In December 2004, Michelle Obama said it would be “way too soon” for her husband to run for president in 2008, “he hasn’t done anything yet.”
And what has he done since then besides run for president?
Heck, in that same period of time, Sarah Palin announced her campaign for Governor of Alaska, knocked off the Republican incumbent in the primary, defeated a popular Democratic former Governor in the general election, reformed the state’s ethics laws, negotiated a complex natural gas pipeline deal which eluded her predecessors, held the line on state spending and earned the affection of he fellow Alaskans and respect of her fellow governors. And she’s just running for Vice President.
Senator Obama’s wife knows him better than most others. And she believes her husband hasn’t done anything.
Let’s hope the American people take notice.
That is such a great precis! I am printing it, and when someone makes a remark that Palin is a drag on the Republican ticket… or that Obama is this great guy… I will haul it out and read it aloud.
