She Passed the Test, yet again.

I am truly trying to not say some really snarky things...I just don't see that happenin' though. So if you're a Barrack Buddy, please don't hold your breath or anything.

She's been on the stump running for VPOTUS for five weeks and she just stood toe to stiletto with someone who has been professionally blowin' smoke for 35 years... Just so we are clear ~ that's a 1, 815 week or 9, 075 day (I only counted weekdays) difference.

A couple highlights I enjoyed:

* "Paying higher taxes is not patriotic."

* Giving a timeline is like "waving the white flag of surrender". (Said while tapping a watch, We'll be outta you're way at noon on Feb. 20th 2009. You can save all your murderin', schemin', bombin' and head choppin' until the 21st if you don't mind. Then feel free to resume and be sure to make up for lost time...)

* "Go, look back at my comments. You'll see I agreed with Barrack." and "Barrack did not say he'd sit down with Hoobinjobin (can't think of Iranian leader's name) without pre-conditions." Whuh? Huh?! I actually felt bad for Biden with these two comments (amongst many, but these two especially). Does he really think 80,000,000 people did not hear Barrack say these things LIVE. So typical of entrenched politicos. I'll deny it, say I didn't say it, believe I didn't say it, say I didn't really mean it...until you believe me. I loved the retort she had to his first denial, "I watched that debate. I heard what you said. I'm sure the pundits will let us know tomorrow who said what, when."

Quote I wish she would have said to all the, "McCain voted against it. McCain voted against it," would have been, "Duh. Where do you think all the friggin' $$$$ was going to come from to pay for all your Do Good spending?!! Right off the backs of the Average Joe American bustin' his butt to pay for a house and food for his fam, that's where."

I guess it just boils down to the fact I like that she's an average, yocal, middle-class woman who is fed up with the bureaucracy like the rest of us and can speak her mind in non-politico language, stand her ground and not be intimidated by Washington's Finest. I find it interesting that people who don't like her, name the very same reasons. Seriously, I find that interesting.

She talked to the American public personally. He tried.

I did, however, come away with a much better opinion of him in the long run. Kinda. Okay, not much better. But, I did feel for him when he teared up and I love the fact he is so passionate about Israel and he goes home to Wilmington every night from D.C. to be with his fam. THOSE were fabulous things to find out.

Love Note to my Big Shooter: Sweetie, I tried to hold back the snarkiness in the post. I really did. But, it's been driving me crazy all week so I'll say it to you ~ You know all those people that called her names, said she was an emotional train wreck, didn't have a chance or a clue? Or my fave, that she couldn't form a thought on her own? Do you think it may have been because they watched edited, pasted together versions of interviews designed to make her look bad...and (gasp) they themselves fell for it? Do ya think that coulda, maybe happened Sweetie? Nah? Me neither.
