"A Fine Mother and an Up-and-Coming Public Servant"?

That how Barack characterized Sarah Palin. Interesting, isn't it, that he would choose to emphasize her "motherhood" first, rather than her professional accomplishments. And as for being "up and coming" -- well, she's been accountable for more decisions in her term as governor than Barack's been in his entire political career.

Something about his description of Governor Palin reeks of condescension, and perhaps more. Well, at least he didn't call her "sweetie."
