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 expect just knowing she was going to walk out and make it a point of displaying the document would say volumes! She could let the youngest daughter do it sometimes, Todd other times. After a while it would become a huge put down of Obama and his refusal to produce his BC.
Best observation of the thread! I would like to post that at DU....if I could stand to go over there.
I bought the speeches of Ronald Reagan on ebay, and I’m listening to them for the 2nd time through. The man connected with the press like no other President in my lifetime, that’s for sure. Always a joke, a kind gesture, always made sure he took questions from both sides of the room, always included a question from “newbie” reporters to make them feel welcome, and on and on. He often used humor, but always came across sincere. Best $10 I ever spent.
The other guy gets to chose some of the battles, this wasn’t of Sarah’s chosing. But she won, with humor, basically saying the complainers were being too silly to justify a formal response.
I laughed myself silly when he said The bombing begins in 5 minutes........he was the master. Sarah does pretty good too..
Please tell the group, you self-absorbed yenta, exactly how you know this. You must've been on a very personal or even professional level with Reagan to make this claim. Were you a good friend and neighbor or did you work in the Reagan admin?
(LOL at "r-word")
Take up knitting, Mrs Stone.
>that Ronald Reagan would not have handled it that way>
You know this how?
I actually met Reagan and talked to him.
Worked at his headquarters here in San Diego when he first ran for gov.
Saw him many times in person as Gov. and President.
He vacationed here when Gov.
He had a real sense of humor and Sarah Palin’s sense of sarcastic humor is much like his was.
Michael Reagan, his son has said she is much like his dad.
Not at all.
So.. scored any good books lately?
The poor thing thinks he's got it all figured out so he sits down and writes out his super theory and makes a complete ass of himself.
How do people this stupid even function in society? I guess he's just on food stamps and welfare.
I hope you feel better now.
Exactly and I am surprised that some Conservatives don’t see that? They must be the ones who think we have to be better and all of that other junk that costs us elections?
That clip is from the tea party speech the photo is from yesterdays appearance with Gov. Perry. Two different places.
Off topic Q:
Regarding the San Antonio area and the Arlington area could you name the best reasons one might move to these places? The reasons one might not wish to?
No better than you could using the same search criteria.
I know some folks in both areas but me, I've never lived in either. Texas is big.
Texas has an acceptable tax structure and gun laws I can live with.
I'm biased, I have an ancestral stake in the place.
I've pinged a few trusted folks who will have better region-specific views on Texas.
Hey, y'all.. who lives in San Antonio? We had an event there once..
It depends upon where you are, and in what proximity to water as regards trees.
Otherwise, yeah. Bugs and heat.
Although we have different bugs in different places.
Nobody eats dust bugs but mud bugs?
HOOO-WEEE!
