Opinion on an Opinion

The Metro ran an opinion piece last Friday about Sarah Palin's possible presidential bid. In many ways the writer of that piece stated many of mthe same ideas that I also have about Palin. Mainly, that she seems to have a lot of problems with how our country is run: without any solutions. How can someone that continues to have so much press coverage continue to miss the boat?

You'd think that with so much (unwarranted and somewhat undeserved) attention on Palin that she would come up with something useful to say. However, any time she opens her mouth we continue to be disappointed. The opinion piece went on to describe which Americans are most disappointed in Palin's lacking leadership potential. Enter the undecided, "Militant Middle." They are disenchanted with Republican policy conerning Big Business and lower taxes for the wealthy. On the other hand, they see the Democratic party as too eager to hike taxes and push ultra-liberal policies.

During a time when this lost and underrepresented demogrpahic needs a leader, none is to be found. That is to say that none has been found yet. I am all for giving Sarah Palin a chance to redeem herself. However, in light of her many public opportunities to push her agenda, she keeps letting me and those in 'the Middle' down. Where are your ideas for our bright, shiny new nation, Sarah? Until you give us some concrete solutions, your presidential future looks dim.
