He's been terrible and it isn't necessarily his fault, but rather that of the voters and his enablers. Even today he's joking about the economy - I guess it wasn't as shovel-ready as we expected. Yuk it up, if I pulled such a fast one on the American people I'd joke as well.
    I'm already tired of his non-stop "I will not rest until every Amerikan who wants a job, has a job" hollow speeches. I swear to you, the Bammer is clueless. I can't wait to see what kind of spin the Obama loving media and his re-election campaign comes up with to "justify" the ineptitude.

    Then don't take the job. Can you imagine the next OSU full-time football coach (whether Fickell continues or it is someone else) constantly bashing Tressel? Of course not. Obama campaigned for the position and millions of people bought his BS, this is on him. If he wants to blame someone, he can blame himself....or quit, but if he quits make sure Biden doesn't take over.

    About the only thing I learned last night is that Tim Pawlenty is either an out-and-out liar or he is the most spineless member of the Seven Dwarves on that stage. The day before the debate he touts his opposition to "Obamneycare", an obvious slam at Mitt. During the debate, he refused to take it to Romney, saying that it was meant as a slam at Obama. If these are his attributes, he's toast.

    And what does it say about your party when Michelle Bachman steals the thunder? Perhaps you'll have a better chance of "taking back the country" in 2016.

    As much as it would thrill the media and Democrats to see the R's slugging it out on stage in front of millions, all 7 of the "dwarves" know whom is the actual opponent. While each of them wants to receive the nomination, they are not going to have a free-for-all on a national forum just to satiate those desiring their downfall. I regard Pawlenty's remarks are respectful of his Republican brethren and my opinion was that he was giving Romney the opportunity to explain the differences between his Massachusetts plan and the one we are all destined to succumb under. I personally don't think Romney can do it as he will have to become a wonk to describe the idiosyncracies...which gives the impression he's splitting hairs and parsing words; both undesirable traits for someone seeking to run against the real opponent.

    The media and Left-wing is this country will stop at nothing to destroy 1 woman - http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2011/06/lib-media-slams-sarah-palin-for-writing-emails-at-an-8th-grade-level-ignore-obamas-7th-grade-level-speech/

    24,000 emails were copied for their feeding frenzy, and so far...nothing. Nada. Zilch. Zero. Empty. Not one tidbit that would conclusively show Americans how she is ultimately linked to Beelzebub himself. Matter of fact, the linked article states she writes emails more coherently than many CEO's. Shocked? Before you start spitting even more venom, hatred, vitriol, and assinine commentary...how would YOU like to have your email account essentially vandalized by your sworn enemies? Would YOU come out as strongly as Sarah? Remember, she wrote all of them NOT KNOWING that they would one day have the potential to be printed on the front page of the New York Times.

    Will the media and haters EVER leave her alone???

    Why weren't you bitching and moaning when people were FALSELY accusing President Obama of not being a US citizen? Or FALSELY saying he was best buddies with a terrorist?

    She is a public figure who will likely run for Preasident,she has opened herself up to this kind of stuff
  • Ty Webb
    Oh....and the Republican golden buy said once again that he 100% WILL NOT run for President in 2012 on Piers Morgan

    Tell you what...let's open up 24,000 of his emails and see if we can find any errors, omissions, and stupidity there. Have they? Nope. Is there any other candidate who is NOT RUNNING for office that has undergone the scrutiny, the investigations, the people combing through her TRASH, the people moving in next door to spy on her, and the microscopic bisections of each and every sentence she utters? You can't name one.

    By the way, you dodged my question by bringing Barry into the discussion. So how goes it, Ty...you want your sworn enemies sifting through each and every email you've written over the past 3 years or so? If you are against such action, then why is OK for the press/media/Soros-bots to do it? Yeah I know she's a public figure, but you can't name anyone else on the planet that's been terrorized as much as Sarah, now can you?

    If she has nothing to hide....why would she care?

    Terrorized? Ate you joking?

    Has her spouse and children ever received death threats?

    Has she ever been threatened to be shot in the head??

    Don't compare anything that's happened to her to what's happened to President Obama
  • Con_Alma
    She certainly is a galvanizing figure. For someone who is not, nor even has a chance at being a party nominee I don't understand why people focus on her so much.

    Let her flap her gums. It will die out eventually.

    It's also interesting that President Obama supporters are very confident in his ability to be reelected yet are drawn to the very people he is being predicted to be.

    She attacks President Obama....we aren't going to just sit there and let her do it

    Yes. The release of the 24,000 emails contained many death threats.

    ???? You certainly are naive if you think you can stop her. That wasn't my point. There are many people "attacking"/publicly disagreeing with the President. Some on a nightly basis that are in the public eye. It's interesting that she draws the attention and that there such a concern about him being "attacked" if there's no opponent that can beat him.

    Terrorized? Ate you joking? It's a moderately appropriate metaphor for how she's been treated.

    Has her spouse and children ever received death threats? Several. You don't read much, do you?

    Has she ever been threatened to be shot in the head?? Again...repeatedly.

    Don't compare anything that's happened to her to what's happened to President Obama. Why not? Obama gets off fairly easily in comparison.
    Oh, and did you see the part where the writing/speaking experts actually give her higher scores than the Bamster??

    You people went to the well one to many times with this email stunt, and now you look stupid. Well done.

    I don't recall anyone saying they were "best buddies," do you? Their relationship deserved to be brought to light and it was...simple as that.

    Ohh...you mean how Limbaugh,Hannity,and Beck said they

    Ohh...you mean how Limbaugh,Hannity,and Beck said they "very close"

    They served on a freaking board together

    Who gave Palin higher marks? Karl Rove and Bush speech writers??

    And something else,higher socres on what?? Being a moron?? Have you ever listened to the two speak?? He would crush her in a debate and it would be very very ugly

    Don't know nor much care about this, other to say that off-prompter, he's pretty much a verbal stumblebum. Not all that good a debater.

    It really doesn't matter that she publicly "attacks" him then. It will die off if the public finds it irrelevant.

    "Very close" isn't "best buddies." PrezBo launched his first campaign at the house of a domestic terrorist. They did a little more than "serve on a board together," Skip.

    Yeah, that's it. You should do a little Google before you post. It would do wonders for your cred.

    Didn't use the prompter against McCain and he pretty much owned him. None of these Republican candidates are capable of an original thought, as all of the spouting we hear from them are the standard talking points. Whenever anyone tries to get them to answer a question off that path, they continue as if the question was never asked.

    Pawlenty is a hypocrite who has no balls. He runs around on Fox News using the "Obamneycare" term and then doesn't have the guts to say it when Romney is face to face with him. I understand that they all have Obama as the common enemy but someone is going to have to distinguish himself from the others. Otherwise Romney wins by default.

    Don't worry about her. She has been reduced to also-ran status by none other than Michelle Bachman. As ditzy as Michelle comes off, she's way ahead of the quitter.
