Sarah Palin

Politics Daily:

Even on Thanksgiving Day, Sarah Palin found time to lash out at her political foes -- in this case the media for blowing out of proportion her gaffe on the Korean crisis.

In a Facebook posting, the combative Palin addressed a Thanksgiving message to "57 states" -- mocking a mistake President Obama made in his 2008 campaign as a way of arguing that the news uses a double standard.

Sarah, sweetie, it would only be a double standard if the lame stream media hadn't commented on Obama's gaffe and had done much more than mention yours.

The fact is that they treated  Read More...

Have you noticed that Sarah and her klan always have a comeback? Instead of supporting her "error" she again distracts from her ignorance by saying, "But Obama in 2008 said..." It's the new bagger way. They learn it from Beck's online course entitled: "But Obama 101."

How can Sarah be jealous of Obama and have a crush on the loser at the same time. She loves her husband and her family. She works very hard helps take care of her family. Not to mention she loves the outdoors. Hunter fisherman woman. SARAH FOR PRESIDENT 2012

I suppose it is a waste of time. Since she does it so well to herself, she certainly doesn't need any help.

I'm pretty sure Palin's North Korea mixup was a mistake. She's not smart by any definition that involves human comparisons, but she is not that dumb.

On the other hand, I don't think she understands the issues at hand in the U.S. foreign policy strategy on this situation at all. How should we integrate our strategy with other nations' agendas? How do we cooperate with S. Korea and other allies? What has been the history of American non-interventionalism (the underlying rationale, not just the facts) and how does this play into current strategy? I'd like a die-hard Palinite to convince me that (1) Palin actually does understand this or (2) why the leader of our country does not need to know this.

The woman is sooooooooooooooo jealous of President Obama it is soooooooooo obvious she can't hide it any more and she has a major, huge, gigantic crush on President Obama. It is like a cup runneth over. As a woman it is embarrassing doesn't her husband see this.

Ms Palin ignorace is quite astonishing to me. It's simply another case where her example makes no sense, well to everyone but her. The media knew that Pres Obama made a mistake, because he has been investigated thoroughly more than any Presidential canandate in history, so his intelligence isn't question when it comes to actually knowing how many states there are. Since she went back to 2008 to draw a comparison.. So, will I! What she fails to realize many of us don't come from these "Small Pockets" of "Real America" we read for ourselves. The reason it wasn't a mistake, because in her mind there is just Korea.. Lets go back to 2008,

Heilemann said that even after crash-course tutorials by campaign aides following the convention, Palin was still WOEFULLY UNINFORMED about basic policy issues. “[S]he still didn’t REALLY UNDERSTAND WHY THERE WAS A NORTH & SOUTH KOREA. Heilemann told the program’s Anderson Cooper. “She was still regularly saying that Saddam Hussein had been behind 9/11. This is PROOF why in her case it wasn't a gaffe...just another example proving she doesn't know anything!

Sarah, for a Christian gal who preaches responsibility and accountability, you sure do spend an awful lot of time blaming everyone else but yourself for your mistakes and ignorance. When are you going to get honest with God and America, and just admit that it's your fault, and you've really got a lot of work to do on yourself?
