I don’t choose to get over it already. As far as “vetting” Obama, we’ve had 4 years to watch him, read him and know him. At least, he knows what happens in Senate chambers. And, he’s left a paper trail all the way back to Harvard. And, he’s been known to hang out with shady characters. So, what else is new? And, yes, I am concerned that someone who has been chosen to run for the second highest office in the land has to ask what the job is and doesn’t even know that the VP is also President protem of the Senate. This has nothing to do with left or right being obtuse, whatever that means. Ever heard of Abramoff?

Eleanor—He was thoroughly vetted as Diana says; his life if fully documented in public life from the U of Chicago though the Illinois state legislature, up to the US senate—I’d call that fully vetted.—Palin while only going for VP was vetted in 1 day—not much time—and a lot is coming out on her : how about the Trans Alaska-Canada gas-pipeline somehow she can up with 500,000,000 bucks as “seed” money for that—where’d that come from? The State budget”—well Alaska is rich thanks to big oil has been for decades now—but half a billion a big chunk of change— Ok so he snorted cocaine—tell me about George Bush and alcohol and cocaine. A lot of used there and that’s well documented and he’s admitted it—as Bill Clinton hell we all now he smoked dope —so did I—-still do for that matter. Palin belonged to the AIP a separatist church? party? Ok so she quit and went the the Assembly of god in 96. Still a separatist movement to secede from the Union—only South Carolina has done that more and they even threatened during the Civil War to separate from the Confederacy becasue they wanted the importation of slaves to begin again. And how about her part in initiating “troopergate”? and he husband’s part in that when he wasn’t even an elected official of Alaska? There are legitimate questions are about this woman not because she’s a woman but because she’s a politician from an oil-bought state and things have ha[happened under governorship. If the republican party had vetted her properly these problems wouldn’t be out there in the news as much. You know that Eleanor.Any Politician is going to run into questions. Now she is=—Hell I’ve still got questions about McCain and his sexist remarks, actions and attitude toward women and his wife.

Eleanor, I’m amazed that liberals are so interested and offended by John McCain’s pick for VP. John McCain is running on the Republican ticket…why do they care? They behaving as if they’re personally offended and shouldn’t be……unless they’re worried that he will be the next President? I really could have cared less who Obama picked. My only opinion was that if he wanted to run away with the election he should have picked Hillary and didn’t…. You really have to question where all this hostility and “concern” for a Republican pick is coming from……
