Palin's not ready (Alaska Native)
Edited on Mon Sep-22-08 01:04 PM by EarlG
Sarah Palin doesn't know anything about the problems of Pittsburgh, or most of America, says Alaska native THEA AGNEW BEMBEN

I've lived in Alaska for my entire life. Last year, my family moved to Pittsburgh for a while so my husband could attend medical school, but my office remains in Anchorage. When I heard the news that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin had been selected to run for vice president I was so shocked I almost got hit by a bus.

-----

While she was mayor, Ms. Palin had a full-time city administrator who ran the city, so I would say her level of "executive experience" is much more limited than she claims.

In the 20 months Ms. Palin has served as governor, her style and record raise further questions about her suitability for national office.

She is not a consensus builder and has failed to work constructively even with Alaska's bipartisan legislative majority. While she claims to cut the budget, she has been very generous with her home community. While she ran on ethics reform, she currently is being investigated for firing a state employee because he would not fire her sister's ex-husband.

2. Unfair: I bet she saw that movie where the Titanic sank after colliding with Pittsburg
so its just not right to say she knows nothing about it
