Palin lauds Putin as likeable, forceful, and drilly

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/palin_people_think_of_obama_as_weak_wearing_mom_jeans

[font size="4"]Palin: People Think Of Obama Wearing 'Mom Jeans,' Putin Wrestling Bears[/font]

Sarah Palin on Monday blasted President Barack Obama's "weak leadership" on the situation in Ukraine, saying the perception of Obama across the globe is of a guy in "mom jeans."

Look, the perception of Obama, of him and his potency across the world is one of such weakness," Palin told Fox News' Sean Hannity. "People are looking at Putin as one who wrestles bears and drills for oil. They look at our president as one who wears mom jeans and equivocates and bloviates.”


Bloviates. She criticizes someone for bloviating. Wow.

Palin, who gloated about her 2008 prediction that Russia would be spurred on to invade Ukraine after it occupied parts of Georgia, criticized Obama for "leading from behind" and said other countries are starting to take advantage of his weakness on foreign policy.

The former vice presidential nominee also hit Obama on energy policy. Arguing for the Keystone XL pipeline, Palin said that when the U.S. can no longer "feed others with our resources," those nations turn toward resource-rich countries like Russia.


There is no pride quite like ignorant pride. At least when liberals criticize Obama over the Keystone pipeline, it's based on facts. If you're in favor of more drilling for oil, how does the pipeline become a talking point against the president?

They say a broken clock is right twice a day, but Palin can't even manage that. It's impressive dedication if nothing else.

Why in the hell any American citizen would put these remarks out for anyone to hear is not intelligent but again this is Sarah at her best. Maybe we could shove her off and she can float to Putin's house.

That is a logical reason why he would chose such an ignorant piece of horses**t to be so close to the Presidency.

Obama is a tyrannical, imperial president.

On the other, he's a spineless, weak-kneed, indecisive waffler.

Which is it?

Depends on the thing he's doing.

If he does what they don't like he's a waffler.

If they like it, he's a dictator.
