There are those I am sure who want to knock me off of my literary pulpit if they could.  However it's not about what I want, right ?  It is about what the people want.  Apparently, there is speculation that Sarah Palin is wearing a rug to spruce up her already "poofier than thou hair."  Now I hear she is hocking the idea of a reality show to whoever will listen for between 1 and 1.5 million dollars an episode.  Will somebody please end this indefatigable nightmare and make her go away.  There can't possibly be this many stupid people who would actually take the time to watch this woman tour mines, camp or go fishing.  Sure this country has had its share of train wrecks that we are willing to watch in the interest of occupying the dead spaces of our life, but Sarah Palin?

How can we continue to take this person seriously?  If history is any indication, we may possibly elect this woman to be the leader of this country.  Have we learned nothing from the past? Ladies and gentlemen I implore you,  this cannot happen again.   I cannot change the collective minds of those with a particular political ideology.  One person may say they are Republican for a particular set of reasons. Another person may be a Democrat for an equal set of legitimate reasons. However there really needs to be some careful consideration of whom we select as our leader.

Let's face it. You know it and I know it, Sarah Palin would be a complete shipwreck as the head of this or any country. Heck, I wouldn't even let her run my household. The day of the folksy politician has got to end. I cannot bear the thought of seeing the combination of that poffee hair and those thick rectangular glasses occupying the expanse of my 65 inch television. 

I know all I have to do is change the channel. Yes, even that may prove to be difficult because sooner or later the idea of this woman minting money for doing practically nothing while I review another arduous case will eat at me.  So I will make this request. Please do not give this woman any more of a forum than she already has or we will all be in trouble.

CHIP:

"However there really needs to be some careful consideration of whom we select as our leader."

I agree.  America should have been more diligent vetting candidates during the Presidential election of 2008.

Folksy is passe?  Looks like accomplishment and experience was passe in the last election.

(PS I'm a card carrying Dem - a disgusted Dem I might add)

Ms. Palin seems to be someone who has the raw intelligence to be able to input her surrounding information to process her thought very quickly.  However, like most thoughts, these are incomplete.

Her downfall, to me, is that she becomes incredibly stupid and immature with her unwillingness to open her mind and change her position as new information comes her way.  She doesn't seem willing to change her mind, even when it's obvious that she has enough information--later--to do this without losing face.

She seems to be more interested in preserving her ego and "being right" instead of "doing right."

She also made it easy to dislike her when she gave that first speech firing from guns in both of her hands.  She seemed to cry like a little kid when the "kid" started returning her punches.  "Everyone's picking on me."  She started the fight, but, like most bullies, she wasn't prepared to continue fighting.

On the flipside, she showed that she had a good sense of humor by going on the Saturday Night Live show.  Even if it was extra air time, it showed that she was able to laugh at herself, giving her some hope of future improvement.

I think that if she matures, she could be a legitimate candidate.

I probably would not vote for her, anyway, as she is more conservative than my beliefs are eager to incorporate.

Bonnie--You made an interesting point about experience wasn't really needed for many of our votes, including mine.  I don't know whether the much more experienced McCain would have done better to date, but you made a point worth considering.

Chris,  I have to say in all honesty I was not 100% sold on McCain.  If Hillary had gotten the nomination I would have voted for her.

I'm tired of professional politicians.  I'd like to see the likes of a Lee Iocca or Warren Buffet take the reigns of our economy.  I'd like to see people come forward who are captains of industry to revitalize our industries, create jobs and decrease our trade deficit.

Our founding fathers envisioned government run by the people.  Those who would come to Washington and bring their experience and ideas.  Serve a term or two and vacate the seat for the next one.

We need to tighten our borders and stop supporting two countries.  We have to take a stand on Iran and North Korea.  This is not the time to cut budgets to military or weapons development.

We need someone to revamp the entire housing industry.  The next wave of foreclosures and short sales will be hitting us. The mortgage industry via the banks is running amok.  We are experiencing negative values all around this country.  Declining or depressed neighborhoods further drag down values. Our industry did not fall on its face by itself - it won't heal by itself either.

Cities and towns have "come back" in the past.  Raze abandoned neighborhoods and rebuild.  Make depressed cities attractive to work and live in.

We have so many other needs in this country, and health care should not have been number one on the list.

Bonnie--I, too, was intrigued with Hillary.  She doesn't present herself in a way that makes people really want to follow her.  (She seems very bitter about a lot of things, leading many people to assume--rightfully or wrongfully--that she rides a broom.)  Her experience made her very intriguing.  I don't know why she didn't run in 2004.  She would have won in a landslide.  From 2004 to early 2008, I assumed that she would be our next president before Mr. Obama blazed a trail through campaigning strategy (maximizing the Internet's power).

During the 80's, there were many people mentioning Mr. Iacoca's name for the nation's top position.  The problem with the US Presidency is that our nation's best leaders can make so much more money--with so much less stress--leading corportations instead of our nation.  There isn't any real incentive for our best leaders to tackle the presidency.  So we get the best campaigners of the lifelong politicians to compete for it instead--ones with a chip on their shoulder (which hopefully drives them to greatness instead of blinding them into non-teamwork oriented stupidity).

This is why I look for minorities (women, blacks, Hispanics, etc.) to compete.  People from these groups "have a lot to prove" and would take great pride to win that position.  That's why I think that our chances of getting better leadership lay there.  (Madamme Hillary would be an example of this.  Sarah...I'm not sure she's there, yet...one day, maybe.)

Disclaimer: Because of what I wrote in my last paragraph, readers should know that I am a suburban, white, middle-aged (38) male.

As someone who lives in the Detroit Area...AMEN to razing abandoned neighborhoods.  Of course, there isn't any money here to rebuild--not from the city, at least.  It will take the hand of a very wealthy and passionately dedicated visionary-style investor.  I hope to be this person one day.  Today, I'm afraid that I am not.

Health care IS one of the many pressing needs.  Rising costs from all corners (providers, drug companies, and insurers) make ordinary inflation seem entirey nonexistent.  THAT is a bubble that has to burst.  Oddly, it's not much different than the housing industry.  Pretty much everyone needs it, but soon nobody will be able to afford it.

I'm curious whether the bill that passed addressed THOSE needs, at least some of them.  I'm nervous that it was little more than political posturing to say, "Our administration passed national health care."

I agree that health care is not the only thing that ails the US right now.

Good luck to all of us.

Good comment post, Bonnie.  I wish more people took time to think instead of simply puking back things they hear or read from other people.

A satirical look at human behavior as seen through the eyes of a well educated middle aged black man. A perspective not often heard or cared about. Nevertheless, the possibilities are endless and the commentary is bound to be hilarious. Is the world ready for my opinion and, more importantly, am I ready to hear from the world ?
