I think its funny that everyone wants to critisize Palin, call her stupid, etc, etc for really no appearent reason and none that people can really put their finger on so what's left? Bash. You mentioned qualifications, what qualifications did Obama have? None. That being said Obama has made at more mistakes and more blunders than anyother president on record, thinks there are 57 states in the union and uses a teleprompter for all of his speeches and you people have the nerve to critisize her for writing down a few notes on her hand right before she took the stage? Get a grip!
