Run Sarah, Run

Well, your friendly neighborhood political junkie is back. I’ve been on hiatus dealing with the complications of moving my family to a foreign country. Things have finally calmed down, so I decided to check in on US politics today. It looks like my boy Barry had a majority of “approval” for a fleeting moment recently. Hopefully, by the end of the year more Americans will realize that Black + CINC ≠ 3rd anti-Christ, and that he is pretty damn good at doing the toughest job in the world.
It’s too bad that Sarah Palin is fading away and being dismissed (even by conservatives) as the uneducated narcissist that she happens to be. The 2012 Presidential debates would be highly entertaining if she was the pachyderm candidate, and Obama deserves to play a little wiffle ball after all the stressful issues he’s been handed.
I guess it is up to the Mormons to produce an easily defeatable GOP candidate. Jon Huntsman Jr. and Mitt Romney are both intelligent men, but let’s face it-a Mormon is unelectable. I’m not saying it’s right; I think it is just as wrong that a Jew, Muslim, or atheist (heaven forbid our leader make decisions based on logic as opposed to divine providence) is unelectable. Mitt is a good businessman, but he is also a power-hungry snake oil salesman that tells whatever constituency he is speaking to whatever they want to hear. Jon Huntsman seems like a good leader with a tendency to find the middle ground on issues-Evangelicals and Tea Partiers hate that.
