Barack Obama gave the most important speech of his presidency tonight and it was a partisan speech which -- as Ed Shultz put it on MSNBC -- said to Republicans, "we're going to roll over you." We will see if this political calculation works, or whether the Democrats driven by their ideological passions have over-reached and made another political miscalcuation which will bring their numbers even further to the ground.
But perhaps the most remarkable moment of the speech -- and certainly the most politically bone-headed -- was to single out Sarah Palin and call her a liar because she has dramatized the indisputable fact that when you have governmen-controlled health care you have rationing, and when you have rationing you inevitably create a government bureaucracy which will encourage and then force elderly and infirm people to premature deaths. Palin's image of "death panels" to capture what is the undeniable truth about the

But I thought Sarah Palin was a dim-witted nobody? Why does the president of the United States need to address her criticisms?
When is he going to apologize to Sarah Palin...
I haven’t seen liberals go afte any politician like this since Reagan.
It tells me that, like President Reagan, the liberals are scared to death of Sarah.
Sarah’s thank you note to the POTUS is probably in the mail as we type. ; )
It is the combination of the two types that is giving her so much attention.
Could care less. By the time Obama is done after 4 years, the nation will embrace her (or any other real conservative) with open arms.
Taht was what they said about Reagan too. If liberals really believed that, they'd be doign everything they could do make sure she gets nominated. Instead, tehy simultaneously declare her irrelevant and attack her at every turn. Just what was done to Ronaldus Magnus.

Unfortunately, there may not be much left in 4 years. I guarantee you, HO has a 4 year plan and if he can’t get the vote for illegals, he is done and he knows it. HO is moving quickly to tank the US economy and destroy all resistance.
“..but some believe that she is a fundamentally flawed candidate that has no hope of winning.”
Who?
Wish she would have a Rally in Iowa. Let the games begin NOW!
Obama is afraid of Sarah Palin!....Hit them Sarah!....keep hitting them hard!
I just changed my tagline...
I’m there when she does!!!!
That is the same crappy treatment that Reagan had to put up with - “mentally a lightweight”, “governors have no foreign relations experience”, “actors/hockey moms don’t have gravitas”, etc. - and then when they take the reins of government and perform brilliantly it is always because they’re being manipulated from someone behind the scenes.
Go Sarah Palin!
some believe that she is a fundamentally flawed candidate that has no hope of winning.
Yeah, the MSM can keep saying that, but with the Dems and Obama demonizing the entire populace of the USA, a lot of people are going to get tired of it. It took 8 months for a lot of Americans to figure out Obama. Wait till they find out what is going on behind the scenes....Van Jones is just the tip of the iceberg.....This Ain’t Chicago!!!
I think Cal Thomas had it right: when it’s your arrogance that irritates people, giving an overtly arrogant speech isn’t the right approach....
