Palin Tea Party Speech

I was disappointed that there was no mass exodus of the crowd at the tea party event yesterday when she said, "We need a commander-in-chief, not a professor of law at a lectern."  She was criticizing Obama's foreign policy, trials of terrorists, and said that the Islamic Fundamentalists see that and will take advantage of it.
During the speech she made references to Ronald Regan and his leadership.  Judging by what I know of her policy positions she would closely identify as a Bush conservative as well, at least on foreign policy matters.

So I suppose her idea of a commander in chief is a former actor who was president at the end of the Cold War?  Or perhaps a Texas oilman who led us into a misguided and mismanaged war in Iraq?  I'll take professor of law who hires a good secretary of defense over the former two any day.
