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.

George Bush allowed the media to define him. I am sure he thought he was “taking the high road” by not defending himself or his administration. Sarah Palin has no intention of being raped by the leftist media!
Sarah Palin was pointing out Barack Obama’s countless number of gaffes with actual evidence of the gaffes provided in video links! The purpose?? Because the leftist media was trying to say that Sarah Palin thinks Kim Jung Il is an ally of the US when she misspoke but later corrected herself in an interview.
So the leftist media whores accomplish their goals of trying to destroy Sarah by taking something she said out of context of a whole interview. That seems to be their mode of operation when it comes to conservatives.
It was rather amusing to look at the Facebook post of Sarah and see how the leftists responded to her. They still don’t get it!
The media is corrupt, irresponsible and deceitful.
The MSM are disgusting. They lie, they lie, they lie. They are poison in our country.
Hey. Don't hold back, man. Tell us how you really feel.
Anytime the MSM, and by proxy, the Obama administration, are responding to the Facebook page of a housewife typing from her kitchen table, we know who is in trouble.
Wish she had mentioned the 10,000 people that he claimed died from govt incompetence during Katrina.
Exactly, LOL! She doesn’t even hold office anywhere, she is a private citizen, yet everything she says and does recieves more scrutiny by the press than just about anybody in the world. Sarah Palin pwns the media, and is twirling them around above her head like a wrestler ready to throw the bum out of the ring. The MSM is truly pathetic.
Classic!
No, she was attacking THE PRESS for making nothing of those gaffes, while going after her ass over teakettle about her tong-slip when she said North instead of South in referring to a Koran ally.
The press just doesn’t get it.
Oooops. tong-slip = tongue-slip
Not enough coffee yet.
Waa... Waahhhh! Make her stop. Make her not know about YouTube. Make my hero Hussein not have said those stupidities. Make her too stupid to do hyperlinks.
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!
- Sarah Palin
She does!
I like the fact that Gov. Palin pisses off all the right people.
What most people didn't realize was that the well publicized act was the first nationwide example of Obamacare at work.
The government (Obama) decided who shall live and who shall die.
We are nothing more than turkeys to our oppressors!!!
Sarah “attacks” their messiah, and the whores take their noses out of their favorite cavity long enough to viciously “defend” Mr. Affirmative Action.
Sarah Palin is a lovely person, and I don’t really understand why the media hates her as much as they do.

Palin is not part of “the global, big-government club”. She’s a “barbarian” who clings to her “guns and religion”. She believes in constitutional restraint and states rights.
The old guard dissaproves.
“reflexes of a mongoose.” I like that.
Sarah Palin is fearless and she is fast.
