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 would like to see her get a giant print of her birth certificate, have mounted on foam core and laminated, then without comment hang it over the front of every podium she speaks from until election day. She should walk out, hang the document and then go right into her speech or whatever. When she’s asked she should have a series of clever responses all ready for delivery!

I think I’d have written “If you can read this....you’re too close.”

OK OK, that’s the polite version of what I’d really want to write.

You choose your battles. This is not one of them.

That's why "Hi Mom" is so great, Sarah didn't make it a battle, she, and America are laughing at them.

Satirical post of the day. Probably used by the clueless types at DU. Gotta love it!

Sarah has a killer sense of humor, just like Glenn Beck and Ronald Reagan. It is not childish, it is clever,cutting edge, and gutsy, all great traits of a good candidate. Lets wish Glenn and Sarah happy Birthday Weds and Thurs, and belated to “The Gipper”. By the way, I think the Romney hate is way beyond overkill, I think he is very qualified in every way except Charisma. She is the real deal, and does not appear like a stuffed shirt, miss priss, she appeals to us because she is capable of hitting back and still not looking mean or vindictive.

omg...i was thinking the other day—what if a bunch of Libs have plans to register as Republicans just to keep the Tea Party candidates out of the running during the main elections.

the same way I am worried they might pull something funky in 2012 too: register as Republicans to vote for Romney against Palin in the primaries.

Am I being too paranoid?!

The foolish Republicans don’t require party membership/registry to vote in Pubby primaries.

WHAT!

or maybe that's a good thing...maybe i underestimate the vast appeal of the Tea Party. there are obviously fed up independents--but maybe fed up dems too!

hmm!
