Heh. Is there nothing that Obama can’t do?
You know, for as politically inconseqential as our betters in media tell us Sarah Palin is, I can’t help but notice how much coverage she generates.
It reminds me why I always correct those who describe me as a “citizen journalist”. I don’t consider myself a journalist, never have, and this post illustrates the distinction very well.
When mainstream media declares someone to be inconsequential, they write over 4,600 stories about them.
When I consider someone to be inconsequential, I don’t write any at all.

the loopy left or any other critics of the left. Instead of just bashing us for no apparent reason. You could start answering questions directly.
My question is related to this post. Why would Sarah Palin make a good president: she’s really stupid and ignorant: Afghanistan is our neighbour?? Getting duped by a couple of Franch language radio hosts from MOntreal (didn’t hurt their career though), and can’t even answer a simple question like what does she read?
Went to five or six different colleges? Why? She flunked out?
Shouldn’t a world leader of a super power have education, be well read and know their geography and history?
Your tax dollars at work.
This vile filth was originally posted by Mallick on the CBC though either shame or public pressure forced them to remove it:
http://www.heathermallick.ca/cbc.ca-columns/a-mighty-wind-blows-through-republican-convention.html
“Palin has a toned-down version of the porn actress look favoured by this decade’s woman, the overtreated hair, puffy lips and permanently alarmed expression. Bristol has what is known in Britain as the look of the teen mum, the “pramface.” Husband Todd looks like a roughneck; Track, heading off to Iraq, appears terrified. They claim to be family obsessed while being studiously terrible at parenting. What normal father would want Levi “I’m a f***in’ redneck” Johnson prodding his daughter? ”
favill and lc bennett – I agree with both your comments – very nice.
I think that Palin is more important to America and Americans in her current role outside of office and candidacy. She’s moved to representing America – the constitutional America, small business America, everyday Americans.
She doesn’t represent the Republican Party, or the Democrats or any partisan group. She’s speaking out for ‘just folks’, for Americans. This is vital.
The socialist democrats, and Obama, who lives in his own totally virtual world of unreality found only in his rhetoric…they don’t represent America or the real world of America. They live in a floating world of unreality, made up only of their words. Truly, they fit in with: ” Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”
Palin is astonishing in her open frankness. She doesn’t speak in ‘political-ese’; she doesn’t say something that sounds, at first, as it does slipping from Obama..OK, and then, when you parse it, you find it is utterly meaningless and floats in the air distant from reality.
Her words are ‘concrete’; they are attached to reality.
I think that Palin’s role in the next two years is to speak, everywhere, in public, representing the American people. Not a political party. The people.
The Democrats and left are going to go apocalpytic.
Elizabeth,
I have no doubt that she “could” do a great job running the country, but if we could fast forward to the end of Sarah’s life, I believe that if she is really serious about her stance on the family and her relationship with God (just like my father nearing the end of his life at almost 80) she wouldn’t be wishing she would have spent more time at the Oval Office but spending time with her family.
This issue is where true conservatives may not be in favour of Sarah Palin being the POTUS. This is more of the “you-go-girl” attitude which most conservatives find repulsive. Knowledge and wisdom are two different things. Does she have the qualifications?-Yes! Would it be wise to abandon (not totally) her newborn and attempt to run the world’s greatest superpower, that is the real question?
I challenge you to find and ask anyone with a special needs child what it would be like to be doing what Sarah Palin is doing. Look them straight in the eyes and read their soul. You may not be so quick to get behind her and push!!!
T
If I made a derogatory statement about BO’s race, say calling him the N-bomb you’d agree that the statement ignorant and hurtful. Yes?
So, surely you can see that calling a woman a “bimbo” is every bit as ignorant and hurtful. Agreed?
Politics aside T, if or when you become a parent I believe you will be embarrassed by the derogatory statement you said today. I’m not preaching, we all say stupid isht; but I’d like you to consider what you’d say to your daughter if she read your comments. There is plenty of meat on the bone if you’d like to argue the merits of her views. JMO
glacierman: She has a huge family and obviously her special needs son is well taken care of and she loves him dearly.
Why do you ignore the father’s role in all of this? Should Obama leave the oval office solely because his kids are under 18?
ps her youngest is not a newborn – he is 1 and a half.
by using the phrase “true conservatives” – are you implying that those who think that it is perfectly fine for women (and men) with children to run for office or anything else are not real conservatives?
Of course the attacks are personal.
Her principle message is that out of control government and its spending is hurting America. A point that simply can’t be argued with. A point that is virtually self evident to an increasing plurality of Americans.
What’s remarkable is how the sinking ship media thinks attacking her wardrobe and looking into her dauther’s sex life will somehow invalidate this basic message.
My copy of “Going Rogue” just arrived. It reads well.
It is listed as #1 book on Amazon!!!
Re “glacierman”s comment about running the world’s greatest superpower: we’ll see how long it remains
a superpower. The mills of the gods are already grinding. American military thinking is based on
absolute aerial supremacy. I have read somewhere that the last time an American soldier was killed
by an enemy aircraft was in 1956. The F-15 is
a great aircraft, but it is obsolescent, and has
not fared well in mock combat with the latest
Russian fighters in the Indian Air Force (this
Sarah Palin knows well, because the commander of
a USAF squadron based in Alaska complained about
it in the Anchorage Daily News). Yes, the F-22
probably can handle the Sukhoi adn Sukhoi/HAL aircraft in the works,
but the unspeakably obscene
present US administration is going to shut down
the production line. Not only won’t there be enough F-22s,
but it won’t be quick and easy to get the production line going again. What will happen to the F-22 design team is anyone’s guess.
I know she was only on the VP ticket but consider the job Obama has done domestically and internationally and then consider if Palin had been President for the past year.
Would the US be in a better place or a worse place?
CK,
On your post about knowing geography and history:
Geography:
B.H. Obama: “I’ve visited 57 states”…
Palin:
1) The rumour that Palin didn’t know that Africa wasn’t a country…was a lie (it was fiction)
2) The comment “I can see Russia from my house” was made by Tina Fey (an actress) in an SNL skit
–just for clarification Sarah Palin mentioned in a news interview that there is an Alaskan island from which you can see the Russian mainland.
History:
B.H. Obama: is enacting legislation and policies much like those enacted by FDR (Franklin Delano Roosevelt)–which historians now claim PROLONGED the Great Depression. Is acting like Neville Chamberlain (PM of Britain who appeased Hitler’s claim to Czechslovakia’s Sudentenland)–by pandering to all the world’s dictators.
Sarah Palin: wants to enact policies and legislation like Pres Reagan did, which started the greatest sustained rise in the US economy. Policies which brought about the demise of the Soviet Union and the failure of Communism in Europe.
Does being well read mean reading Smith’s “The Wealth of Nations”, Plato’s “Republic”, Sun-Tzu’s “The Art of War”, Machiavelli’s “The Prince” and the Bible? Or does it mean reading and inculcating Marx’s “The Communist Manifesto”, Keynes’ economic theories, subscribe to the multi-cultural dogma that all cultures are the same and Hitler’s “Mein Kampf”? So just for the lefties who probably never heard of the first set of books…these books have proven over the course of history to actually work. The theories and ideologies in the second set of books again proven by history do not work.
Ulianov,
comparing Obama’s newshits to Palin’s and declares newsworthyness is “relative”.
Correct you are. Comparing a man with his hand on the levers of the world’s greatest power whose decisions directly and indirctly affect billions, with a private citizen who holds no position of power whatsoever, speaks volumes about her “relative” strength….and her potential to gain that power.
I find it funny. Some people have made comments about Palin’s church.
Yet just look at Obama’s…. I mean REALLY.
God Da*m America.
Nothing more needs to be said.
Obama said judge me by whom I associate with. THAT says it all, too.
I wonder how many independents are wishing they could change their vote right about now.
Nice summation ‘ET’. SP is talking to the average person about the common sense issues.
“I will buy her book, read it and pass it around”.
You are right ‘Elizabeth’. The baby is not going to be forgot about, has a father, older brother and sisters, grandparents and uncles/aunts.
“You don’t write about people you think are inconsequential?
A bit disingenuous, Kate. After all, you’ve written about Monsieur Viande de la Chat, Count Iggy, and various other non-entities at length. I understand your point, though.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I’d challenge that a large portion of what Kate writes is about characters she would deem to be “inconsequential”.
I don’t believe in coincidences.
6:00pm Obama ends his feud with FOX News and grants Major Garrett an interview.
9:00pm Sarah Palin is interviewed by Hannity on FOX News.
I don’t believe in coincidences.
Mark Peters @ 8:27 a.m.: “Having said that, Palin is the wrong candidate for the 2012 White House, that’s for sure.”
Maybe . . .
But also for sure is that Obama’s “the wrong candidate for the . . . White House” and that’s right now!
Political candidates are usually not the best of the lot. That considered, I’m willing to give Sarah Palin a lot of slack. We could do FAR worse: in fact, we are, as we endure the Obama trainwreck.
Go, Sarah, go!
John – yes, that was interesting. The Hannity-Palin interview was talked about as forthcoming for days and days. And then, suddenly, Obama, on his Asia trip, drops his feud with FOX News and sits down for an interview.
To be aired on the same day as Palin-Hannity. Heh.
The White House is worried; they are getting a LOT of criticism…
How about Obama suddenly talking that ‘debt reduction is the most important agenda’? How’s that from someone who is the greatest cause of deficit production in the history of the US?
Palin-Beck 2012 ? “Lame Stream Media”? . You have to admire her for not being afraid of playing the game hard and playing well.
John Lewis
Don’t despair about the F22 (a costly interim design)…..OBOZO had only one option to end that program and that was to fund the next edition…the F35.
In the interim, don’t despair….a good man can work well with any tool….it’s the talent pool that counts. In any engagement, many factors arise which decide the outcome more than just hardware….such as circumstances and tactics.
Late 1930’s…The Flying Tigers with P40’s decisively triumphed over A6M’s(zeros) despite massive performance and logistic differences.
1939, over Poland the Polish Air force exacted an exchange rate of over 1.5/1 against the Luftwaffe—despite being out numbered vastly—the factor which decided the matter.
1940, out numbered, facing fighters which out-performed and out-gunned them the RAF exactely a terrible toll.
1944-45, the Luftwaffe lost many ME262 jets to Spitfires, Tempests and Mustangs……Chuck Yeager bagged one…
1950, the USAF achieved a satisfactory exchange rate against an enemy deploying a faster, better armed, better rate of climb and higher ceiling fighter……the Mig15.
1956, the IDF defeated Eygptian Mig 15’s and Vampires handily with obsolete French Ourigons with NO LOSSES.
1967, the IDF whacked Mig21’s with F86’s in air-to-air.
1965-70, the NVAF successfully engaged F4 Phantoms with Mig17’s over North Vietnam.
Churchill’s remark—“It’s not the size of the dog in the fight but rather the size of the fight in the dog.”
I do despair that under the OBOZO regime the USAF could lose that decisive sharp edge talent pool or be stupidly deployed/supported.
“When I consider someone to be inconsequential, I don’t write any at all.”
Except for the few thousand posts about how inconsequential the newspaper industry is…
One thing has come to my mind. Her looks are not inconsequential either. Her presentable image, reserved yet classy charm, and of course femininity are in striking contrast with most politicians . Would that be Harper, Obama , not to mention British politicians look like bums wearing a suit. The wardrobe doesn’t fit them nor they look like being comfortable with own outer skin. I know, I know my subjective perception is superficial…..or perhaps today’s politicians are only the display of decay of an era.
I felt Hannity’s pain!
Keep chuckling, watching the poor sod’s repeated attempts to get big name pols and operators to agree with his (obvious) assertion that Obama is a socialist. LOL.
Palin– like so many — did venture to admit that a lot of his associates and appointments are “radicals” but she demurred from tagging Obama with the obvious label. This is all starting to sound like Fawlty’s “don’t mention the war …”. Would Reagan have so demurred?
I found that a bit unsettling, conflicting as it does with her admission that the McCain/Palin campaign failed the American people by not being a lot more aggressive about uncovering Obama’s unseemly past which clearly disqualified him from being prez. At one point in that campaign, I even came to wonder if McCain was “throwing the fight”.
I didn’t think she needed to be so nice about Obama’s gifts (?!!!), his eloquence (?!!!). That reminded me of the bullshit from both McCain and Bush about his being a “good man”. No he ain’t. He’s a psychopathic lying thug. Fine, if you can’t say that, say NOTHING.
If someone asked me in an interview if there was anything I liked about Obama, I’d say something like (and mean it!): “He has an absolutely beautiful SMILE …” and therefore damn him with faint praise.
I found Hannity’s FULL HOUR with Sarah Palin most unfulfilling. I don’t know if that’s Palin’s or Hannity’s fault.
Me No Dhimmi ….you are wrong, Obama ain’t psychopath. He has Borderline Personality Disorder with narcissistic cluster most present. It is a serious medical condition often arising from childhood emotional and/or physical trauma. His relations with others are most revealing. He will never take responsibility for his action and wait when his anger gets flying when he will start to blame everything and everybody, but himself.
I can agree with Obama that American Mental Health System is failing him.
Is that YOUR diagnosis xiat?
Or one you read in an article in which a psychiatrist, at a distance — and unethically I should add — diagnoses him? Are you privy to a formal diagnosis from a one-on-one clinical setting?
That last line’s a joke, right? But I would certainly say that government “affirmative action” policies failed him. He’s out of his depth!
While these at-a-distance diagnoses ring true for me, I have to admit to a bit of discomfort considering soviet-style pyschiatry!
I read recently that over 1000+ psychiatrists, again at a distance, “diagnosed” Barry Goldwater as a paranoid schizophrenic (sp?).
Recently LameStreamMedia had a pow-wow about the mental pathologies of people who listen to Rush Limbaugh.
He’s a marxist, tho, right?
If, indeed, Sarah Palin is unremarkable then there really is no need to write about her constantly. She is the embodiment of what the left fear. Whether as president or a lone political voice, she still is a reminder of how the intellectually and morally lazy made an atrocious mistake voting for an empty suit, someone who shouldn’t even have made it past the primaries.
Besides, who would better serve Canadian interests- an empty suit whose proposals would bankrupt Canada or the former governor of a “freak state” (RE: the Simpsons) who understands the importance of trade and life along the border of this grand country?
No, I am not in position to diagnose, however I had experience with close relatives who has suffered from bpd. Marxism fits Obama because people with bpd while highly intelligent, often successful they lack insight. They operate on rigid preconceived sets of values which in politics translates into demagoguery. Applying this values to reality looks to others like delusions, where the person with bpd will find everything and anything to justify own actions. One feature of bpd that has been not present in Obama is anger, so I may be wrong or his public persona has not displayed it yet. What points to bpd is that many people notice narcissistic behavior, “dryness”, hiding behind teleprompter, playing victim, you don’t need a psychiatrists.
Schizophrenic? That’s absurd unless some else hears voices in his head.

Well, you’d be taking work away from Jay Currie if you did. Every week you can count on going to his blog and finding him pointing out something stupid Dr. Dawg has said. Hello, it’s Dawg: Everything he says is stupid. Might as well just have a blog post that says “Sky still blue” instead.

Heh, reading comprehension isn’t some people’s strong suit.
A blogger maintains a blog. A journalist, once upon a time, worked for a journal, but now the more appropriate use of the term would be understood if we pronounced the term “urinalist.”
Don’t know of anyone here saying the media is inconsequential.
On the contrary, as a consequence of their insane promoting of the global warming cult thing, they have caused the world much unnecessary angst and wasteful financial harm.
But hey, if they continue they WILL become inconsequential.
It is not bankruptcy it is suicide .

She makes the point I have been making for years now:
“When you read the news online, additional information is just a mouse click away. When you read it in a newspaper or magazine you’re not just subscribing to their publication but to their political biases as well.”
click click click ….
The sound of Palin’s facebook pages and the sound of heels rushing to her book tour. Not inconsequential.

======================================
run that one by Stephen Hawking
glacierman has only ONE argument, and he’s sticking to it, and to it, and to it.
The child isn’t hidden away; he’s embraced by everyone. Maybe that’s the real gripe.
Sarah would make an excellent President. She may not get the opportunity, because her most significant opposition lies unfettered by partisanship in the old boy network of Washington. Obama is the old boy’s useful idiot. That he was a setup by the DNC should be, and should have been, clearly obvious to everybody.
There are no “qualifications” for being President (other than birth). The position is a reactionary one requiring an individual to draw on their life skills to implement and problem solve. To make quick, sure decisions and ride out the consequences. The office of Vice-President is the show-and-tell flag-waving oratory position, and that’s where Obama should have wound up. (Please, I’m not suggesting Joe should have got the Big Chair…)
Many of you consistently confuse the legislative branch of government with the executive branch. A senator brings almost nothing to the executive branch. A non-voting senator brings even less, whereas, that is a specific skill set that Palin brought. As to oratory, she clearly demonstrated she was able to deliver an audience. Being a good president is more about what you do, than what you say.
Sarah Palin is presently getting the best education a future presidential candidate could ask for. She has the ability to deliver policy statements, revise them, test them, all outside the position. She has the opportunity to refine her presentation, to refine her ability to think on her feet and handle her critics, without any of the pressure associated with performance. She has the opportunity to move smoothly about the national constituency without all the pesky baggage of being in an elected position.
She is beholden to no one. Her book sheds the baggage of the McCain campaign and will provide her with the revenue to do the international meet and greet, again without any of the politcal baggage.
She is well known around the world, captivating to many foreign leaders (chauvinists or not), and possesses what every sales manager lusts for: a good looking dame able to carry herself in public and make you believe.
The Democrats need to be scared.
I’m not a Democrat, but I’d vote D if I were American. Oh…and and I’m not scared in the least. Sarah Palin is a blessing. In a sense I’m on your side. I pray that she runs. Every day. I pray that she gets the nomination, every day, because it will be a fatal strategic error for the GOP. Terrrust meeee. Republicans will get slaughtered in 2012 if they put this ditsy woman on the ballot. Y’all may like her, but thankfully y’all are an increasing minority.
That said, if there’s anything I can do to help get her on the ballot, please let me know. I would be more than happy to offer my assistance. 😉

Palin would be smart to keep her powder dry until after the 2012 convention. She can contribute by running for the senate when the opportunity presents itself. Get herself some creds and hang loose for 2016 or 2020. She’s young enough to still be relevent then. 2012 is gonna be a GOP victory as Chimpy McBama will have shot his load by then and blown all his cedibility to govern.
Palin could run as VP in 2016 and grab the brass ring in 2020.
I see that the liberal Palin haters and myth believers are out in full force today.
Is Palin getting her “creds”?

“Going Rogue:An American Life — 300,000 Copies Sold on the First Day!
Hey, remember that story last week about how she’d have to sell a whopping 400,000 copies for HarperCollins to break even?
I think it’ll be okay.
There’s a rule of thumb in the industry that publishers net about $10 per hardcover sold, after expenses, but before the cost of the advance. Once she’s sold 700,000 copies, then, HarperCollins is in the black. And what of that 1.6 million printed? An ideal “sell-through” rate is about 75 percent, which means HarperCollins thinks it’s going to sell about 1.2 million copies. At that level, Palin will have made $7 million and HarperCollins $5 million of its own.
A HarperCollins insider told The Daily Beast that the book sold a staggering 300,000 copies on the first day alone, which was Tuesday. “Sales are phenomenal, and we are convinced that the book will continue to sell phenomenally for some time to come,” says the insider. They’re not prevaricating: As of 2:30pm today, the book was #1 on Amazon, ahead of both Stephen King’s new novel, Under the Dome, and Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol.
The latter sold 1 million copies on its first day, but that figure included the UK, and top fiction generally trumps non-fiction. Any way you carve it, Going Rogue looks to be a $12 million goldmine.”
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2390284/posts
“It would not be the first time in the history, especially on the outset of turbulent period, that a person is first ridiculed, then play a major social/political role…..”
Could Palin be America’s Churchill?
“….btw…by 2012 most people should figure out the Obama hasn’t got qualifications to be the president, yet has been elected.”
Have not most people figured this out already?
There are midterm elections on the horizon and this is not going to be a pleasant experience for any Democrats.
I don’t see Palin as President. Yet. By this I don’t mean that she’s ‘not ready’. But that she has at the moment a more important role to play than campaigning for President.
I’m going to leave out any comparisons with Obama, who is completely unqualified in intellect, knowledge, experience and agenda, to be President.
What I’m trying to say about Palin not campaigning for President, and her more important role, is that the American people..the everyday working family and individual, the small businessman, the entrepreneur, the average American has lost their voice within Congress and the Executive.
The Democratic Party has become a radical socialist elite sect, confined to the big cities, to bureaucrats, academics, the sophistry of the country. It is alienated from the average American and in actual fact, despises them. We see that in the Democratic (and Obama) contempt for the Tea Parties, the Town Halls, and any dissent.
The Republican Party has equally become alienated from mainstream America, confined to Washington big government agendas.
Both parties have lost touch with America and the American people. Palin is their voice. This is vital.
As Governor of Alaska, she couldn’t represent them. Even as VP candidate for the Republicans, she couldn’t represent them. Now, she can, and that seems to be exactly her agenda.
I’ve heard her on Hannity, on O’Reilly – and she is actually saying ‘I’m just an average American’..and openly saying that she is speaking as such. Not as a Republican. As an American.
This is a vitally important role. I don’t think we’ve ever seen anything like this; a politicl figure who has moved out of politics, to speak for and with, a general population.
The Democrats are going to go apocalyptic; it’s hard to attack someone who is ‘moving in’ so to speak, on the turf that they consider is theirs and theirs alone..the right to ‘speak for’ America.
So, they are going to try with personal attacks, which they’ve already done. And, I suspect they’ll try to remodel Obama! Watch for it. They’ll try to present him as ‘speaking for America’. Heh. He can’t do it; his rhetoric is pure fiction, abstract metaphors. Palin talks down to earth.
The Republicans will, I suspect, sit back and watch. But above all, hopefully, they’ll reform themselves to follow her agenda…i.e., representing small businesses, and the average American…rather than big Washington govt.
I’d suggest that Palin should, after it has become clear that the average American is not a Democratic socialist…become the leader of the Republican Party. That is, not a candidate for President or VP. Not yet. But someone who can help pick candidates, support them, guide the policies of the party.
[quote]Both parties have lost touch with America and the American people. Palin is their voice. This is vital.[/quote] ET
That is so true.. I see Palin as a KING MAKER in 2010.. She will carry every State Republican “slate” were she makes a personal appearance. she is worth >10 points…
philip shaw – exactly. BUT, only if the Republican Party recognizes that they must reform and move to represent ..the American people as they are. At the moment, the Republican party is totally isolated as a ‘set’ in Washington; they don’t represent Americans.
Sarah Palin isn’t representing any political party. That’s vitally important. She repesents Americans.
The Democrats are going to try to break her from this contact..by accusing her of running for Republican office and saying she’s ‘not ready’. She can ignore that, I think by repeating her statement that she’s a voice for average Americans.
Then, I suspect they’ll try to set up Obama as ‘representing Americans’. heh. No, he’s lost it. That’s going to be an interesting phase. Obama can’t handle concrete reality; he talks in amorphous generalities.
But I think it’s important for the Republican Party to realize that they’ve got to connect with real America..and get out of Washington. And allow Palin a hand in choosing candidates. And campaigning for them.
I’d like to see her replace Michael Steele..next year. I don’t want her to campaign as a candidate herself yet because I don’t want her to be partisan or bound in a geographic region. She has to be the voice of America.
You spoke for me, ET. And hopefully that’s what she will do.
She reminds me of Kate: a straight shooter!

So is exposing Sarah Palin for the intellectually challenged individual that she is. 😉
Look at it this way. You guys all think the mainstream media is out to vilify her, so at least you’ll have someone to blame when she runs in 2012 and loses miserably. Isn’t that who you blame for, well…everything?
“It’s raining today!! Curse you mainstream media!!” lol
The prefered route to the US Presidency since the 20th century has been through the Governor’s office. By my rough count since T. Roosevelt, 8 out of 17 Presidents have been Governors. Five have served as Senators. Being a Govenor is belonging to one of the most exclusive clubs in the US. Out of about 300 Million citizens, 50 can call themselves Govenor. It’s worth noting that Sarah Palin until recently was a club member. If she was as dumb and inarticulate as portrayed, she could never have been elected to any office.
I think it was a mistake for her to resign, if she is interested in running for national office.
We will have to wait and see, in the meantime she certainly knows haw to attract attention.
