I was just thinking Americans voted for Bush twice and then almost half voted for McCain/Palin in the recent election. A few scary years for the U.S if Obama does not deliver.

I know most people say this will never happen however after seeing Americans voting for Bush a 2nd term this could be a real possibility.

People are saying the world could end in 2012 Obama or Palin could be responsible for the end of the world.

It will not happen, although I'd prefer her to Obama.

No. I'm more afraid of the current administration.
Better an idiot who supports freedom than an intellect who denies it.

I doubt very much she will make it to the nomination… However, with that said, we all know now, how much better we would have been had McCain/Palin won in November.

We all see what a monumental mistake voting emotion rather than with your brain is… and continues to be.

Firstly, although I think McCain and Palin are not the best choice for the US, they would most definitely not end to any huge disasters or the end of the world. in reality, the president doesn't make as much difference as most people believe, due to congress still having the majority of power. I also don't think Palin would ever be chosen as president.

The scary thought is Obama winning reelection.

That would be positively terrifying.

not afraid, i'd vote 4 her

I wouldn't be afraid, actually I would be happy and hopeful if she does.

Obama promised unemployment wouldn't rise above 8% if he won, guess what Obama?? It's at 9.5% and rising.

Oh and his great stimulus?? Yeah, he spent $380k per job created for a total of 150k jobs created, most of which, are government jobs that contribute nothing to sociey except raising taxes on an already poor economy. good job.

Lastly, he keeps apologizing to nations that openly hate America, yet, that hasn't changed their opinion of us, hmmm…go figure.

She would make a LOT better President than Obama.

I'd vote for Palin before I'd ever vote for Obama! she is a true American, a true Christian, and a real person, not just masquerading as one!

Palin's political career came to an end the day she quit yet another job !!
The same people that still support her are the same group of die hards that wouldn't admit Bush was doing great harm with his two wars and tax cuts for America's wealthiest, lining the pockets of the ultra rich,

Bush had an expert PR team and wasn't a flake like Palin. seriously, Palin doesn't have a chance to capture any of the independent votes she needs to win a national election. anyway, I guarantee you that Palin will never become president.

She keeps loosing and dropping off her job. Oh yeah were really worried.

If you want to know why the rest of the world is scared of Americans, consider the fact that after two terms of disastrous rule by a small-minded egomaniac, 46% of America thought the problem was that he wasn’t stupid enough.

Palin’s endlessly baffling evasive incoherence should have disqualified her for a job in the drive thru at Wendy's, let alone placing her one erratic heartbeat away from a the most powerful position in the world.

The press strains to feign respect for her, lionizing her as a “great speaker” when her speeches are mainly a litany of insults to city-dwellers and bogus sexism charges.

A male Palin would have been burned alive for the Couric interview alone. in the end, Palin 2012 would have the beneficial effect of splitting her party between her admirers and people who can read.

well the world would end for me because i'd kill myself.

If the world comes to an end in 2012, it could be very well Obama's fault. He's too easy with our enemies. they will end up walking all over us or destroying us. Palin on the other hand could be too strong with our enemies and we could have world war 3. either way I guess it will be the end of the world in 2012. so enjoy your life now. who really knows what tomorrow may bring.

LOL. Palin has turned the tables on the MSM.

She simply said…."Can't beat 'em, join 'em".

She's going to hit the Speech, Talk-show rotation and the MSM is going, inadvertently, turn her into one of the wealthiest women in the US.

Your question seems to validate that it is already having an affect.

Don't be scared, Daddy's here.

I was with you right up to the "end of the world" part

No, I am not concerned in the least that Sarah Palin has even a shot at getting the nomination, let alone the presidency.

There is really no chance of that happening. After her latest quiting fiasco in Alaska, there is no way she could make it through a republican primary. they will expose her in a second. All anyone has to do is point out she has no experience and couldn't even get through her first term as governor of the 48th least populated state. she thinks the democratic smear machine was tough.. wait until she has to run against another prominent republican like Mitt Romney…. no… she has very little shot a the presidency any more. Her first step to getting back to a serious presidential bid would be to get back into public office somewhere, and complete a term.

Given the moves she has made recently, one can only conclude that she doesn't want to ever run for president. but is instead ready to use her celebrity for a self-serving money grab. Not that I blame her for that. she will make a better life for herself this way. I wish she would just stop lying about doing it for the good of "the state" or "the country". Just be honest and maybe I would respect her a little more.

Edit:
"almost half voted for McCain/Palin in the recent election"

Now come on… you know that's not really an 'accurate' statement of the facts.

Americans did NOT vote for Bush twice. in 2000, Gore received more of the popular vote. That election was given to Bush by the Supreme Court.

Despite her popularity, I don't think Palin has much appeal except to the right wing of the GOP. Indpendents will never go for somebody who is such a religious nut, especially since we just got rid of one.

The world is not going to end in 2012. That idea comes from religious whack-jobs.

I'm praying she does.

From what is happening with the rapid formation of the one World Govt and ancient predictions that accurately fit exactly what we are seeing I fear we will not have a free country any longer.News has been capped on the subject & now Talk Radio is under legal pressure to keep shut about how bad corruption is & the format of the OWGvt like it or not the seven yr reign of the Devil is upon us, but the good part is Christ will take real Christians up & out of harms way just prior to it.Do not receive their chip, see Rev.13 in Scriptures

I think the DC fat cats have built up a massive hate campaign against Palin as they are afraid of her. What are they truly afraid about? Her stand on abortion? no, she has already stated that if she were elected she would never move to change the way things are. is it that she is a woman? is it her family?
No. What they are truly afraid of are things like selling off the private plane that belonged to the former governor of Alaska and balancing the budget as well a major league cuts of all the frills and spending.
The perks and really cool trips that members of the house and senate take on our tab would be things of the past. the fancy dinners, cocktail parties and things they all love and hold dearly would be gone.
They are in great fear of her.
She is a practical no nonsense person who fired the housekeeper and cook at the governors mansion as she said her family could take care of themselves and she proved it. All the frills that were park of that job before were gone. so, do you think the DC fat cats want Sarah? no way, they are scared to death that she will actually be the hope and change that we the people truly need.
Do not believe the hate mongering.
And, by the way, isn't it particularly childish to bring up Bush again and again, it so 8 years ago. A dead issue. the American public voted for someone that people thought was doing a decent job at the time. Anything Bush did that was good was hidden and ripped to shreds by the liberal media.
Please stop being a sheep and believing everything they tell you and think for yourself. Watch more than one news channel and truly listen to both sides of each issue. Grow up people.

dont believe shes interested in the job anymore

SHE WOULD BE BETTER THAN THE BUFFOON WE HAVE NOW.

To say that Palin who is stepping down from the office of Alaska governor by the end of the month, could somehow become responsible for the end of the word 2.5 years from now, is to invite questions as to your credibility.

Obama is the President and has quadrupled the national debt in 5 months and more that was racked up by Bush in 8 years. IF the leader of one country could bring about the end of the world in 2.5 years, he would be more the candidate and not Palin who is fighting for SMALLER government and a more conservative approach versus a radical nose-dive into Socialism and an immoral sell-off of our children's future into a world of debt that is headed for collapse.

Your question is so political, however, you will get responders for and against. I sense you are wanting to express an opinion rather than ask a serious question. but to answer how you posed it — NO — I am not afraid that Palin could become President in 2012. Please educate yourself more on the rise and decline of nations and compare what she has been doing in her state with what Obama did in his former state and is now doing to the whole of the U.S. Like many who are waking up to this incredible river of debt and bailout mania that Obama has sponsored, it is my HOPE that Palin or someone with her stance on government (it needs to be smaller / not bigger at our expense) will take the reins from Obama who is completely ruining this country and driving it straight into the ground.

Yes I'm with you. wqe need LIBERAL leadership for the rest of eternity. i'm enjoying this double digit employment! I like the fact that my paychecks are HALF of what they were a year ago. Hope and change!!!

She has no chance. the US got to know Palin during the 2008 campaign and have already given her the signal of their disapproval. she appeals to a small percentage of the far right wing and that is no where near enough to be a legitimate contender for the POTUS for 2012. also her latest actions further hurt her not only in the eyes of the majority of US people but also it hurt her politically within the GOP.

Based only on Palin accomplishment and track record in her home state of Alaska … I would say she sounds ten times more competent than Obama and Bush united. she has more hands on experience than the Jr. senator from Illinois (who never read any bill before voting) and would spare us the hypocritical political jargon we are being fed on a daily basis by these glorified lawyer turned politicians.
I d rather crap be called crap than a "healthy BM" … to be politically correct of course!
I would trust Palin when she'd say "I promise you" rather than Obama saying "I promise you" … in fact Palin WOULD say that … Obama ? Never so plainly. he would always find a way to make it sound like a promise without ever being a promise.

I think that Sarah Palin has fairly effectively ruined her political career.

Are you afraid Palin could become President in 2012?
