Palin Would be In Charge of Energy Not Foreign Policy

Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour argues that Palin wouldn't have anything to do with foreign policy. Of course Palin wouldn't have anything to do with foreign policy --McCain isn't that crazy. Barbour says she would be the energy czar. McCain says so too. She's not even an expert on energy. 

What's more likely to happen is that under a McCain administration, the vice presidential office would become a public affairs office. Joe Lieberman, the guy who whispers in McCain's ear, would help out with foreign affairs. Palin would be a mouthpiece for oil.

Watch the video. Here's what else Barbour said: 
"She doesn't have a chip on her shoulder like some women politicians."

"Obviously in a McCain administration she will not have much of a role in foreign policy . . ."

"It is honest to say, though, if I live in the state closest to Russia, I probably have got more sensitivity. I live in a state on the Gulf of Mexico, I got more sensitivity to hurricanes than people in Kansas."
Based on those comments, I'd argue that Barbour isn't qualified to be governor. 

The question is, should the need arise, would Palin be able to take over as president and the answer is No way. No how.
