I keep on noticing that many Palin supporters are saying that she has more experience than Obama. Can you back this up with sources, reputable links and facts please... because I have read both of their biographies and it seems like Palin's resume doesn't even compare. Am I missing something here? Sarah Palin: -Graduated from the University of Idaho in 1987 with a bachelor's degree in communications (attended 5 different university's and junior colleges in the meantime) -1989-1992 worked as a sports reporter for KTUU-TV and KTVA-TV -1992-1995 Wasilla, AK city council (then population of approx 6,000 people) -1996-2008 Wasilla, AK mayor - late 2003-2004- Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission - 2006-current -Governor of Alaska Barack Obama: -1983 graduated with a BA from Columbia -1984 worked for a year at the Business International Corporation and then at the New York Public Interest Research Group -1985 -1989 worked as a community organizer in the south side of chicago (population of 2,836,658) - 1988-1991- Attended Harvard Law and graduate in `91 with a Juris Doctor (J.D.) magna cum laude - Directed the project vote in 1992 -Beginning in 1992, Obama taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School for twelve years -1993, joined Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland, a twelve attorney law firm specializing in civil rights litigation and neighborhood economic development, where he was an associate for three years from 1993 to 1996 -He served from 1993 to 2002 on the board of directors of the Woods Fund of Chicago -State legislator, 1997?2004 -U.S. Senator, from 2005-current If anyone can give me something that I left out, please do so. Im comparing a VP to a Pres because everyone else is and I'm trying to prove a point here, not to mention she is a heartbeat away from becoming president, so yes I think it's paramount (as Sarah would say) to look deep into her resume (more...)

People in Iowa eat both corn and potatoes. Yet almost no farmers grow potatoes in Iowa (though it is technically possible for them to grow both corn and potatoes). Instead, every year, the people from Iowa export corn and import potatoes from Idaho, where farmers specialize in potatoes. Which of the following principles of economic interaction best describes this scenario? Is it (gains from trade) or (Resources should be used as efficiently as possible to achieve society's goals).

*I did not do this research 1980 - 1984 Obama: B.A. in political science with a specialization in international relations from Columbia University. Palin: Wasilla High School, captain of the state-champion basketball team. Miss Wasilla, runner-up in the Miss Alaska pageant, also Miss Congeniality, although that is now disputed. 1985 - 1990 Obama: moved to Chicago; became a community organizer as director of the Developing Communities Project (DCP), a church-based community organization on Chicago's far South Side. During his three years as the DCP's director, its staff grew from 1 to 13 and its annual budget grew from $70,000 to $400,000, with accomplishments including helping set up a job training program, a college preparatory tutoring program, and a tenants' rights organization.

Brief stint as a sports reporter for local Anchorage television stations; left to join her husband in commercial fishing. 1991 - 1995 Obama: graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School; received contract and advance to write a book ("Dreams from my Father") as well as a fellowship at the University of Chicago Law School. Directed the Illinois Project Vote from April to October 1992, a voter registration drive with a staff of 10 and 700 volunteers that achieved its goal of registering 150,000 of 400,000 unregistered African Americans in the state, leading Crain's Chicago Business to name Obama to its 1993 list of "40 under Forty" powers to be.

Town budget, $8 million (3 millionths of the Federal budget), approximately 100 employees. Reduced property taxes but increased sales taxes. Fired the Wasilla police chief, citing a failure to support her administration. (He then sued Palin on the grounds that he was fired because he supported the campaign of Palin's opponent, but his suit was dismissed when the judge ruled that Palin had the right under state law to fire city employees, even for political reasons.) Hired a DC lobbyist to bring $27 million in earmarks to the city. Wasilla had zero debt when she entered office but she left it with indebtedness of over $22 million, including $15 million-plus for construction of a hockey center which was built on a piece of property that the city didn?t even have clear title to, a matter that is still in litigation. Attempted to ban books from the city library. 2001 - 2004 Obama: reelected in 2002 and became chairman of the Illinois Senate's Health and Human Services Committee. Publicly spoke out against the invasion of Iraq BEFORE the congressional authorization in 2002, and then again before the actual invasion in 2003. Wrote and delivered the keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. November 2004: elected to the US Senate, receiving over 3.5 million votes, more than 70% of total.

Chairman of the Senate's subcommittee on European Affairs. As a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, made official trips to Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia and Africa.

Palin: 2005: board member, Valley Hospital Association, which runs the Mat-Su Regional Medical Center in Wasilla. Became youngest and first female Governor of Alaska, taking office in December, 2006.

Formed a sub-cabinet group of advisers to address climate change but does not accept that it is man-made. Objected to listing polar bears as an endangered species because it might hurt oil and gas development in the bears' habitat. Was for the bridge to nowhere before she was against it. However, Alaska kept the federal money. Denied her daughter was pregnant before she confirmed it. Supported abstinence-only education.Currently under a bipartisan investigation for abuse of power for dismissing Alaska's Public Safety Commissioner. continuation: Commander-in-Chief of the Alaska National Guard, but has played no role in national defense activities, even when they involve the Alaska National Guard. (The entire operation is under federal control, and the governor is not briefed on situations.) Obtained her first passport in 2007 to perform visits to the Alaska National Guard in Kuwait and Germany. (Foreign experience so limited that a stopover in Ireland listed on her resume.) Let me tell you what I got from this: Obama is NOT inexperienced. He has done a LOT and has shown a lot of potential. I posted this because of republicans thinking Palin had the same amount of experience as Obama. They are blatantly wrong. IF YOU DIDNT READ THE INFORMATION KINDLY SHUT YOUR MOUTH. IF YOU ARE HONESTLY SO BLIND AS TO NOT SEE THE SITUATION THEN YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO EVEN ATTEMPT TO DEBATE ANYTHING, EVER. I AM TYPING IN CAPS TO GET YOUR ATTENTION SINCE YOUR TOO LAZY TO READ ANYTHING ELSE. Honestly guys, executive experience doesn't mean jack shit, especially less than 2 years of it. I'm getting a little tired of that point. (more...)

I know...random states, but my husband is looking to go into PhD programs in all of these states and I am interested in attending a cosmetology school wherever we end up. I would like to go to a school that is ATS accredited and has an Associates degree in specialized areas and not just a general "cosmetology degree". I currently have a BA in Philosophy, but I am looking to possibly get into the wedding consulting business and feel that cosmetology would be a great service to offer and then build a consulting business on.
