Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Laura says Palin Lacks Foreigh Skills.....!

Well, hush my mouth.....What do you think of this? (This is just a question...don't get your trolling panties all in a knot.)

So, what do you think?

Seems like an honest answer to me. It's too bad we don't hear more of them. I would think that most governors have little foreign policy experience. Bill Clinton certainly didn't have any. Bush and Palin are at least governors of border states.

Its too bad more people aren't asking the same question about Obama. I'm not aware that he has any foreign policy experience either...or executive experience for that matter. I would think that being at the top of his ticket, it might be something worth knowing.

Her foreign policy skills at this point are at least equal to W's, Clinton's, Reagan's, Carter's, or LBJ's pre-election as VP; as they were all governors (like her), but they (except for LBJ) ran for POTUS, not VP, and it didn't seem to trouble them any.

Oh, and at this point, her foreign policy skills are at least equal to Obama's (well, at least up to that whole being aligned with known terrorist thing that Obama has going on), and he's running for POTUS.

The fact that her executive experience trumps Obama's or Biden's, is a given.

What are Obama's foreign skills other than he lives in a sanctuary city, attended a madrassa in Indonesia, and may not be a citizen of the United States?

He followed a rock band and gave a speech to a buncha Chermans.

Good question! I went a "googled" and found this from May of 2007.

Obama joined the Senate Foreign Relations Committee when he entered the Senate in January 2004, and from this perch he has gotten to know world leaders and international affairs experts.

For Obama's presidential bid, Senate staffer Mark Lippert is the critical link between the campaign, the Senate staff and the senator. Lippert has accompanied Obama on the three international trips Obama has taken while in office. Lippert, who has a master's from Stanford in international policy, has had a hand in every major Obama speech and statement on international affairs and deals with the senator daily.

Lippert, a lieutenant junior grade in the Navy Reserve, came to Obama after working on the Senate Appropriations Committee Foreign Operations Subcommittee for five years and has handled foreign policy and defense issues for the Senate Democratic Policy Committee.

Besides Lippert, the core Obama group consists of three people who worked in President Bill Clinton's administration: former National Security Adviser Anthony Lake and former senior State Department officials Susan Rice and Gregory Craig. They meet regularly in Washington. Lake was the NSA adviser during Clinton's first term. Rice was the senior adviser on national security affairs for the Kerry-Edwards campaign in 2004, an assistant secretary of state for African affairs and a special assistant to the president at the National Security Council at the Clinton White House.

Must be Dr. Laura you are refering too and she's a country style biscuit!

Laura Bush: Sarah Palin lacks foreign experience but is a 'very quick study'


First Lady Laura Bush once defended Michelle Obama, saying critics were taking her words out of context when the wife of the Democratic presidential candidate said she was proud of her country for the first time in her adult life.

Maybe Michelle Obama will return the favor now.

Today Laura Bush told CNN that Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, the Alaska governor, lacks experience in foreign policy.

You know, that's not been her role. But I think she is a very quick study, and fortunately John McCain does have that sort of experience.

Asked if she thought Palin's resume included sufficient foreign policy experience, Bush said, "Of course she doesn't have that."

But the first lady emphasized that she has "a lot of confidence" in Palin, who is in New York this week for a round of first-ever meetings with world leaders.

"She's got a lot of really good common sense, and I think that's very important," Bush said from New York, where she is seen above promoting global literacy at a conference at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. "She also has executive experience from being a governor and a mayor, and I'm thrilled to have the chance to vote for Sarah Palin on the Republican ticket."

Asked if she thinks Palin is being treated unfairly because of her gender, the first lady said, "I do think there's a little bit of that going on, and I think it's to be expected."

Taking things out of context; a hallmark of a "professor" (esp. one who can't or won't divulge what they supposedly taught), and a trademark of the leftists.

Putting it in context, would not support the agenda.

His momma was a ho who liked foreign guys. Does that count?

It's true. So what? Obama is so bad she could be brain dead and I would vote for McCain.

That's a classy quote and somewhat beneath you Steve.

I don't know. At some point you just get tired of all the Obama BS. We still don't know who put the whole Obama thing together nor whether he ever went to class at Columbia, etc.

I do think Sarah is a quick study.

Oh. Socialists. I'm not surprised.

Only for Obama's Momma and her dark skinned muzzies.

i dont understand why anyone would have high foreign policy skill expectations for the gov of AK? (other than russia maybe?)

what she does have is more sack than anyone else in the race.... she scares the [bleep] out of them and they are not man enough to admit it....
