No Brainer

By now most people with access to the Internet, TV or radio have learned about the latest Sarah Palin interview by Charles Gibson. Some consider the interviewer Presidential, not Sarah Palin, while others say it was typically Liberal.

Paul Begala, a political consultant, commentator, and a former advisor to President Bill Clinton made a comment about the Rather Charles Gibson show hosted by ABC News and came as close as anyone possibly could to calling Mr. Gibson Presidential.

“I thought one person on my television screen looked ready to assume the presidency,” Mr. Begala, the CNN commentator, said by telephone on Friday. “It wasn’t Governor Palin.”

Others say Mr. Gibson tried to catch Sarah Palin off guard in a Liberal attempt to show she is incapable of the Vice Presidential position she is running for.

Charles Krauthammer, a conservative columnist, notes that Charles Gibson was incorrect in stating what the Bush Doctrine actually is in his interview.

The New York Times got it wrong. And Charlie Gibson got it wrong.

There is no single meaning of the Bush doctrine. In fact, there have been four distinct meanings, each one succeeding another over the eight years of this administration — and the one Charlie Gibson cited is not the one in common usage today. It is utterly different.

He asked Palin, “Do you agree with the Bush doctrine?”

She responded, quite sensibly to a question that is ambiguous, “In what respect, Charlie?”

Sensing his “gotcha” moment, Gibson refused to tell her. After making her fish for the answer, Gibson grudgingly explained to the moose-hunting rube that the Bush doctrine “is that we have the right of anticipatory self-defense.”

Wrong.

My opinion after watching the interview is that Charles Gibson was either playing the devil’s advocate or he was devilish in his questioning. I don’t think he would play the devils advocate to promote Sarah Palin as Vice President along with John McCain. Mr. Gibson leans too far left, so in my opinion, he was trying his best to uncover a weakness in Sarah Palin and be the hero of Liberal media like Dan Rather was in Vietnam.

His interview reminded me of Dan Rather’s news reports advocating the Killian documents in what seemed and is still considered a Liberal attempt to disgrace President George Bush.

Mr. Dan Rather retired from CBS shortly thereafter. Is Charles Gibson going to gaffe himself off ABC?

Barack Obama played to the crowds of Europeans like a rock start and they love him. Just ask a foreigner who they would like to see as the next US President. Many, if not most, will say, “Barack Obama, of course! He rocks! He is what America needs and would be good for bringing about world peace and unity around the world!” like they know what America needs.

But of course, what foreigners want for America isn’t what Americans want for America, at least not the majority.

Sure, there are some Americans, Liberal ones, who would like to see America become another socialist communist Russia or Venezuela. Just look at the majority of Hollywood elites that bounce about the globe dictator hopping and schmoozing, rubbing elbows and befriending people known for their hatred for America. If they had their way, Vladamir Putin or Hugo Chavez would be on the next Presidential ticket.

True Americans want to rule together as a democracy, not be ruled by czars, kings, queens, dictators, or parliaments. That’s why, and apparently many around the world either don’t remember their history or they choose to ignore the facts, Americans fought so hard to sever ties with British rule and become the United States of America, a democratic republic!

True Americans cringe when a foreigner tells them who they think they should vote for. We don’t like anyone, especially someone associated with a country where their ideals contradict the very foundation of Americanism, telling us how we should run our country.

Apparently, Mr. Barack Obama didn’t take to heart the things his history teacher taught in class. If he had, he probably would never have gone on an EU Tour to impress and influence the American vote. By pandering to the EU, the more liberal part of the world, Mr. Obama shows he is not the better choice to be the next President of the United States, something many Americans are beginning to think judging by recent poll numbers.

Americans want someone who is going to stand firm in their American beliefs and not squander away our sovereignty, fundamental ideals and integrity on foreign influence. Obama and Biden dress up and put on make-up to impress foreign diplomats and crowds, while John McCain and Sarah Palin ready themselves to lead America for the next 4 to 16 years!
