The RESUMES and POLITICAL histories of Obama and Palin:
1980 - 1984

OBAMA: Ivy League degree

PALIN: Tiara


1985 - 1990

OBAMA: Sterling legal education

PALIN: Sportscaster


1991 - 1995

OBAMA: Expert on our nation's fundamental legal principles

PALIN: Plotted to leave the Union


1996 - 2000

OBAMA: Sponsored 800 bills in the Illinois Senate

PALIN: Swayed 616 voters


2001 - 2004

OBAMA: Demonstrated wisdom and prescience to oppose the Iraq folly before it even began

PALIN: Hasn't “really thought much about it” despite the fact that 17 Alaskans have died there


2005 - present

OBAMA: Impressive figure on the national stage who knows how Congress works and is engaged with foreign policy issues

PALIN: Governor of a state with one-quarter the population of Brooklyn for just 21 months and which lives off oil and the federal dole, i.e. the taxpayers in the other 49 states (oh, and it happens to be "next to Russia" which is just one of the other 190 countries in the world she has never seen and knows nothing of)

1. Palin painted the war in Iraq as a messianic affair
At the Pentecostal church, Palin painted the war in Iraq as a messianic affair in which the United States could act out the will of the Lord: "Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending out on a task that is from God. That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan."

She also sought prayer on another matter: A $30 billion national gas pipeline project that she wants built in Alaska "I think God's will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built, so pray for that.''

3. Could she be ever more Jesus-ier than Bush?

2. Has this been posted before?
And if so, does anyone have a link? My boss sent it to me this morning and he didn't have a link.
