Here's a great video clip, where the reporter asks Newt Gingrich about Palin's experience. Newt responds with several things Palin has accomplished in her political life. Then after he mentions them, he asks the reporter if Obama has any experience like that - the reporter just looks blank, it's hysterical.

It's all about the Ice Cream (by a 3rd grade teacher or somebody just made it up)
The most eye-opening civics lesson I ever had was while teaching third grade in 2000. The presidential election was heating up and some of the children showed an interest. I decided we would have an election for a class president. We would choose our nominees. They would make a campaign speech and the class would vote.
To simplify the process, candidates were nominated by other class members. We discussed what kinds of characteristics these students should have. We got many nominations and from those, Jamie and Olivia were picked to run for the top spot.
The class had done a great job in their selections. Both candidates were good kids. I thought Jamie might have an advantage because he got lots of parental support. I had never seen Olivia's mother. The day arrived when they were to make their speeches Jamie went first. He had specific ideas about how to make our class a better place. He ended by promising to do his very best. Every one applauded. He sat down and Olivia came to the podium. Her speech was concise. She said, if you will vote for me, I will give you ice cream. She sat down. The class went wild.'Yes! Yes! We want ice cream. '
She surely would say more. She did not have to. A discussion followed. How did she plan to pay for the ice cream? She wasn't sure. Would her parents buy it or would the class pay for it. She didn't know. The class really didn't care. All they were thinking about was ice cream. Jamie was forgotten. Olivia won by a land slide.
Every time Barack Obama opens his mouth he offers ice cream, and 60% percent of America reacts like nine year olds. They want ice cream.
The other 40% percent know they're going to have to feed the cow.

Hispanic voters, please read:
Whether your are pro-abortion or not, it's important to note that Obama is in favor of late term abortions. That means the baby is taken from the mother in the 5th or 6th month. As is comes out of the birth canal, the baby's head is punctured and the baby sometimes has to be cut into pieces. This is cruel and inhumane and the fact that Obama favors this should be of great concern about the man.

Obama wants to have a new "NEW DEAL", he said that many times.

FDR's policies prolonged Depression by 7 years, UCLA economists calculate

Should be a new slogan: "Turn recession into depression: VOTE for OBAMA". Now that is "change we can believe in", but it's certainly NOT "change we need".
