Obama shows his true colors with Palin
Posted: 3 September 2008 at 08:34:00
Can you believe the hypocrisy, lies, and just all-out lack of respect the media, blogosphere, and the far-left are demonstrating with regard to Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin?
Here's an example of a blatant disregard of the facts.
On his television show last night, Glenn Beck had a short segment where he debunks some of the flat-out ridiculous crap Barack Obama has said about Palin. Beck laid it all out and told it like it is. Here's part of the transcript.
Well, every day in our free e-mail newsletter we feature new "arguments with the idiots", a basic outline on how an argument should go with you and one of your stupid friends.
For example, you have got somebody that you know that says Sarah Palin isn't experienced enough to be vice president but Barack Obama is. You say, really, that's weird. Certainly Barack believed when he was going to be president, when he announced that he was ready to be president that he was ready to be president, right? Well, yeah. Okay.
Well, Barack Obama was in office for 767 days when he announced that he was a presidential candidate. Sarah Palin was in office 635 days when she announced herself as a vice presidential candidate. So what sort of incredible knowledge did Barack Obama absorb in that 132 days, hmm? Oh, yeah, and before you answer. If McCain/Palin do go on to win, she'll go into office on Jan 20th, 2009 with 24 days more experience than Barack Obama when he announced.
At this point your idiot friend will just look confused and say, "George Bush!" And then it's possible that they might try to trot out this gem of a talking point like Barack Obama did last night with Anderson Cooper. Watch.

SEN. BARACK OBAMA, (D) PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE: My understanding is, is that Governor Palin's town of Wasilla has, I think, 50 employees. We've got 2,500 in this campaign. I think the budget is maybe $12 million a year. We have a budget of about three times that just for the month.

Did he miss that she's the governor now? Why would Barack Obama compare his current job with her former job? Why not compare apples to apples?
Maybe this is why. We crunched the numbers. Sorry. And since he announced his candidacy, Barack Obama has raised about $21 million a month. That's a huge organization for sure, unless you directly compare it to Sarah Palin, who is handling revenues of 47 times as large, over a billion per month.
Barack Obama says 2,500 employees. That's what he's got working for him. And it is a lot. Unless you directly compare it to Sarah Palin and the Alaskan government with its over 77,000 employees or around 31 times as many as Barack.
So if, as Barack insinuates running an organization the size of his campaign is a sign you're qualified to be president, Sarah Palin is somewhere between 37 -- or 31 and 47 times more qualified than him.
