Katie Couric was asking Palin what experience she had in foreign policy, and she was trying to tell them how Alaska monitors Russia, since they're only about 50 miles apart. The truth is, there are territorial islands that lie between Alaska and Russia that are only a few miles apart, and Alaska monitors those also.
But what foreign policy experience did Obama have?
Did anyone ever ask him?
Well, we've seen a few examples of his foreign policy.
Obama Foreign Policy

Sources say Obama was hoping to persuade the king to be ready to show reciprocal gestures to Israel, which Washington has been pushing to halt settlements with the goal of advancing regional peace and the creation of a Palestinian state.
"The more time goes by, the more the Saudi meeting was a watershed event," said the former U.S. official who recently traveled to Riyadh. "It was the first time that President Obama as a senator, candidate, or president was not able to get almost anything or any movement using his personal power of persuasion."
The former official said that Ross has told associates that Obama was "upset" about the meeting "because he got nothing out of it."
All that bowing and scraping for nothing...

Last year, in his first interview with Russian media, President Obama was asked, "What don't you like about yourself?"
The president responded, "I have been playing golf lately, and I don't like my golf swing."
The entire economy is crashing into the toilet and all he can think about is golf swing?
And when the underwear bomber was trying to blow up a plane over Detroit, Obama played golf and basketball, went snorkeling and to the gym, and ate at his favorite Honolulu restaurant. His wife and children went to the beach and entertained friends from Chicago.
As this Politico story notes, the Christmas Day bombing plot has shaken the Obama administration and his supporters, leaving the latter flummoxed. They can’t seem to understand the president’s clueless reaction, which verged on peevish resentment over the interruption to his vacation:
Over the course of five days, Obama’s reaction ranged from low-keyed to reassuring to, finally, a vow to find out what went wrong. The episode was a baffling, unforced error in presidential symbolism, hardly a small part of the presidency, and the moment at which yet another of the old political maxims that Obama had sought to transcend – the Democrats’ vulnerability on national security – reasserted itself.
