One thing, this discussion has given me a new respect for the President Elect. He did not have to use his father, uncle or college roomate to get ahead in politics. He did it on his own.

Oh, and these charges against Gov. Palin (did it on her own) were investigated and found to be groundless. They pale when you compare them with any of the Kennedys. I could list their "problems", but we all know them starting with how Joe Sr. got his fortune. How they have achieved sainthood status, just blows my mind.
