Guess that's okay, but I still feel that there may be more to it. It seems a bit too sudden, don't you think?

On what? He thinks it something that the Whitehorse took credit right after the crisis, while Goldberg thinks nothing of it. difference yes, they share there views on the subject.

I repeat, Hannity was being petty and Goldberg even pointed that out. Obama didn't seem to be taking credit at all, especially since he did thank the Navy seals for doing a good job. How is that taking credit by going to the public to let the American people know that all is well?

You seem to be the only one making an deal out of it. I really don't think an employer really cares when you have the DEGREE.

If you go to a bunch of schools, short term it's going to get asked about. They'll question why you kept changing them, unless, maybe, you're going for an English Teaching job where they're more concerned about the actual degree for "Visa purposes".

Do you get why you would go to an college? What's more important the DEGREE. you got it you completely that level of education REGARDLESS of how many colleges you go to. I will repeat myself YOU CAN TRANSFER CREDITS.

Transfer or not, it still looks bad to keep quitting schools just to go to another one. I still don't get why you can't see that. That's not showing consistency and it COMES ACROSS AS IF YOU HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME FINISHING WHAT YOU START. I'm not saying it does, but, it comes across that way.

My point is it is so pointless to attack someone so far back in there lives.

How am I attacking her? I'm stating an opinion. At no point did I say anything insulting. You're putting words in my mouth and "assuming". I'm just saying, it looks bad and may give off a negative impression of her and then her quitting as governor, just like with the schools, doesn't help matters much either, but, she did give a reason as to why she quit, but the way she did it is still off to me.

Stop it. Really who are to put yourself above her

I wasn't. Once again, you're making assumptions about me.

when it really is such an personal thing to balance raising HER children to her own career. What your saying her she has no right to pursue her own life until she raises that kid.

I didn't say that either. What I was saying is that seems that her son would come first and that doing a job that's incredibly time-consuming would come second, especially since the kid is a baby. I said the EXACT SAME THING FOR PALIN'S HUSBAND and hold him to the same standard. I don't see how anyone as a Vice President, with the possibility to become President could juggle that with a special needs child.

What's wrong with that, I'll tell you; she could very well being doing an good motherly job

No where did I say she was doing a bad one. Please stop making assumptions and twisting my words.

and by that you have NO right to tell someone that they cannot do something because you think they don't "spend" enough time with THERE children.

It would be written "their" and I said upfront, "imo" that both her and her hubby should be spending time with their son because of his age and probably shouldn't be taking on jobs that would keep them away from said child so much and so often since it's detrimental to proper childcare development.

Let me ask you, are you accusing her of child neglect, because that is what this is starting to read like?

Once again, you are twisting my words. Nowhere did I say Palin is a neglectful parent. All I said is that, to me, her child should come first, just like I said for her hubby. I said that if they are to take on jobs, it should be ones that won't be so time-consuming, because the child is an infant.

Would you being willing to say every women who has an job needs to quit in order to bound with the child?

The term is "bond" and once again, you are twisting my words. I never insinuated that. I never said women can't work or shouldn't work. I didn't even say "women". I said "parents' and last I looked, that usually consists of the mother and the father. I don't understand why you seem to have selective reading.

I'll say it again. IMO, PARENTSWITH YOUNG CHILDREN, ESPECIALLY AN INFANT - OR IN THE PALINS' CASE, A SPECIAL NEEDS INFANT - SHOULD NOT BE FOCUSING ON OCCUPATIONS THAT'LL TAKE UP THE MAJORITY OF THEIR TIME, AND BEING IN A POLITICAL OFFICE THAT HIGH, DEFINITELY WOULD.

Contradiction. Way say there is no problem going to different schools then, then say it's an red flag, shows inconstancy, etc?

It's a red flag if they were never finished, or if each school was attended for a short amount of time.

Look colleges are not about the going and "finish" the schooling there. They put you toward the Degree. There not high schools. You are also applying an stereotypical view on college going people to someone who didn't take the same route.

It's also supposed to teach one how to "tough it out" and to "stick to it" and to be "up to the challenge" and "discipline". Going to so many different schools, Palin was coming across someone who couldn't handle it. It's good that she did finally finish it, but why so many? I'm just telling how it looks, not necessarily how it is.

I repeat you can transfer credits, meaning it doesn't matter what college you go, as LONG as you GET the DEGREE.

Yes and no. If you have a job, quit it, get another one, quit it, get another, quit it, and then finally find a job and stay for a decent amount of time, it's going to look bad that all the previous jobs were short-term. The employer would probably think that you were a bad worker and fired or either you couldn't handle the job. What's to say that that person won't give you the same performance where it may resort to a firing or a quitting? That's why it looks bad that she attended so many different colleges, and didn't even finish them.
