I’m sure a 6-year-old with a crayon could do something not unlike that,” snarked White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs Tuesday.

The object of Mr. Gibbs’ scorn was Gallup’s tracking poll for the day before, which showed only 47 percent of respondents approve of the job President Barack Obama is doing, with 46 percent disapproving.

Perhaps Mr. Gibbs’ skin was thin because this was the lowest ranking for a president at this point in his presidency since Gallup began conducting presidential approval polls in 1938.

When I see comments all over the web about how stupid Palin is, I’m just exasperated. People claim she didn’t write her book, didn’t write her WaPo Op-Ed… Even mainstream commentators seem to get away with calling her a bimbo (i.e. Chris “She didn’t write her book” Matthews).

How do we combat this?

I was recently in Missouri to attend a Palin book signing, and to see her speak to the College of the Ozarks. Two things struck me (beside the AMAZING crowd turnout in sub-freezing temps):

1. The local paper interviewed her dad who related the fact that Sarah worked 20-hour days the entire month of August writing her book. She has kept a journal since she was 8 years old. Her father says “Sarah wrote her book.”

But people want to think she’s an idiot.

2. At the speech, she delivered a stirring hour-long patriotic speech WITHOUT a teleprompter. She barely looked at her notes. She never lost her place. She was interrupted half a dozen times for standing ovations, but she just paused, then continued, as if reading the speech inside her head.

This woman is so much smarter than anyone gives her credit for. Her record IS bi-partisan. And I guess the only thing that gives me hope is when I hear some people starting to treat her with respect. I hope to see more of that.

P.S. She will support with all her power U.S. troops and special forces in the defence or our STILL GREAT NATION!

But then again, who needs to follow the Constitution?

She is a private citizen. Isn’t it illegal for the President to single out a private citizen for attack using the power of his office (and possibly the Federal Government)?? We do NOT elect dictators here and our Constitution enumerates our God-given rights–including that of free speech. It also limits the powers of federal government against the individual. Does Obama really want to break the law??? Does he really want to look ridiculous doing so?? Maybe it is time to impeach him and half of Congress too. Nobody seems to abide by the laws of this land anymore.

Never shy about $eeking money, Democratic President Obama’s Organizing for America is now using the threat of Republican Sarah Palin as an opportunity to acquire more.

It has just sent an e-mail out to its millions of supporters today pleading for urgent donations to fight the mother of five, now on her heavily-publicized, cross-country book promotion bus tour. She holds no political office currently; in fact, she’s among America’s unemployed, though doing quite well financially.

Perhaps you’ve heard a little something about Palin in recent days.

The former governor of Alaska has written a book called “Going Rogue” that details her experiences in last year’s presidential campaign, her values and thoughts on various issues.

SO….WHO’S SCARED OF WHOM?

ROTFLMAO!!!

Palin was polished, confident and funny. Well, good for her, but as far as I know she is still a bailout apologista, is gung-ho for the war, and has never spoken in depth about the economy (the #1 issue, imo, so I cannot judge her understanding of it). All still deal breakers for me.
