The reason Sarah Palin will be President in 2012, distilled in one picture

Hi Mom.

That’s what Sarah Palin wrote on her hand today, technically, before speaking at a campaign rally for Rick Perry in Texas.

“Hi Mom” can also be loosely translated as “F-U, Lefties”.



Here’s what Sarah Palin did today, and why it’s not only brilliant, but it’s the chief reason this woman will be our 45th President.

She hit the Left back, in a subtle way that drives them crazy. THAT, friends, is quite an art form. We respect everyone alive who practices this sort of Fu.

Palin knew the Left, particularly the Huffington Post, has been trying to create an issue of several words Palin wrote on her hand before the Tea Party Convention speech yesterday: Energy, Taxes, American Spirit.

We do this too, FYI, whenever we have to do any public speaking, since we don’t usually take notecards with us or have a podium in front of us. We just write down a few key words, on our palm, so that we cover the three or four things we really wanted to talk about…lest we miss one of them. Unlike the current president, we don’t have a TelePrompTer traveling with us everywhere we go. Neither does Palin.

We hope Palin makes the “Hi Mom” thing a regular inside-joke.

The Huffalumps tried to make an issue of her palm-notes…and obsessed over staring at pictures of them yesterday…so Palin sent them a message today, letting them know she’s aware they are scrutinizing her palms…so she might as well send her Mom a message.

Those of you who met Mrs. Heath on Palin’s book tour have told us she’s a VERY nice woman (Mr. Heath too)…so we say “Hi Sarah’s Mom” today too.

Palin is quick with responses to the lunatics on the Left, which is remarkable. She gets in front of a story before it becomes an issue. She hits back hard when needed, but can use more subtle smacks when those are more appropriate.

We think she effectively disarmed this issue, in a humorous, fun way that’s relatable to average Americans.

Her ninja throwing star Facebook dispatches are well-crafted and deadly to her opponents.

Today, she proved her more subtle hits can be just as effective.

This woman has all the skills she needs to become President in two years.

All that’s missing is her ground team…of which we, and hopefully YOU, will surely be a part.

Go, Sarah, Go!

I think if Sarah becomes President, she wo’t object to Texas seceding from the Union. But wih Sarah as President, Texas won’t want to secede.

Mrs. Stone is my sister (seriously).

Like I said before, I hope you feel better.

Reagan did this kind of stuff all the time. His one-liners to idiot libs were classic. Like when some hippie at a CA university while he was Gov screamed to him “we are the future” and he quipped back (so the press could hear), “well, better call my broker”.

Superb.

My wife is as conservative as me but doesn’t care for the constant watching of politics like I do. No talk radio, no watching the opinion shows on cable, no reading, discussing, etc.

But she told me that if Sarah Palin runs in 2012 that she will volunteer, give money, and whatever else she can do.

And she’s very serious about the use of her time.

Can’t say much for Arlington. Traffic is a nightmare, especially with the Cowbows Stadium here now. Lots of ongoing constructin on I-30. And no fast ways to get from I-30 to I-20. But a smaller nightmare than SA. I hate driving around there.

I live nearby to Arlinton in Fort Worth. Moved here a couple years ago with no regrets! Bugs are really not an issue. And I’ve traded a couple months of heat for having to shovel snow.

Fort worth really is a nice area!

As another FR poster wrote yesterday, Sarah should have lifted up her hand and told the Audience it was an Alaskan Blackberry.

Traffic, yuk.

I live way south of Arlington, about 2 hours SE of SA, in a small town close to the coast. We don’t have traffic. :)

Have family and friends all around DFW area that deal with it without much problem. 80 year old aunt and uncle that live in Plano deal with it just fine.

I’ll stay down here and just go visit every once in a while. :)

Crawfish are ok.
A few yrs ago I was in DFW area for a work related seminar. One of our peers took us to a restaurant named Joe T Garcia's. They had only two dinner selections on the menu but it was very generous and very good.
I quickly noticed that just about every female that worked there was attractive. At least it seemed that way to me.
After dinner we went to a few bars in FW. One had saddles in lieu of chairs or bar stools. I declined sitting on one, it seemed like something kids would enjoy though.

P.S. Try and make it to that bar in Houston where The Battlefield Band will be playing sometime around St Patrick's Day.
