Sarah Palin Says “It’s Time A Woman Became President of the United States”

Sarah Palin is the first Republican leader to speak at the event in New Delhi. Sarah was invited to speak on her Vision for America.

Today’s tea party is a strong and vibrant movement in the US. The former VP candidate is emphasizing energy challenges. “We all face energy challenges in the international arena.” ENERGY is the key. My vision for a free and prosperous America involves an emphasis on energy.

On green energy– I am in favor of an “all of the above approach” to energy. Unfortunately, though some have stymied responsible drilling. It means we continue to transfer hundreds of millions of American dollars to foreign regimes. Everything is touched.

As government locks up land – they try to tell us that green jobs are our future. “A recent British study found that for every green job, 4 jobs were lost.” This is social engineering.

Americans can tap into our own natural resources. And natural gas- green and efficient. Natural gas is an ideal “bridge fuel” to the future. It’s a false fairy tale for government to interfere and for Americans to believe that we don’t need oil and gas.

“Big government ideas are once again being thrown into the ash heap of history – but they’re not going quietly.”

The future lies with us. There are few limits to what India and America can do together. We both want to expand trade and investment with allies.

Our ties and our bonds are deep. They’re not driven by a free people and a free markets not by conclaves.

We will lead because we are on the side of people to make decisions for themselves. We are on the side of religious tolerance and women’s rights. I admire India’s history of strong women leaders.

I supported South Carolina’s first Indian governor Nikki Haley. I support the tea party a vibrant and growing movement.

This hunger for freedom is not just American. We have such a connection. Half a world apart but connected by this. We can lead by example.

On trade with India– Sarah Palin: We are thankful for the free trade agreements throughout the world.

On foreign policy- Sarah Palin: There would have been more decisiveness. We have a rich tradition on being on the side of those who seek freedom. “Less dithering and more decisiveness.”

On China- Sarah Palin: China has a choice. We need to be sure and India needs to be sure that we are clear with their expectations… We say they manipulate their currency. They accuse us of the same. …What’s with the military buildup? We have concerns… Again we look forward to see them making the right choice.

On the tea party movement- Sarah Palin: The tea party patriots just want the Constitution to be followed. It’s smaller smarter government. It’s too good to have a leader.

On campaigning for VP- Sarah Palin: You can’t really trust the media. You have to have the boldness and courage of setting the record straight. Especially when they have made their choice… I’m not just going to sit back and take it. I’ve learned you can’t just trust the media to set the record straight. Republicans have the fighting instinct of sheep sometimes. I don’t play the victim card when they do choose to set the election straight.

On losing election- Sarah Palin: Obama was a change agent. Question: But so were you. Sarah Palin: But I wasn’t on the top of the ticket.

Sarah Palin: It’s time a woman became president of the United States of America. (Applause)

Sarah Palin: I am a strong supporter of peace through strength… If we want a more peaceful world India and America must work more closely together.

Her role in Republican Party- Sarah Palin: I’m pretty independent and some people don’t like that… I’m a mom and I just don’t have the time to play some of the games the guys want to play.

On reviving American economy- Sarah Palin: It’s common sense free market principles. Cutting spending.

Last question – Will you husband be called the first man? Sarah Palin: First dude.

Closing statement: When I was waiting for your speech I was talking to an official and he said he was looking forward to her speech. I asked him why and he said, “Because Sarah Palin is a a friend of India.”

First, the author doesnt seem to quote her, it looks more like summaries. So until someone shows a quote where she said it, I wont hold it against her.

Just go to Google and type in "It’s time a woman became president of the United States of America". You will get all the direct quotes you want with that particular quote headlining the entire article.

Here is only one of them.

FOX NATION: Sarah Palin in India 'It’s Time A Woman Became President of the United States'

She said it and the audience applauded.

It can't be any clearer than that until the video shows up on YouTube.

"On losing election-

Sarah Palin: Obama was a change agent.

Question: But so were you.

Sarah Palin: But I wasn’t on the top of the ticket.

Sarah Palin: It’s time a woman became president of the United States of America. (Applause)

there is a lack of that “decision making” process that goes with the Presidency. (Sorry Sarah...just my opinion)

This isn’t the first time someone has questioned her decision making ability, so let’s look at some of her decisions.

As chairman of the Alaska Oil & Gas Commission, she saw corruption. She chose not to take part in it. She couldn’t expose it while a member due to confidentiality rules, so she had to resign. She then decided to go public and accuse the chairman of the Alaska Republican Party of misuse of his office. She could have retained her office and a rather good salary and remained quiet. She chose to be out of work and have a clear conscience. A good decision and one that only an honest person would make.

She made a decision to challenge the sitting Republican governor. No one thought she had a chance to get the nomination, but she beat him and then went on to beat the former Democrat governor to win the seat.

When she was isolated, frozen, and attacked with Alinsky tactics in Alaska, she resigned. She was not able to be effective after her VP run due to these tactics. She was no good to Alaska or to the Republican Party as a result of what the democrats were doing. By resigning she changed the game. She was no longer frozen in place and as a result she was able to be a big part of the 2010 Republican victory. Good decision at great political risk.

Gov. Palin criticized Obamacare and its “death panels”. She was soundly ridiculed and called a liar. She understood that the bill could only be afforded by rationing care, that boards were created in the bill to do just that, and that they were death panels regardless of what they called them. Without her outspoken criticism, Obamacare would have sailed through with little public outcry. She made a great decision to speak out. TEA Party groups formed around the country to oppose Obamacare and overspending by the administration. Palin decided to whole-heartedly support the TEA Party groups while establishment Republicans were fearful of them. Another good decision.

Gov. Palin endorsed candidates in 2010 and most of them won. She mapped out 20 districts won by McCain-Palin in 2008 where democrat representatives were in office as targets. Yes, in politics, that’s what we do, target districts. 18 out of those 20 democrats were unseated. Good decisions.

Let’s look at a current foreign policy matter, Libya. On Feb. 22nd the rebels were gaining and Ghaddafy was threatening to use his air force against them. On Feb 22nd, Gov. Palin reacted to the rebellion in Libya by saying that Ghaddafy needed to be replaced and that the people of Libya needed protection from his thuggery and aerial assault by imposition of a no-fly zone by NATO. During the following week some of the European leaders also came out for a no-fly zone. Huckabee and Gingrich also later endorsed it. (Some others remained silent). It wasn’t until March 18th that Obama agreed to a UN no-fly zone after the Arab League endorsed the idea. It’s very unlikely that a no-fly zone will work now without much more military action as the rebels have already been defeated. Timing is everything in a military action. Gov. Palin analyzed the situation, saw a course of action that might encourage Ghaddafy to leave and made her decision. You can argue if that was the best thing to do, but she was decisive. Our President takes nearly a month to decide an issue where the facts are changing daily and then his staff tries to say that really Hillary was the one pushing him toward a no-fly zone, so that he has a scape goat if the policy fails. Palin again was leading the issue and was decisive.

If we look at other candidates, during the 2010 election, Romney often waited until after the primary to endorse the Republican winner. You don’t make enemies that way, but you are also assured of being ineffective in changing outcomes. Huckabee made endorsements but didn’t have a coherent methodology. His results were spotty. Gingrich was gun shy after endorsing Dede Scozzafava in NY. Of the other possible candidates only Jim DeMint made endorsements of conservatives. On policy matters, Palin is usually first out with an opinion and one that stands up to scrutiny. Others may follow, but some almost never offer an opinion on anything that is controversial yet it is said in the media that she doesn’t have much of a staff and that she lacks organization. If the others have a staff and an organization, why can’t they opine on the issues indicating the course of action they would take.

I’ll take Palin and her small staff and no organization over those others any day. She is the only Republican who has proven that they can make a good decision.
