ORLANDO, Fla. -- Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin joked Friday about the notes she had written on her hand at a recent speech, yet still angrily criticized the White House and the media for making an issue out of it.
In a speech at an Orange County Republican fundraiser, she repeatedly referred to getting caught with the notes written on her palm at a speech last month. She went one-by-one through each of the thoughts she said she jotted down: energy, tax cuts and lifting the American spirit.
In an obvious shot at President Barack Obama, she said she was "Busted for using a poor man's TelePrompTer. I was just kicking it old school. It's the way we used to do it."

I mean that most everyone on here likes Palin. They just see her in a political perspective. Can’t do that with Palin worshippers, A person cannot discuss the pros and cons of a Palin candidacy.
Do any of you wonder why a thread like this gets no interest? You should. It isn’t Palin, it is the FR worshippers, Nobody wants to argue with a person who is so much a worshipper that they cannot honestly debate.
Palin is not a candidate yet, but none of you will talk about that, we are supposed to sign on and ignore the warts.
Not going to happen.
FR is like herding cats. What you all are doing is keeping Sarah out of the limelight instead of putting her into it.
Nobody around here is ready to annoint anyone yet for 2012.
She’s got a-you and me brother in her hands
She’s got a-you and me brother in her hands
She’s got a-you and me brother in her hands
She’s got the whole world in the palm of her hands
She doesn’t have to be a “candidate” to speak truth, to encourage the discouraged, to energize us, get a grip. NO ONE has stood up to any of these fascists like she has, she doesn’t have to be PRESIDENT to do so, nor a CANDIDATE to speak, especially when she is appreciated for her efforts and for walking the walk and most of all, for being “one of us”, yeah, I’ll take that.
No one has received more hate-filled invectives than she and her family and yet enters the fight like we all should be doing. She is showing the way, it’s called leadership.
Yet, anytime when we do engage in rational discussion of Sarah' negatives, it's misconstrued as us vehemently defending Sarah, when that's not the case.
I'm pretty sure God doesn't need crib notes to remember His core values.
Okay, then explain why this got only 24 posts. Nobody wants to be called troll if they don’t bow down, so they stay away, which is no help to Palin.
YOU have declared that the cons have been dissected. Okay, but we have a whole year until anyone will declare themselves a candidate.
So, what is there to talk about? We will wait and see.
This is one of the most idiotic statements I've seen lately, not that I haven't read quite a few idiotic statements. How could anyone hurt Sarah by expressing their appreciation with a term of endearment? No male politician's success or failure has hinged on the words “he is my man,” so why should it be different when it comes to “she is my girl" in reference to Sarah Palin? What chances are you referring to, anyway? We don't know what her plans are, do you?
And while we are talking about terms people use, the right term in this context is 'hits,' not 'looks.' That is, it is over 1200 hits to the thread you are referring to. What this tells you is that people read these threads but many don't post there partly because of the hateful self anointed thread cops, policing these threads and hurling insults at Sarah or her supporters. A thread with over 1200 hits shows that people are interested in Sarah, but don't feel like getting into fights with posters like you.
And just for the record, Sarah is my girl, too! And if you don't like it, too freaking bad!
Sickening? What is sickening are the Sarah haters obsessed with Sarah, who spend a lot of time posting in as many Sarah threads as they can with the aim of trashing her and her supporters, and calling them fanatics while they themselves can't stop posting on those threads. Talk about fanatics!
No one is anointing Sarah, we are simply supporting her as a political figure that has a positive conservative influence and advances the conservative cause. Her criticism of Obama is a good thing, and every comment Sarah makes gets a strong reaction from the media – if she were insignificant, the media wouldn't be talking about her as much as they do. So if the media attacks her, it is because she is an influential conservative, and being an influential conservative is a good thing.
blah blah blah. You have come a long way since Rudy haven’t you.
I like Sarah and have made many very positive posts about her.
You know, like the ones you made about Rudy. And you know it.
Glad to see you support a conservative this time. Go Sarah!
Hey Clyde she not “your girl”
She’s MY girl
I’ve been a FR member in good standing long before supporting Rudy, you moron. You obviously had you canned answer ready and are incapable of replying to my post. It figures.
Big deal
LOL! Then don’t ask stupid questions if you don’t want answers, idiot!
In the Museum of Really Lame Sarah Palin Slurs, your #25 will be in the display case near the elevator.
I see you still call people names. That hasn’t changed. Did I call you a name? Nope. See, you need not answer.
Have a nice evening
The need to call names shows diminished intellect.
No Sarah is OUR girl.
If that’s sounds sexist I’m sorry.
No name calling. I’m just calling it like it is.
Smart people would find a more clever way.
