’)She discusses new energy and new ideas versus an older candidate. Gold. (via)
Oh yeah, she also lied again to inflate her resume.
Gov. Sarah Palin cites vigilance against Russian warplanes coming into U.S. airspace over Alaska as one of her foreign policy credentials. But the U.S. military command in charge says that hasn’t happened in her 21 months in office.
As Putin rears his head…
>> Sarah Palin Can’t Name a Newspaper She Reads
>> George Will: Palin Is Not Qualified
Well, maybe it didn’t happen. But she was watchin’, yah!
Remember, she’s also noted that Alaska borders Canada, which is another foreign country. So she’s had to look both ways.
You never know when those Canucks will launch their maple syrup missiles at us.
I break out into hives every time I hear her speak.
She seems to think “being new” is a virtue in itself. How about telling us exactly what she plans to do as a “new” voice?
Oh, that’s right, she doesn’t have any ideas beyond “I’m a hockey mom! Grr!”
“Sarah Palin Effectively Endorses Obama”
Really? Seems Obama endorses Palin – “It’s easy for me to go to Washington and frankly, be somewhat divorced from the day-to-day challenges people have,” he said. Obama, meanwhile, also mocks his own job in response to the same question. “We yak,” he said, while small-town mayors work.”
Obama…Admittedly Out of touch with Americans.
Put the context through your bitch-hole and it just doesn’t sound the way you want it-
“We’ve had an awful lot of small town mayors at the Democratic Convention, I assure you,” Obama said. “I meet them all the time. The mayors have some of the toughest jobs in the country because that’s where the rubber hits the road. You know, we yak in the Senate. They actually have to fill potholes and trim trees and make sure the garbage is taken away.”
Hmm, that video no workie for me on ff3.
Supporters of the GOP ticket seem to think they can separate the VP and Presidential battles, i.e. make Sen. Biden’s experience and Sen. Obama’s relative inexperience negatives, while making Gov. Palin’s inexperience and Sen. McCain’s experience positives. It’s not gonna fly.
William:
It was McCain who made the remark about being “somewhat divorced from the day-to-day challenges.”
See PD100″s cite of the full quote from Obama above about “yakking”.
William: not informed enough to comment on a blog intelligently.
Bruce,
Saying “we yak in the Senate” is a real confidence booster eh?
I guess when you get tingles down your leg in anticipation of electing your very own “Dear Leader”, his being able to yak is a bonus (with him being a “community organizer” and stuff).
Wee Willie:
I’m not the one who attributed a McCain quote to Obama, you are.
The full quote from Obama is in PD100’s comment above. It is an intelligent comment given in an interview, praising the work that local government officials do. The question was not “What do Senators do?”, and the answer was not “We yak.”
God, how fucking stubbornly stupid conservatives are. Or do you just act that way to piss me off?
And the only “tingles” I get are down my spine, when I think of President McThuselah dying and being succeeded by Gov. Hockeymom.
“We’ve had an awful lot of small town mayors at the Democratic Convention, I assure you,” Obama said. “I meet them all the time. The mayors have some of the toughest jobs in the country because that’s where the rubber hits the road. You know, we yak in the Senate. They actually have to fill potholes and trim trees and make sure the garbage is taken away.”
PD, you can run that quote through any orifice you want and it still shows Obama saying that mayors actually have to get things done, while those in the senate “yak”.
And note, he’s comparing Palin’s former job with his current one. Maybe he should compare being a governor vs. being one of two senators from a state.
That’s right, Dave. Obama said nice things about small-town mayors. As far as I know, he’s never said anything insulting about Palin, or mayors or governors in general.
Unlike conservatives’ snotty remarks about “community organizers”, which they put in quotes as if to suggest that it’s something to be sneered at.
It’s funny to see conservatives try to make these remarks into a negative for Obama, while simultaneously defending Palin’s cluelessness. And I love to see them trying to portray Katie Couric –COURIC!! — as some kind of attack dog. Like asking “What newspapres do you read?” is a GOTCHA question. And calling out Charlie Gibson for being “condescending”, while praising O’Reilly’s interview with Obama.
You guys slay me. Really.
As far as I know, he’s never said anything insulting about Palin, or mayors or governors in general.
Unlike conservatives’ snotty remarks about “community organizers”, which they put in quotes as if to suggest that it’s something to be sneered at.
Funny how you have this in reverse. It was Obama’s snide comments to Anderson Cooper about Palin’s role as Mayor (and acting as if she still were just a Mayor and not a Governor) that prompted the retort from Palin and others about about community organizers.
You might be right about the chronology of who was sarcastic first. Even a stopped watch is right twice a day. What time IS it, anyway?
You never know when those Canucks will launch their maple syrup missiles at us.
OH DEAR GOD! IT’S SO DELICIOUSLY TRAGIC!
PD, you can run that quote through any orifice you want and it still shows Obama saying that mayors actually have to get things done, while those in the senate “yak”.
I’m pretty sure Obama’s quote is about GOOD mayors, not ones that bungle stadium purchases.
It is an intelligent comment given in an interview, praising the work that local government officials do.
See, that’s what is throwing william off.
Yeah O, but one thing you gotta admire about Caribou Barbie (other than the fact that she’s wicked hot), is that she reads “…all of…” the magazines and newspapers that are placed before her.
When I was a little boy I ate all of the food that was placed before me…
(but I could still name my favorites)
