      The Bridge to Nowhere x 2. She was against it before she was for it, then she was against it. Confusion reigns!

      Then, I would encourage Palin and other Republicans to get our money back. Oh wait.. what's that..? Oh, that's right, you LOVE when Wall Street and bankers get paid.

      That's why you fight to let them keep the money, even though they're taking it home in bonuses, that's why John Boehner recently said he was dismayed that ANY Wall Street company gives to Democrats when Republicans are SO much more willing to whore themselves.

      What are the odds this woman has never read the Constitution?

      Maybe Todd read it to her and explained what it meant...

        I think that Vegas should start a line on that. I would put serious money on a bet that if you asked her who actually wrote the Constitution, she would say George Washington or Thomas Jefferson. Serious money.

      Only 4 clips out of the "ground-breaking" speech? Or was it shorter than the SOTU?

        I heard the moderator say Palin had to leave. Why...? Didn't they pay her enough? If she loves the teabagger movement so much why didn't she stay and answer every single question from every person?

          That could have caused her to face hardball questions. ... bah, who am I kidding - they probably prescreened everybody before entering.

      obama is to blame for her sway ,if she has any.the white house, and obama need to take on the tea partiers. he has let them have to many issues, and he's let them define his economic policies. there is so many problems with the media arm of the obama administration. sarah palin should not "EVEN" have slightest bit of an influence, and conservative should still be demonized for overseeing the last 8, and arguably 20+,years of bad economic policies. we need a white house that takes on their opponents, the opponents of progress. why has obama conceded so many arguments to them?? the spending freeze was almost an admission of guilt on his part. he should have said we "had" to spend money to stay afloat. he should also say he'd do it again. scott brown won because republicans and tea partiers are winning the narrative!!

        I agree, a lot of times it seems like they don't want to fight back at least not fight back with a lot heat. They should be grilling the Republicans on the current state of the economy. Obama held it to them during his campaign. Well, it is not over. Use one of their tactics against them. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Who cares what McCain says about "Blame It On Bush." The White House should be yelling from the rooftops, "You see this mess the Republicans got us in. Now we're trying to fix it and they won't even lend a helping hand in that."

        It's like Obama wants to play nice guy with a bunch of guys who want to play gangsters. The White House, Dems in Congress, and liberal media should take the fight to them. Stop playing defense all the time. Go on the offensive. They are giving you plenty of things with which to hang them out to dry.

      I guess the consequences are getting $150,000 an hour speaking deals to live in denial. I realize you had to rush out to campaign for Davy Crockett over in Texas, but you couldn't take one more question?
      Do you regret supporting TARP and running for President with a man who said passing TARP was "vital"?
