November 12, 2013, 03:25 pm Palin: Clinton was right, Obama 'not qualified'

By Rebecca Shabad

Sarah Palin says former President Bill Clinton’s statements from 2008 about President Obama not being ready for the White House were on the mark.

In an interview to air Tuesday on CNN’s “The Lead with Jake Tapper," Palin recalled statements Bill Clinton made when Hillary Clinton was campaigning against Obama during the 2008 primary season.

"I'll never forget Bill Clinton saying about Barack Obama and his story, his agenda, that it was the biggest fairy tale he'd ever seen," Palin said during the CNN interview.

"And he was right, because Barack Obama was not qualified, he was not prepared, and the manifestation of that today is the problem that we see left and right in our economy," she said.

After watching a clip of Bill Clinton from the 2008 campaign trail, “the biggest fairy tale” the former president was referring to was Obama’s earlier comments opposing the Iraq War, and slamming Hillary Clinton for not doing the same.

Palin's comments come the same day Bill Clinton said Obama should honor his promise that people could keep their health insurances plans under ObamaCare if they liked them.

Obama agrees with Bill Clinton, the White House later said. Spokesman Jay Carney said the president asked his team to look at options that would allow people to keep their insurance.

Palin will soon go on a national tour promoting her new book “Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas.”

The former GOP vice presidential nominee has previously expressed interest in running for the White House herself.

It’s much easier to deal with hostile questions when you’re answering for yourself, rather than representing another person.

I prefer to focus on the ideology rather than ‘qualifications’.

The right ideology is the number one qualifier... there are others but that is the most important one!

“...Palin was grilled over her insistence that women face more scrutiny in politics than men.”

Then why wasn’t Obama scrutinized more?

Ha Ha Ha Ha! Sarah Palin’s appearance has always been an issue with the “Katy Couricites” because her physical appearance is “Extreme” - EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL! - They’re pea-green with envy! (They attack her on all fronts, except the one they really want to - her appearance.)
