		<description>I never said I was for him now.  I&#039;m just reserving judgment at the moment, there&#039;s plenty I disagree with him on.

I think I made it pretty obvious that the possible scandal of the Palin house is was just that....preliminary information that suggested there is a scandal.  This is the second time it has been brought up and I think it&#039;s possible there is fire where there is smoke.

I don&#039;t know why the investigators would be federal investigators though.  Seems to me it would be a state or local issue.</description>

		<description>If there is no scandal it will be probably the first time in my lifetime a politician resigned for something other than extremely bad health or a scandal.  It could happen but I&#039;m not holding my breath.

And I still think it was one of the most bizarre press conference speeches I&#039;ve ever heard.  </description>

		<description>As for scandal re: money with any politician,,, I am so OVER IT! I am sure if we loooked at every gov., member of congress state and fed, we would find similar stories or hints at stories for all of them. Every politician is a snake in the grass and absolutely give themself &#039;perks&#039; at every opportunity.  So if she did or didn&#039;t doesn&#039;t make a hill of beans to me.  It&#039;s so common as to not even be worth thinking about anymore.</description>

		<description>I think she&#039;s ignoring them.  Poor little Palin is being picked on.  I thought Palin was the pit bull with lipstick?  The Barracuda?  You wouldn&#039;t know it to hear her whining lately.</description>

		<description>&quot;In fact, if you look at all that was said about Obama, that he didn’t really support gay issues, he would keep the power that Bush II took by executive order, he would continue to allow phone calls to be listened in on, he would not only stick with the faith-based initiatives but he would expand them….you get my drift. Those aren’t smears, they’re facts.&quot;

Are you unaware of the smears or do you choose to ignore them?

		<description>The people I was calling liars know who they are.  If the shoe fits and all that jazz. 

First of all I wasn&#039;t an Obama supporter.  I didn&#039;t vote for Obama.  Secondly Wizcon already addressed the Sara Palin cheerleading, so I suggest you read Wizcon&#039;s reply.  Sarah did her best to paint Obama as a domestic terrorist as Wizcon pointed out.

Secondly, I made it quite clear that the scandal information is speculative.  It seems the Sarah Palin supporters don&#039;t mind speculation as long as it&#039;s not about Sarah.  One of the people who commented here and took me to task about the speculation had a post on another board suggesting that Obama didn&#039;t write his own book, that William Ayers did. LOL  No speculation or rumor there.  

I can&#039;t find where you have ever posted here before but you couldn&#039;t wait to show up and &quot;defend&quot; Sarah.  How are all the little PUMA&#039;s by the way?

PS  I know all about what Obama has or hasn&#039;t done but as I said (and you would know if you actually read here much) that I said I would give him a year.  He inherited the worst mess anyone could and I will reserve judgment on his performance.  That was my commitment to myself and I&#039;ll stick to it, thank you very much.

And if I had to choose between Obama and Sarah Palin I would take Obama any day of the week and twice on Sundays.  Palin is an attention junkie (I cleaned that up quite a bit) who belongs on the Jerry Springer show, not national news or the Oval Office.  I find her politics reprehensible, her private life not much better and her little cutesy persona nauseating.  I don&#039;t support a candidate based solely on gender.

And here are some things that Obama has done:

Reversed restrictions on stem cell research
Appointed an assistant to the president for science and technology policy
Created a foreclosure prevention fund for homeowners
Expanded loan programs for small businesses
Extended and indexed the 2007 Alternative Minimum Tax patch
Expanded eligibility for State Children’s Health Insurance Fund (SCHIP)
Expanded funding to train primary care providers and public health practitioners
Directed military leaders to end war in Iraq
As promised gave a speech at a major Islamic forum in the first 100 days of his administration
Granted Americans unrestricted rights to visit family and send money to Cuba
Restored funding for the Byrne Justice Assistance Grant (Byrne/JAG) program
Released presidential records
Now requires new hires to sign a form affirming their hiring was not due to political affiliation or contributions
Pushed for enactment of Matthew Shepard Act, which expands hate crime law to include sexual orientation and other factors
Created a White House Office on Urban Policy
Supported increased funding for the NEA
Funded a major expansion of AmeriCorps
Worked to overturn Ledbetter vs. Goodyear
Banned lobbyist gifts to executive employees
Invested in all types of alternative energy
Enacted tax credit for consumers for plug-in hybrid cars
Provided grants to encourage energy-efficient building codes
Extended unemployment insurance benefits and temporarily suspended taxes on these benefits. 

I&#039;m pretty happy with that list so far.

And Palin should have remembered how she criticized Hillary Clinton for &quot;whining&quot; before she did so much of her own.
 (She said she felt kind of bad she couldn&#039;t support a woman, but she didn&#039;t like Clinton&#039;s &quot;whining.&quot;) &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.newsweek.com/id/156190&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;SOURCE&lt;/a&gt;

And PS...take your snide &quot;suggestions&quot; elsewhere.</description>
