PALIN: It is "Noble" of OBAMA to "go down with this sinking ship"

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."

Who is most likely to be a space-lizard in a mansuit?

My bet is on 2, with 3 a close runner-up.

[Revolting cat!]

Actually it was Ronald who added over half of last month's jobs.
Hey, get with the program!

[PghBaldy]

I guess she gave him a (backhanded) compliment. It made me laugh.

[driftdiver]

Half of the jobs ‘created’ last month were at McDonalds.

This is why I’m so high on the woman. It’s “noble” of the Punk “to go down with the sinking ship”. It doesn’t get better than that. No one is writing these lines for her, I guarantee. They keep coming, and no one else can deliver them. Bob

[AFreeBird]

Probably doesn’t even know what a bilge is.

[mcshot]

“Build” makes sense although one would naturally read bilge.

[Taxman]

“bilge” pump.

Thanks rface.

That so many otherwise intelligent people still haven't accepted this is a sad, sad, thing.

Oh well.

[Lexinom]

The interview video is viewable on the web. She did indeed say "bilge pump." She was on her game, more professional, more composed than I think I've ever seen her.

[Lexinom]

Kraut and the know-it-all establishment types, elevated well above the common rabble...

[Personal Responsibility]

Well said considering half of the meager number of of the jobs added last month were strictly due to McDonalds!

[DB]

The reporter probably has never heard the word “bilge” before and assumed it was “build”.

Palin ran a fishing boat. There’s no chance she called it “build pump”.

Even those burger flipping jobs won’t last in this economy if people can’t afford to buy the burgers.

Hmmmm? I disagree as to what would be 'noble' of Barry.

• 'Noble' is what Japanese Officers did when they knew they were about to lose a battle.
  
• 'Noble' is what Ernest Hemingway did at the end₍₁₎
  
• 'Noble' is what Jimmy Hoffa said to the snot nosed Bobby during RFK's congressional witch-hunt of the Teamsters for non existent communists.
  
• 'Noble' is what the 101st did during the siege of Bastogne.
• 'Noble' is standing up like man and admitting you were wrong. Not blaming Bush and the mailman for all the problems.

In short, Barry wouldn't know 'noble' if it bit him in the butt.

(1) I *think* his guilt was overwhelming for his support of the Communists in Spain and couldn't cope with it. I hope so anyway as he was wrong as a $3 bill. Like it or not, but Franco was the good guy in that 'civil' war.

[TheOldLady]

Of course. In context, it can be nothing else.

The left does this to her all the time, trying to make her look “stupid.”

Everyone knows that they’ve completely abdicated their fourth estate duties and obligations to the country.

They’re on board with zer0 and his destruction of our nation; there can be no question of that.

i believe sara is never wrong... the bilge pump is found on a sinking ship, but a build pump is what this economy needs... build a better house
build a better car
build a better relationship between a man and woman
build a grassroots movement that will topple a regime.
