A worrisome statistic

A new poll says that 59% of Americans do not think that Sarah Palin would be an “effective” president.

Good God! What does this say about us? 15% don’t know. How can you not know? 26% think she could do the job. How can they think that? What the hell is wrong with them?

Since I am one who thinks that the president is more a figurehead than an actual leader, I suppose she could fit in the slot, everything scripted for her, decisions made and brought to her for approval. But she might actually take the job seriously, and try to get involved in things. But wait – that would be high comedy!

Count me among the 41%.

  1. Mark,

    Then you are truly among the first group – believing there exists a person “good enough” to be your ruler.

    All you really are is in a debate of who is the better demon.

    1. Oh come on now, Democratus. There are people capable of inspiring other people and working for the greater good. The problem is that they are generally not of the self-selected variety.

      I’m more for a Cincinnatus-type, called out of the fields to lead, does his job, goes back to the fields and back to his life.

  2. “26% think she could do the job.”

    These aren’t the people who watch Fox news, these are the people who watch late night Cinemax.
