Many have tired of Donald Trump hogging so many headlines as of late, so now it’s time to let that attention-starved potential Republican presidential candidate Sarah Palin get some of her spotlight back. In her latest Facebook post, Palin unleashes a harsh assessment of President Obama’s Libya policy and throws out a few lines that should start to remind people that the bombastic Trump is not the only Republican who is ready to talk tough and who can legitimately bring the fight to Obama.
Palin demands to know from Obama why exactly are we fighting in Libya, suggesting:
“Between you and your advisers the public has been given so many conflicting statements on why we’re intervening in Libya that I apologize if I can’t keep up with the timing and rationale of your murky foreign policy positions. . . . Mr. President, your hesitation and vacillation in the Middle East breed uncertainty. It’s symptomatic of the puzzling way you govern.”
Yet the harshest words come from her perspective that Obama prioritizes campaigning for re-election ahead of leading the country:
“It’s unbelievable to me that you spent last week in campaign mode, gallivanting around the country to start raising the billion dollars for your reelection bid that is still 19 months away ‘while Rome burns.’ . . . As was recently asked: When do you ever just ‘roll up your sleeves, unplug the teleprompter’ and do the job of governing and administrating for which voters hired you? I know, I know, granted you will be even busier very soon. After all, golf season kicks into high gear shortly. NBA and NHL brackets await.”
Now that ladies and gentleman, in my opinion, is an entertaining smackdown. Unfortunately, what is Palin doing wasting this on Facebook?!? Trump is dominating the Republican primary polls precisely because he is fearlessly sharing his criticism of Obama with any television interviewer who will listen. Despite conventional wisdom now suggesting Palin is not interested in running for President as potential candidates like Trump and Congresswoman Michele Bachmann eclipse her in popularity, by writing this post, Palin clearly wants her name to still be in the mix. Republican primary voters are desperate for their potential candidate to not only passionately stand up to Obama, but to also demonstrate they won’t back down from the perceived “Obama-friendly” media. Trump and Bachmann have already cleared this hurdle by engaging the media on various issues. Palin can definitely clear it too, she’s just got to be willing to jump.

I’m sick a tire of hearing about conventional wisdom
Conventional Wisdom is rarely conventional and usually not wise.
“And Start Governing”

That’s the last thing that I want him to do.
We are already too close to becoming a Marxist state.
He starts out being pretty smarmy about Sarah, but I notice he is unable to argue with any of the points she makes.
Does this jerk really think that bombing Libya without consulting congress or the American people was a good idea?
Does he really think that Obama should be playing games and running around the country campaigning when our economy is collapsing and food and gas prices are soaring?
Agreed. This will be an election like no other.
Well, for starters it is unfiltered and secondly it is still more exposure than the alphabet networks would have been able to provide.
Now I know where all the unspent tarp and bailout money are going.
He’s going to use it putting hundreds of thousands of people to work in his re-election campaign.
Not kidding.
I do like the new meme. Gov Palin is attention grabbing now....ROFL.... I also like how the writer can say with a straight face that MB who is stuck at <5% in the polls is more popular than Gov Palin who is polling between 15-10% in the polls.
“Unfortunately, what is Palin doing wasting this on Facebook?”
You know,, some people say it’s going to get pretty big, especially with the young whippersnappers and worthless people who watch American Idol.
Watch and learn,,,
civilian national security force
Not kidding either.
"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."--Obama
Obama’s governing style can best be described as the Magic 8 Ball theory.
My god, forget about Libya. How about the fact that he is doing NOTHING!??? The best weapon liberals have against the USA is having someone in the WH who does absolutely nothing which is exactly what our first foreign born Islamic President is doing and exactly why we are on light speed traveling towards a 3rd world classification. When Obama is out, make no doubt he will be high fiving every Islamo.
Yes, if the Magic 8 ball says “Do nothing” for every answer.
This is what we need more of, get on his back and hammer away every day.
