not being available (to them) they’ve ensured an even bigger audience for her tomorrow night.

Nobama on the Bush Doctrine:

Well, Charlie, we should sit down with our adversaries -— we must talk -— we must have dialogue -— we must be very carefull or all those mean ‘ol bad guys will hurt us!

Sounds good. However...not sure what is up with this ABC breaking news flash, but it says:

EXCLUSIVE: GOV. SARAH PALIN WARNS WAR MAY BE NECESSARY IF RUSSIA INVADES ANOTHER COUNTRY

The DUmmies are going nuts over it.

A little humility would do the Obama/Biden ticket some good but there's no chance of that occurring.

Pure unadulterated conservatism. Just phenomenal! Barrry cannot be forthright like this with the American people. I think the same way about God - that He has a plan for all of us!
