WTF

I shy away from using social-networking abbreviations (such as "LOL", "OMG", "RALMAO", "u r") while on Facebook. Yesterday, in response to the President's State Of The Union Address, the Half-Term Governor Palin used the acronym "WTF" in her round of interviews on Fox Noise.

Her ignorance of history is deplorable; e.g.: not knowing the meaning of "blood libel"; not knowing about North and South Korea being separate countries; not knowing of Sputnik's effect; not knowing that Africa is a continent and not a country; confusing tax cuts with TARP; not knowing the role of the Federal Reserve; not knowing the difference between tax cuts and spending cuts; and her ignorance about JFK and religion.

It is shocking that she obviously does not read. When she had the opportunity to help "bind up" the country's wounds after the Tucson tragedy, she unleashed another diatribe, via the internet, and made the issue all about herself!

How could any sensible person take her seriously? She is incurious, lazy, and undependable, yet she and her followers seem to celebrate her ignorance as being a badge of honor because it makes her "one of them". I want my President to be smarter than I am; I wouldn't want my President to be in a foreign country and not know its history; I wouldn't want my President to "throw in the towel" right in the middle of her/his term in order to enrich himself/herself.

Her use of the "WTF" acronym is not only vulgar, it is also NOT very "presidential"!
