And you think Obama does? surround yourself with enough qualified advisers and you'll look like a champ or chump depending...

No, of course I don't. But it doesn't change that fact that Palin doesn't either.

Often when someone levels a charge on Palin, the typical reply is, "what....you don't think Obama is bad?". (And vice-versa). Well, neither Palin nor Obama happen to be the objective standard by which to evaulate other leaders. They are both independently and equally very bad.
