Palin Clueless?

In an article posted by Ali Frick on Think Progress, the accusation that Palin is clueless was made. This particular article is definitely intended for the Democratic view, and most certainly not the Republican. Democrats are all about attacking Palin and her beliefs and opinions, or her lack thereof. Ali's video clip of the interview Katie Couric had with Plain explains his opinion of Palin's lack of knowledge. However, just because Palin does not have an exact example of a Supreme Court decision in which she disagrees with, does not mean she does not know her facts. Palin has been in politics much longer than Obama has and would, therefore, have more political knowledge and information about our country. And really, Democrats should shift their focus away from the Republican VP, and in the direction of the actual presidential candidates, such as their very own, Barack Obama. They must be completely overlooking the fact that their beloved Obama has even less of an opinion on more important matters. On all important matters in the senate, Obama merely marked 'present'. He did not even voice his opinion in serious matters because his main concern is pleasing the public, hence his "changes" in America. Many of Obama's changes are not even necessary or needed. The sole purpose of Obama's changes is to capture votes from America, mainly the younger ones. All they see is change, which is what everybody wants, they completely ignore the indecisiveness of Obama. Instead of seriously considering the actual runners for president, people seem to be more focused on Palin and there is absolutely no need for it. Palin isn't running for president, Obama and McCain are. So the fact that the Democrats are so determined to bring Palin down is a mystery to me. I'm more worried about the "all-knowing" president they seem so fond of. Maybe if they paid more attention to the facts about Obama, and less about Palin, they would see the truth and would stop attacking Palin on a daily basis.
