Comparisons: Obama vs. Palin?!
So much has been said about Vice Presidential picks. How quaint that the raging comparison seems to be that between Senator Obama and Governor Palin. That comparison is between apples and oranges, or perhaps an apple tree and a single orange. In Anderson Cooper’s interview of Senator Obama (aired on Sept. 1, 2008), Obama highlighted the fact (not the spin) of the budget of his campaign being 3 times that of Palin’s Wasilla annual budget in one month alone. And what about Obama’s degrees from Columbia and Harvard, compared to Palin’s Journalism degree from U. of Idaho? And how charming that the woman who could be a heartbeat away from the Presidency and thus leader of the free world has traveled to a grand total of 3 countries, namely Germany, Kuwait and Ireland. Governor Palin is one man’s choice for running mate. Senator Obama has emerged from a gruelling national primary season.
Let the comparisons stop. I am sure Governor Palin is governed by a strong moral compass, with a compelling personal story.
So is my mother.
