Palin says Obama is "without the experience" to "get policy through" -- "it's a bit over his head"

If Obama resigns midway through his term, we'll call on you. Until then, keep quiet while the grownups are talking.
Sarah Palin, Umm your Hair, is it time for a Wig or a Hat?
I thought Oprah was kidding but now i'm not so Sure.
Are you going Bald Sarah & Does Obamacare have the Cure?
Speak truth to power.
Mr. News
Yea, Sarah Palin pulls off her Wig, Shakes the Can & her Bald Spot just goes.
1.5 million a show? For Ms. Palin that idea just might be a goodie.
You could call it "Sarah-in-a-can", "Who-Needs-A-Hoodie"
Speak truth to power.
Mr. News
Obama has been president for over a year and still doesn't have any experience getting policy through. He is sure a slow learner. No wonder all he could do before this was be a soap-box rabble rouser for the residence of the slums. When he does something for the good of ALL people perhaps Palin (and others) will stop criticizing the experience that Obama has. But, that won't be likely, because Obama is a liberal and facts have shown liberals only care about themselves and say 'screw the rest of you'. What has Obama done to help this nation that Bush didn't already put into motion? That's right ... nothing. Let's see some progress, for a CHANGE. Heck, he can't even pass a national health care bill while having full control of the house and senate. What a non-experienced loser!
I mean, shoot, that $800B stimulus bill went NO WHERE, didn't it?
Man, if only Obama could have moved HCR bills as far a long as, say, Bill Clinton, right?
Are you a complete moron, or just 1/2 a moron?
http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/u/united_states_economy/economic_stimulus/index.html
Congress gets seated in early January, a few weeks before the president get inaugurated. And at President-elect Obama's DIRECTION, the financial stimulus bill was crafted so that it could be passed by him as soon as was possible after he got inaugurated.
But Bush was still president when it was begun. But he didn't put it into motion, as Floyd asserted. That's a gross lie on Floyd's part. It was Obama and Democrats who made it happen. Not Bush. He was a placeholder for his last 2 months in office - that's all.
See? YOU people are the ones lying! Bush was president when the stimulus got started on, so Bush was responsible for it's creation, not Obama. As much as you people lie, you should be the ones called trolls. At least I offer truth in my reposnses, you people don't.
dell-- But Bush was still president when it was begun. But he didn't put it into motion, as Floyd asserted.
Yes, he did. Of course if you got something that says he wasn't president when work started on that stimulus package I would be interested in reading that proof. Do you have any proof of your claims or are they lies too? Or do you have proof that Obama crafted the stimulus package ... as you claim.
Of course I've noticed a distinct habit of dell posting rebuttals but never offering proof of her statements. It's as if we are supposed to take her word for it on reputation alone. Sorry, but her reputation is of someone who posts without the requirement of having to prove lies brought to the table. So, bring proof!
can you pls tell me where wmds is?because bush didnt lie right???
tax cuts that he didnt pay for?and what ever happened the budget surplus that bill clinton left bush cheney?
Oh you mean that round of tax rebates that, by your own source, utterly failed since people took their extra money and either saved it or used it pay bills? You do know that for economies to work, money must change hands, not put in the bank?
Obama's stimulus was a different animal aimed at creating jobs and unfreezing credit markets.
Yea, "Floyd the Barber" he could repair Sarah Palin's Dreads.
"CITIZEN'S ARREST", "CITIZEN'S ARREST"
That's what "Floyd" would yell at Obama and it wouldn't be in Jest.
Speak truth to power.
Mr. News
You people are truly a joke that keeps on giving. Any chance you have looked at the unemployment numbers lately - albeit Obama promised unemployment wouldn't go over 8% with "his" stimulus package (it's his when it reflects good while it's Bush's when it reflects bad, according to Leftists). And the stimulus sure has "unfrozen" credit markets hasn't it. Individuals and small businesses can't get loans because the Banks have tightened up their ridiculous qualification requirements to the point of requiring me to put 50% down on a small $150K second house!
However, in your case "residence of the slums" says it all...
This sexist bit of drivel ("She is attractive! This is an important quality for a female politician!") is the first sentence in your post and you honestly expect anyone to take the rest of what you say seriously.
I mean, beyond the fact that it's a vile and slimy thing to say in the first place.
How has the media treated her family poorly? Are you still whining about that dumb Letterman joke?
Which is why she's on TV making political statements.
Try to keep your sexual fantasies out of this.
So I take it you hate John McCain, Rudy Giuliani, Newt Gingrich, Tom DeLay, Ted Haggard, Bernard Kerik, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Livingston, Bob Packwood, David Vitter, Bill O'Reilly and Bob Barr. Oh, no, wait, of course you don't, because IOKIYAR.
FIXED
Neither did Charlie Manson nor John Gotti.
...you really don't get it, do you?
This is the most irrelevant argument I have ever seen. No, it's not even an argument. It's pure, unfiltered inanity.
Nobody cares what a political figure looks like, okay?
Of course, we'd never hear these things about a male politician... at least not by default (Scott Brown is the guy who saved the Senate from EVIL LIBRULZ first and a piece of meat second; Palin is a piece of meat first). But why can't anyone have a conversation about Sarah Palin without it eventually denigrating to "LOL, SHE'S HOT."
Don't you see how this is degrading to your own side? Do you truly, honestly want Sarah Palin to be "just another pretty face?"
Gah. Just... gah.
Bible Spice Palin is only sexy to those who like a very phony type of sexuality, preferably with the mute button on. She looks like John Boehners identical twin to me.
The President and I beg to differ:
Your sexual preference is your business, Floyd . . .
...all right, you're off the hook because I see what you did there. :D
Well, I still have over half of my bag of Purina Troll Chow.....
Ha! ha! Palin and the rightwing noise machine stop criticizing? Yeah, that'll happen.
The Stimulus Bill
Credit Card Reform
all come to mind..But how about the 100+ bills passed by the House waiting for the disfunctional Republican obstructed Senate to pass???
For Sarah Palin to call something above anyone's head is remarkable since she has the depth of a dime's thickness.
She was busy planning for renovation of the Wasila town well and planning new shelves for the Library before spending about a year learning to govern a state of under 1 million people before going into campaign mode and has done no governing since.She's still too dumb to know how ignorant she is and it shows when she opens her mouth!!It's just so easy to attack the President and offer nothing as an alternative!
No experience getting policy through?
This would seem to suggest otherwise . . .
She is in front of a fake background.. Sarah's hair is blowin in the wind ... how did she do dat?
However big you think you are
However big you think you are
Sexy Sarah oooh you'll get yours yet.
We gave her everything we owned just to sit at her table
Just a smile would lighten everything
Sexy Sarah she's the latest and the greatest of them all.
She made a fool of everyone
Sexy Sarah.
However big you think you are
Sexy Sarah.
Apologies to Lennon and McCartney
Make it 150!
After I started you down that long and winding road!
More like Jonas Bros. , meet the Beatles.
I'd go with "Porsche, meet Honda."
Or perhaps Prius . . .
yea, OK, what a stickler.
(For those of you who don't know, Lake Lucille is a "dead" lake and there ARE no fish. Palin's property backs onto the lake and they have a dock attached to their property that their plane is tethered to. It is common knowledge that there are no fish))
Being a celebrity is great, eh, Sarah...? Not much work or responsibility required, huh?
He sure is, juliajayne:

. . . and that's just before 9:00 AM!
You think you're making a jab at the normal people here, but you're unwittingly adding to the punchline that you guys already are.
These Republican humor crisis's are getting funnier all the time.
Floyd, you should be so slow. As David Gergen, who'd worked in every White House from Nixon to Clinton (with the possible exception of Carter's) said after Obama decimated the House Republicans, "...the Republicans should be terrified of Obama's learning curve."
Unfortunately, that's exactly the president we HAD from 1/20/01 to 1/20/09 -- which partly explains WHY the US is in it's worst crisis in decades . . .
Apparently, at least in wingnut world, if you make the same assertion over and over and over and over and over and over again, eventually it magically turns into fact?
To be honest, soze169880, I'm not really sure.
And, if that doesn't work, you can always simply repeatedly bash your head against a brick wall.
Seems to have worked for Piyush Jindal fan . . .
*Shudders*
We get it. You hate the President. Am I gonna hafta call animal control?
I have said he is uniquely evil and I have said he hates America. I stand by those statements. I have never said I hate someone I do not know. I hate the things he is doing to the country, but I never said I hate him.
Except that it has never been revealed - not once. Loathing and contempt are not the same things as hate.
My perspective on hated comes from St. Augustine. Hatred is more injurious to the soul of the holder of hatred than it is to the object of the hatred.
Brankly, Barry isn't worth hating. I would assign him more relevence that he deserves if I were to muster the effort (hatred does require effort) to hate him.
Barry is like something I scrape off the bottom of my shoe. I don't hate it - but I pay it no heed.
Loathing isn't the same thing? Mr. Webster disagrees with you:
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/loathe
Loathe
to dislike, be hateful, from lāth
to dislike greatly and often with disgust or intolerance.
If you didn't pay heed to Obama, you wouldn't be mentioning him so often, do you ever know what you're talking about?
Or: online medical dictionary
Congratulations, Porkeater; that, I believe is a very accurate diagnosis.
And PJ fan, don't fret: once the health care reform bill passes, you will still be able to receive treatment for your disorder -- even though it's obviously a "pre-existing condition" . . .
And the other half are when he ventures away from mere opinion and deals with actual facts... that are invariably wrong. This is followed by someone providing proof that he's wrong, whereupon he either (a) claims that the proof is wrong, which is wrong, or (b) disappears with his tail between his legs, only to come back on a new thread with the claim that he's never, ever been disproven.
Which is, of course, wrong.
I doubt you believed he was right about Iraq, since someone with political beliefs as strong as yours would have suited up and but his own ass on the line to show his president that he supported him.
Isn't that what "patriots" like yourself and the other heroes on the right do?
They get other people's children to go fight for them while they hide in the reserves or get deferments for...imagined illnesses...
Just a day or so ago you became very upset that anyone here had the gall to suggest that you had ever told us that you had taken the LSAT--because, you said, you have NEVER taken the LSAT and therefore you would never have said that.
= full of it.
Your soul isn't doing so well right now.
That's right folks now they are "exposed".
Floyd and BJ were recently fired from the Beehive hair salon in Wassilla.
They were sooo melancholy over the demise of Fess Parker that they inadvertently gave $arah that coonskin cap hair do..
Now they a forced to pay penance by defending $arah and all things FOX and teabaggy on every single blog north of the Mason/Dixon line.
Wrong again BJboy.
"How am I dishonest. I have never represented myself to be anything other than a right wing conservative. I hate Obama - I want him to fail. The government is my enemy."
Are you starting to remember now? And of course, saying you would vote for the unabomber over Obama does not mean you hate him at all....
BTW, while googling for this, I couldn't help noticing that you hate an awful lot of things.
You sure about that?
by Bobby Jindal fan (March 05, 2010 2:32 pm ET) 2
Barry is a moron who is leading us straight off a cliff. My reasons for despising him have nothing to do with his race - I hate him because he is a Marxist who hates America. Bobby Jindal fan...
Which is why ONE person should debunk the FIRST thing he says that's nonsense, mock it and him, then tell others to not feed the troll post.
Then, when he TRIES to foist more nonsense on us with other replies to other posts, do the same thing. Then we don't get get endless strings with him getting LOTS of negative attention and the actual topic not being discussed.
Gotchya!!!!!!!!!
What exactly do you think hate means, BJ Fan? Ever heard of synonyms?
He is a walking punchline.
Bobby Jindal fan?
I am Jeff Smith of the FBI!
I have some Questions for you!
Concerning your attacks and negitive comments ..
about...
the PRESIDENT!
That's like saying you wished someone would fall off a cliff, hear the cracking of their own bones, taste their own blood and fade into shadows, but I never said I wished them dead. Embarrassingly disingenuous pap from a habitual purveyor of right wing flotsam. I'd say you are off your game, but that assumes you ever had one to begin with.
Randy
Trying to play both sides and claim none at all.
How do you know what I have been saying for the past eight years? I blasted GWB for TARP. I criticized him as hard as any liberal ever has after he endorsed TARP and the AIG bailout. Those were disgraceful - and they were not capitalist. I have said that Bush is not a capitalist - he is a corporatist who believes in crony capitalism - not free market capitalism.
In hindsight I believe he was right about Iraq, but dead wrong about TARP and insane spending. I vehemently opposed Medicare Part D. GWB was a decent president for the first six years, but after 2006 he stopped listening to Cheney and his last two years were an unmitigated disaster. GWB's eight years were a mixed bag to say the least.
Did you fight in this war?
when you graduate elementary school, you're welcome to repost a more intelligent statement. Until then go back to getting fried boy.
There was also a report of one canister of mustard gas that had been improperly stored and rendered ineffective.
Iraq was not shown to have possessed any weapons of mass destruction.
What is "veried," Floyd? Maybe you should find a dictionary before challenging another poster's education.
Finally something we agree on.
All right. You have my attention. Seriously. As an economics maven what, in your opinion, would have been the consequences if there had been no TARP or any other bailouts?
We've all heard the doomsday scenerio that the "experts" gave us, but what say you? Should I presume that you would have been unaffected or would you have had to "take your medicine" like the rest of us? Just give it to me straight.
I mean....really?!? Didn't you JUST get finished telling US how WE were acting over the past eight years?? But somehow you're so terribly offended that someone else could ever have the audacity to do the exact same thing you just did to us, to you.
This is breathtaking hypocrisy.
Don't ever try to take the high road again, you just left it.
7 years ago, OUR President led us on a hunt for WMD's which still haven't been located. Over 4000 of our best have died. Until Obama shows that kind of impatience and rush to judgment, I think he'll be much better that GWB.
To your point about "not running anything," thread after thread you champion a woman who left Wasilla in a tremendous amount of debt, but you admire her fiscal conservatism. That same woman hired a lobbyist to campaign for dollars for her small town, but you hate that type of politics.
Alaska also gets more federal money per capita than any other state, but yet you rail against big government and spending.
Which Palin should we admire, BJF, the words or the actions?
I think your boy needs to perform an exorcism on you, you don't know which Palin to rally behind.
In other words: "you called my daddy a boor, so i'm calling your daddy a pig!"
Learn this, from friedbergboy1422: "YOUR President? My President? No, BJF, both men were/are OUR President."
I know it's going to be a tough weekend for you and that's why you're feeling out of sorts. There, there. It'll all be over on Sunday. So just open a window and breathe (I got a feeling the fumes may be getting to you).
Yes, BJ, Sarah sure is purty and yes, you betcha, she's a towering intellect (not like Obama who can barely string three words together). She's way better than the president of the United States--she's a real celebrity! And like you, I really really hope she runs for the presidency in 2012 (no matter what the polls say.
Did she scare you into not turning in your census? Because she recently changed her mind.
Mommy's taking BJ and his siblings to the teabag-fest ? That's nice. Nice of BJ's dad to share custody, too.
Precisely! I agree with every word of this quote.
Gasp! Are you gay?
Guess that makes sense considering your name.
It's okay, BJ Fan, you're free to live your life however you want to.
bintx was right! you are a baby!
You are doing what he WANTS you to do. You're being used. You think that's fun, being used by a troll who is trying to hinder the best use of this site?
How is that fun?
You're being used. Stop playing into the trolls scheme.
On second thought, why don't you do what you want to do, and the rest of us will do what we want to.
On second thought, you might have a point.
Boy you sure told everyone, didn't you BJ?
There you go.......the playground is yours.....excuse us whilst the grown ups talk.....shhhhh
Sarah "The Quitter" Palin was a weathergirl, mayor of a tiny tiny little town, and almost served ONE WHOLE TERM as governor of Alaska. Not only is she not a constitutional expert, but she failed to name even one Supreme Court decision about which she had an opinion, aside from Roe V. Wade.
If you want to talk about running a business, George W. Bush failed at the oil business. In Texas. He couldn't even get elected president. He had to be appointed.
I understand that you don't like President Obama personally, Bobby Jindal fan, but you're getting a little shrill here.
And you know what's really funny?
Neither has Sarah.
Well, she DID run Wasilla -- $20+ million into debt . . .
Or is it her zen master-like ability to stick her foot in her mouth?
ROFLOL!
I LOVE IT!!!
Republicans have been geared to obstruct from the moment Obama took office. I honestly believe they value right wing ideology greater than the welfare of the country.
Ok...I get it.
Sarah did an extraordinary job running a city and a state. She is FAR more experienced that a slimy community organizer.
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – Sarah Palin is closer to landing a deal for a reality show.
Sources say A&E Networks and Discovery Communications want to acquire Palin's project, which focuses on the ex-governor giving a guided tour of her native Alaska -- visiting fishing boats and taking a trip to a gold mine, to cite a couple of examples. Mark Burnett is executive producer of the project, whose working title is "Sarah Palin's Alaska."
The former vice presidential candidate is asking for between $1 million and $1.5 million per episode, a hefty amount for a first-year cable series.
Palin initially pitched the show to broadcast networks. Given the show's laid-back nature theme and lack of high-stakes drama that tends to typify broadcast reality hits, industry executives see cable as a better fit.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100319/ts_nm/us_palin
The producer will be Mark Burnett, google him
Do you always make things up when you're embarrassed?
I'm sure that there is some commercial tie in for S.S. but; she isn't scheduled to be paid that kind of money.
I think Sarah took over the reality show when she realized Bristol would actually be making money... Sarah no like share!
<sarcasm>
But seriously, BJF, howcum no one of genuine class agrees with you?
Boom.
Boom.
You don't believe half of what your write.
You don't think Palin is worthy of the presidency.
You don't doubt Obama is more than capable.
Someone has found your true face..see above or National_Insecurity posted Image.... This is how I will see you each time I read you here at MMFA.
Can't tell the trolls without a scorecard around here....
or maybe a book
Paraphrasing Whoopi Goldberg on sex ed: They didn't want to teach the kids about how babies are made. "No," they said, "it's a miracle! The miracle of life. We can't teach that to the kids." I said "Miracle?! Yeah, but so is popcorn if you don't know how it happens!"
Oh yeah, that Sarah has real class!
Palin's so classy she made an in-person appearance, in order to pardon the local Thanksgiving turkey in 2008.
Of course, she also gave an interview to the local television reporter, while turkey after turkey were slaughtered on camera directly behind her.
I'd suggest you don't eat a turkey sandwich before you watch the video BJ.
Sarah Palin Turkey Incident...
BJ may be a flake, but he's a damn funny flake!
"Barry" graduated from Harvard years ago, so he doesn't have class anymore. Is Moosellini going to night school for her GED ?
Moosellini is an actual college grad and all, but the right wing fellers are willing to overlook that, 'cause she is dimwittedly eager to attack anything that is based upon logic and reason.
Of course, I'm also not a festering boil on the backside of intellectual discourse, so that helps.
What am I saying? Of course they don't.
They aren't managers. They make global decisions. They have a staff of at least 100 people JUST in the White House and many thousands more in the Cabinet and other Executive Branch offices to run things.
This ridiculous accusation that she has some superior experience because she was a very small town mayor and tiny state's governor with all kinds of federal dollars coming in and lots of oil money - it's baloney. It doesn't hold water.
"I said thanks but no thanks on that bridge ta nowhey-urr!"
Seriously? A THUG?
This is the problem here. These conservatives live in an insulated world of partisan hate. The President is human and therefore flawed like any one of us. One could even make exaggerations about his perceived negative qualities and be within the reasonable realm of rhetoric.
However...
This THUG thing is part of a long line of "throw 'em out there and see what sticks" daily smears and insults manufactured to deepen the seed of hatred in the minds of the insulated right wing media consumer.
The goal is to keep the consumer at a constant state of fuming hatred for the opposition. This has three distinct effects:
1) blind and unreasonable partisanship against the Democratic party and anyone outside of the narrow neo-conservative worldview
2) causes the right wing media consumer to ignore and excuse the shortcomings and bad behavior of the republican party
3) cloud or remove informed discourse and intelligent discussion from the table
By the way, just how is he a THUG? Give examples of THUGGISH behavior on the part of our President.
So shameful and childish!
Anyone who couldn't finish one term being a governor of the least populated state in the nation without quitting is incapable of, and unqualified to assess anyone else's qualifications and abilities. STFU, Palin. I detest seeing dumb on parade.
He's the leader of the free world. You're a freeloader in the world.
To be generous, I certainly hope not.
Sorry for the obscure reference but those who know who I am talking about understand. You just TOO perfect!
I think he is just saying such silly things to instigate conflict. Nobody can be so blind... can they?
Oh god I feel sick.
Yupper. Executive Branch experience may be had only if you know how to use a Nieman Marcus charge card or if you can allow your 16 year old daughter to be sperm-inserted by an illiterate Snowbilly. Difficult times, difficult choices. Heavy hangs the hair-do. Also.
No attempt? No attempt? How dumb are you?
I feel sorry for you.. Most people if told over and over and then shown.. over and over that they are incorrect, well look at the ideas they may have and adjust them..
Maybe.. JUST MAYBE you may be wrong.. Just give the idea a thought..
If you think you are a good Christian,, well in EVER action ask yourself.. IS THIS CHRIST LIKE?

Sorry Its early and no Coffee yet..
I tell you, that experience is golden.
sure palin, and how many ivy league colleges did you graduate from top of your class? How many times have you quit or failed at different career's because they were too difficult for your level of comprehension. What a pathetic, greedy, hypocritical and ignorant human being palin is.

You know what would really impress her? If you never posted here again. Quitting turns her on.
What else can I say but, Sarah, please do yourself a favor and zip up your mendacious lips. You are in no position to offer insight on any subjects besides drafting resignation letters and transferring college credits.

Well, that's not exactly true.
I'm certain she could give expert advice on beauty pageant participation; you'll just need to seek outside help for the Q&A portion . . .
And my answer to that is:
"I happen to feel that the degree of a person's intelligence is directly reflected by the number of conflicting attitudes she can bring to bear on the same topic.

"Teletubbies" is a bit over Caribou Barbie's head...
Why is anyone still asking this woman what she thinks??
It's that I'm shocked that anyone cares enough to actually listen.
