I’m wondering why when asked about foreign relations rather than spewing those clearly inappropriate responses such as being able to see Russia from an Alaskan island she couldn’t answers something like this: “I believe that all negotiations have to do with exchanges. Each party wants something and is willing to give something in exchange. Our mission as negotiators is to be clear on what we want, what is the least we will accept and what is the most that we are willing to give in return. Part of that mission is through study and discussion to determine what the other side wants, what is the least that they will give and what is the least that they will accept. I have been involved in many negotiations in my career and have learned to do this. Certainly when dealing with foreign countries I will need language translators as well as country experts to help me identify what the other party is asking looking for. Considering the complexity of the world today I clearly understand my need to be advised on the issues and ramifications involved in each foreign issue. Of course, it would be absolutely essential to hear the opinions interested parties in our country as negotiations progress. Not the least, of course, is for my countrymen to understand my basic life philosophies so they can understand where I’m coming from. I believe that my administrative record would speak for me.”
This kind of response would be far more acceptable to me at least.
I have two problems with this person, the fact that she didn’t say no to McCain implies that she didn’t have any idea what is involved in the job and to realize that she is not ready for such a responsibility. Indeed she said so herself. She let her ego become bigger than the well being of her fellow citizens. Secondly she has a very sarcastic style which I find disrespectful, lacking seriousness and off-putting.
Lastly, how is it that in a country as great as ours we cannot come up with better options. For the record, I’m voting for Obama. I respect his intellect and unlike what I keep hearing from the Republican side, whenever he is asked a question he responds with a coherent answer. On the issue of Obama’s experience, I have an extensive education and have served as executive administrator in some relatively large organizations; I believe that with intelligence and respect for others administration is easy.
