[Rhodes22-list] Political - Palin, Obama

[Robert Skinner]

Herb, I think that a person who has some oratory
skills will be a help in negotiations with the
international community.  They do not have the
anti-intellectual attitude that has been anything
but an asset as we interact with the world's best
brains.
