Palin Responds To Obama's State Of The Union Speech: 'A Lot Of WTF Moments' (VIDEO)

During an interview as surprising as a cold winter night in Alaska, Sarah Palin took issue with Barack Obama's State of the Union Address.

But TV stations in Anchorage still hire weather casters and Fox News still interviews Palin, who had some particularly harsh words on Wednesday.

"That was a tough speech to have to sit through and kinda' try to stomach, because the president is so off base in his ideas on how it is that he believes government is going to create jobs," said the former vice presidential candidate. "Obviously government growth won't create any jobs, it's the private sector that can create the jobs."

Host Greta Van Susteren had specifically asked for job creation options that differed from Obama's, but Palin decided to keep the focus on how much she disliked the president's.

"His theme last night in the State of the Union was the WTF -- winning the future," continued Palin. "I thought, 'OK.' That acronym? Spot on. There were a lot of WTF moments throughout that speech."

When asked if she agreed with what the president had to say about the "Sputnik moment," Palin identified the matter as one of those "WTF" instances. "He needs to remember that what happened back then with the former communist USSR and their victory in that race to space, yeah, they won, but they also incurred so much debt at the time that it led to the inevitable collapse of the Soviet Union," she said.

After Van Susteren kept pressing for specifics besides emphasizing the private sector over the public sector, Palin said she would cut funding for "fluffery" like the NPR and NEA, along with "Obamacare" and entitlement programs.

Asked about Michele Bachmann's response to the State of the Union, Palin indicated that she liked her speech, as well as the official GOP response by Rep. Paul Ryan, saying both "were really good and they were sound. They were sound because they were in opposition to president Obama's message."

Oh, great... cut NPR... cut anything that relates to intelligence, art, culture and level-headed journalism.
Maybe the gov should fund "dancing with the stars".

That was just the classiest comment ever uttered by a pseudo-celebrity pundit/has been politician. Can part of the US that respects this woman actually hate the other half of America?

Well, I'm not too bright either but I wasn't aware the Soviet Union "won" the space race. They got the first man up in space but we had the first man on the moon. I'd call it a draw. I wonder if she's aware most of the space race occurred back in the '60s, which would mean by her logic the collapse of the USSR took approximately 20 years or more.

Sarah needs a liberal advisor, to balance her conservative mind, which has tilted in one direction. Is the tea party influencing her, or she is influencing them?

When is the last time a sitting or former POTUS publicly spoke a swear word or an acronym that represents a swear word?

Saying 'WTF' equals a potty mouth but the leftist hypocrites did not have a problem with our Vice President saying ' This is a big f***ing deal' ??

Context, anyone? Was the VPOTUS being interviewed, on camera, speaking directly into a microphone with his remarks intended for broadcast? The fact that they know the words is not the issue, it's about when they feel it's appropriate to use them.

Please, please, tell me you really aren't THAT clueless with zero ability for critical thinking, are you? Oh wait, of course you are. You're defending Lady Blah Blah.

Building the knowledge and infrastructure for putting a satellite in space, paid off for all involved. I find it ironic that she sends her reporting from Alaska using satellites orbiting the earth.

[helioszephyr]

... or satellites orbiting her head.

That makes too much sense. Sarah takes whatever Obama reportedly says, or someone she perceives as slighting or criticizing her, and merely attempts to "refudiate" it, basically tacitly taking the opposite point of view, which explains how she missed the fact that she uses satellites every time she picks up the phone, text-messages, watches cable or satellite TV programming, etc. This from the same woman who thinks seeing a land mass from a distance makes one an expert on foreign policy.

Same goes for her blind followers, they wouldn't understand it if you sat down and explained the processes and all its components to them from beginning to end. The only way they would accept it as factual reality would be if Sarah said it on one of her recorded messages or Fox News appearances, but they still wouldn't understand or remember the concept for future reference or use. And they would also deny and argue against it if Sarah did a 180 degree shift and came out against it. Her followers epitomize brain-washed, sociopathic cult members who have ceased thinking for themselves and wouldn't know what to think if they didn't have a "leader" to give their thoughts to them. Funny, they sometimes try to deny the veracity of statements by anyone with whom they disagree by labeling them "Kool-Aid drinkers," (ala Jim Jones and his Jonestown Peoples Temple, Guyana tragedy) when it is they, their actions and statements that most resemble the term.

WTF? I mean, are we "winning the future" then - we must be if everyone can see Sputnik from their houses (even though they may or may not be really renting or being forclosed on or squatting because the tent cities are filled).
