JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) -- Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said President Barack Obama's acknowledgment that he hasn't directly spoken to BP's chief executive shows it "bodes well to have some sort of executive experience before occupying the Oval Office."

Then, in a Facebook posting Tuesday, she outlined her experience.

President Obama admitted that he hasn’t met with or spoken directly to BP’s CEO Tony Hayward. His reasoning: “Because my experience is, when you talk to a guy like a BP CEO, he’s gonna say all the right things to me. I’m not interested in words. I’m interested in actions.”

But of course he deals with dictators in exactly the opposite way: Bowing, glad-handing, and basically tongue-bathing. Why can't he demand the same "actions" from rogue states that he wants from corporations?

Obama is still trying to figure out how to vote present on this crisis!

Palin would have acted quickly to contain and cleanup the spill.

Obama’s response was 50 days of partying, golfing, and vacationing. Kick ass and party on dudes.

Palin shouldn’t let herself be tied to this sinking political ship.

I posted that very idea here a couple weeks ago. But I suspect his ego is too massive for him to risk her having a “success” at cleaning up his mess.

I sure wish DoughtyOne’d spend more time opposing Obama and less time whining about Sarah Palin on FR.

“Because my experience is, when you talk to a guy like a BP CEO, he’s gonna say all the right things to me. I’m not interested in words. I’m interested in actions.”

He sounds like a stupid junior high school punk....really really disgusting. And "my experience"...what a sick joke. He wouldn't make it 10 minutes as a real CEO. Reminds me of Blagojevich on the Apprentice - all he could do was talk - not good at anything else.

Any president that hasn’t after 50 days of this spoken directly to the president of BP, each Gulf state governor, and many more doesn’t know much about serving as president.

“I sure wish she’d spend more time thinking and less time on FaceBook.”

Are you kidding? This is a beautifully-reasoned, excellently written treatise, and it KICKS O’S BUTT! Keep it up, Sarah!

I’ll be listening a lot more intently when she quits supporting Obama-lite against J.D. Hayworth for six more years in the U.S. Senate.

I find it shocking that Hayward has not called the White House either. What an idiot. Two bozos running the show.

That’s okay Josh.

I’ll quite dumping on Republicans when they quite doing the things McCain has, and stop supporting those who do them.

Funny how Palin makes repeated reference to the concept of ethics/morals, showing it to be a critical component in dealing with big oil.

Seems like I’ve heard that before, somewhere. Palin is a true moral leader.

Unlike Obama, who doesn’t know how to choose right from wrong any more than his internet trolls can understand in rational terms why they actually support him.
