Sarah who?
Well for me it is two things.
I tend not to be truly attracted to someone unless I like their personality. Also, I like thick (not fat) women.
I'm sick of hearing about Sarah Palin for the blatant double standard that exists around her when compared to Obama on academic grounds and achievements.
It is taboo to call out a person who went to some underfunded school in the middle of nowhere, popped out kids the way TLC families do, was a cheap prom queen and is for most purposes culturally illiterate.
It is just fine to go after Obama for being well educated, not a redneck and going to a school most people in America wouldn't have the family connections or grades to get into.
Not being a redneck is a sin in this country.
I find this interesting because the libs always claim they are for the small guy and against "legacies" aristocrats, bluebloods but when it comes to their politicians they want those Ivy leaguers --even ones who got in under suspicious circumstances (HTF did Ted Kennedy get into UVA law school or even sit for the bar) and they really love intellectual nobodies who go to rich schools for stupid kids-like Pelosi and Sebellus (Trinity College-rich stupid catholic girls finishing school)
yet they bash someone who comes from a lower middle class family and has to go to public schools.
Palin certainly didn't have any affirmative action getting through college. That her father was a school administrator with several kids sort of guaranteed she wasn't going to a 50K a year school

That is really interesting but trying to depict Obama as being disadvantaged is pathetic
Someon like Palin overcame much more than Obama yet he is the one who got affirmative action
I can tell you honestly that the chances of a white man getting into harvard law with a 3.2 or lower average from Columbia during the Era that Obama applied to law school is rather slim. Not one White Male with less than Magna Cum Laude in my class at Yale was accepted into harvard law. Not one. and those with Magna still were less likely to be admitted than rejected. At summa cum laude you finally had a better than even chance.
Obama didn't even make Honors at Columbia
I await for proof of any of this other than your words.
I'm kinda sick of hearing about her mainly because she's come in 3rd place in both straw polls this year, Yet somehow she's the one getting all the attention as if she's winning all the debates. It's almost as if the media is pushing for her to become the winner of the Republican Primaries.
After working with my college freshman son on how to get all his requirements done in order to graduate in four years I seriously ask how can someone like Palin go to 5 or 6 different colleges and graduate?
His particular major is very tight and no room for the "fluff" classes so one has to make certain he is getting the right sequence of classes. Forget help from college counselor as you have to be your child's advocate in getting the right classes. I have no idea how Palin was able to patch together classes from 6 colleges. Maybe she is a genius?
Frankly I'd be glad to stop talking about her, if you liberals could leave the topic alone for one full day...
maybe you projecting one person's situation on someone else's is rather stupid
My roommate in Law school did the same thing-started at harvard, then to Ohio State, then to toledo, then to BGSU and back to Harvard. 6 years later he got into half of the top 8 law schools in the USA
You should have no problem showing us the social advantages and how they helped him along the way.

Since the media is socialist, and communist, to have Palin win the GOP primaries would be a dream come true; she would absolutely lose to Obama, because she would have no independents.
Yet he later graduated from Harvard Law School magna cum laude, so he knows how to get good grades
As of now it looks that way but I can't say I'm 100% on that only because of the current state of our economy. If it continues to get better than he'll do fine, But if we have another crash then he might be in trouble.
Hypocrisy, anyone?
I'm sick of hearing from her. Her shrill, screechy, ill-informed nastiness induces nausea.
We don't have to say he made honors; your source is saying that.
He didn't deserve to be there in the first place is the point I am making
you cannot justify his admissions based on what he did later
