Sarah Palin Is Smarter Than The Media Think
MarketWatch ^ | By Jon Friedman,

The news junkies can't get enough of her

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Sarah Palin is the most fascinating politician of her time. Sure, Barack Obama is the most accomplished and respected but news junkies can't get enough of Palin, love or hate her.

She is a lightning rod. The left loves to mock her as a buffoon. In the New York Times, Maureen Dowd dubbed Palin as "Caribou Barbie."

Palin has to expect coverage like that in the Times , the darling of the Eastern establishment elite. She has mastered the art of using the media to divide and conquer and is using it to solidify her hold on her political base.

Go ahead. Call her stupid and unsophisticated and goofy and sleazy. But understand that Palin also has more street smarts when it comes to keeping her name in the news than anyone today on the national scene. She has mastered the media by acting like the star of her own reality television series.

On Tuesday morning, Time Warner Inc.'s CNN aired an interview with Palin as a reporter caught up to her while she was on a fishing trip with her family. She was as feisty and defiant as ever. "I'm not going to take the comfortable path," she said.

Palin bristled when the reporter implied that America now might view her as a quitter. She is resigning her post to go off and, presumably, make millions of dollars to run for the 2012 presidency.

"I'm certainly not a quitter," she stressed. "I'm not going to close any door."

The idiotic buffoons are the low IQ displayed by the mainstream media and who they supported in WH.

I’m going to use this line to infuriate and confuse any lib that I come across:

“Sarah Palin’s smarter than 0bama, you know.”

Well, he got elected president, which is an accomplishment. Prior to that, his record is even sparser than Palin's.

If Sarah went to court to get a restraining order against the Libs and MSM for stalking I’m absolutely sure the Judge would grant one.

(someone) dubbed Palin as “Caribou Barbie.”

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Actually that’s a compliment...

Hillary, San Fran Nan Nan, Barbie Boxer and Michelle Obama would loved to be called “Barbie”

And how about a Barbie that talks...

“Shooting caribou and moose is not hard.”

“I have good gun control”

“I aim in the right direction”

I found it entertaining that she was accused of announcing her resignation at the start of a holiday weekend (during the MJ frenzy), to keep it from being reported. She’s been one of the biggest news items since then, and these idiots think they’re hurting her by talking about her.

Wake Up America! Sarah Palin is being subjected to the same propaganda machine that plagued President Bush during his term.....the left CAN'T allow any Republican or conservative to win on any point....Bush won in Iraq...what little you hear about that, Harry Reid tried to take credit for; President Bush tried to get the congress to listen to and approve his Health Care retirement plans, the same one that ALL federal employees can choose from...but Nancy and Harry destroyed his remarks with mendacious lies and now Obama is pushing the same idea...sorta of*~...Obama says one thing and does another...read his speeches...he is a Bait and Switch artist; confusion is part of his agenda as was taught by Saul Alinsky.

Sarah Palin tells the truth...George Soros and all his money, the Unions, the ACLU, ACORN (link) and other rogue organizations are again joining forces with the Socialist Left to destroy the woman.....take action and fight back!

"Pay attention to what Obama does NOT what he says"

And also, when he's waving his right hand for all to see, watch what his left hand is doing insidiously behind our backs.

He's an accomplished con man and the American public are easy marks.

As to "respected", perhaps by those who depend on him for their paycheck but beyond that, naaaw.

With each passing day that I see him and his gargantuan gardener, I begin to feel shame that he is our president.
