alaska the state we forget
Published Sep. 2, 2008
Before the name Palin came up I could care less about how Alaska worked because I knew I'd never live there, but since then I have changed my point of view. Alaska is one of the most important states in our union and with it's natural resources is the very reason the US decided to get it from Russia. What was Russia thinking when they sold it to us? I have also learned as governor of this state you are dealing with foreign policies on a daily basis. I have not heard of any conflicts involving Palin that wasn't solved since her governorship.
She has to deal with Russian military and commercial interests as well as the north pole waterway involving Finland, Canada and other countries on a regular basis so I think we can stop saying she has no experience with foreign policies. She's had more in this way than Obama ever saw and I bet Biden as well. It may not be the east policies but it's some experience and I'm sure she had to be tactful with it.
Thank you for letting me tell of the great things I'm learning about Alaska as well. I didn't know it was so important to America. Before you keep judging some one's experience read up on the way Alaska's government works. I was surprised to learn what I did.

Anyone is free to write what blogs they wish. I'm sure there are plenty more lies floating around about her and I'msure there are plenty more to be made up by the writer who is trying to discredit her. When I see this I take that info and then research it before I just blurt out the first web I see. Hope I'm back from the doc when it' up so I can learn some more. My education never stops, and I love learning.........
