Remember when NPR fired Juan Williams because he wasn't "left" enough? How long until his new bosses at Fox News give him the boot for not toeing the Saint Sarah line? We might see soon, since Williams made it clear on Sunday that he thinks Sarah Palin isn't quite up to the task of taking on the Prez.

Williams spoke on a panel discussing potential 2012 Republican Party candidates, when he let loose with the following:

"It's telling to me, again, you're talking about Mike Pence from Indiana, you talk about a charisma gap, y'know, charisma-challenged people. There's nobody out there except for Sarah Palin who could absolutely dominate the stage and she can't stand on the intellectual stage with Obama."

    Sarah Palin can MAYBE compete intellectually w/my 3-1/2 yr old granddaughter!. I said MAYBE!
    You cannot use the word Intellectual in the same sentence w/Sarah Palin! She tries so hard, to no avail! She is dumb! That is the only word for her. She may be shrewd, but she is dumb! I can see her talking to some head of state and saying "You betcha" - let's face it! SHE HAS NO CLASS!!!!!

    Sarah Palin may well be a darling of conservatives, but she lacks the appearance of intellectual strength and knowledge. That may be an incorrect perception of Palin but it certainly is the prevailing view. Obama is an egghead and woefully incompetent, as demonstrated by his 2 years in office to date. Neither deserve the support and votes of Americans. The countdown to correcting the error of Obama is underway, but Sarah Palin is not the solution and hopefully she will not be a candidate for POTUS.

    Surely, this is a joke! The President has to be prepared to take the world stage! Sarah Palin plays fast and loose with the truth and if we're ever crazy enough to make her President, she'll be taken seriously. We know where she stands on soccer moms and we know what she thinks about the government's role in assuring that kids eat healthy (she's against it) , we know she's good at sound bites, but what do we know about her politics? Very little!

    Is she aware that to be President she'll have to do more than make speeches on Fox? Or, that she would have to be President of the entire country, and not just the Tea Party or the people she likes? Sarah has neither the temperment nor the intelligence to be President. I don't think she could stand up to one third of the scrutiny Obama does or handle it gracefully.

    I constantly hear rhetic about how intelligent Sarah is etc. but like the elusive yeti I've never actually "seen" it. How long before you people realize that the Empress has no clothes?

    Well, first I had to stop laughing so hard to be able to type....your first mistake was putting the two words together...Failin Pailin and Intellectually.....what? They do not go together at all...kinda like Tea baggers and Dentists.....it just is not right......let's see here....intellectually? Well the last I looked ole Failin Pailin was beating to death a Hallibut fish with a club.....ehhh I think we better wait till at least evolution catches up with her. But, to her credit she has mastered some two to three syllable words...."You betcha"

    What can anyone tell us about the intellect of the 1st 30 Presidents? This country is getting so screwed up it's ridiculous. A president's job is to keep the country safe, keep the economy rolling and to make sure the constitution is followed. I could care less if any President ever graduated from the 6th grade as long as they have the courage and knowhow to do the 3 job requirements above.

    Sarah Palin has common sense and Christian values. Sarah Palin can run circles around Obama because she has the ability to think outside the box and has her feet planted firmly on the ground does not need to rely on the teleprompter. She has been studying foreign policy, economics, and current events. She is ready for the gotcha interviews. She is aware and on guard for human nature and party corruption. She has proper values and principals, knows how to make governments work efficently as possible, and to restore America to the constitution, honest values and strong principals. Obama is so focused on his communist agenda, he doesn/t see anything or anybody else...He is under imense pressure to get George Soros and all's agenda in place before too many realize what is happening.

    I am sick of hearing about going back to the constitution.
    It was flawed and needs to be where we are moving foward.
    Obama can do great speaches. He wrote most of his words years ago.
    Palin sounded great when the was introduced at the GOp.
    She couldnt write like that.

    TOTALLY agree!! True intelligence is not based fully on IQ. ACADEMIA have the wierdest and UNGODLIEST track record of ALL groups. While they overwhelmingly support secular progressive, left leaning pure malarkey on steroids (i.e....present regime) REAL intelligence seeks honest solutions to real problems. All the JOB KILLING cap & tax ideas, oil drilling bans, wretched so called 'health plan' ( 17% economy) policies are NOT supported by INTELLIGENCE, but pure INSANITY.
