More afraid of the known or the unknown?
Political “expert” Matt Damon has said, “I think there’s a really good chance Sarah Palin could be president, and I think that’s a really scary thing, because I don’t know anything about her, and I don’t think in eight weeks I am going to know anything about her.”
He is afraid because he does not know her. Does he know Joe Biden? I know Obama has not authored a major piece of legislation, is going to raise my taxes, and called a man who attacks people based on their race his, ’spiritual mentor.’ Now “that’s a really scary thing.”
He does make a bit of a valuable the point when he says he is not sure Palin can stand up to Putin, but the EXACT same thing is true of the whole Democratic ticket. Obama is going to say niet to Putin after telling Gergia to show restraint when invaded? Biden is going to have the political savvy to outmanuever Medvedev (who is the President of Russia, not Putin)?
The only dog in the fight who I know can push Putin and Medvedev is McCain. Why is Damon not wondering about them? Oh, that’s right, ‘community organizers’ deal with tough former KGB agents every day.
