Rasmussen: [1]
A week ago, most Americans had never heard of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Now, following a Vice Presidential acceptance speech viewed live by more than 40 million people, Palin is viewed favorably by 58% of American voters. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 37% hold an unfavorable view of the self-described hockey mom
Has BO riles, Carolyn Lockhead, SF Gate [2]:
Sen. Barack Obama ditched his normal languid cool today, punching back at Gov. Sarah Palin as he spoke with reporters in York, Pa, hotly defending his work as a community organizer. He said he assumes Palin “wants to be treated same way guys want to be treated, which means their records are under scrutinty. I’ve been through this for 19 months. She’s been through it, what four days?”
Obama’s hackles were clearly raised by Palin’s dismissal of his community organizing –a response to his earlier dismissal of her record as a small-town mayor. “Why would that kind of work be ridiculed?” Obama said. “Who are they fighting for?” The idea that community organizing is not relevant to the presidency, he said, just shows why Republicans “are out of touch and don’t get it.”
Ed Morrissey, Hot Air [3], sums it up:
Says the man who keeps calling John McCain the same as George Bush. There’s a word for a man who can dish it out but can’t take it. I’ll leave it to you to reach your own conclusions.
BO wants us to believe he ready to stand-up the the leaders of the World. Yet BO can’t even handle one hockey mom from Wisella. Pathetic.
