RUSH: Here's Palin. Now, I'm playing these sound bites here because Obama's delivering himself to us on a silver platter.
Folks, I'm serious. "Obama Says We Cannot Spend More Than We Take In" bill. Pass it. We simply reduce spending to current expenditures, current revenues, that's it, and credit him for the inspiration, make them defend it. That's what I don't understand is our inability. I don't know why we can't take it to 'em. I'm exempting Paul Ryan from this 'cause he's done it, but why can't we take what this guy says and run it right back at him? (imitating Obama) "We can't spend more than we take in." Fine. Pass a bill that says so, credit him. Pass it.
Send the defunding of Obamacare every month, make him defend it, make the Democrats veto it, vote against it, every month. Make them own the issue. Here's Palin defending Governor Scott Walker in Wisconsin.
PALIN: A pension is a promise that must be kept. Now, your Governor Scott Walker understands this. He understands that states must be solvent in order to keep their promises. And that's what he's trying to do. He's not trying to hurt union members. Hey, folks, he's trying to save your jobs and your pensions.
RUSH: She was being heckled. She talks through the hecklers. She's talking about the Tea Party next.
PALIN: Unfortunately some of your union bosses don't understand this, and they don't care if union members have to be laid off. No, they want to protect their own power, and if that means forcing a governor to lay off union workers, then so be it, they've proven that, it's fine with them. But that's not real solidarity. Real solidarity means coming together for the common good. This Tea Party is real solidarity.
RUSH: She owned the crowd. It was a huge crowd. It's not a good weather day, either. Now on to Obama.
PALIN: President Obama, you do not have our consent. You didn't have it in November, and you certainly don't have it now. You willfully ignored the will of the American people. You ignored it when you rammed through Obamacare. You ignored it when you drove up the debt to $14 and a half trillion. You ignored it when you went to bat for government funded abortions and yet you threw our brave men and women in uniform under the bus, Mr. Commander-in-chief. You ignore it when you apologize for America while you bow and kowtow to our enemies, and you snub our allies like Israel.
RUSH: She's taking it to him. What is so hard about this? "Yeah, Rush, well, you hear what they say about her?" Yeah, and she just keeps talking, doesn't she? "Yeah, but Rush, but Rush, but they destroyed her." Doesn't bother her. She keeps talking. I mean I would submit they haven't destroyed her. She's still talking, still drawing a crowd. Still gets airtime. They haven't destroyed her. She kept going, 2012 election begins in Wisconsin, she says.
PALIN: Mr. President, you and your cohorts threw all the hatred and all the violence that you could at these good folks here in Madison, Wisconsin, but you lost here. And Madison, you defended that 2010 electoral mandate. Your historic stand brought down the curtain on the last election, and the 2012 election begins here. We will take the courage and the integrity that you showed all of America, we will take it and we will win back our country.
RUSH: And in the big finale, as I told you yesterday, she suggests the Republican Party, if you're not gonna fight like men, you better start fighting like girls.
PALIN: We didn't elect you just to rearrange the deck chairs on a sinking Titanic. We didn't elect you just to stand back and watch Obama redistribute those deck chairs. What we need is for you to stand up, GOP, and fight. Maybe I should ask some of the Badger women's hockey team, those champions, maybe I should ask them if we should be suggesting to GOP leaders they need to learn how to fight like a girl.
RUSH: I'm all for that, based on what I know about it, I'm all for it. Damn right.

Sarah Palin for the Fed?
The big question as Chairman Bernanke gets set for his first quarterly press conference is how Sarah Palin was able to figure out sooner than everyone else that the Federal Reserve’s campaign of quantitative easing wouldn’t work. Disappointment in the Fed’s policies is being reported this morning at the top of page one of the New York Times. It reports that “most Americans are not feeling the difference” from the Fed’s “experimental effort to spur a recovery by purchasing vast quantities of federal debt.” It reports that “a broad range of economists say that the disappointing results show the limits of the central bank’s ability to lift the nation from its economic malaise.”
It’s a terrific story, and well-timed, given that on Wednesday Mr. Bernanke will break tradition and meet with the press. It is part of the Fed’s effort to get ahead of what is emerging as a public relations catastrophe, as gasoline is nearing six dollars a gallon at some pumps, the cost of groceries is skyrocketing, and the value of the dollars that Mr. Bernanke’s institution issues as Federal Reserve notes has collapsed to less than a 1,500th of an ounce of gold. Unemployment is still high. Shakespeare couldn’t come up with a better plot. But how in the world did Mrs. Palin, who is supposed to be so thick, manage to figure all this out so far ahead of the New York Times and all the economists it talked to?
She did this back in November in a speech at Phoenix, which the Wall Street Journal, in a laudatory editorial at the time, characterized as zeroing in on the connection between a weak dollar and rising prices for oil and food. “We don’t want temporary, artificial economic growth brought at the expense of permanently higher inflation which will erode the value of our incomes and our savings,” the Journal quoted Mrs. Palin as saying. “We want a stable dollar combined with real economic reform. It’s the only way we can get our economy back on the right track.” Now here is the New York Times quoting a raft of economists who have reached the conclusion that Mrs. Palin’s warning was right down the line.
Hillary had the same problem but learned to yell in a lower tone.
I actually enjoy her and find her to be a voice of truth. But I also find her followers that cant stand anything said bad about her to be more annoying than her voice. You guys are bordering on childish at times.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with disagreeing with some things a candidate might say. In fact I dont trust you if you think everything about her is perfect. Many people were that way about W and he did all kinds of things non conservative. Alot of women have a irritating or annoying voices, and couple hers with the Alaska Schtick and it will be compounded by election time. She can be down to earth and presidential if she just polishes it up some. Im just saying my opinion.
Tell me. Why does Sarah need tougher skin for defending herself but Trump ‘ is the man! ‘ for doing the same, esp. among Hollywood types?
Im pointing out she has a screechy voice on the stump....and she does....big deal, she can polish up and has already in my opinion somewhat, but still needs practice.
I guarantee Im not alone in that opinion, especially among men, and those of you who dont think it matters have your head in the sand. Most people that vote arent knowledgeable about the politics and vote for who they "like". Fact of life.
You slobbering entourage types? You should be nicer to the Trump for President folks.
Well said. Like it or not, how a person communicates is important to how others perceive him/her. One of Gov. Palin’s weaknesses is her communications skills.
