Is Sarah Palin Getting Better At What She Does?

[WIP]

The facts speak for Canada...nothing more. Obama and team have dismissed any such approach for the USA....why would they choose the least cost effective universal access system in the world? One that relies on the excess capacity of the United States when it breaks?

If rich Canadians want to head south and pay out of pocket, they are welcome to it!

Obama and especially the Congress have had to rule out a single payer plan because your cabal of insurance companies have too much control over the political system! The fact that they have bought off virtually every Democratic and Republican national politician (aside from Bernie Sanders and Dennis Kucinich) is nothing to be proud of. It means Americans will be mired with an expensive system that is taking them down to third world health and quality of life standards.

And as Diane Francis noted in her column -- if what you say is true that Canada has the least cost-effective universal health system, it is still far better than the patchwork of insurance policies that Americans are dependent on. Americans are often owned by their employers because changing jobs carries too great a risk of losing health care. Canadian health care costs are 10% of GDP, while U.S. costs are 15% of GDP in spite of the fact that it leaves so many with no health insurance!

Krusty - what’s your beef with Obama? – after all… you maintain he’s simply continuing your boy Bush’s policies. “Bush-lite” appears to be the catch-phrase all repressed down-trodden Republicans like to throw at Obama.

and really – that “Barry thing”… it’s so 2008

Obama’s not quite at the level of Bubba when it comes to handling questions on the fly – but he ain’t all that bad, particularly when compared to the leaders of the GOP like Limpballs, O’Reilly, Beck and Hannnity.

whaaa… shades of the campaign returning – that Palin executive experience is uber-fantasimo considering she’s never had to deal with any of the typically large state issues and she has no budget, health care or crime problems… the entire state of Alaska has a population less than 700K. Do you really want to highlight that Wasilla experience? Care to guess what percentage of the U.S. economy Alaska’s gross state product is? - (try less than 0.5%). Alaska crime stats for 2006: 35 murders, 494 rapes/587 robberies. Yup, Palin is big on executive experience – you betcha!

And how does Obama's level of experience stack up against Palin's?Why does charisma trump real experience in your world?
