Sarah Palin's transparent turnaround on the Birther issue catches the notice of ABC.



From ABC News:

In February, Palin said the "birther" issue was a "distraction" from the important issues.

"It's distracting. It gets annoying. Let's stick with what really matters," Palin said at an appearance at the Long Island Association.

Although she said she believes Obama was born in Hawaii, Palin seems to be reverting to her old position that it is fair game to ask the president for his birth certificate.

Maybe it has to do with Trump's surge in Republican polls, who is flying past her by most measurements.

Yeah I think it is as clear as can be that Palin is simply trying to tap into Trump's strange Birther inspired mojo.

However I don't think that Palin is really aware of WHY Trump has moved so far ahead in the polls.

You see the talking heads on the various news programs have it wrong.

It is NOT because he has gone full "Birther" that he is enjoying this surge in the polls.

It is because of the hair.


So if Palin REALLY wants to pull ahead of Donald Trump, I think she knows what she has to do.


Oh! Well okay then. You know she usually does not respond to one of my challenges so quickly.

    That looks way better and more current than her normal hairstyle. I'll bet Trump would look good in a bumpit.

    She sure does flip flop alot. She wasn't a "birther" but now she is. She's trying to imply that President Obama has something to hide..like maybe his religion is Muslim..that's what the Donald said and where does she come up with 2 million dollars? Is that the amount she's paying to hide the fake pregnancy?

    Okay everyone: once and for all, do a little research. Hawaii birth certificates at the time of the predident's birth did not ask for religion. So the Muslim stuff is all bunk.

    The certification that the campaign received back – which shows that Obama was born in Honolulu at 7:24 p.m. on Aug. 4, 1961 – was based on the content of the original document in state files, Fukino said.

    “What he got, everybody got. He put out exactly what everybody gets when they ask for a birth certificate.”

    Hawaiian officials say that the certification is, in fact, only one piece of abundant evidence of Obama’s birth in Hawaii. Joshua Wisch, a spokesman for the Hawaii attorney general’s office, noted that a public index of vital records, available for inspection in a bound volume at the Health Department’s Office of Health Status Monitoring, lists a male child named “Obama II, Barack Hussein” as having been born in the state.

    The $2M figure is from World Net Daily who took the total amount spent by the Obama Campaign for legal in 2008 and claimed that it had all been spent fighting birther attempts to view his birth certificate.

    I don't know how familiar any of you are with national campaigns, but there are many, many legal issues that have to be reviewed, and that's now always free.

    If the entire $2M was spent fighting birth certificate requests we'd be on this blog bitching about President McCain and his bubble-headed VP.

    Sarah should know about pullin' head. That's a family tradition practiced as recently as Bristol to Sarah to Sally Heath and no telling how far that blood line has been pulling head.

    With Todd pimping out Shailey to his friends, Track vandalizing school buses and Willow vandalizing houses, they too might continue the family tradition of pullin' head in an Alaskan prison if they are not careful.

    The simple fact is, there are enough people who are still interested in Obami's place of birth to make it a popular issue with Donald Trump. That doesn't mean that I support it any more than I didn't supported it before.

    The Donald needs to hire a talented stylist expert in coloring and stay on a schedule for touching up his roots.

    He is also experiencing a common problem with dyed hair: the ends are porous and dry thereby sucking up too much colorant. He is also being too cheap or too busy to keep his roots touched-up. That's why you see white roots, pale blond, and dark blond almost brown on the ends.

    His comb-over is really,really badly done, but his colorist is failing him big time. Poor Donald has fallen into the old lady trap - not enough attention to details.

    To be a presidential contender for the GOP and Teabaggers is not based on your politics, beliefs or platform. The front runner seems to be whoever can prove the black president was born in another country.

    So that's telling me the GOP/ Teabaggers gave up on beating Obama on issues and are relying on disqualifying him to gain office.

    I guess Donald's eyesight is going or his ego is masking how bad his hair looks - too long (because the wind lifts it to show untouched roots) and a bad coloring job.

    Donald - you have to spend time in the chair on a regular basis and give decent tips to get it done well.

    Don't be suckered in people. Gryphen and the media has got this wrong!!

    She WAS A BIRTHER before she was against it before she was for it again.

    Just a quick search brough up a Dec 2009 radio interview on youtube. At 6:45 when asked about the birth certificate, she says "the public is 'RIGHTFULLY' making it an issue. I don't have a problem with that. I don't know if I would have to bother making it an issue because member of the electorate still want answers."

    Do you think it's a fair question to be looking at?

    "I think it's a fair question just like past associations and past voting record.... All of that is fair game"

    This is also the interview whee she states she had produced Trig's birth certificate as making her and her kids fair game. The comes around the 8:00 mark.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-zHfWY2GJY (at 6:45)

    I found this quickly on google search as I recalled she's talked about the birth certificate on more than one occasion, whether it be made out like a joke in one of her 'paid speeches'.

    Sorry Gryphen - you bought into the MSM saying she was against it before she was for it. You didn't do your homework before posting.

    Americans Deem Obama The Winner Of The Shutdown Standoff

    Obama personally received a 54% approval rating for his handling of the budget negotiations. The Republicans were given a 54% disapproval rating for their handling of negotiations.

    Given that 76% of respondents said that Obama didn’t give up too much to get the deal, and 67% also believed that Republicans did not give up too much, it is safe to say that a majority of Americans view this as a fair deal.

    The degree to which Speaker John Boehner saved his party from disaster can measured by the fact that 65% of those polled supported federal funding for Planned Parenthood, and 71% opposed taking funding the way from the EPA, which would have limited their ability to enforce environmental regulations. It is also turns out that Obamacare is pretty popular too, as 58% of respondents supported continued federal government provision of healthcare reform funds. The Tea Party and social conservatives were on the wrong side of every issue.

    I think if you unraveled that Trump combover it would be about 2-3 feet long. His hair is longer than Palin's!

    Trump's idiocy is calculated to boost his ratings. Palin has never really calculated anything. She shoots from the hip. She's not really aiming at anything, she just thinks that if the birther crap can work for Trump it can work for her.

    No shit, I could never vote for anyone delusional enough to believe that a combover thing that bad is fooling anybody. He has more money than God. He could afford a million dollar hairpiece or buy the damn Hair Club if he wanted. I can understand being vain enough to try and hide his baldness, but damn, I could do better than that!

    As for Palin, she has merely confirmed that she is an ignorant buffoon who is also a fame whore, and she's gettin' all panicky 'cause she ain't in the limelight enough.

    I hope those lamestream media types are especially lame - by Palin's standards - and ask her to explain her total 180 degree about face from 2 months ago regarding the birther bullshit.

    It's REALLY starting to suck to be Palin.

    Does anyone remember how much Hillary and Bill wanted the nomination. I have no doubt that they played tough and they played to win and they would have left no stone unturned if it meant they could knock Obama out of the nomination. If they had any suspicion that Obama was not a citizen, they would have used it openly or privately to win the spot. Ditto for McCain. The governor of Hawaii was a republican and would have found a way to expose anything that was not as it should be.

    All the pundits I listened to today all said this is crazy and she must not be running. She is just desperately reaching out for more attention. I loved that they all pointed out her contradicting her ownself!

    Enjoy Mr Trump as the entertainment that he is. He's is just feeding his ego. He only cares about his name being mentioned and probably does not give a flip about politics. This shtick he is doing is getting him on TeeVee. That and people saying/writing his name is the only thing he cares about.

    Sarah reminds me of those female characters in soap operas who evolve from good to evil, evil to good, and on and on in a circle they go.

    She stands on nothing. I think she's envious of her idol Ivana and all the Donald exes, and she's trying to flirt by agreeing and buttering his ego, so he'll invite her to one of his parties, get all her kids good jobs working in Vegas, Florida. One can imagine them as a couple walking arm in arm, her with her big red wide collared satin jacket, bumpit, flag pin, short skirt, those red cork-heeled sandals, and Donald, suit and his yellow-pigmented combover, and Todd carrying her purse.

    Trump is enjoying all of the attention and publicity. He will never release his financial reports. He won't run. Palin is out of the main Republican loop. She is stuck with the crazies at the Tea Bagger end of the pool. Her switch back to Birther appeals to the religious right wing who were falling in love with Bachmann, Paul, and the other extreme members of the GOP. Palin may run for a little while to attract attention. (It's her life blood. She can't breathe if she isn't being noticed). She wants the donations, the publicity and maybe a little influence. But, she hasn't a chance.

    The funny thing about Sarah running for president is that it was Sarah herself who made people realize that she isn't qualified. The lamestreammedia can find Trig's real birth certificate, the guys who helped build the Palin house on weekends and all of the other stories that the Palins have been trying to keep quiet, and it won't make any difference. Her fans will still love her, and everyone else has gotten tired of her. I would like to suggest that Palin jumped the shark with that reality program, and she sealed the deal with her response to the Arizona shootings.

    Yup, Sarah needs to become a Birther again to get some attention.

    I would bet this issue was investigated and not just ignored during the primaries and the campaign.

    To believe that he is not a citizen is to believe that EVERYONE with a interest in beating him in the election just ignored the issue. Does that made any sense?
