SARA PALIN IS REFRESHING!

Sara Palin brought in a new face, a new way of looking at the issues. This is confounding to elder statesman, and especially the established media, who try interviewing her in the same old way. Inexperience with interviewers, with national politics should not be construed as not being intelligent, capable and competent. Sara has shown competence, ability to draw people to her who can fill in for her weak areas. What more do we need in a Vice President or President? Courage, willing to listen, being strong when needed, these are the character traits that a president needs.

Hillary Clinton probably spent a lot of money on clothing also. Was that reported? No, not in a negative way. We were shown that she had a choice of pant suits for a speech. No one questioned her spending on expensive suits, nor have they questioned Obama's spending on his clothes. Clothing for public appearances are not cheap. There is little time or ability to take care of clothing. Sara made the mistake of shopping for them herself.

Sara wears skirts, and that is so refreshing. Maybe Hillary decided that in order to come across as knowledgeable and experienced she needed to emulated men so she wears pant suits. Beautiful, expensive pant suits. How much has Obama spent? How much has Michelle spent? No mention was made. They are the media delights, not to be criticized for such petty items.

Sara is showing us that we can be feminine, be a normal women with children and still succeed. We don't have to emulate men. That is refreshing, and appreciated. She is showing us that we can be barracudas and proud of it. That we can be assertive, and not be criticized, that we can break the glass ceiling while maintaining our femininity. This resonates with a lot of women who have done the same and swallowed the same criticism.
