Palin fires back on Facebook with list of Obama gaffes

Dr_Patrick said:
Yes, and this is a thread about Palin. What does Obama have to do with this, other than the fact that she posted a list of Obama gaffes?

Well, it sorta is about Obama. That's who she fired back about on Facebook.
She was comparing the treatment of his gaffes to hers.

Too bad context doesn't matter to Conservative. Not to mention that the foundation of this mess is squarely centered with Gringrich and Clinton. But that would get in the way of mindless partisan hackery.

And this speaks to my point how, exactly? And for that matter, how does it do anything but bolster HER point? She's apparently seeking the office. Obama's already in it, which makes HIS gaffes a bit more pressing of an issue.

And what recent gaffe during his presidency comes to mind? Palin opens her mouth and dispels any rumors she's not an idiot. That would be fine if you're not running for office or have open notions of it. But she does. What exactly is her point?

Kid's with asthma needing a breathalizer comes to mind.

Not really. The repeal of the GSA hadn't had serious time to cause the kind of damage we saw. Furthermore, CRA loans weren't being imitated by non-CRA banks in any real numbers until the mid 2000s. And big banks weren't as leveraged and operating on commercial paper like they were in the 1990s. The real low rates of Greenspan made operating on 3 month CP a viable practice. While the foundation was set before Bush, the construction of the faulty house was built during Bush's 2 terms. Obama had the awful timing to enter right as the foundation was cracking.

Please reread what you quoted. "during his presidency"

Besides, screwing breathalizer vs North Korea who thousands of Americans died fighting and which we maintain 28,000 sacrificial lambs to stop is not the same thing.

Lol, they both make mistakes. You speak of her verbal gaffes, but Obama's made both verbal gaffes and actual mistakes such as not adhering to campaign promises.

Which disturbs me. If you cannot listen to your handlers, what makes you think you'll listen to your advisers in the White House? No one knows everything. And when you cannot even do the basics of what your Handlers tell you to, you won't even come close to understanding and doing what your advisers tell you. If Palin was an economic, foreign policy and domestic policy superstar, which she is anything but, that wouldn't be a problem. But the lady is bloody retarded whenever she opens her mouth on any intelligent subject. Handlers are like training wheels. If you cannot operate on that, what makes you think you can operate on a real bike?

Poohie on handlers. The only one she needs is Todd. He's doing a fine job too.
When she gets elected she will appoint smart adviser's that we can all trust to make good suggestions. Unlike Obama's advisers. I'm kind of glad he doesn't listen to some of them. They're farther left than he is.
Besides, since when is it a president's job to do what she's told? Didn't the libs bitch all the time because they thought Cheney and others were running the show?

He asked for the job. Time to stop whining about it.

That was during his presidency, while he was trying to sell us his crappy healthcare bill. It was way worse than Palin accidentally saying North in the wrong place when she had said it in the right place previously. She KNOWS North Korea isn't an alli.
He was trying to sell us something that will totally change our way of life and economy if not repealed. It will affect the lives of over 300,000,000 Americans, and not to the good.
If it scares you that Palin said North, then it can scare me that Obama said breathalizer.

And the correct words just flow from the gentleman's mouth. I feel like fainting at just the sound of his voice. He is so articulate.....

LOL yep we have some real beauties. God was very generous when passing out looks to conservatives. No wonder liberal women are so mean and hateful. God wasn't so nice to them.

Wait, maybe I got it backwards. They are mean and hateful so therefore God was not as nice to them?

Anyway, I'm only JOKING. I'm not trying to be mean. I'm sure there are some beautiful Libs and some ugly conservatives. :)

I was an ugly conservative.
Now I'm just a fugly moderate :(
 
The Palins really need to learn how to use facebook. Seems as if they are always making mistakes on there or tossing out hate slurs:roll:
 
Middleground said:
You have to be ****ing kidding me. How many times have I hear the "57 states" gaffe? :roll: Do a quick google and you'll get 28 million hits.

And FWIW, I don't give a rat's behind about Palin's latest brain fart, nor any of Obama's or Biden's. Besides a possible chuckle, I get nothing else out of it. People misspeak all of the time and it's not a reflection of their intelligence.

It's one thing to mix up NL and SK, but how about farking up on your religion? Where was the press when Obama said he was a Muslim?

Or his 57-states? Or his Kansas disaster BS? Or his lack of knowledge of American geography gaffe? Or his giganormous Selma gaffe? Or his Hanford nuke site gaffe?

Palin took the knife the journOlists tried to stick in her back, used the force of their motion and stuck it in their collective faces. She nailed two targets to boot. Obama and his propagandist journOlists.

Watching the news in central Europe, one of the channels where they actually ran the Palin clip of course framed her as a right wing nut-job dunce.

They never run or ran anything similar about Obama... ever.

And people wonder why republicans are seen the way they are in Europe.

Good for Palin to put this out; someone has to hold the nitwit journOlists accountable for slanted reporting. She did 7-shows on the run, makes an honest mistake and the left goes ballistic.

This is why she would nuke Obama... he's weak, and she wouldn't be afraid of exploiting his weaknesses or let his BS slide anymore than she let the press pull this BS.

I recall numerous instances where prominent news organizations covered gaffes made by either the President or Vice President Obama. To say that either or those two figures get a pass from the media is blatantly false. What I don't recall is either Obama or Biden pointing fingers toward Bush for his gaffes, and acting out like children on a social network because the big bad media pointed out their slips.

Her quick-step move to play victim (accompanied by her ilk that is so willing to aid the maneuver) cause much more attention than normal... as her own antics are to blame. Acting as if left-leaning media heads have some sort of vendetta toward a quitter governor who can't hold her own in interviews is a chosen position... a stupid one at that. She's gold for ratings, and that is her own fault.

No one has to be an expert to give an opinion... just those who wish to be taken seriously.
 
Palin is not qualified to be president.

But......

She is vastly more qualified than Obama.

...as is your basic zoo animal.
