During an interview with New York Times, Sarah Palin made firm implications about running for 2012 presidential election. Palin’s indicated that not only she considers running for a president but she confirms victory over Barack Obama. Despite all the criticism that a president receives for handling specific issues, Sarah Palin has been in spot light since 2008 and continues to receive many criticisms involving her creditability to govern a state or whether or not she expands her policy portfolio.
Palin’s discipline to govern a nation is not so stable as she continues to get challenged by negative speculations. Nonetheless, her celebrity life as hosting her own show and her daughter shaking her stuff on television does not really suites her character as a president. Not to mention when Palin was challenged by the speculations about ethics as running for VP she resigns from her position as a Governor of Alaska.
Another question that arises is where does Palin stand on her policies? Recently, Palin weighed in on the Federal Reserve’s action to print more money into the economy and mistakenly commented that inflation has been high where the truth is actually the opposite. When there is uncertainty in her statement and the fact it really questions her ability to be in the politics. I think she is more fit for authoring more books talking about things like “American Idol” than for a president.
America does not need a challenged fellow rather a challenger to run the nation. Not a celebrity who people care about its issues but a leader who cares about its people issues. We need the one with the confidence and deliberately decisive in nation's issues. Even if the media spotlight is on Sarah Palin’s consideration running for presidential election in 2012 I believe she has a better chance hosting more shows and not to worry about nation’s issues that she is not even deeply concerned about or even have a sense to comprehend the root of them.

Get Down To The Earth!
In response to Samantha Johnson’s post “Going Green”, I would like to add that we as a society are not taking initiatives to gather the crowd and focus on resolving this issue as efficiently as it can and must be done. If further neglected and or procrastinated the consequences that our future generation face will be devastating.
Before any issue possibly be considered imperative to respond to in a society, most of the time the question is what benefit one may receive for taking initiatives to act on resolution. As much as I’m in agreement of reducing our carbon footprints and saving energy, I have to disagree that we as society have even taken significant initiatives to draw more attention and /or show any short-term and long-term incentives to enforce “Go Green” acts. For instance, if plastic bags at a grocery store are still available at no cost what incentives do we get purchasing a re-usable cloth bag? To the date I still see more media advertising gas gushing trucks than the Hybrids or rechargeable battery operated cars. Not to mention that the cost to acquire a hybrid vehicle is inconveniently high priced than some of the new cars one can purchase for under $10K.
If giving away some coupon incentives to use cloth-bags at a grocery store or even purchasing hybrid or electric cars becomes affordable, our society will likely to be more engaged in “Go Green” acts and fostering eco-friendly system. Another way to strategically save trees is by actually using the electronic medium to process transactions in businesses and households. Utilize the Internet technology to send or receive receipts via email or to sign legal documents over secured encrypted databases than printing papers use electricity, trees, and improperly discarding toners in a land field.
Personally, I believe that there are far more complex issues that our society have faced and overcome before. A simple but yet very important issue such as reducing carbon footprints and changing our attitudes toward using renewable energy resources will be better pay off economically and environmentally. As much as we all talk about going green it is incumbent upon us to really act on it TODAY! It is our sole responsibility to adapt the eco-friendly environment today and get down to the earth!
