Remember the medical student that went to Harvard, he was not to intelligent.

Agreed. He may be of higher learning and comes from Harvard, does not make him highly intelligent, after all, he needs to use a telepromter, she does not, she does not have to keep putting her head to the podium to read someone else's script either.

The bottom line: I would rather find her pocketbook then his wallet.

Obama speaks quite often and quite well on his own. Perhaps there's a dependence or desire for highly refined messages that's distracting...I think that's a reasonable criticism, but to cite it as an intelligence issue doesn't make a lot of sense. There's just too much evidence to the contrary.

Palin of course rarely speaks in sentences longer than will fit on a Tweet, and when in doubt will write secret notes on her hand for reference...what was it again? Energy, Budget Cut, Tax and Lift American Spirits? Man...she much really be speaking from the heart...

yeah, that "hostage takers" thing was great...very Presidential..

the good news for ANY future hopeful is that when Obama is done lowering the bar for discourse and denigrating the office, just about ANYone will be a vast improvement...

Right. And Obama can claim that he's trying to reach across the aisle to Republicans, yet he can say to the cameras that Republicans have to get "in the back of the bus". That's bridge-building, boy.

Palin writes notes down on her hand, and she's an idiot.

Obama can't speak to school kids without his teleprompter, and he's a brilliant orator. Without his teleprompter, he once said, on tape, that America has 57 states (which obviously doesn't make him an idiot, it was just a mistake).

Again, you criticize Palin, and your Messiah gets a pass, for the same thing...
