Sarah Palin Twitters, Asks Obama To Answer 'Ground Zero' Mosque Questions


First Posted: 08/14/10 09:26 PM ET Updated: 05/25/11 06:20 PM ET

Sarah Palin took to Twitter and Facebook Saturday and demanded that President Obama explain whether or not he supports the decision by a Muslim Center's developers to build the facility near Ground Zero.

Palin's bursts of questioning for Obama came on the same day that the president told reporters that he supports "the right" to build the center, but would not comment on "the wisdom" to build it.

Palin seemed to understand Obama's position, but asked him to delve into the wisdom to build. She tweeted, "We all know that they have the right to do it, but should they? This is not above your pay grade."

First of all who helped her with her questions? Secondly, it's not a matter of if it's above his pay grade, it's a matter of "Big Government" as she and her fellow conservatives like to say, should interfere with a civil matter. Like I said many times before, Whether they should or shouldn't build this Community Center is not the place of the government or the president himself to interfere, unless they are not allowed legally to build it. Your personal opinions are irrelevant.

Those would argue that the Cordoba Mosque should not be built as planned, have shown a great amount of insensitivity towards all who've been harmed from the events of 9/11. They are the ones keeping this in the media, continuing to twist the knife and further the pain, while knowing there is no Constitutional ground on which THEY stand.

I remember Soviet Russia in the 60s and 70s, all comedians had to submit their material to state censors for approval prior to any performance.

That seems to be exactly what is happening to this topic.

For the sake of the party, I will plead guilty, confess my sins in public and try not to be snarky.”

“Despite her falling popularity , Palin keeps popping back up like one of those furry creatures in "Whack A Mole"

The fun part is, everytime she pops up, she gets thumped on again and again ...”

I'm sorry but I need to say this - Mrs. Palin is like a bit of flatulence which has delusions of smelling like a rose.

Palin is a condescending, uninformed, nattering talkinghead.

Sarah Palin tweets to Obama about the Mosque: "We all know they have the right to do it, but should they. This is not above your pay grade."

If you don't think she's dangerous, you're not paying attention. OF COURSE it's above his pay grade to take away someone's freedom to practice religion on land that they own! That's not in anyone's pay grade in the USA! Support this woman at the peril of our nation.

Ask Palin to answer questions about the results of her child-rearing skills.

Ask Palin why she does not seem to be spending very much time with her special needs child who she trotted out incessantly while she was campaigning.

Ask Trigg if he spent more time with mommy during the 2008 campaign or after she quit her reign as governor to spend more time with her family?

Ask Palin to share her college transcripts with the public.

Ask Palin who writes her talking points or if she's gleaning her ideas from the newspapers, magazines and journals she reads - "You know. All of them."

Ask Palin if she has a trade strategy for the country of Africa.

Ask Palin if she can name even one official from the Department of Law?

Ask Palin why (or if) Todd has left the Alaska Independence Party.

Ask Palin if she only speaks in tongues at her church or does she do so in her private or public life as well.

Sarah Palin should just stay out of this debate...especially when she was running for VP she said real Americans live in the Rural areas. Why would she give a flying hoot about New York city. Once again typical Republican flip flopper.

Sarah Palin should stay out of this debate and every debate. The woman had to go to 6 colleges in order to get her ONE degree in journalism. She finally manages to land one job that might have given her some prestige and quits in mid term. I think even Joe the Plumber is smarter than she is.

I'm sick of this. If Palin really cares so much about the families, why doesn't she direct her outrage toward those who shot down the bill that would have helped first responders get their healthcare costs covered? I think "stabs at hearts." Oh wait, I forgot that all she really cares about is attacking the president and parroting the right talking points.

She can see the minaret from her porch.
