“I almost feel a little bit sorry for the president. They expected us to welcome the change. Come November we’re going to show them just how grateful we are.”

Sarah Palin rocked the house at the Rosemont Theatre tonight in Chicago, Illinois. The former Alaska Governor took a few shots at Barack Obama on his home turf during her sold out appearance in the Windy City.
NBC Chicago reported:
A packed house roared with cheers as GOP superstar Sarah Palin took the stage Wednesday night at the Rosemont Theatre.
Introduced to a video with a narrator that said “she’s right here in Barack Obama’s hometown,” Palin stood before an American flag and took on Illinois and its native son.
“This ‘hopey-changey’ thing isn’t what we bargained for,” the former Vice-Presidential candidate told the supportive crowd, adding that she was “glad to be here on the president’s home turf.”
“I almost feel a little bit sorry for the president,” she said. “They expected us to welcome the change. Come November we’re going to show them just how grateful we are.”

I wish to correct this statement, he was actually born in Mombasa kenya, but claims he was born in Hawaii and has a fraudulent computer generated birth certificate to prove it, he also has a Social security number issued from the state of Conneticut (which he never lived in). No one knows who this freak is.
Richwill commented:
Isn’t it wonderful that Sarah Palin can pack them in, even in Chicago? This woman is one of the best things that McCain ever did and I think he did it without meaning to.

Obama has done one thing well. He has unified our nation.
regularguy commented:
I have not a shred of pity for Mr. Obama. He wanted the job, he raised around a billion bucks (in many dubious ways) to get it, now he’s stuck with it. He’s sullied the office and the “profession.” He has divided people and is in the process of running the economy into the toilet. I am only grateful he’s far from being the supposed political genius he was rated to be, and instead, has revealed himself to be a radical leftist. He will find out how ungrateful the unwashed masses are out here in November. And that day can’t come soon enough.
Chippy commented:
The Blago case is about to expose our dear leader. And it all started in Chicago. Very interesting.
Dell commented:
Mrs. Palin lost a LOT of luster with her California RINO endorsement last week. Many thousands are very aware that she ignored the true Conservative and went with McCain’s RINO pal. She still hasn’t heard the end of that one.
Huge mistake.
Whine Whine Whine commented:
Dear Dell:
Complaining that a conservative leader shows diversity?
That’s rich.
Let me guess. Palin’s damned if she does and damned if she doesn’t.
I’m guessing the thing that’s got you riled is that she’s obviously not the small tent conservative you libs try to sell her as.
Opus #6 commented:
She has a bigger heart than I do. I don’t feel sorry for Obama at all.
ogee commented:
There is nothing wrong with Carly. The staunch Republican farmers lover her and they know how to pick winners. They put their money where their mouth is. She’s backed by the growers and farmers as well as the hard working people with true grit who are small business owners and contributers to this country. She’s not backed by the power bosses. Works for me. She’s bigger than the stench of the rotted old neo cons & worn out, stiff lipped Phillys Shafley types who border on psychosis. New blood and sanity is what we need. At this rate I’ll take anyone who hasn’t been selected by the commies in control within both parties. I voted for a truck driver for city council yesterday just because he is a non partisan tea partier. Party shmarty. We’ve ALL been screwed by party politics. It’s another sham to seperate us. Get real.
Go Sarah!
LOL
“They expected us to welcome the change. Come November we’re going to show them just how grateful we are” AND HOW! LOL

I agree with you Opus#6, no pity party for the communist party… (hey, bumper sticker?)

I fear for our country. It seems that so many have drank the kool-aid of socialism.

Go Sarah Go! Thank you Illinois for waking up! If Illinois can fire it’s corrupt politicians and elected officials, then one state at a time we can fire them, all over this great nation. And feel sorry for the O? NOT!

The key word is ‘almost’. I don’t feel sorry for him, regardless of the manner of retribution.
Jerry Y commented:
Good to know where all the halfwits hang out.
Governor Halfterm and her family of grifters will continue to live well, thanks to her little army sheep, with their fantasies of a Utopia consisting of guns and tax cuts for all, accountability for none.
Good luck, delusionals.
Chisum commented:
Jerry Y,
You are quite the original thinker, aren’t you? Even your insults are fresh and new.
Speaking of a little army of sheep…you must be a private.
Jerry Y commented:
Good one, Chisum!

I was a sponsor of this event. I had the HONOR of meeting this Beautiful Patriot. Here is her entire speech from last night: http://csteventucker.wordpress.com/
Jerry Y. commented:
Patriot? You’re kidding, right C.?
Maybe you tipped your hand regarding her appeal to the weak minded, though, when you referred to her as “beautiful.” That suggests strongly that if McCain had chosen someone that looked like say Bay Buchanan or Mary Matalin, maybe this Pied Piper of the terminally self-interested would have a slightly less robust (or loud) following.
Funny thing that folks like yourselves somehow find a serial liar (http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2009/nov/17/fact-checking-new-claims-palin-book/) who projects pride in her ignorance while failing to complete the job she committed to fulfilling so appealing.
I’ll give you this: the one thing this chronic underachiever has succeeded at is enriching herself and her grifter family of underachievers beyond the wildest dreams of someone requiring five community colleges to obtain a simple four year degree.
I’m sure Bill Buckley must be smiling somewhere.

Jerry Y. commented:
Nice article there, Chisum. You are a creature of fiction, aren’t you? (Well – as all the Palin faithful are, to be completely honest.)
Here’s a nice call out quote:
“who avoided as much responsibility as possible in his quest for job after new job”
Now substitute ‘her’ for ‘him.’
Project much?
Chisum commented:
Jerry,
You’re suffering from PDS. Get help!

You’re projecting again, Chisum. You and your ilk have done me the service of providing evidence of your complete lack of critical thinking when it comes to Palin – (and Reagan too, for that matter.)
Within this commentary, as well as so many other wingnut sites, lies graphic evidence of the dumbing down of a certain segment of the population – all of whom possess either a deep-seated need to demonize anyone they disagree with as an “other” (see comment #2) or to operate in an alternate reality (#6), wherein this country’s economic problems did not begin until January 20, 2009.
Where was the tea-baggery from you people when Reagan produced the biggest deficit in history, bigger than all previous presidents combined?
Where was your outrage when “W” put two wars – one of them completely unnecessary and damaging to this country’s security – on your grandchildren’s credit card?
Where was all the talk of “our freedom” when that same president began spying on Americans on the flimsiest of pretexts, w/o just cause?
You uninformed (i.e. Fox viewers) love throwing around words like “socialism’ and “communism” and “radical leftist” without the slightest inkling of what they mean – you couldn’t define them or cite examples if someone put a gun to your head (asserting their second amendment rights, you understand).
If it doesn’t fit on a bumper sticker (thanks #13), then collectively you couldn’t summon the brain cells to wrap your wee little gray matter around it.
Which fully explains the Palin phenomenon: she IS one of you.
Chisum commented:
Jerry,
Wow! You have it BAD!
You know what I find interesting? You call the Palin family “Grifters” and don’t even find that just a tad over the top. Apparently anything goes with you and your ilk in your obsession with everything Palin and your goal in attempting to destroy her. If she is so irrelevant why not just ignore her?
You are a master projectionist. And a spewer.

Jerry Y commented:
A spewer? Just armed with the facts, something completely alien to posters here, including yourself.
Glad I swallowed my coffee before reading your link, Chisum. “Baby Moses”? I see – so in addition to all other post-rational issues, you Palin worshipers also project a messianic complex upon her. Has anyone in the history of politics been so gifted, so brilliant, so brave, so worthy of adoration – at least since Ronaldus Maximus?
Apparently the right wing Spectator, in a rare gasp of intellectual honesty, has issues, too:
http://spectator.org/archives/2010/04/19/the-problem-with-palin/print
Think “grifters” overstates things? http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/sarah-palin-earned-estimated-12-million-july/story?id=10352437
I don’t need to “destroy” Palin – those already grounded in reality need not to pay her any more mind than they would any other bothersome, but mostly harmless nuisance.
Her fifteen minutes will be up soon enough, just as soon as her limited gifts of intellect implode.
But enough of this petty bourgeois fun! It’s been a slice, Chisum.
Chisum commented:
Jerry,
Your lack of self awareness is astounding.

Jerry Y has indeed earned his $4.00 per hour as a loyal Soros-bot. Granted, he shaved George’s back today. Jerry also used the exact same talking points and links his comrades at media matters and huffington mentioned. Commies: keep it to your self or get what’s coming. Americans are the meanest sons-of-bitches this planet has ever known.
