Dont Talk Barack!

Talking to Anderson Cooper on Monday, Barack Obama said he is better prepared to handle a disaster like Hurricane Gustav because of his pursuit of the White House. When asked about the public's concerns with his inexperience, Barack said...

“Well, my understanding is that Governor Palin’s town of Wasilla has, I think, 50 employees. We’ve got 2,500 in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe $12 million a year. You know, we have a budget of about three times that just for the month. So I think that our ability to manage large systems and to execute I think has been made clear over the last couple of years,” Obama said.

Hahahaha. If he was really so talented at running a campaign, he'd know that sometimes it's just best to take the high road. Or just not to speak at all. Being that he said "Governor Palin", surely he realizes that she isn't "Governor" of the town of Wasilla. As current Governor of the largest state in the union, with 15,000 employees under her and a 2008 budget of $11 billion, Palin is in charge of some of the most valuable land in the United States. Because of it's location, the state of Alaska likely deals with international matters more than any other state - having to contend with Russia, Canada, and even the indigenous peoples of Alaska. As an Alaskan, she's knowledgeable about the untapped resources within her state, not only the vast oil reserves but the clean-burning natural gas that can provide us with a bridge into an era of renewable energy sources. In addition, as Governor, Sarah Palin is commander-in-chief of the state's National Guard.

Obama is like a talking donkey, every once in a while, he says something that makes sense. But most of the time, he just makes an ass of himself.
