Does Sarah Palin Really Think She Is Some Hero?

Now I am not some political mastermind by any means, but something seems very disturbing about Sarah Palin. Purely on business savvy alone, her resigning is ridiculous. I saw the interview she gave for Good Morning America while she was fishing... Her reasoning for resigning was due to all the extra scrutiny Alaska has come into since the Presidential race, the lawsuits for which "they won't find anything." In conjunction with the state's lawsuits, there are apparently personal lawsuits her and her husband are facing that could go on and on bringing them into bankruptcy. She is basically resigning because she wants to avoid dealing with it all. She spun her words saying that until she leaves, Alaska can't get anything done for their constituents. That is when her lame-duck/ riding the system diatribe came into play, making her seem like some hero for all Alaskans...for all Republicans? By her usual po-dunk shortness and phrasings she really does believe she has outsmarted the system.

It would be one thing if it were only say, 3 or even 6 months left in her tenure, but 18 months?? A year and a half of public service she was hired to perform--people had faith in her to render? All because there's a little more checks & balances from the rest of the country? COME ON! That is exactly what she was hired to do. Anyone can handle things when they are running smoothly. It is when the going gets rough that separates the men from the boys and demonstrates one's character, skill and know-how.

Boy, if the fellows at GM or Chrysler could be so lucky, or for that matter President Obama, for all the mess and scrutiny that has come around for them and the companies they run. Yes, all states, and the country, are essentially companies to be run, budgeted and guided through thick and thin; for better or worse.

As for reports now coming out about how Ms. Palin resigned for her family and how women have to make choices...it is B.S. She personally said nothing of the sort in the interview I saw, where Kate Snow, the reporter, used kid gloves with her and let Palin control the interview to speak freely without really being stopped and questioned.

Palin is no contender for President, or Vice President, or even their secretary. She has proven with her actions how she can't weather the storm. It is a shame. She missed a pristine opportunity to prove to her adversaries that she has the perseverance and tenacity to warrant being in any position of high authority, much less running a country.
