Sarah Palin on Obama's Failed Economic Policies: "I Told You So!"

[ColonPal]

For a Governor who used MILLIONS of taxpayers dollars to build a bridge to nowhere, Palin sure has no room to talk about failed policies. She can't even support her own FAMILY without one embarassment after another, let alone the state of Alaska.

I do love though, how she took her targets off AZ on her PAC site after the murderous rampage her fan Loughner went on in Tucson. Palin often forgets there's people stupid and insane enough to follow her queue and murder for her.

[J3yblivion]

"EXCLUSIVE: palin : we saw the fat strings attached tothese dollars"

[LOCOboiz]

How come so many people follow her?

[ColonPal]

@LOCOboiz -- Stupidity is the only excuse she has followers. Just look at the idiot who followed Jesus who never even actually existed. Palin is likeable because she's as stupid as some of her followers who found someone as stupid as themselves who they think is trustworthy because she's so clueless. The same thing happened with BUsh and we almost lost our entire country.

Palin will bring the US to a grinding halt.

[alexdoodd]

god sarah palin will destroy are county. stupid redneck she does not have a brain omg. Ogoerge bush screwed up everything and obamas trying 2 fixit butthe stupi republicans r messing up everything

[Kentonnno]

for god sake. sure obamas stimulus package wasnt the greatest for Alaskans. but lets be honest, if she is going to bring the "negative tax rate" mentality to the whitehouse thinking that it will increase USA's GDP, we will be in more of a debt than before.

[DUSTY1373]

she is hot

[Unklebillybob]

Mr oblama has no experience in;

* Health Care

* Budgets/Finance

* Foreign Affaires

* DOD/National Guard

* Business (Large or small)

* Military Matters

* State's Rights

Hell, when looking at his resume, it is very, very weak. The man is simply a Fence Post Turtle. Its time for him to resign.

[Conan568]

Sarah, ya gotta love her.

She's got bigger balls than Obama does, that's for sure.

[Unklebillybob]

1 Year of oblama's accomplishments -

1) He's hired a group of: Liars, Tax Cheats, Racists, Socialists, Marxists, Sexists, Military Hating, Unqualified People. And that's just in his cabinet.

2) Gave the American Working People: - A 787 Billion Dollar 'Stimulus Package' Loan. - A 3.6 Trillion Dollar 'Budget' Loan. - A 200-400 Billion Dollar 'Cap & Trade' Loan. - A 3 Billion Dollar 'Cash for Clunkers' Loan - Now, A 1.5 Trillion Dollar 'Health Care' Loan

[Drucef]

What would you have done differently? Obama inherited a fucking mess because of republican greed. Some of these loans are a waste, but seriously...what would you have done differently?

[Unklebillybob]

What would I have done differently?

First, since mr oblama has ZERO experience in business, I would have brought-in real business men/women, created a think tank and started looking at productve ways to fix the economy. Not piss away over a trillion dollars on failed & failing government programs.

Second, he should listen to his own speeches about CHANGE and tried real hard to live-up to his own promises.

Third, I would have nominated/hired a real cabinet, instead of a bunch of:

(cont)

[Unklebillybob]

(cont) Liars, Tax Chats, Racists, Socialists, Sexists, Marxists, Military Hating, Irresponsible, Unqualified individuals.

Fourth, In 2006, Congress was taken over by the democrat party. The House, headed by ms nancy (the democrats are in-charge) pileosii, and harry (we've lost the war) reid. This group of loosers pushed freddie mac and fannie mae on the lending institution to the point where - checks and balances were thrown out. And mr oblama was part of that congress.

(cont)

[Unklebillybob]

(cont)

Fifth, If I were president, I would immediately start a process where we would create a realistic Balanced Budget.

I wouldn't fly all over the world telling other countries how bad we are.

I would put together a cabinet that would serve the American People. Not cabinet members who don't have their own house in order.

I wouldn't piss-away billions, even trillions of dollars on failed or failing programs.

If you want to be specific or have specific questions,,, I can do that!

[Drucef]

Hmm...so would you have let the banks and insurance companies collapse?

[Unklebillybob]

In theory, we now own many of the banks. What good has this govt intervention accomplished? We now have bad business practices being rewarded by our govt. That is a stupid move.

[Drucef]

@Unklebillybob: It's funny, because Obama didn't award bad business practices. In fact he was blatantly telling them how irresponsible they were for using the bailout money to give bonuses to the CEOs of these companies. He definitely mishandled a lot of the money, but still, would you have let the banks and insurance companies collapse or would you have helped them out? Oh, and by the way, I'm not a democrat.

[Unklebillybob]

Dru - Wrong. Did he of didn't he give money to unworthy or failing companies?

And just waving his finger at them and telling them they were being irresponsible,,, Was suppose to fix it? NO, NO, NO.

You want to know how to fix this financial mess?

First, make the board of directors responsible for THEIR companies. You begin cleaning house with the Company's Boards.  Next, you start with the CEO's. Evaluate their job performance. Then to the Vice Presidents,,,,ETC, ETC ETC.

(CONT)

[Unklebillybob]

Dru (cont) If you want more specifics, I 'd need to see the company Books.

If honest and worthy companies come to the American People for a loan, then that should be reviewed on a CASE-BY-CASE basis. Dumocrats have it in their minds that all they need do is throw money at any problem and SHAZAM the problem is fixed. This is typical of those type of people who have never run any kind of a business. And I don't consider congress as a business.

By-the-way not being a democrat, Non-sequitur

[Drucef]

@ Unklebillybob: That's what I said...he GAVE money to these companies, and he was irresponsible about how he handed the money out. He tried to get the money back. Obviously he already fucked up. As far as the non-sequitur comment, I'm just saying, I'm not supporting Obama, just trying to understand your position. "First, make the board of directors responsible for THEIR companies". I agree. Therefore, they would have collapsed. They needed money because they were irresponsible. ? No?

[Unklebillybob]

Irresponsible! Yes!!

It is one thing for a company to run into financial difficulties. It is an entirely different matter for a company(including the board of directors) to bleed a company dry & expect the American People to pay for their incompetence.

Ergo, it appears we're in agreement.

UBB

[Drucef]

@Unklebillybob: Apparently. My only thought though is that if you were president, you would be pressed very hard to bail these companies out. If you didn't, they would collapse and republicans (if you were a democrat and maybe vice versa) would blame YOU (much like Obama) for the downfall of the economy. If you had given money - responsibly - and they still had financial trouble, they would still blame you out of sheer ignorance.

[Unklebillybob]

Dru - Like the old cliche,,, "In for a penny in for a pound." Once a company/coorporation starts getting in trouble, drastic steps need to be made to either turn it around or, close their doors. Yet you simply don't throw good money after bad. As far as people pointing fingers, ,,If you knew what kind of a boss I've been, you would know that my attitude toward FINGER POINTERS is not kind. However, what I do accomplish when an area of the business is sliding, is address the issue.

(cont)

[Unklebillybob]

One huge issue is that Mr Obama is so unqualified to handle any problems in the business world it is embarassing. Since we are talking about the downfall of OUR ECONOMY, let's start by looking at the causes.

Your first question might be,,,, How far back do we want to start? Or maybe your first question might be what dynamics were in place to cause the economy to turn to crap? Or, maybe you have no clue and desire to accomplish additional research.

Thoughts?

[aidanday]

Hahahah...that's a new one...Republican 'greed'.

Who's greedy, the party that wants to cut taxes so you can keep your money or the party that wants to take your money and give it to someone else?

[Drucef]

@aidanday: LOL. Really? That's a new one? You must be in denial...or extremely ignorant. Let me guess...Christian? The greedy party is the party that wants to keep all of their money when they contributed the most to the collapse of the economy. Obviously the republicans care about themselves and that's it. THAT is greedy. Democrats wanting to help everyone is definitely not greedy, even though it will increase laziness. Iraq war = republican GREED. Don't be stupid.

[aidanday]

Mmm...atheist. I'm 30 and I produce techno/house music and I'm the most socially liberal person you'll meet...

...and yet I cannot stand dumb lib-tards and the redistribution of wealth. I don't vote on issues, I vote on ideology (remove O'Reilly's negative connotation from the word).

Re-distribution of wealth and entitlement programs are WRONG and I will never support them.

Also, collapse of the economy (much OVERSTATED BTW - my life is EXACTLY the same as 2008) was a non-partisan issue.

[rkoliver1]

It's Bush's (and Joy Behar's) fault she has a best seller!

[thewrightplace]

I don't think Palin is the one for the job. Smart, pretty, and educated in some areas, but not for President. However, Obama is killing us.

[1crazyalex]

world economic crash...NOTHING WITH OBAMA DUHHHHH!!!!!

[123123Bear]

i would so totaly do her

[beefspareribs]

She was the only one fit for the job and she was drug through the mud. Nobody dared to attack Obama, it would have been the knee jerk reaction of the other side to label that person a bigot, racist, intolerant, hater, and the like that put the fear of god into anyone even considering the idea. McCain himself did not even have the balls to point out Obama's foreign birth and allegiance to illegal aliens. Now Obama will reward his constituents, the free loaders and the scum of humanity.

[GrizzlyAdams81]

Couldnt of been said better.

[harryluvessport]

@beefspareribs ..... Please.. No..... Just no, Its people like you that give Americans a bad name sometimes. She doesn't know what she is talking about,

[lilsm555]

@beefspareribs omg this world will end if she becomes president.

[Unklebillybob]

No one can borrow their way out of debt, , , no matter how hard they try. Especially when they keep borrowing money to pay for the last time they borrowed.

[ibilldavis]

SARAH 2012

[iLuvAkeys4ever]

The stimulas package has not failed because the money has not been released yet! If the money had been released and nothing had changed then you could say it had failed, but the reality is that the money has not been relesed yet that is why the country is still in such a mess!

[DBR765]

Your a dumbass. How about this, your broke and you need to pay rent. Lets just say. Well shit you can pay your rent with your credit card!!! Shit you can eat, fuel your card, buy your meth, and go to the movies on your credit card. THIS IS SO EASY. YOu don't ever have to work again!! You got credit cards!!!! Even a caveman can see the errors in your thinking.

[27632763]

republican just didnt want to show that they are weak . Hannity is talking to her and trickling like he is interested . this is ignorance . Palin against all team of advisor with obama and he is giving right to palin what the fuck !!!!!

[27632763]

look who the fuck is talking ? the Phd in economics MS caribou who see Russia from her house she learn a few word and she is talking. If she know what work Obama is doing she will be pissing in her pants and will cry all night . she is just blaba bala aaabababab

[PatriotsRepublic]

Fuck you moron... it was Tina Fey who said that... not Sarah Palin... god you morons are so fucking stupid... do you believe all the lies you spew???

[drjamesdiaz]

pretty obvious where you get your news from. SNL's imposter of Sarah Palin is the one who said she can see Russia, Paln never said that.  It had been attributed to Palin and assumed that she had actually said that statement. She did not.

[drjamesdiaz]

If I personally am in tough economic situation, do i spend more money or less???? Does giving money away to liberal or conservative pork barrel projects make any sense. Hell no. Spend less and throw out the red carpet to businesses who are going to hire. We need jobs. Don't punish the employers who will hire and put people back to work. Maybe people won't have to foreclose on there homes. There's a concept. What would YOU rather have, a pitty tax rebate or a job???

[PlagueRiddenGoat]

I prefer living under true Socialism (Government for the Workers and not the rich corporates) than a CONservative israeli zionist.

Palin is just a jewish puppet who still wants the rich to be in charge of everything.

[drpeaches1979]

I wish she was a Jewish puppet. Then her routine would be funny, not sad and crazy. But she's not qualified to be a puppet. Even that job require more brains than she possesses.

[crabtrap]

fuck you, she is at LEAST as smart as Obama-Akbar

[labartic]

Ron Paul warned everyone in many many years ago. This stupid bitch knows NOTHING about economics compared to Ron Paul.

If Americans were smart, they wouldve elected Ron Paul.

Sarah Palin is a fucking idiot.

[brmachineco]

I love her!

Boy oh boy... what could've been!

[AlNouveau]

You're joking right?

[USPatriot3]

I love her too! She's one, hell of a woman!

[drpeaches1979]

You're joking too, right?

[USPatriot3]

Nope. She's smarter than you, and Obama combined! Maybe I should say Obama's teleprompter!

[drpeaches1979]

I actually think Obama's teleprompter got better grades in school than she did. I also think Obama's teleprompter went to one school, a good school.

Look friend, you can like her. But the idea that she's smarter than a Columbia/Harvard educated University of Chicago constitutional law professor is laughable.

He also wrote two well-reviewed books by himself. Someone is currently writing her book for her.

You can like her and her values. But don't be silly.

[USPatriot3]

I don't think going to Harvard automatically makes you smarter than someone whom did not go to an Ivy League school. Let's face it, you are just upset with her being a political figure that didn't go to a "President Factory" school like Harvard or Yale.

I am from the same area Obama was a state rep. for and he is not as smart as you think! He still won't release his school records, so we don't know what kind of student he was, but I think he got mediocre grades and that's why we can't see them.

[drpeaches1979]

I am not upset that she didn't go to one of those schools. I just don't think she has the intellect to deal with the serious problems facing this country.

Going to Harvard doesn't mean you're smart. But you don't become president of the Harvard Law Review if you're not smart. Many conservatives agree that his own writing indicates that he possesses a unique intellect. That doesn't mean he's right. It just means he's smart.

[drpeaches1979]

I think Newt is very smart. I think he's wrong on most issues but I would be a fool to deny his intellect. You must admit that Sarah Palin is not as sharp as Newt or Barack.

[USPatriot3]

I think Newt is sharp, and I think Barack is also sharp, but I refuse to say Palin is an "idiot" because she may not be as "articulate" as the other two, or because she went to a state school, not an Ivy League school.  She got a raw deal from the media, who used blatant lies from bloggers, and reported them as facts. I would like to meet her to find out for myself.

/watch?v=-95wkCMeUkk

See her in her own words.

[drpeaches1979]

I just watched the video. She's not an idiot (I have to take shot after writing that). At the same time, I don't think she's prepared for the big leagues. The media isn't fair (ask the Clintons) but you have learn how to deal with that. Also, these are serious times, and both parties need serious thinkers. I just don't think that's her. Plus, I think she's doing herself a disservice and Republicans are doing themselves a disservice by pushing her out there before she's ready.

[USPatriot3]

I think we'll never know what she could have been. Some people do well with pressure thrust upon them. She may have been one of those people. I believe she was more prepared for POTUS than Obama was. She had more experience as an executive than he did, and she still does to this day.

Besides, she was the VP candidate, and would have gained the necessary experience to take the step up in the next election cycle.

[drpeaches1979]

She has more executive experience than Newt, and I'd pick him over her any day of the week (that is, if I had to).

Nothing prepares you to be POTUS except being POTUS. Some of the most experience presidents of this century made some of the worst mistakes (e.g. Nixon and Johnson). These times call for a strong mind, an agile mind. Thus far, she hasn't demonstrated that to me, and I'm afraid most moderates and independents feel the same way about her.

[USPatriot3]

I think I would have to agree with you on that. I would also take Newt over Palin. But, she certainly is easier on the eyes! ;)

[drpeaches1979]

On that we can agree!!! lol

[crabtrap]

and some of are best

pres did not even attend college . Andrew Jackson for one

[crabtrap]

GW Bush went to Yale . by your logic that means he is of a higher intellect then Obama .

[aidanday]

You do know that Obama went to Harvard, right?

I mean, I think Obama's a hack and a demagogue, but he did get into Harvard...

Palin is a stupid bitch and needs to STFU so that the Libertarian wing of the party can take over...

[crabtrap]

@aidanday well im all for the libertarian wing taking over(the REAL liberitarians,NOT glen beckies) .

as for Harvard; since when has that made a good pres?? the Bushes went to Yale,I mean Yale for good sakes! how'd that turn out? SPalin is hardly stupid and is as capable if not more so then BO to be pres . she is not my choice but she is at least more honest then BO

[aidanday]

Dude, Sarah Palin actually *is* stupid. Sorry. She can pull it together on TV sometimes, but she doesn't form her own opinions (handlers) nor does she actually understand political science on any level. I doubt she could tell you who Rousseau, Locke or any classic philosopher even is...

Seriously, she has a GD Communications degree...that's what college athletes (dumb as rocks) typically shoot for...

[crabtrap]

@aidanday "Locke or any classic philosopher even is" hmmm,i wonder if pres Andrew Jackson could have(no!) Obama does not understand Austrian economic theory or economics in general . we don't need an elitist philosophy professor for pres,we need a person that understands the rights of the individual and free markets .i don't think SP is that person but i KNOW BO isn't .

[aidanday]

@crabtrap -

Then we're in agreement! (re: the last sentence).

[crabtrap]

well then i guess our only disagreement is you calling SP "stupid" which she clearly is not .

[aidanday]

Hah...I do maintain that she's fairly unintelligent! I guess we'll agree to disagree, and I appreciate your civility! :-)

[crabtrap]

well lets just say she is AS intelligent as the rest of the politicians in circulation

[Madmardi82]

@aidanday

Harvard lost its reputation 25 years ago. It is nothing but an affirmitive action, liberal school. A harvard "education" is now considered by many to be a bad thing.

[Unklebillybob]

Yep, he got into college. Isn't AA a great thing?

[crabtrap]

Obama can't understand simple economics,perhaps he was busy reading Mao during the class
