Being Prepared to Lead VI

Here is Fareed Zakaria on Sarah Palin and John McCain in a Newsweek article, Monday September 27, 2008:

"Can we now admit the obvious? Sarah Palin is utterly unqualified to be vice president. She is a feisty, charismatic politician who has done some good things in Alaska. But she has never spent a day thinking about any important national or international issue, and this is a hell of a time to start...

In these times for John McCain to have chosen this person to be his running mate is fundamentally irresponsible. McCain says that he always puts country first. In this important case, it is simply not true."

It is clear that both McCain and Palin are simply not prepared to lead.
