Palin for President?

Does she really feel she has what it takes to be President of the United States? Is the air and water in Alaska tainted? I just had to share this piece from CNN, and my responses are in blue...

Woodbury, New York (CNN) - Sarah Palin addressed a variety of issues Thursday at a gathering of business officials in Long Island, New York including her 2012 plans, first lady Michelle Obama, President Obama's proposed budget, the crisis in Egypt, and her feelings on the media.

Here's a snapshot of what she had to say:

On her 2012 ambitions:
"I am still thinking of leading this country. I am still thinking about it. I haven't made up my mind. We hired a chief of staff because Todd is getting tired of doing it for me." 


Usually when you hire a Chief of Staff with less than a year before the Iowa primary's, it's a good sign that you intend to run for your parties nomination.


When asked who else she might envision at the top of the GOP ticket Palin responded, "No one is more qualified to multi-tasking and doing all the things you need to do as a President than a woman."

She could be right about that, but she's not the woman to become President, and if Mrs. Clinton ever decided to run and it was against Palin, Clinton would win hands down.

She then began reciting from her resume, listing her experience as a mayor and running for Vice President.
"What I would look for in terms of character is someone who's been on the front lines, who understands how to administer, how to lead a team, how to run a business."

Did you not resign as Governor of Alaska after only 2 years in office? Now that's not leading a team in my mind.

On Michelle Obama:
"No wonder Michelle Obama is telling people to breast feed their babies, because the price of milk is rising so high."

OMG...Last time I checked babies are not feed milk, but either breast milk or baby formula. Sarah no wonder your kids are a bit off the way, as you must of feed them regular milk as babies..Geez..

She then warned the dozens of reporters at her question and answer event, "That better not be the takeaway here."

On the threat from the Muslim Brotherhood:
"We have to be sure a group like the Muslim Brotherhood isn't invited in to take over," she said. "The Muslim Brotherhood believes in sharia law."
"If they're radical enough to have already spoken against liberties and freedom is this good for Egypt and their freedoms?" she also said.

If it's the will of the people then the west will just have to deal with it. America has no right to tell the people of any country who should be their leaders. If you were President would you invade Egypt?

Palin also criticized the Obama Administration for appearing to flip-flop on Egypt.
"There was so much confusion about where our administration was," Palin said. "I won't condemn them for adding to the confusion, but the American public does deserve to know whose side we're on."

Last time I checked, America was on the side of freedom, and the right for a country to choose their type of government. What side are you on Sarah?

On the media:
Asked her about a recent Gallup Poll indicating more than 50 percent of those surveyed have a negative opinion of her, Palin responded, "In a lot of those polls I get my butt kicked."

Yes you do and that alone should tell you to give up on seeking the Republican nomination, if that's your end game.

"The poll you're referring to was taken after the Tucson tragedy. I don't think I ever went through more negative press than after Tucson," she said.

Yes you did again because you went on the air and made no sense in what you were saying, and you want to be the leader of the free world..Please!!

"How else does the public know you except through the press?

Maybe get a Reality Television show??Oops been there, done that!

When the press reports things that have really misrepresented my record as a council member, mayor… and what you stand for and who your family is," Palin continued, pointing to her reliance on Twitter and Facebook for public communications.
"I can't rely on a liberal-leaning press to do that for you. That's why social media will be so important."

So how's that working for you? Not too good given all the negative facebook groups that have been set-up.

On the president's budget proposal:
President Obama's budget plan will take the country "on the road to ruin," Palin said.

You could be right on that, but he did have a little help from George W. Bush who took a massive budget surplus when he became President and turned it into a massive budget deficit by the time he left office. Maybe fighting 2 wars at a cost of close to 1 Trillion might have had a bit to do with it.

"What the people of America are saying is, 'enough is enough no more status quo we don't want to continue deficit spending.'"

Now with your party in control of the House, then start producing a plan. You can't complain anymore as you now have to actually govern.

"Tone deaf politicians they're going to be fired and they're going to be replaced in the next election cycle if they don't pay attention," said Palin

Yes they will and at this rate it looks like your party will loose seats again.
