Fact Check.org
Firstly, I'd like to remind everyone of this site. I love this site for fact-checking the truths, half-truths, and lies that spring up during this election. It can be hard to sort through it all so I try to check in on a regular basis.
Secondly, it irked me when Obama was talking about Sarah Palin during the hurricane last week. Here's a recap if you don't know what I'm talking about. When asked about the experience factor, he conveniently forgot that Sarah Palin was governor of Alaska and purely focused on her mayoral position! Then, he couldn't be bothered to name the town correctly--he called it "Wasilly," not "Wasilla." Forget about Alaska.
Please note that, as much as Obama may talk about reaching across party lines and uniting people, he has toed his party's line 97% of the time. He certainly didn't reach all the way across to "Wasilly" in this hinterland to pick a vice president. Actions DO matter, not just words.
Obama has three degrees, including masters level degrees from Columbia and Harvard, and Palin has a Bachelors in journalism from Let's start with the article you are referring to. Yep, gotta disagree again. Obama has degrees, was president of the Harvard Law Review, and taught Constitutional law. He organized and managed all sorts of community going ons and is now managing (much better than John McCain) his own campaign. And that is much more huge than anything Palin has done in her lifetime. In addition, it is great that you posted this link in your article: http://www.factcheck.org/ because now it shows the false claims and trash from both Palin and McCain. In addition, I LOVE the very first comment from the article you feature in your blog:
ReplyDeleteUniversity of Idaho. Wake up country bumpkins!!!! Your basis for nominating Palin as vice president is because she is a “hockey mom” who likes “guns” and hates abortions? Keep clinging to your guns and various unorganized christian extremist religions indeed.
Uh-huh. I'll second that and leave it there.
You know I still love you. I just don't agree with you. At all.
That got kinda messed up. My cutting and pasting was all messed up. I'm going to repost the way it was supposed to be:
