  1. Oh my! It must be witchcraft or something like that. I mean he looks good in a suit – mind you she looks better in just about anything – he reads well from a moving screen – mind you she can finish a speech when the moving screen breaks down. She has a hunk husband he has a ….. wife.
    Bottom line She believes in personal independence and he is a Marxist. Eventually people notice.

  2. I have no idea why but this headline just brought to mind an scene from the cartoon version of Robin Hood. The king is a lion and as his world comes crashing down, his crown sits awry on his head so he sucks his thumb and calls for Mommy. Substitute Oblamebush for the lion and you pretty much have an accurate picture the current US Pretender.

  3. I suspect there was/is a gender bias but with time a lot of folks have got used to the idea of a lady POTUS.
    I was impressed that she nearly derailed Obamacare with one word….”death-panels”….which may in the end doom Obamacare before it causes too much distress and untimely death.

  4. The Rep and Dem Elitists are PO’d and Palin is their problem.
    Rove,Krauthammer, et al are mad they aren’t calling the shots, especially that squishy 20% middle ground of the independents.
    The American People are doing the talking with their votes.
    The Elites don’t like this. Watch for the attacks on the Tea Party to increase.
    Rush had a great explanation today on why Elitists will never accept the peons choices.
    But there are more PO’d peons than Elitists, On both sides of the political divide in America.
    A good article via C4P from of all places,Canada Free Press:
    “Sarah Palin and the current threats to the tea party movement”

    “There is a wave now clearly rising. There is a movement very definable now fully exposing itself to America. The Tea Party now has more successful wins to its credit within a condensed time frame than any other American political movement can rightfully claim. This movement is alive, palpable, real, not to be ignored and poised to return America to its position as that Shining City Upon the Hill. And one individual is responsible for this momentum.
    That person is Sarah Louise Palin—and this is her vetting.”
    […]
    “In closing it is fantastically imperative to reiterate one fundamental element of Sarah Palin’s political and personal persona: she is first and foremost a Christian. Second, and equally as important, she is a Constitutionalist. Defining those terms in the context of how she will lead a country requires one simple review of the Founding Fathers. She has never allowed religion to interfere with her duties as a servant to the people—ever. She has forever listened to the voice of the people—always. She has in all public duties eschewed obfuscation—consistently. She is the one true voice of the people—and so too have her soldiers, her armies, always been.
    This city on the hill has grown dim. Sarah Louise Palin is the lantern to light that torch for the world to once again turn towards.”

  5. Are you sure this isn’t a rural/ urban divide. We always seem to have those in Canader.
    Nice to see how a proper democracy works. The electorate can make mistakes but in the good ol USA they get a chance to correct them before, hopefully, the real damage is done. Billy-Bob wasn’t such a bad Pres once he was declawed by a GOP majority in the legislative branch. Checks and Balances are the greatest. Whot! Never in Canader you say?

  6. This is turning global. Sweden, US even Canada are shifting to the right. The US has shifted to the right. People want some accountability and I think SP has tapped in to that. She fought tough battles in Alaska to become Governor. I think she understands better than most what it is like in America even though she was somewhat isolated from that. She lived a real life at one point and she is pissed by the same things as people grinding a small business or job.

  7. Oops. And by “ho!” I mean what you say to a troop of horse cavalry when you want to ride off into the sunset, not an agricultural implement. … Or that other thing.
    People keep screwing up my language, its getting tedious! 🙁

  8. Someone could double check this, but I recall that the Governor of Alaska is the only state that has the National Guard on alert (?) at all times, and Alaska alone (maybe Hawaii) is included in on some other national security briefings. So she is among the few governors to get national security exposure at that level.

  9. The reason is simple.
    One is very good looking, bright, personable and a hard worker who understands the common man.
    The other is Obama.

  10. What atwoodsux said.
    Sarah Palin is populist. Obama couldn’t care less. When one is forced to really think about the issues that affect him, more than likely, he will reject a socialist point-of-view.
    Unless he is completely dense.

  11. You know what is sad? How dispirited the trolls must be. They can’t even rouse themselves to bash Palin.

  12. “They can’t even rouse themselves to bash Palin”
    They’re a little busy trashing O’Donnell right now, but don’t worry, they’ll remember who the ‘real’ enemy is very soon…

  13. “Frustration and Fear Greet Obama in Town Hall Chat”
    “Disappointed Supporters Question Obama”
    It was billed as “Investing in America,” a live televised conversation on the state of the economy between President Obama and American workers, students, business people and retirees, a kind of Wall Street to Main Street reality check.
    But it sounded like a therapy session for disillusioned Obama supporters.
    In question after question during a one-hour session, which took place on Monday at the Newseum here and was televised on CNBC, Mr. Obama was confronted by people who sounded frustrated and anxious — even as some said they supported his agenda and proclaimed themselves honored to be in his presence.
    People from Main Street wanted to know if the American dream still lived for them. People on Wall Street complained that he was treating them like a piñata, “whacking us with a stick,” in the words of Anthony Scaramucci, a former law school classmate of Mr. Obama’s who now runs a hedge fund and was one of the president’s questioners.
    “I’m exhausted of defending you, defending your administration, defending the mantle of change that I voted for,” said the first questioner, an African-American woman who identified herself as a chief financial officer, a mother and a military veteran. “I’ve been told that I voted for a man who was going to change things in a meaningful way for the middle class and I’m waiting sir, I’m waiting. I still don’t feel it yet.”
    A 30-year-old law school graduate told Mr. Obama that he had hoped to pursue a career in public service — like the president — but complained that he could barely pay the interest on his student loans, let alone think of getting married or starting a family.
    “I was really inspired by you and your campaign and the message you brought, and that inspiration is dying away,” he said, adding, “And I really want to know, is the American dream dead for me?””

  14. I’ve read a couple comments here and there about Krauthammer not liking Palin. In his latest Washington Post essay, he doesn’t hesitate to criticize Palin for endorsing unelectable O’Donnell over unbeatable Castle for Senate.
    I would say his viewpoint makes sense, even if I don’t agree with him. What surprised me is his overwhelming endorsement and acknowledgement of Palin’s power. He says, “If DeMint(R S.C.) and Palin want to show that helping O’Donnell over the top — she won late and by six points — wasn’t a capricious spreading of fairy dust, perhaps they should go to Delaware now and get her elected to the Senate. You made it possible. Now make it happen.”
    A year ago, most Republicans would have been certain that Palin showing up in any Blue State would sink any Republican’s campaign (about like Obama showing up in a Red state campaign for a Democrat this year). Now Krauthammer is saying she’s the one that can make it happen.

    I haven’t been reading Noonan since her “It’s Over” requiem, but I look forward to hearing what she has to say.

  15. If you remember, when Palin resigned from governorship, those that know everything said that she made a big mistake and that, for all practical purposes, she was history.
    One can see now, that Palin had a plan; she knew exactly what she was doing and what she was going to do.
    Funny if not ironic, the mass media can’t get enough of Palin now.
    The “knowledgeable” still say that she can’t do this or that thing.
    There is a you tube video of Susan Boyle from the show Britain’s Got Talent. When she replies to the question on who she would like to be like, the camera shows the audience mocking her.
    There are certain parallels in the two stories.

  16. No… I think we trolls all pretty much quiely hope cariboo barbie is the next republican presidential condidate thus making it certain the next president witl be our favorite closet republican Barrack Obama…ps you guys are still all batsh%t crazy aint ya?

  17. @whomever
    There are two kinds of crazy (or stupid) in the world today.
    One kind says “i can see Russia from my house”
    The other thinks that spending Trillions of dollars and hiking taxes on the middle class will stimulate the economy.
    One of those 2 types of crazy cost the US taxpayer. The other didn’t.
    I’ll take “I can see Russia from my house” crazy any day of the week. Apparently you won’t.
    That’s because you’re stupid.

  18. You do realize, atwoodsux, that Sarah Palin did not say “I can see Russia from my house”. Tina Fey did. I don’t think for a moment that Sarah Palin is crazy.
    My take is that Mrs. Palin is more valuable to the USA right now, in the role that she is currently playing. She can distribute her message without being overly partisan.

  19. You’ll forgive me if I doubt that Palin “knew exactly what she was doing and what she was going to do”. I think it was much more a matter of recognizing an opportunity and taking it in the expectation that there would be something to seize onto once she got to the other side of it. I think she has a much greater talent and an improviser and an opportunist than as a planner.
    I don’t say that in any way dismissively. In the current circumstances the goals America needs to reach and the direction that will get her there are clear enough, and there’s no shortage of able people clarifying them. The ability to spot the immediate path from here to the next step, and to make sure it gets taken, is extrememly valuable, and that’s where Palin excels.

  20. “You do realize, atwoodsux, that Sarah Palin did not say “I can see Russia from my house”. Tina Fey did.
    No I didn’t actually but the larger point I was making is still valid. If there is a choice between bad and very bad, choose bad instead.
    If the choice is between silly comments that Palin may have said (even if she did hypothetically) and the absolute fiscal irresponsibility that Obama has demonstrated, then the choice should be pretty simple
