  2. The Zero says Palin is not much of an expert on nuclear weapons.Maybe she should ask him how Acorn is an expert on anything,outside of illegal activities??

  3. I have to be careful with my animosity….
    Obama has become the LBJ of the 21-century, & it should get him thrown out before 2012…. Those Crack heads from the 60’s, in the WH, are betraying our troops @ war They must have access to “unlimited” support.
    Is it OK to kill our troops with Bio Weapons? Stupid Man-Child
    The cowards and sleaze, of the Vietnam era, should have been properly executed

  4. Justthinkin, you got that right.
    Palin should just keep getting under the Chosen One’s skin. Every time he opens his mouth to respond he puts his foot in it and opens to public scrutiny by comparison his own total lack of experience. After all she is just a private citizen going around on a speaking tour. It is not as if she is head of the RNC or a declared candidate for some public office.

  5. Will this woman ever stop being so bloody right?
    Obama has cavalierly cut the throat of eastern Europe and American interests in that region.
    I’ll take a mayor from Wasilla over him any day.

  6. Mrs Palin has managed to get the President’s shorts in a knot! Poor Barry lacks the social skills to address criticism with any credibility. He is a stranger in a foreign country; he seems way out in left field all the time. I never think of this fella as the President of the U.S.A.; he seems like a foreign immigrant trying desperately to fit in and he always appears to be attempting to hide his motives.
    Pathetic and dangerous for all North Americans – how do citizens talk to or with such a personality, he has no idea of our way of life!
    I am very grateful that the precocious former governor of Alaska raises his shackles so we can measure the temperament of the stranger in the Whitehouse. The more I see of this temperament, the less I like or trust the man.
    The ‘fishing’ story would fly way above the head of the foreign president because humour is a cultural thing; it is never understood by foreigners no matter how well they can translate the language and speak the words. Humour is too subtle, it takes intelligent people years to comprehend; average Barrys can’t be expected to raise above their IQ grade, in their lifetime. The BHO kids might understand. Barry call your kids.

  9. “I really have no response (to her criticisms) because last I checked, Sarah Palin’s not much of an expert on nuclear issues. If the secretary of Defense and the chariman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff are confortable with it, I’m probably going to take advice from them and not Sarah Palin.”
    Oh snap! No he di’unt! Yes he did!
    You know, I’m so happy Barry’s President! He’s so smart and dreamy and experienced and experty and not trying to wreck the economy get us all killed and junk, and he pitches real good and…
    I also find b*tchiness to be a very presidential quality.

  10. I suspect the following short story is more than plausable……approaching probable…..The Narcisist in Chief predictably will do something stupid in a fit of petulance—-or his handlers/manipulators….
    The president-designate’s eyes flicked briefly toward his chosen successor, then back to the helmeted soldier who stood before him, sidearm holstered at his hip. The soldier noticed the glance and smiled briefly.
    “It’s all right, Mr. Secretary,” the soldier said. “Everything is secure. Chief Justice, are you ready to certify the proceedings?”
    The jurist nodded. Though plainly shaken by the day’s events, he was as composed as he’d ever been on the bench.
    The soldier looked toward the waiting camera crews. “Ready, gentlemen?”
    A forest of red lights winked on in assent.
    The president-designate cleared his throat, sat forward, and did his best to smile.
    “My fellow Americans,” he said, the tremor in his voice barely controlled, “the events of today have not yet been reported to you in their full extent. Given the circumstances, I can only provide a synopsis. There are more important matters I must attend to at once.
    “Most of you have never seen my face. I was not meant for this office, and will occupy it for only a few minutes more. You will find my successor more recognizable by far.
    “I sit here because a few hours ago the man you elected president last November, his vice-presidential running mate, the speaker of the House of Representatives, and the secretary of State were all killed in combat.” The president winced as he spoke. He could hardly imagine the impact of his words on the millions in the audience, most of whom had only the vaguest notion of what had happened in Washington that day. “I can’t go into details about that engagement, except to tell you that they, and the men who stood by them, died in defense of offices they were no longer entitled to hold. They forfeited all right to those offices yesterday, when the president ordered American troops to fire on American citizens who were peacefully protesting his policies. When the troops in Anchorage, Alaska, Los Angeles, California, Tampa, Florida, and Portland, Maine refused those orders, the president ordered the officers commanding those troops to fire on them. The foreseeable result was a mutiny, and that’s exactly what took place.”
    The explanation needs to be complete and correct.
    “We were fortunate that our men at arms recognized the illegality of those orders. We were even more fortunate that the Joint Chiefs had been in contact with friendly forces outside the United States, formulating contingency plans to be put into motion should the need arise. It was those outside forces that proved critical to thwarting this unprecedented coup against the Constitution, engineered inside the government itself.”
    He paused to let the impact of the statement sink into the nation’s minds.
    “We are equally fortunate that the president pro tempore of the senate and the secretary of the Treasury, both of whom stand before me in the presidential line of succession, agreed to resign from office in exchange for immunity from prosecution for their collaboration with the coup. That allowed the office of the president to devolve to me. In a moment I will be sworn into it before you all. A moment more, and I will resign it in favor of my chosen successor, who is far more suited to the office than I.
    “You might be thinking, ‘How could a coup arise from inside the government itself? Aren’t the soldiers who overthrew the president and his appointees the real coup?’ A coup is a stroke against legitimate authority. In America, all legitimate authority flows from the Constitution of the United States. An official who acts in violation of the dictates of the Constitution is therefore an outlaw, a traitor against the bedrock laws and principles of this nation. If he tries to retain his position by force, others who are charged with enforcing the law are thereby entitled to take him down by force. That’s what occurred earlier today, with a regrettable but unavoidable loss of life on both sides.”
    The president-designate’s gaze passed swiftly over the faces of the cameramen. All were doing their best to retain a professional demeanor. None were entirely successful. The overwhelming majority of them, like the majority of their brethren in journalism, had supported the deposed administration. Few had any sympathy for the views of those who were to replace it. Yet each of them had volunteered for his assignment, knowing full well what had come to pass.
    “I wish it could have been otherwise, but the late president gave us no choice. He had decided to place himself and his associates above the law — the supreme law, the Constitution. That made him and those who stood by him criminals, whose deaths in combat were fully justified. I’d have preferred to see them go on trial for their crimes, but their tenacity in defense of their illegitimately wielded powers took that possibility away from us.
    “We are at the beginning of a process whose end we cannot see. Nothing like this has occurred in America before today. No foreign soldier has fired a shot in anger on our soil since 1814. And never before have men whose sworn allegiance is to another nation been called to act in defense of our own.
    “I must ask for your patience, and your prayers for my successor. I can ask nothing more — especially not for your trust. To trust in government and politicians is and has always been insane. Our first president, George Washington himself, cautioned us against it. ‘Government,’ he said ‘is not reason; it is not eloquence. It is force. And force, like fire, is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.’ We almost learned the truth of that assessment upon our own backs. If it hadn’t been for the character of our all-volunteer military and the foresight of a single foreign friend, we would have suffered as no generation of Americans has ever suffered.
    “You will shortly meet my successor in this office. She’s a woman of sterling character and considerable accomplishment. She’s been an honest official throughout her public life. I entreat you: Don’t trust her. Keep her honest. Keep her associates honest. Keep her agents honest. If I’ve judged her accurately, she’ll appreciate the necessity.
    “Above all…” The president-designate’s voice caught momentarily. He looked down at the desk and struggled for calm.
    It was necessary. Horrible, but right and necessary. I suppose I’ll be telling myself that all the way to my grave.
    “Above all, my fellow Americans, do not make it necessary ever again for America to be saved from itself by a foreign force. I will not criticize that force or its men at arms. We stand in permanent debt to them. But we should be ashamed that we, the people of the United States, supposedly the sovereign rulers of our own nation, needed their assistance to retain our Constitutional heritage. We should be ashamed that all our brave talk about holding our officials accountable for their deeds turned out to be no more than that. We should be ashamed that, virtually to a man, we were willing to submit to an elected tyranny, to go along with oppression in order to get along with our comfortable lives.”
    With those words, the president-designate felt his tears break free. He wiped his eyes on a sleeve, stood and squared his shoulders. The camera lenses followed him faithfully.
    “That’s it. I have no more to say.”
    He strode to where the chief justice stood, Bible in hand.
    “Are you ready to take the oath of office, Mr. Secretary?” the chief justice said, voice quavering.
    “I am, Your Honor.”
    Once the oath had been completed, the president returned to the historic desk — his desk, for a few moments more — crouched to sign the Deed of Resignation, and handed it at once to the chief justice.
    “Is the form correct and the intent clear, Your Honor?”
    The chief justice nodded gravely. “Yes to both, Mr. President. Thank you for your service to this nation.” His eyes moved to the governor of Alaska. “Are you ready to take the oath of office, Madam Governor?”
    She stepped forward, shoulders thrust back and head held high with an obvious effort. “I am, Your Honor.”
    As she completed the oath, the cameras winked out. The soldier waiting just beyond their gaze never budged.
    ***
    The president found the White House telepresence room empty and as silent as a tomb. From the giant screen on the wall shone a single face.
    She turned to her companion. “Please, have a seat.”
    The soldier smiled. “It’s all right, Madam President. I prefer to stand.”
    She nodded and took her own place at the curved conference table.
    “Mr. Prime Minister,” she said.
    “Madam President.”
    “I can’t thank you enough. I can’t imagine how to repay this debt.”
    The prime minister shook his head. “America prepaid this debt long ago. Not that we keep accounts over here, old jokes notwithstanding.”
    “All the same.”
    “Do you anticipate any further unpleasantness with…anyone on Capitol Hill?”
    “I think the events of the day will make that unnecessary. I intend a clean sweep of the Cabinet, of course, except for Defense.”
    “Of course.” The prime minister looked aside for an instant. “Would it be of any value to you to have our brigade remain in Washington a few days longer?”
    The president felt her face tighten. “It would, but I have to balance that value against the appearance of a foreign occupation. I think the latter weighs more heavily, so I’m going to send them back to you. With thanks.”
    “Don’t you have any fear of a counterstrike?”
    The president grinned ruefully. “That’s so unlikely it’s not worth discussing. The army is on our side. The people are on our side, or soon will be. Our principal opponents will be the news media. I think I can cope with them.”
    The prime minister nodded. “Then I will be happy to welcome my forces home, and thank them for a difficult job well done. And, Madam President…?”
    “Yes, Prime Minister?”
    “Should you need further assistance, now or in the future, I trust you won’t hesitate to ask.”
    For the first time that day, the president felt a lessening of the burden of her office.
    Probably the last time, too.
    “I won’t, my friend. But I’m as embarrassed — no, ashamed — at our non-performance on our own behalf as my predecessor is. It shouldn’t have been necessary. I intend to make it unnecessary, if it’s in my power to do so. So once again, you have my thanks, and the thanks of our nation, and the fervent hope that nothing like this will ever happen again.”
    “To either of us, Madam President.” The prime minister’s gentle accent became more pronounced. “But you must discard your notions of debt. Your country has made it possible for men to be free. For men everywhere to dream of freedom, whatever bondage they currently endure. And for my nation, the sole refuge of a badly oppressed people, to exist at all. We will never forget that. We cannot.”
    The prime minister raised his hand in silent farewell. The president did the same, and the great screen went dark. She sat unspeaking for a long moment, then turned to the soldier who stood at her side.
    “Your prime minister is a great man,” she said.
    “He thinks rather highly of you, Madam President.”
    She nodded and rose. “It’s a degree of esteem I’ll have to try to earn. And now, General Alon,” she said, a hand extended, “my thanks to you and your men for saving my country from itself.”
    The soldier did not take the proffered hand. Instead he came to full attention and executed a micrometrically perfect salute. “No thanks are required, Madam President.” He started to turn to leave, stopped, and cocked an eyebrow. “May I leave you with a memento of our alliance?”
    “None is required, General.”
    “Please, Ma’am.” He handed her his uniform cap. “I have another. Remember that America is not without friends.” With that, he departed.
    She turned the cap in her hands. The stylized Star of David, inset with the sword and olive branch of the Israeli Defence Forces, gleamed from its prow. She vowed upon the instant that it would rest upon her desk in the Oval Office for as long as she might sit there.
    “Thank You, God,” she murmured, “for men of valor and justice. It could only have been nicer if they’d been Americans.”

  11. I like it sasquatch but it needs more sex scenes. (Kathy Shaidle will read it if you throw Dick Cheney in there.)

  13. Would make a great movie.
    Great because dispite the howls of protest from the Hollywood know it alls and the usual suspects at the academy, would rake in the box office reciepts.
    Somebody please bank roll this.

  14. “This time I think that Fisherwoman was using dynamite !!”
    Ahhhhhh the infamous “CIL Lure”
    Excellent fishing results !

  15. What a biased article! “She’s polarizing” and Obama’s a “popular president”. As if . . .

  16. I like Dick Cheney as much as the next warmonger, but I don’t want him showing up in my “sex scenes” thankyouverymuch.

  17. I love Sarah Palin. The more the feces throwing monkeys I mean journalists try to prove how stupid she is and how brilliant Obama is the more she whacks him upside the head and he never sees it coming.

    Ugh, Kemo Sabay.

    “Understanding the Sarah Palin effect”
    Rex Murphy
    […]
    “She, by rights, should be queen of the feminists. All that self-reliance, her takeover of Alaska politics, the rocket ride to a Vice-Presidential ticket, a public career she blends with her family life– these seem gold-standard credentials for a real feminist. But official feminism derides herewith an unspeakable intensity. Her early critics were not beyond the inane claim that she was somehow not really a woman.
    I side with those who venture that the nerves Palin hits have more to do with class — where she’s from, how she speaks, where she was educated, what she likes (the moose-hunting), than her politics or her gender. She’s rural, she came into national politics from (ugh) Alaska. She and her husband have the unerasable stigmata of the modern working class. She would not be embarrassed to be seen walking into Wal-Mart.”

  19. From the comment section in the article:
    Not sure where it originated but I saw this on Insty. “If Obama’s skin was any thinner. he’d have a reservoir tip on the top of his head” Heh
    Heh indeed.

  20. I caught a snippet of Oblamebush and then one of Oblamebush’s fans telling the world that what they were doing was ‘sophisticated’ and with the statement that Palin doesn’t know anything about nuclear arms implying that Palin is unsophisticated. Oblamebush’s ratings just took another hit and his word “Sophisticated” simply means he is absolutely clueless about the real world so he is just making up crap up to mesh with what to him feels good. Oblamebush’s “sophistication” is akin to Wiley Coyote’s “genius”.

  21. When the lefties sling “uneducated, racist, fascist, unsophistocated, ignorant etc.” at critics they reveal how they view themselves when these terms very accurately describe THEM.
    It is still my opinion is that the knee-jerk hysteria over Palin was fear…..that the voters reaction would resmeble theirs….these chauvenist lefties really do only regardwomen as sex objects…..It appears that the dem males unanimously wanted to jump her….
    Psychologically it’s called “projection”……
    Thus it is a founded opinion that lefties/democrats are perverts.

  22. That was a great story sasquatch and I could not stop reading it. Considering what is going on south of the border the story is not far fetched either. It would not be the first time in history that a scenario like this took place.
    Always the chick flick crowd wants to mudify the plot. First clean up the mess, then worry about the mushy stuff.

  23. “Obama, in Prague to sign a nuclear reduction treaty with Russia, countered by deriding the former Alaska governor who resigned midway through her first term as “not much of an expert” on nuclear issues.”
    This coming from a former “community organizer”?!?
    Those who live in glass houses…
    Besides, I’ve never held public office in my life and even I can see that his move was completely dumbsh**! You NEVER tip your hand with respect to possible avenues of retaliation! Part of the deterrance factor is keeping them guessing.

  24. It’s not my fantasy particularly, but FiveFeet is always going on about how she’s hot for Dick. Cheney. Dick Cheney.
    Yes, Edward Teach, don’t you enjoy President Wonderful’s assumption that only an “expert” can have an opinion about something? Do you think Texas should be sold to the Chinese? Really? Do you speak Mandarin? Have you read any textbooks on Chinese oil-refining technology? No? Then shut up. It’s not very democratic, is it?
    Anyway, Barry is not an expert in anything, so I hereby insist he stop making decisions. Oh please.

  26. Great story Sasquatch – thanks for posting it. Sometimes I feel like I am having a nightmare when I think of what is happening in America. The world has turned from hope to fear in one short year.

  28. I’m just curious as to who Kate would have in her “sex scenes”.
    Sasquatch, your story is a bit too “chick flic” for me, but intriguing to say the least.

  29. If you follow Kate’s link, you should also check out “Obama gets schooled on “Just the Facts”. ” Very funny.

  31. actually I did not write that….I pulled that from my file of political reaction….somehow I lost the link.
    I endorse the scenario, but doubt that even the IDF could deploy with sufficient haste to effectively interveen…an intervention which would be politically problematic.
    What I envision is what the OBOZO crowd know only too well….the military’s oath is to the constitution not an individual.
    One of the basics of the uniform code is the process regarding illegal orders.
    Then there is that critical mass of retired, experienced personel….which the standing army would be loath to fire on.
    The scenario is realistic but it would be entirely domestic, swift and decisive.

  32. There is one thing that would bring well over 50% of the left on side with her…
    If she had aborted her last child.
    Stupid – there a loads of stupid people that the left likes
    Lack of foreign affairs knowledge (my disqualifier for her as POTUS) and understanding -Barack is worse and the dems know it.
    Rural roots – they are fine as long as they are distant and that an urban lifestyle has been adopted and then moving to the wilds like letterman is perfectly okay.
    But that she is prolife is the scarlet letter on her by the feminazi community and anyone who currys the fem’s favour has to be anti-palin.

  33. Many in the military today know their oath is to the constitution and have refused orders from Obama. They await trial as we speak.
    There may come a time as described in the story where it becomes necessary for all military to have to make a decision as to where they owe their allegience. If they review their oath they will know. Congress should have known their duty but were found sadly wanting. Unless 2010 is the huge conservative turnover everyone hopes things will only get uglier. A LOT uglier.

  34. Is it too soon to start discussing Obama’s SPDS?
    (Sarah Palin Derangement Syndrome)

  35. Palin knows more about nuclear strategy than the entire chicago gang in the White House will ever learn even in a million years.
    She was the commander in chief of the Alaska State Defense Force and used to be briefed on a daily basis by men who live and breathe the mechanics of keeping safe their country. It is the Left’s ploy as usual to paint her as an idiot because they are terrified of the woman.
    There is a link within this link that has the whole story of Palin’s involvement in nuclear strategy and knowledge.
    http://dodocanspell.blogspot.com/2010/04/only-thing-one-needs-to-know-about.html

  36. Perhaps Obama will take his own walk through Wal-mart, after all he’ll be job hunting in a couple of years.

  38. Hey Sasquatch – I was waiting for that prime minister to be Canadian. We did do Washington once before and it’s not a long drive…

  39. My most sobering moment during the cold war came at a joint training exercise where the B52s from Alaska were doing targeting runs over Alberta. They left Alaska flew to Cold Lake then flew to Montana. Just north of Brooks they flew 300 MPH at 500 feet with the nuclear flash blinds closed and electronically dropped their bomb on target. In college we debated whether, as a pilot, you should nuke Russia if you heard that the Russians had launched their missiles. The boys in the BUFs (big ugly fellows) had long ago settled that debate. Given the order they were delivering their nuclear load to Russia. Scared the h–l out of me and I was on their side!
    Palin wasn’t joking when she said you can see Russia from Alaska. Alaska remains on the front line of any conflict between Russia and the USA. Of course in Dissociated Oblamebush’s world there is no conflict that can’t be overcome with his personal appeal.
    Truthfully I would far sooner Palin’s uncouth ways to Oblamebush’s ‘sophistication’.

  40. Women on the right of the political spectrum are not allowed in the sisterhood of feministas.
    Palin and Coulter need not apply.

  41. Kate: “I don’t want him showing up in my ‘sex scenes’ thankyouverymuch.”
    Me neither. It’d probably kill him.
    Rex Murphy, ‘right on as usual. But I’m surprised he didn’t mention Palin’s cardinal sin in the eyes of the femi-nazis and the Green crowd: her large family (by North American standards) and the fact that she didn’t abort Trig, her son with Down’s Syndrome — something Gord Tulk mentioned above.
    Sarah Palin is real folks and Barak Obama is a big, huge phony, which puts the Big Zero on the defensive every time.

    “…President Obama has developed the revolutionary technique of uttering lofty phrases that have no actual reference points whatsoever in the real world … ”
    batb, you hit the nail on the head. Anybody that grew up in socialist countries run by communists knows the syntax very well.
    A lot of talk, use of oxygen and other wasteful activity and say absolutely nothing. What maybe troublesome about that is that it gets consumed by the faithful without any kind of digestion, the basic assumption being that if the white house resident says it and it follows the belief, it must be so.

  46. Well at least Palin uses her real name and can prove she’s an American. More than we can say for the oval office poseur.

  47. Lev, you and batb are both right. These sorts of phrases mouthed by certain politicians to lure the voter with false promises are becoming all to common in Canada also.
    What is almost worse is the MSM does not call them on it, but rather helps flog the false messages.

  48. It was softly written, but didn’t Rex just advise us that the “femenist movement” is just another common front manipulation of the gullible by the usual embedded marxist string pullers?
    Shades of the global warming/climate change fraud.

  49. Yes, OK the Krauthhanmer article in Saturday’s NP succintly points to the ironic stupidity of this Administration’s view of non-proliferation.
    More disturbing is their lack of understanding of the efficacy of deterrence, which only works if a “shot” is not fired.
    The consequences of attack must be made unthinkable, that no punishment option will be overlooked. WMD is WMD. 9-11 was WMD, just on a lower scale compared to biological, chemical (poor man’s nukes as we used to call them). Nukes are in their own league, but still we are talking about weapons of mass destruction.
    I know the ideas of arms buildups preventing wars and disarmament causing nuclear proliferation can be difficult to grasp, but history has proven them right. WMD anti-proliferation only works when the threshold of their use is so nightmarish for the deliverer and the receiver, that delivery never happens.
    Massive nuclear and conventional forces stood toe to toe in Europe for 50 years and the spectre of MAD (yes it was) stopped not only a nuclear war, but a massive conventional one too, IMO.
    Never open the door even a crack, be clear that no response will be ruled out. Anyway, you appear weak when you do so, thus eroding deterrence credibility.
    The POTUS needs to give this one a big re-think. Obama is setting a dangerous tone with this nonsense.

  50. I gather from interviews that Obama has accepted the risk that his agenda will result in a one term stay as president, as long as he achieves his liberal “reforms”. But from the way he addresses each and every criticism from Palin, he will try to make damn sure that he doesn’t lose the presidency to her. Can you imagine the bruising his ego would bear if he lost to a woman who represents everything he detests about America – social conservative, under-educated, unsophisticated, pro-life, rural, successful through personal initiative, proud of her country, does not defer to the elites,etc.
