Obama Official: Netanyahu Waiting for ‘President Palin’

INN ^ | 6-8-10 | Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

The Netanyahu government’s attitude to the United States shows it is “waiting for President [Sarah] Palin, an Obama official reportedly told Peter Beinart, writing for the Atlantic Monthly news site. Palin was the Republican candidate for vice president two years ago and is considered a front-running candidate for the next presidential election in 2012.

“As an Obama official once told me about the Netanyahu team, with amazement, ‘these guys are actually waiting for President Palin,’” wrote Beinart, a senior political writer for The Daily Beast and associate professor of journalism and political science at City University of New York.

In a critical article noting that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and senior government officials preach to the chorus of right-wing and Christian fundamentalist groups in the United States,

“Again, tell me who other than Sarah has a realistic chance against ZERO.”

And for the 10,000th time I would ask, “Who’s running?”

let's dig up Richard Nixon and elect him again

[dforest]

Give me your source. I call that you are full of it. In fact, you have a really big problem.

[Bob J]

If you mean I am not one of the evangelical, end times, armegeddon wishing, who is going to protect Israel (at the security expense of the US) to insure the second coming of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, you would be correct.

One Scoobey bisquit to you.

We reasonably know who it will be. Newt, Huck, Romney, Pawlenty, Paul.

Personally, I want to see Petraus w Thune as VP. I think that is a great ticket.

However, if its Sarah, I’m on board 100%.

Just spare me the pawlenty, Romney, Huck, Newt bs.

[mkjessup]

Let me ask this question for a 5th time, if not Sarah who?
Mitt?
Huck?
Newt?
Rudy?
Tancredo?
Hunter?
Paul?

Your 'question' is a trick question, because you already have quick retorts as to why any of the above names you're mentioning are undesirable and/or unelectable. Other candidates are not the issue. The issue is Sarah Palin's conservative credentials which have become highly suspect due to her inconsistency as a conservative. By her own admission, she "shares John McCain's vision for America", and anyone who doesn't understand what that means doesn't have enough neurons to tie their shoes.

John McCain is NO conservative, there is no question, no argument about that.

Sarah Palin has stated clearly that she shares the "vision" of McCain for America, and as painful as it must be for the Palin-lovers out there, that equates only to one conclusion:

Sarah Palin's vision for America (which is the same as McCain's) is NOT a conservative vision.

I guess I figured at a young age that in this world you either eat or get eaten.

I would rather do the eating.

Well, be careful, or you might end up eating crow--and lots of it--before too long.

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

No.

I just had a lot of loss in some areas of my life at times. and I learned that I hated losing more than anything. I hated it. I hated getting bad grades. I hated getting pushed around. And I learned how to fight guys who were bigger than me. and when I became vicious and angry, I was not longer a crier and I was no longer afraid.

I am going into politics someday.

[mkjessup]

That’s one of the few things you and I agree on: I don’t trust McCain as far as I could kick him. No doubt in my mind he’d endorse Romney over Sarah. And I don’t trust him to not run as an Independent when he loses to JD. Of course, thank goodness certain laws in AZ prevent him from doing that, according to some freepers.

Even if McCain is unable to run as an independent, you can be sure that he would endorse and align himself with whoever the 'Rat candidate is, because he would rather see the 'Rats take his seat in the Senate, rather than to see a REAL conservative (especially Hayworth), succeed him.

[GlockThe Vote]

And that’s fine, but please show me this hallowed untainted figure who is going to ride to the rescue in 2012 with a chance against ZERO.

Like I said, I am for Petraus/Thune and think that is our best chance. However, Petraus so far has said he is not jumping in.

However, after that I see Sarah as the only viable alternative left, despite her flaws.

[dforest]

Please do not go into politics. Go home and grow up first.

[rintense]

As I’ve said before, at least with a liberal you can see the knife coming at you. With a RINO, its the knife in the back you miss.

[GOPJ]

That's what they said about Reagan ;o)

I remember that - the knock on Reagan was that even though everyone liked him, he wasn't electable... ( we showed them )

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

Thanks for kind words.

I am grown up. I am married with twin daughters.

and I still hate losing.

[Lakeshark]

It's fairly obvious Romney is running.

Sarah is setting up as if she is.

[rabscuttle385]

By her own admission, she "shares John McCain's vision for America", and anyone who doesn't understand what that means doesn't have enough neurons to tie their shoes.

We all know what McRat's vision for America is, and it certainly isn't libertarian-conservative or anything close!

She is out front and center of every issue fighting!

Carbon caps, path to citizenship, Juan McCain...

[rabscuttle385]

Like I said, I am for Petraus/Thune and think that is our best chance.

Too bad Thune is a RINO.

And when you do, you do realize your words about not being ashamed of cheating, i.e. "anything to get people out" are going to come back to haunt you?

Here is a clue: people may in general have dumbed down over the last 3 or 4 decades, people may not be as well informed as they ought to be, but people still want those who seek elective office to be square shooters, to play fair, to abide by the rules, and I submit that they will not knowingly elect someone who not only is a cheater, but is absolutely unashamed of it.

I pray that you never achieve the position of a police officer, or a prosecutor or God forbid, a judge, individuals who are called upon to uphold the law, ALL of the law, and to do so without cheating.

[Bob J]

Well you would reasonably be wrong. What use are predictions three years out from a presidential vote except to indulge in self indulgent monkey spanking by sycophantic groupies?
