The was a time when everyone loved making fun of GOP vice presidential canidate Sarah Palin. Its her turn to get the final laugh.
As CBS recounts, in October 2008, after Russias invasion of neighboring Georgia emerged as a foreign policy flashpoint in the homestretch of a heated campaign, Palin told an audience in Nevada, After the Russian army invaded the nation of Georgia, Senator Obamas reaction was one of indecision and moral equivalence, the kind of response that would only encourage Russias Putin to invade Ukraine next.
Just as amusing was the response to Palins comments by foreign policy experts, Foreign Policy magazine, which said, As weve said before, this is an extremely far-fetched scenario. And given how Russia has been able to unsettle Ukraines pro-Western government without firing a shot, I dont see why violence would be necessary to bring Kiev to heel.
Coming just a few months after subprime turned out not to be contained despite everyones fervent belief that it was, this is not all that surprising.
And now its time to gloat: Im usually not one to Told-Ya-So, but I did, despite my accurate prediction being derided as an extremely far-fetched scenario by the high-brow Foreign Policy magazine, Palin wrote Friday.
Heres what this stupid, insipid woman predicted in 2008, she added, before rehashing her prediction.
Talk radio host Mark Levin tweeted, Palin not only knows where Russia is, but she knew what Putin would do to Ukraine with Obama as president.
Then again, back in 2008 a lot of people were also talking about hope and change. Five years later people have to look up the definition of hope, as for change, the best place to find it is in the 11 million people who have dropped out of the labor force in that time.
"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"
"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"
"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"
"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"
"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"
Obama tells Putin if you like Ukraine you can keep Ukraine
Sometimes when one is close to God, you may have a certain intuition that others don’t. Kind of like a doctor diagnosing a patient just by looking at them. It is all knowledge funneled in by the Holy Spirit. That is why America is in big trouble. God is being removed from our nation.
I love Sarah, but she has always needed to go to a speech therapist. If it change Margaret Thatchers career...it might just help Sarah.
Baloney.
He might be being removed by the secular humanists who are now in office, but He is held even tighter by those of us who love Him.
Obama and his fellow socialists have done us a favor...they have identified themselves...exposed themselves.
When your enemy stands up and says "here we are"...that is a positive thing.
Isn’t everyone ignoring the fact that there was a revolution?
interesting
I daresay that I learned more in 12 weeks at the now defunct Defense Information School (DINFOS) at Ft. Ben Harrison (Indianapolis, Indiana) than most so-called broadcast journalists learn in four years. Mr. Rundas enunciation class was a lesson unto itself. If he’s still around, he’d be perfect. He’d get “Mushmouth” from the Cosby Kids a network job in weeks.
Maggie Thatcher was just a grocer's daughter (a provincial)...but she learned how (with help from a speech therapist) to project her potential for greatness. She learned how to make her ideas resound.
This is what Sarah needs.
Sarah is fighting a war on several fronts...but she can win if she captures the heart of America.
She can do it...but she has to broaden her appeal by tuning her persona.
Not by changing who she is...just making sure that a broader audience sees who she is.
The majority is conservative...but they have to have a champion. And that champion has to be clearly recognizable.
That is Sarah...but she has to reach a broader audience.
She needs a voice/speech coach...and she needs to consider the ways in which to approach her potential followers.
They are not all soccer moms. But they will still identify with Sarah when they come to know her.
true
What, did she have a stroke? Traumatic brain injury or tumor affecting speech or motor functions especially speech and or swallowing?
Aphasia or paraphasia?
Second deviation lisp or hyponasality or hypernasality?
Or just a regional accent you’re not familiar with?
No, I’m not a speech therapist I’m just married to one. Accent reduction therapy is less than one percent of what they do. Typically ESL adults with her strong foreign accents. Treating an american regional accent as some sort of speech disorder?
She hasn’t done it in 30 years of practice nor taught such a thing to any of her graduate students. That’s not what speech therapists do. They have people with real problems to treat.
And frankly, I consider Maggie a bit higher than Sarah because she did what she had to...she went on to greatness.
Sarah is still trying to make a mark.
Potential greatness is not greatness...it is only potential.
If Sarah doesn't get the job...it is always only potential.
I appreciate the work you wife does...but study Maggie Thatcher’s bio and you will see the change.

Back in 2008, I saw Palin as Reagan's natural successor. In many respects, I still see that today. Her type really is the last hope for America. But something is missing.
