Posted by: Mikey at June 5, 2011 12:45 PMAlthough I don't consider myself a Democrat, I am a liberal.
I would choose Obama over Palin in your five situations without hesitation. If you had pitted Obama against Colin Powell, I would have had to put some thought into the matter.
Posted by: Erin O'Brien at June 5, 2011 05:04 PMI'd go with Palin on all of the ones you mentioned, but if you asked which one would you prefer to suggest a name for your kids, I'd go with Obama.
Posted by: AYY at June 5, 2011 07:48 PMEric, if you'd choose Mr. Zero Empathy to read off flashcards to the family of a fallen soldier over someone with a child in the military... well, not to put to fine a point on it, but you're a fool.
Now, I can see choosing Obama to handle your finances. Not that he'd do a better job of it, but he could arrange favors to get you off the hook when TurboTax *oops* makes an impossible error in your favor for thousands of dollars.
Posted by: Dr. Horrible at June 5, 2011 11:43 PMI don't like either. But I don't like anyone, other than the Paul's, that have been suggested. I feel we are at that point faced by France in 1890's. It is time for everyone to loose a head.
