SARAH Palin, who has been hammered by critics for making the occasional verbal gaffe, used her Thanksgiving message today to point out a number of bungles made by US President Barack Obama. The former Republican vice-presidential nominee, tipped as a potential 2012 presidential candidate, posted the message titled, "A Thanksgiving Message to All 57 States", on her Facebook account.
In May 2008, while campaigning to be president, Mr Obama wrongly told an audience in Oregon that he "had been in 57 states, [with] I think one left to go."
Ms Palin opened her message today by listing what she termed "misstatements and verbal gaffes made by Barack Obama", along with accompanying YouTube clips.

I like it.
She "attacks" what "she terms" are Obama's gaffes!
A)She's attacking the medioso types who OVERLOOK Obama's gaffes
B) If the gaffes she listed are merely what "she terms" to be gaffes can only mean to the rest of the Corrupt Bass Turds in the media aren't gaffes at all but statements of fact.C) In your face! Ha!
Love her humor.
No, she used a number of Obama gaffes to point out the media’s bias.
And, like the idiots they are, they missed it completely.
Morons.
Regardless of whether she is presidential material, you’ve got to admit that she has the political instinct and reflexes of a mongoose.
I agree - it was against the media.
GO SARAH!
I love all the oh so smart lefties who read the first paragraph assuming those were her mistakes, calling her a moron, and not realizing they were Dumb0’s mistakes.
a) “The person who made those mistakes is obviously a moron.”
b) “The person who made those mistakes is Barack Obama.”
Ergo, Barack Obama is... nope. Crimestop. Cannot complete syllogism!
Once again, the Saracuda telling it like it is.
“what she termed Obama’s gaffes” (paraphrasing)”.
Yeah I wonder how she edited those linked videos to make zero look bad? /s
Sarah, we love ye’!
Any opportunity to attack America’s greatest enemy is a good opportunity. Good on Sarah for looking out after our best interests. She is a soldier on the front lines.
A Thanksgiving Message to All 57 States
.by Sarah Palin on Thursday, November 25, 2010 at 5:46pm.My fellow Americans in all 57 states, the time has changed for come. With our country founded more than 20 centuries ago, we have much to celebrate – from the FBI’s 100 days to the reforms that bring greater inefficiencies to our health care system. We know that countries like Europe are willing to stand with us in our fight to halt the rise of privacy, and Israel is a strong friend of Israel’s. And let’s face it, everybody knows that it makes no sense that you send a kid to the emergency room for a treatable illness like asthma and they end up taking up a hospital bed. It costs, when, if you, they just gave, you gave them treatment early, and they got some treatment, and ah, a breathalyzer, or an inhalator. I mean, not a breathalyzer, ah, I don’t know what the term is in Austrian for that…
Of course, the paragraph above is based on a series of misstatements and verbal gaffes made by Barack Obama (I didn’t have enough time to do one for Joe Biden). YouTube links are provided just in case you doubt the accuracy of these all too human slips-of-the-tongue. If you can’t remember hearing about them, that’s because for the most part the media didn’t consider them newsworthy. I have no complaint about that. Everybody makes the occasional verbal gaffe – even news anchors.
Obviously, I would have been even more impressed if the media showed some consistency on this issue. Unfortunately, it seems they couldn’t resist the temptation to turn a simple one word slip-of-the-tongue of mine into a major political headline. The one word slip occurred yesterday during one of my seven back-to-back interviews wherein I was privileged to speak to the American public about the important, world-changing issues before us.
If the media had bothered to actually listen to all of my remarks on Glenn Beck’s radio show, they would have noticed that I refer to South Korea as our ally throughout, that I corrected myself seconds after my slip-of-the-tongue, and that I made it abundantly clear that pressure should be put on China to restrict energy exports to the North Korean regime. The media could even have done due diligence and checked my previous statements on the subject, which have always been consistent, and in fact even ahead of the curve. But why let the facts get in the way of a good story? (And for that matter, why not just make up stories out of thin air – like the totally false hard news story which has run for three days now reporting that I lobbied the producers of “Dancing with the Stars” to cast a former Senate candidate on their show. That lie is further clear proof that the media completely makes things up without doing even rudimentary fact-checking.)
“Hope springs eternal” as the poet says. Let’s hope that perhaps, just maybe, they might get it right next time. When we the people are effective in holding America’s free press accountable for responsible and truthful reporting, then we shall all have even more to be thankful for!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

My take -
Initial attack on Sarah Palin was started by blogger influenced by David Plouffe of WH.
I think, they never expected Sarah will come swinging back on David Plouffe’s master.
“Dance like a butterfly, stings like a bee!”
They never learn, do they?
As someöne said once.
I don’t think the media attacks anyone more. They always try to paint her being ignorant.
I think her coping strategy is attacking them back. She points out their hypocrisy.
By drawing attention to Obama's gaffes and the lack of media attention they received, she skewers both Obama and the media.
Her Facebook page is full of Obama Zombie's who are so busy attacking her for saying there are 57 states that they didn't bother to read what she actually wrote.
Good expression -— she truly is a soldier. She takes her hits and keeps on coming.
