Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin announced on Friday that she is resigning at the end of the month, sending Republicans across the country into a frenzy and leaving both parties uncertain about whether she was leaving national politics or laying the groundwork for a presidential run said a article in The New York Times.
Palin, the Republican vice-presidential nominee last year, originally set to serve through the end of 2010 said on Friday that she would be “passing the ball” to the Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell on July 26.
In her speech on Friday, Palin rambled, as usual, over countless topics that shared no real relation to one another. The speech held too many topics to count such as: foreign relations, debt, basketball, family and continuing her fight outside of the office.
A article in the New York Times said her speech was rocky and ill planned to say the least. She had very little structure if any and seemed unsure of the topic at hand. Palin sounded like a candidate with continued national aspirations, as when she suggested she could “fight for all our children’s future from outside the governor’s office.”
Honestly, Sarah Palin scares me. Not because she’s smart (obviously) and not because she seems to have won the hearts of so many Republicans, but because our country could actually back a person who can barely deliver a speech that touches any of her original topics. She knows almost nothing about the country and its affairs.
Why does our country keep forgetting that a pretty smile and a flash of religious conformity is not what makes a good president? Lets all pray to our gods that Sarah Palin doesn’t run for the presidency and if she does, she fails.
