Re: Angry Fans booed Sarah Plain
She's politically naive, yet she has a very strong support from her fans (unless she alienates them all).
Which means she has power and the ability to sway opinion and further her political career - regardless of her actual qualities and strengths and knowledge.
This is a celebrity rise - with a political platform. And that is very dangerous, I agree with that.
And I liked her when she first came onto the scene - I loved her, actually, so I understand why people like her. However, very quickly I started to realize that not only did I not agree with a lot of the republican party views, but that Palin, the new female spokeswoman to the scene, also didn't match a lot of my beliefs.
I supported McCain before she stepped in, and then when she was put into it the whole political battlefield was turned into a mockery where a celebrity status was more important than your political views.
So - you have both parties, now, headed by people who are idiots . . . one of those idiots is president and the other might be president, one day.
Honestly - I always wanted more from a strong political conservative female figure than what Palin offers, which is why I don't like her now. She couldn't even handle herself gracefully or with strength and control in an interview with Katie Couric or Charlie Gibson - how is she suppose to handle her face to face issues with foreign dignitaries and mediators, etc? That is, in fact, what a president spends most of their time doing - and with her I don't see that happening at all.
I didn't (still don't) think Obama's capable of handling foreign policy issues well when it comes to having meetings, delivering his agenda and supporting his views, etc etc .. I just think that for the both of them their attitudes and inability to handle theirselves under pressure is their achilles heel.
