Who does this look like ? Change the glasses and…
This has been quite a week. The Obama campaign continues to attack the experience of Governor Sarah Palin. The latest was comparing her to Senator Thomas Eagleton, the ill-fated VP choice of George McGovern in 1972. When it came out that Eagleton had been treated for depression, McGovern dropped him from the ticket and chose someone that nobody can remember anymore. The implication seems to be that Sarah should drop out, as well. Don’t bet on it.
In the meantime, Obama seems to be having second thoughts about his own qualifications.
But Obama was also worried about something else. He told Kellman that he feared community organizing would never allow him “to make major changes in poverty or discrimination.” To do that, he said, “you either had to be an elected official or be influential with elected officials.” In other words, Obama believed that his chosen profession was getting him nowhere, or at least not far enough. Personally, he might end up like his father; politically, he would fail to improve the lot of those he was trying to help.
So maybe it wasn’t all that great a qualification since he accomplished nothing and admitted it.
It’s going to be an interesting fall. Oprah is doing her best to add to the interest.
Also US Magazine ran a slime job on Sarah and it is paying a price. Of course, US is owned by Jan Wenner, a big Obama supporter.
Hurricane Sarah rolls along.
