Rookie United States Senator Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. planned to win the 2008 Democrat presidential nomination and then be elected in November.

One out of two is better than none.

Obama did NOT plan on his Republican opponent, war hero and veteran United States Senator John Sidney McCain's secret weapon: Sarah Barracuda, also known as Sarah Palin, the rookie Alaska governor and a former mayor who is a bit younger than Obama and much younger the Obama's running mate, veteran United States Senator Joseph Ropbinette Biden, yet has much more executive experience than the two of them put together.

Howard Fineman of MSNBC and Newsweek called Palin a "dangerous heat-seeking missile" aimed at the Democrats.

Dangerous for Obama and other Far Left Democrats, but a godsend to Democrats who do not share Obama's Marxist view of religion being something clung to out of bitterness over economic circumstances.

The fact is that the only one of the four Republican and Democrat presidential and vice presidential candidates, only one has any military experience and that's McCain.

The fact is that Palin has executive experience and neither of the Democrat candidates has executive experience.

Obama's political experience is strictly legislative. He lost a Democrat primary for a Congressional seat to a Black Panther and then became a partisan two-term Illinois state senator. The liberal Democrat establishment transformed him into a United States Senator and made him a national figure by designating him to read the keynote address at the 2004 Democrat national convention even before he was a United States. (He's a very able speech reader, but not a great debater, so he stopped debating veteran United States Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton as soon as it was politically possible.)

Biden's political experience is strictly legislative too. He served on the New Castle County Council from 1970 to 1972 and joined the United States Senate in 1973.

Pain has what it takes to stand up to the secular extremist smear machine intent on having the Obama/Biden ticket elected and she proved it big time in her sensational speech at the Republican national convention on September 3, 2008.

She was BETTER than great.

Wikipedia: "Palin attended Wasilla High School in Wasilla, Alaska, where she was the head of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter at the school, and the point guard and captain of the school's basketball team. She helped the team win the Alaska small-school basketball championship in 1982, hitting a critical free throw in the last seconds of the game, despite having an ankle stress fracture. She earned the nickname 'Sarah Barracuda' because of her intense play and was the leader of the team prayer before games."

No wonder the people who would put Justices on the United States Supreme Court who would strike "under God" from "The Pledge of Allegiance" are apoplectic these days.

Wikipedia:

"Barracudas... are harmless unless provoked....

"Being formidable hunters, they should be respected, as barracudas are perfectly capable of defending themselves against humans that harass them."

"Sarah Barracuda" is perfectly capable of defending herself, her family (including her special needs child whom she chose to deliver), her record, her values and her country.

Biden thuggishly (or was that Biden humor?) public reacted to veteran United States senator and 2000 Democrat vice presidential candidate Joseph Lieberman's speech endorsing the McCain/Biden ticket by inviting Lieberman (a much bigger man in personal stature, but a smaller own in physical stature) to the gym.

The problem for Obama/Biden is that people like McCain, Lieberman and "Sarah Barracuda" won't be bullied or cowed.

To those determined to force "Sarah Barracuda" off the Republican ticket: LIKE THE ELECTION OF OBAMA AS PRESIDENT, IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!
