Sarah Palin "Willing" to Face Obama in 2012

Sarah Palin told FOX News yesterday that she would be willing to face Obama in 2012.
FOX News reported:
Sarah Palin has President Obama in her sights, telling FoxNews.com she “would be willing” to challenge him in the 2012 presidential race.
The former Alaska governor, in an interview Saturday on the sidelines of the National Tea Party Convention in Nashville, said President Obama’s “lack of experience” has held him back his first year in office and that she would put her credentials up against his any day.
“I would be willing to if I believe that it’s right for the country,” Palin said when asked if she would run for president in 2012.
She qualified the statement, adding that she sees “many” other potential candidates who are “in as strong or stronger position than I am to take on the White House and if they’re in a better position than I in three years, I’ll support them.”

Now then, IF the left thinks Sarah is sooooooo stupid
youd think that they would cheer for her to run and fail. Deep down they know Barry was and is an over hyped candidate with no Gravetas. LOL
This is going to be fun to watch the Malignant Narcissist totally twist off one he is really marginalized and made a minority, again.
LOL

This is going to be fun to watch. I’m willing to bet Sarah Palin gets a lot of what she wants for the country politically whether or not she runs for President.
She’s figured out that she can have a lot of influence without holding elective office.

Militant Conservative:
I read blogs from both sides. There are many liberals who would love for Palin to run. What they’re afraid of, are the Scott Browns and Carly Fiorinas.
To be brutally honest, if BO was DC inexperienced, SP is DC incompetent. She really needs a few terms in the senate or heading a corporation or major world organization to be able to handle all the enemies America has out there. I’d go for the skills and not the charm – the latter which people should be pretty sick and tired of by then.
sliderblaze commented:
Derf… people dont want DC “competent” i mean really… is there anyone in DC that is competent…really? They seem to want real americans, not these beltway fruitloops, to which BO is one. And just to let you know, Senators make lousy presidents
derf commented:
C’mon. Baseball has ERAs and Batting Average. You’re saying there’s no way to rate Senators?
chris commented:
What is the attraction of someone who cut and ran from office, leaving the people of Alaska without the representative they voted for? That shows a lack of respect for the voters. But I know the people who drink the Palin coolaid won’t see it that way. Wonder why.

Number of Specific of Campaign Promises vs the Number of Vague Hopey Changey Promises
Percentage of Campaign Promises Kept
Fiscal Responsibility (a tough one but not impossible, as spending changes with the times)
Cash Intake from Special Interests
There are senators who abuse senatorial power. Ex – Maybe they live in mostly agricultural states, or on the west coast or Hawaii, and take massive lobby cash from corporations who dont do much business in their state. But their vote still counts as much as senators from regions where any legislation has impact.
If the Gates Foundation can figure out ways to rate teachers, political watchdogs can surely figure out ways to rate politicians.
If the Gates Foundation can figure out ways to rate something as nebulous as teachers and teaching, political watchdogs can surely figure out ways to rate politicians.

Sorry about the double last paragraph. Forgot to do a proofread scroll down.

Because, chris, we’re more concerned with the truth.
But, it is humorous the way you cling to such a stale talking point. It indicates your dependence on scripted material.
Militant Conservative commented:
IF she is that poor a candidate (like McCrazy was) you’d think the left would want her to run.
LOL they can’t even get thier lies straight.
brooklyn commented:
She has potential, but I am not seeing the best these days.
The hype was too overt, and actually hurt Mrs. Palin.
She still seems to appear to fail to grow, and the abandonment of the Governorship hurt her terribly.
It wasn’t responsible, it wasn’t a display of conservative principles, dedicated to one’s commitment.
Mrs. Palin is a fine American, but peddling populism is an odd effort for the former GOP VP Nominee.
The quip “we win they lose” is stolen from President Reagan, and is often used to cover from a rather poor display of a weak grasp in foreign policy.
The selling of a 100,000 Keynote to the Tea Party gathering, a suspect financial endeavor itself, is not a display of the true conservative leadership one can admire.
It is celebrity peddling, nothing more.
We need the same type of serious professionals we had in the victories in NJ, Virginia, Mass, etc., to lead the way.
Celebrity is not the answer.
Mrs. Palin is not the best we have to offer.
She could be a great inspiration for all, especially the youth, with her celebrity. But a serious Office in the future, is just more hype.
Crystal commented:
I agree somewhat of what you say, brooklyn. I think she should campaign for the best conservative candidates and wait until 2016 to take a shot at it herself.
She has a lot to learn and while helping the conservative party she will also be learning a lot by traveling and interacting with important, seasoned politicians as well as getting a strong handle on foreign policy.
She might also want to take some speech classes and get rid of that “ya betcha’ and ‘gotcha’ which isn’t very Presidential.
Even Obama who they think is such an elegant speaker can’t pronounce the word “history’ and instead pronounces it ‘histra’ Smack!!!
I’ve said this before and was slammed for it but it’s my opinion and nobody will ever take that away from me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MC – According to a lot of the blogs the lib crowd are begging her to run in 2012.
Maybe it’s just a part of their frightened act or maybe they really believe she’ll be creamed.
I’d like to fight for Sarah but so far I don’t have much amunition to fire back.
jonyjoe101 commented:
She is out of her league. The only way she can win is if she plays dirty “chicago” politics. But the republicans refuse to play dirty.
A good idea in a debate is for her to produce her “real” birth certificate, then look at obama and say “let’s see your birth certificate?”

Chris: Take your concern-troll astro-turfing act and hit the road.
Gary Gross commented:
I said in this post that, following last night’s speech, Gov. Palin established a pecking order for the other potential GOP candidates. She’s at the top of the list.

Sarah cut obozos ass Saturday night.

That was cute – but not as good as your last, long-winded effort as a concern troll. You only get a 6.5 for this one.
How do you ever hope to cling to your title as concern troll of the day if you keep offering rehashed pap like this?
Try harder in the future.
d’ohbama depends on you.
