Last night, we showed you what Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin had to say about the economy (in case you missed it, she said we're at some risk of repeating the Great Depression). Tonight, we'll show you what Katie asked her about foreign policy - and where Palin said she stands. First, a little taste of what's to come.
(CBS)
Katie Couric: You've cited Alaska's proximity to Russia as part of your foreign policy experience. What did you mean by that?
Sarah Palin: That Alaska has a very narrow maritime border between a foreign country, Russia, and, on our other side, the land-boundry that we have with Canada. It's funny that a comment like that was kinda made to … I don't know, you know … reporters.
Couric: Mocked?
Palin: Mocked, yeah I guess that's the word, mocked.
Couric: Well, explain to me why that enhances your foreign-policy credentials.
Palin: Well, it certainly does, because our, our next-door neighbors are foreign countries, there in the state that I am the executive of. And there…
Couric: Have you ever been involved in any negotiations, for example, with the Russians?
Palin: We have trade missions back and forth, we do. It's very important when you consider even national-security issues with Russia. As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border. It is from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right next to, they are right next to our state.
:o

shocker.......
is this some kind of sick fucking joke?

partial transcript of the the Couric interview of Governor Palin has been released by CBS:
Palin: I personally believe that U. S. Americans are unable to do so because uh, some uh people out there in our nation don't have maps and uh I believe that our education like such as South Africa, and uh the Iraq, everywhere like such as.
And I believe that they should uh our education over here in the U. S. should help the U. S. or should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future for our children.

thats rich..
isn't a possible vp supposed to, well enlighten me and not decay my brain cells with her generalizations?
-
Isn't that how GW Bush gained his foreign affairs experience in Texas? LOL. And heck, Texas is even closer to Mexico than Alaska is to Russia.
-
What I'd like to hear is for Couric to ask Palin if she knows when/how Alaska "joined" the United States.
Couric: Can you tell me when and how Alaska became a US state?
Palin: Yes I can. It's a great history and story.
Couric: Um...ok, how did it become a state then?
Palin: You know, I've been an Alaskan all my life and I'm very proud of our history. I just want other Americans to be able to share in that.
Couric: I'm just going to ask you one more time - not to belabor the point. When and how did Alaska become a US state?
Palin: I'll try to find you that information and I'll bring it to you.

I was thinking the same thing. It's like a bad cartoon!
How many times has she been to Russia in the last five years?
Does she speak Russian?
How many Russian leaders (or citizens for that matter) has she met with?
I can't believe people think this woman is ready to be president.
:'(

Just a little bit. Look at her real interview and that's not far off, but yes I said, "What I'd like to hear is for Couric to ask Palin if she knows when/how Alaska "joined" the United States," meaning she never asked her that but it might go something like...
-

Never. No. Zero.

What you fools don't see is that Palin is #2 on the ticket....Obama is first on his.

obama never claimed to have foreign affairs experience just because he lived in close proximity to something.get your head outa your ass.

let me guess....you are black right?
he does claim to have enough foreign affair experience to be president on day 1...you guys are doubting her experience when it could be months/years before she is president. Neither of them have the experience to be president. That is why I am voting for McCain....you forget he is #1 on our ticket.

you sound educated
another Dem avoiding the question....what more experience does obama have in foreign affairs compared to Palin?

actually it is you doing the avoiding. this thread is about the couric interview in which she asked palin how living close to Russia gave her foreign affairs experience.which you have yet to have a rebuttal for.

come on...what has osama done in the russian world?
Obama graduated with a degree in Political Science and International Relations from Columbia Univeristy and he also has a Harvard Law degree. It's a liberal college yes....but a VERY prestigious one. His mentor at college supposedly was Zbigniew Brzezinski and I believe is one of his current Foreign Policy Advisors. Whether or not you agree with Brzezinksi's views on Russia everybody can agree he's knows his shit when it comes to Russia and foreign policy. I personally hate the guy. But he's very intelligent.
Palin has a fucking degree in Communications/Journalism. While Obama was probably hard at work writing papers on foreign relations Palin was fucking winning beauty contests.
Get your facts straight before you criticizing shit you don't know about. I don't like Obama and won't vote for him. But he's an intelligent person and well educated. Palin is a tart with no qualifications to be VPOTUS. Oh....Obama actually taught Constitutional Law for 12 years. Palin???? She helped get her family's fishing business up and running. LMAO! It never surprises me how stupid my fellow Americans are.

brzezinski is in cahoots with obamas camp? seriously?
??? ??? ??? ???

Well I'm not sure. I thought I heard something about him being a foreing policy advisor or something possibly. He was definitely Obama's "Mentor" at Columbia University though. I don't agree with the guy but I do agree with his stance on the Israeli lobby in the U.S..........I.e. way too powerful.

Ya, ...that's one of the things I'm not too fond of about Obama, ...but it's far better than McCain / Palin.

im starting to think this tart may be the most laughable person to attain a governor position since at least the 19th century.
how in the hell does this happen? LOL HOW DOES SOMEONE LIKE THAT END UP PRESIDING OVER AN AMERICAN STATE???????

her husband was shadow governor.
He sat in most of her meetings, got many emails fwd'd, and was at the heart of troopergate.
He's an oil man who is the main reason she got the nod for VP, his involvement with transatlantic oil and the state contracts he maniplulated with palin's signature.

oooooh ok. that makes more sense now
-
McMannus makes some good points. I also feel Palin has less than ideal experience.
The foreign policy responce was....not so good.
I like Palin but the fact is she has no real foreign policy experience.
How about a Romney/Paul ticket?

How about a Romney/Paul ticket?
make it paul/romney and you have my vote ;)

Despite some of our disagreements, I see we have similar general/core ideas.

LOL She just got her passport last year ::)

You live in Canada and got caught out lying about having a 160 IQ. You peddle faulty and fraudulent gas caps. You're about as retarded as Palin and Co. are.

You live in Canada
True
and got caught out lying about having a 160 IQ.
I stand by my claim.
You peddle faulty and fraudulent gas caps.
In the 30+ yrs that an insurance policy has been in place regarding this technology, ...there has not been one incident where it has been shown that this product or technology has caused damage to a person's engine.
In the close to 3 years that we have been marketing it, there has not been a single incident where this product has been proven to cause damage to a person's engine. Infact, just the opposite has been shown. We've had many incidents of people experiencing challenges with the new 2008 engines with regen units, who have had their issues cleared up only AFTER their introduction of these products. Mechanics are constantly amazed at the relatively pristine conditions of engines that have been using these products. They're just not seeing the usual wear & tear, they normally see from everyday use, and it constantly amazes them. Not only do these products improve the efficiency of the engine, improving combustion, and saving people money on fuel costs, ...but they are also saving them money on maintenance costs as well.
You're about as retarded as Palin and Co. are.
Of all the unscrupulous and unwarranted libelous allegations you have made about me, ...this one really hurts. :'(

It never surprises me how stupid my fellow Americans are.
I never tried to defend Palin's foreign relation experience...but writing papers and studying about Russia in no way is equal to actually dealing with them face to face.
So again I ask for one thing that Obama has done internationally to give him more actual experience than Palin.
