Palin Says US Needs a Leader, Not a Law Professor

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin isn’t impressed with President Obama’s past experience as a law professor at the University of Chicago.

In a note posted yesterday on Facebook, Palin complained that Obama’s “fundamental approach to terrorism is fatally flawed," according to the CBS News blog Political Hotsheet.

"The real nature of the terrorist threat requires a commander-in-chief, not a constitutional law professor,” she wrote. She complained that the suspect in the Christmas day attempted bombing of a plane headed for Detroit, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, shouldn’t be treated as just another criminal defendant.

“Reports indicate that Abdulmutallab stated there were many more like him in Yemen but that he stopped talking once he was read his Miranda rights,” she complained.
