(2008-09-03) — Sen. Barack Obama, the Democrat presidential nominee, reacting to the growing concern about Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s lack of foreign policy experience, today asked his staff in Washington D.C. to introduce legislation creating a $44 billion program to “teach girls about other countries.”
“My bill will not only help future female vice presidential candidates to get up to speed,” said Sen. Obama, “but it also addresses a larger problem. If Sarah Palin, a state executive and commander of the National Guard, doesn’t understand foreign policy, then imagine the vast ignorance of female voters.”
“Women are more than half of the population, and there millions of them out there that we’re counting on to pick our nation’s leaders,” Sen. Obama said. “If Sarah Palin is not competent to be one, how can we expect American women to be smart enough to pick one?”
