if he had avoided the Q, he would have been criticized for being scared of palin. He was aked a Q and he gave an honest answer. Obama authorized legislation of a nuclear nature while in the Senate. Palin pronounced it "Nuke-U-lur" like Bush, then returned to a campaign speech, bashing community organizers.
then again, there are the same ppl who get mad over christmas decorations and his wife's sneakers. they are gonna bitch about anything.
Come 2012, if it's Palin against Obama, he is going to clean her clock when she starts griping about the experience of a community organizer. He reduced Nukes (a Reagan dream), he improved the DOW, and he created jobs after inheriting a mess. he'll have FOUR YEARS at the toughest job on the planet, and she'll have a year of governor that she quit, on her resume.
Let's face it, Obama punked Hilary (somehow) and made mccain look like a major douche in the debates. Once the debates with palin starts, and he throws some Q at her to knock her off script, the election is over. He'll win in a landslide. Every clinton/rove trick didn't work on obama - and he was a newbie then. You give him 4 years of presidential experience - then you have palm pilot palinmocking his experience with none of her own... ugh.
Repubs, please run a non-palin candidate in 2012. Thanks!
