Excellent piece - great smackdown of teh one. She teed it up on Greta and followed up with this. She’s going to make the primaries such a joy to watch.
The problem is, we're NOT paying for it. We're borrowing for it. Spending future generations into slavery to a debt they can never pay off. Basically writing checks our collective butts can't cash.
Could he get anymore irresponsible, incompetent and corrupt? The democrats should start to see the handwriting on the wall and do something about this out of control little kid in the WH, if just to try and save their own skins.

We are buried under Mt. McKinley-sized debt.
This seems to be the Obama administration’s version of American exceptionalism – an “exceptionally big government,” in which a centralized government declares that we shall be great and innovative and competitive, not by individual initiative, but by government decree.
9+% unemployment (or 17% percent if you include those who have stopped looking for work or settled for part time jobs) (Not a zinger - its just nice to hear a politician explain U6 unemployment so succinctly)
When the President talks about simplifying the tax code, he’s made it clear that he’s not looking to cut your taxes; he’s looking for additional tax revenue from you.
These “investments,” as the President calls them, include everything from solar shingles to high speed trains.
As we struggle to service our unsustainable debt, the only thing these “investments” will get us is a bullet train to bankruptcy.
This was a tour de force from Palin. The complicit Media will attempt not to acknowledge this piece in any way.
LOL. She’s on fire, yet she is calm and to the point.
Rock ‘em and sock ‘em Governor Sarah Palin!
Anyone who thinks she’s not ready, is in for a huge surprise!
I can barely wait!
Woo-Hoo!
GO SARAH! We have her back and then some!
Go get’em Sarah...
I am soooo looking forward to next year....
“Could he get anymore irresponsible, incompetent and corrupt?”
America stupidity grows in direct proportion to Obozo’s
destructive incompetence.
How else can you explain his growing poll numbers?
America is one VERY SICK puppy, and will be lucky to even make to the next election.
What other politican is being this honest with the American people.
A very important column here that has been overlooked. I intend to give it attention later today.
Here's a short portion:
What distinguishes Palin from other conservative leaders in the U.S. and makes her an important figure worldwide is her indifference to the views of the Left's opinion makers. Her capacity to steer debate in a way no other conservative politician can owes entirely to the fact that she does not seek to win over leftist elites. She seeks to unseat them.The Left's campaign against Palin is not just about Palin. If she is discredited for standing up to blood libels then no one in the U.S. or anywhere else can expect to succeed in moving past the failed and dangerous leftist policy agenda. But if she is defended, a world of possibilities opens up for all of us.
You could see she was raring to go......almost busting out....she is ready to run and I look forward to it....
That being said, (I am voting for her, of course)you could tell she was very focused on the SOTU because some of her answers went right to that instead of the actual questions.....I’ll give her a pass because she was so pumped up on the SOTU response....
Watch the kneepad-clad morning media pile on and say she made a ‘vulgar’ inference. Idiots.
But that’s exactly what I found myself sayin during that SOTU. From the date-night theme to an incoherent message from TOTUS, there are PLENTY of WTF moments ahead of us.
WTF....the only thing 0bambi's “investments” will get us is a bullet train to bankruptcy.
3, 2, 1 until someone writes a column about her using an derivation of a swear word. I can just see it now, ‘how unpresidential to use a term that’s associated with adolescents.’ SIGH...
incoming tag line....
dims and islamics unite to cut off Adam Smiths invisible hand....
Issa is a self-made man. He was in the military doing bomb disposal, must be pretty fearless.....
WTF....the only thing 0bambi's “investments” will get us is a bullet train to bankruptcy.
....adjustment......stand by.....
Fox ‘n Friends lead story is Sarah Palin takes issue with obama’s speech...LOL. I willl have to rewinde to hear the exact report. Good night!
The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies.
Over the past 5 years, our federal debt has increased by $3.5 trillion to $8.6 trillion.That is “trillion” with a “T.” That is money that we have borrowed from the Social Security trust fund, borrowed from China and Japan, borrowed from American taxpayers. And over the next 5 years, between now and 2011, the President’s budget will increase the debt by almost another $3.5 trillion.
Numbers that large are sometimes hard to understand. Some people may wonder why they matter. Here is why: This year, the Federal Government will spend $220 billion on interest. That is more money to pay interest on our national debt than we’ll spend on Medicaid and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program. That is more money to pay interest on our debt this year than we will spend on education, homeland security, transportation, and veterans benefits combined. It is more money in one year than we are likely to spend to rebuild the devastated gulf coast in a way that honors the best of America.
And the cost of our debt is one of the fastest growing expenses in the Federal budget. This rising debt is a hidden domestic enemy, robbing our cities and States of critical investments in infrastructure like bridges, ports, and levees; robbing our families and our children of critical investments in education and health care reform; robbing our seniors of the retirement and health security they have counted on.
Every dollar we pay in interest is a dollar that is not going to investment in America’s priorities.
