Malibu Barbie

With all the speculation about what the aims, goals, dysfunctions of Sarah Palin are, I thought I might make a bid to draft her to the bigger stage. President? No, Governatress. Come again? For those of you outside of the great state of Cali-for-nea. That’s Schwarzenegger speak for the next governor of California.

Some of you may think that I’m joking, perhaps a little tongue in cheek, but since we’ve had a Mr. Universe, why not have a beauty queen. While Governor Schwarzenegger is a closet liberal, Sarah Palin could be an out of the closet conservative and you know how Californians love those who come out of the closet.

If she desires to be another Reagan she could come to the place where the biggest mess is, California, coming soon to the federal level. She could move from Wasilla to Malibu and clean up Sacramento as practice for cleaning up after the ravages of Obamanomics. Perhaps by then she will be viewed by most rational people as the perfect person to clean up after the Obamanation has run it’s course. 2012? Governor of California. 2016? First Female POTUS.

You may be laughing, I am, but you know what? She couldn’t possibly do worse than any of the home grown candidates, by the way the Governator is proof positive that carpet baggers are acceptable to the California Electorate as long as they are photogenic. I do believe in Sarah’s values and sincerity. We need her as much as she needs a stepping stone to Pennsylvania Avenue. Worked for Reagan. Could happen again.

P.S. Thanks for the inspiration Maureen.

Sarah Palin, Rock Star

Sarah Palin, political rock star. Not qualified to be county dog catcher, let alone serve a higher purpose on a national level. Sounds eerily like our current rock star President. He completely and totally obliterated all future quips about political qualifications. He was a community organizer, state senator, U.S. Senator for two years and now he’s doing a bang up job as president of the world and savior of the U.S. economy. Oh wait…

The thing that irritates me the most about the punditry is that they don’t get to choose Presidents, the people do. If the people are willing to ignore Obama’s lack of experience because they wanted a rock star president, there is no amount of political insider speak that will dissuade them from electing a political disaster in progressive, pardon me, political disaster in progress.

Sarah Palin appeals to me because she is fresh, folksy if you want to call it that. “There you go again.” I am not old enough to remember President Reagan delivering that folksy zinger and at the time I was as willing to be a Democrat as most children raised in union family America are. I remember all the jokes, I remember singing in chorus on the play ground, “My president has a first name it’s R-O-N-A-L-D. My president has a second name it’s R-E-A-G-A-N. And if you as me why I’ll say… Rotten Ronnie has a way of screwing up the U-S-A!” Think Oscar Meyer Bologna commercials. Where are the children who sang it with me? They don’t live here in logger country anymore, they moved to Idaho mostly.

As a matter of fact that elementary school is still there, barely, it’s student population has fallen by 50% and it is still a repository for leftist propaganda and environmental fallacy. President Reagan was elected in landslides. Against all the punditry. Folksy, cheesy, aw shucks, President who did more in eight years to transform America than any President since FDR. Only Reagan started the longest period of economic growth in U.S. history while FDR presided over the great depression.

Is Palin another Reagan? No, nor should we yearn for the past. Rather Palin embodies the optimism and “Shining City on a Hill” view of our nation as Reagan did and when compared to President Obama’s apologizing to the world for being American and our economy headed for possibly the worst down turn since the 1930’s, Sarah Palin could possibly be the next U.S. President because like President Obama she can run as the Un-Presidential candidate who will throw the D.C. bums out of office.
