    Editor: It was a fine thing that Palin did to visit her state’s troops in Kuwait!!! Are we now to assume because she did this that she is qualified to be one heartbeat from the Presidency??

    It was as much as Barry did, and he aspires to be President.

    And, she did it as the Commander of the Alaska national Guard, her duty as well as her option.

    She is also the only candidate to have ever visited ANWR.

    Gov. Palin is a real person. She went to visit the troops because she thought it was the right thing to do.

    BHO went to Iraq because he needed to for his World Tour campaign swing as a citizen of the world.

    So, is that orange t-shirt the Governor’s uniform as Commander? I trust that it’s ceremonial, as it would appear to stand out in a fire-fight.

    In reference to Tom Warren’s comments regarding GOV Palin’s trip to Kuwait. John Kerry said on the ABC that Obama trip to Iraq and Europe gave him foreign policy experience…what’s the difference? GOV Palin was there to visit her troops that are fighting in the war…Obama was there to act as a rock star.

    Palin has of course also been instrumental in putting together a deal to build a gas pipeline from Alaska to the lower 48, which means going through Canada.

    She knows how to deal with a foreign country. What has Obama, the guy at the top of their ticket negociated?

    What has he governed?
