PALIN: It is "Noble" of OBAMA to "go down with this sinking ship"
CBSNews ^ | June 5, 2011 | Stephanie Condon

Potential Republican presidential contender Sarah Palin said today that it's "noble" of President Obama to continue leading a sputtering economy, but Americans want to take a different path.

Last week, the Labor Department announced that the unemployment rate hit 9.1 percent in May, and just 54,000 jobs were created last month -- far fewer than expected. In response, Mr. Obama said the economy "is taking a while to mend" and faces "bumps on the road to recovery."

On "Fox News Sunday," Palin took issue with that analogy. "The people will tell you it's not a bump in the road," she said. "We've hit a brick wall."

"It's very noble of President Obama to want to stay at the helm and maybe go down with this sinking ship," she continued. "But I prefer, many Americans prefer, that we start plugging the hole, that we start powering the build pump and start getting rid of this unsustainable debt that is sinking our ship. We don't have to go the way of the Titanic, and there are things that have to be put in place right now before this ship does sink."

Last week, former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean warned that Palin could beat Mr. Obama in the 2012 elections if the economy doesn't improve.

"I think she could win," Dean told The Hill Friday. "Any time you have a contest -- particularly when unemployment is as high as it is -- nobody gets a walkover."

Obama is king of the burger flipping jobs, and that is where the Democratic Party wants to take us.

If the economy doesn't improve, I think Bozo the Clown could win...provided organizations like Acorn don't run the election.

THAT is my only fear come the 2012 election. The Dems are desperate. The Dem leadership knows that their time is short lived. Fraud and deception will be an obvious options for this election for the Dems. They will pull out all stops.

I doubt the transcript is wrong....most candidates get a transcrip written that corrects speaking errors, but Palin will not get this curtesy because the "template" is that Palin is STUPID....and this just fits the template....so she will have to deal with it....and so will you.

remember, Bush was stupid....and Reagan was stupid

Obama is Briliant...evn though we will never see his college transcripts or SAT/ACT scores

I’m sure she meant “bilge pump” and the reporter transcribed it wrong.

What do they all have in common? Sexual perverts....if you have no sexual morality....you can not be moral in anything. There is no standard of right and wrong....no “God” in their world.

The only standard which creates a civil society that can run smoothly—economically, and otherwise (stupid Libertarians)—is one where there is Universal Truth—a standard of moral absolutes.

Marxists are trying to destroy “right and wrong” to create chaos. John Dewey forced moral relativism (no right and wrong) into our school system which used to be based on the moral absolutes—Christian/Judeo ideas of right and wrong (McGuffey Readers).

No standard, it becomes like a basketball game where everyone plays by their own rules. It breaks out in fights and complete chaos. (Ah, revolution!)

The Cultural Marxists designed the system to destroy morality in Western Civ. countries. It is to destroy all standards of right and wrong by conditioning young children into perverse thinking....non logical thinking so they can be told anything and will believe it. Just a bunch of useful idiots to be led by the few elites. Moral Relativism is the road to Serfdom.

Watch the movie Idiocracy. Instead of Brondo(it has electrolytes) it will be McDonalds.

After all the corn goes away, McDonalds will be the only thing left to eat, except the burgers will be made from soy.
