Most of the political pundits were more than just a little impressed.
However it was not the content of the speech, the calling out of the Republicans, nor the crowd response that caught the attention of the Sarah Palin supporters.
It was this:
So in a 55 minute speech, that covered a number of topics, invoked the spirit of Theodore Roosevelt as well as the OWS movement, and called on Americans to work together across party lines, to help this country live up to its potential, ALL the Sarah Palin paint chip eaters could focus on is a moment of confusion at the very beginning of the speech?
Really?
Could you imagine if they had EVER held the Grizzled Mama up to such a high standard? Well let's face it, if they had they would never even have considered BECOMING Sarah Palin supporters, now would they?
That oops moment looked deliberate, an inside joke. I don't think it was a gaff. As for the chip eaters, seriously? The Tundra Turd gets nothing right, and you criticize Obama for that? Wow. Just wow.
ReplyDeleteWas he making a joke? Who was the Bill person that he referred to? He said he was giving him a hard time. Did that Bill guy say Texas instead of Kansas and Obama was yankin' his chain?? That was the impression I got, otherwise good save on Obama's part. How witty is that. He totally caught himself.
ReplyDeleteThose OTHER candidates have enough gaffs to dig their way to China!!
It looked to me like it was a private joke, not a mistake.
ReplyDeleteTodd Palin solicited Shailey Tripp for sex. Sarah Palin lied to cover up her husband's illegal acts.
ReplyDelete'nuff said.
So a staged joke oops by Obama got the knuckledraggers worked up? lol. It was OBVIOUS that it was a joke. How stupid are those people? Oh wait...
ReplyDeleteI'm not clicking on that link to sarahnet (I refuse to go to any of those places), so could you tell me what the retards said? Not that I actually care what they said. Just keeping track of their delusion level.
ReplyDeleteIt was a joke, he was teasing the Kansas basketball coach:

This speech may go down in history as a game changer. Can you imagine Sarah Palin delivering this speech? First, the audience would last about five minutes before running out of the auditorium, ears bleeding. Of course, Sarah could never write such a speech in the first place, and if it was written for her, she would insist on adding some of her high class verbiage like "hockey mom" and "broads." Of course, it would be all about her anyway. She would bring in her stellar family and somehow have them responsible for winning WWII, Korean War and the Viet Nam War.
ReplyDeleteI loved how President Obama told the story of his grandparents and how they served their country during the war and how his grandfather was able to educate himself through the GI Bill. His family is an inspiration to all Americans; they worked hard and achieved the American Dream.
And then there's Sarah's family.
It's all they've got.
ReplyDeleteAnd love is blind. (deaf and dumb also too.)
They don't know how to tell when a joke is being told or when they are supporting one. Poor things, they are just very, very slow.
ReplyDeleteSo proud to see that Kansas flag behind him!
ReplyDeleteI thought he was joking with someone?
ReplyDeleteIn their heads this is worse than Oops Perry forgetting which third dept. he would eliminate.
ReplyDeleteThese people are scum.
I read Willow is not in school because she is graduating early.
ReplyDeleteHow can that retard who was kicked out of school for interfering with the education of others graduate early when she is seen roaming the streets of Los Angeles and riding cross country through North America with her boyfriend instead of being home schooled?
I betcha SarahPac is paying for a tutor for that skank and somehow they will scam the system like they did for Bristol and get Willow an honorary high school diploma too.
Or they will lie and claim Willow got her high school diploma.
Or Willow applies for a GED and claim she graduated early.
A sure bet would be that Willow does not go to college.
Willow will end up:
1) Working for SarahPac licking envelopes.
2) Working for Todd's prostitution ring licking whatever.
3) Get pregnant and live in one of Sarah's houses until her 18 year old pacifier sucking child goes to prison.
4) Go into private movies, the porno movie business.
I don't think Willow will be a beautician like her sister Bristol the ex dancer, the ex motivational speaker, the ex author, the ex magazine model and current underage mechanical bull riding runner up.
Some candidates were saying that they are not going to kiss the ring of Donald Trump to get his endorsement.
ReplyDeleteNewt went there and I believe it was Perry who got the royal treatment with fine dining.
What did Sarah Palin get when she went to kiss the Donald's ass?
Sarah got a slice of pizza on a paper plate in a two bit diner while people watched through the plate glass window. LOL the treatment fit for an uneducated retarded never was two bit trailer park queen.
That has to be the most embarrassing moment in her life. Oh I forgot about when it was revealed that underage Bristol was pregnant, her husband is a nipple peeping tom who sleeps with prostitutes, then there was the time Sarah was called out on a lie that she is the mother of a combat vet then the time Willow got caught breaking and entering oh how about when Willow got her ass kicked out of school and then there was the time Sarah thought her shit doesn't stink and went to Minnesota for a double book signing event with Bristol and lots of police and SWAT teams and hardly anybody showed up and then there was......
The Sarah Palin paint chip eaters aren't the only ones who are obsessing about "Tex...er, Kansas".
ReplyDeleteA writer for the National Review Tweeted it, and the nasty little twit who does most of the @WHPressCorps Tweets RT'd it.
Wake up America might be right though -- although that won't keep the paint chip eaters from adding the "gaffe" to "57 states".

On another topic, Gryphen, perhaps you could re-contact "Fred" and find out if that book is on the back burner, a no-go, or what?
I just read this, which indicates to me the majority of MSM and the public still have no idea Sarah Palin is a POS:
"Not only that, but Gingrich has a messy personal life, and has been married three times. Palin might jeopardize her sparkling social credentials by backing someone who was conducting an illicit sexual affair at the same time he was criticizing then-President Bill Clinton during the latter’s impeachment process."

Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!
ReplyDeleteWhen I bitch about President Obama it's precisely because he doesn't do this kind of speech very often. If he take the gloves off more often, HE could control the debate instead the infuriating little piss-weasels McConnell, Boehner, and Cantor. I simply don't understand why he seems so reluctant to use the bully pulpit. When he has done so, inevitably he has been successful. I just wish he'd make this a greater part of his routine.
Come on, Mr. President. Doesn't it feel better when you kick the collective GOP ass?
You can bet that when the teabaggers respond to legion of rhetorical blunders that have been gushing forth from the pieholes of feckless morons Palin, Bachmann, P.Rick, Cain, and others, they will trot out this minor stumble from the president as evidence that he is no better.
What I find telling is that in five years giving constant speeches as candidate and president, totaling certainly thousands of speeches, they now have two verbal gaffes - TWO. However, they were CLEARLY simple misstatements of a type that EVERY public speaker occasionally makes. Palin, Bachmann, P.Rick, or Cain made MANY such errors in EVERY single speech. They also made errors of a kind that were NOT simple misstatements but clearly indicated that they weren't smart enough to catch their own mistakes. They made/make bumbling gaffes that highlighted/highlight their profound ignorance and vapidity.
Besides, it looked to me like the president may have deliberately been yanking the audience's chain. As someone that has lived both in and near Texas, I can tell you that the greatest insult you can give and audience from NM, OK, AR, LA, CO, or KS would be to say they were from TEXAS. The president's comfort level with the crowd was such that he could playfully tweak their nose in such a way as to not offend.
WakeUpAmerica,
I plan on plagiarizing your Palin sobriquet "Tundra Turd." THAT'S the best Palin moniker yet.
It WASN'T a stumble, it was a joke.
"A sure bet would be that Willow does not go to college.
ReplyDeleteWillow will end up:
1) Working for SarahPac licking envelopes.
2) Working for Todd's prostitution ring licking whatever.
3) Get pregnant and live in one of Sarah's houses until her 18 year old pacifier sucking child goes to prison.

Hey Bristol doesn't the adult film business sounds like fun?
Its easy work.
You are good at it.
The best part is its an all you can eat career.
How about "Sister Act Palin Style" starring Willow, Bristol and Todd Palin?
GMAFB. If these dumbasses thinks that a little inside joke and President Obama "57 states" is on par with torture, wars, crosshairs/massacre, all of her -gates, poor mothering, poor choices, taking credit and taking a second place ribbon for a marathon she didn't run, obvious big shoes, using pac funds for her family and friends' atm machine, dirty wigs, lip gross, crusty toes, hooker clothes, delinquent kids, cheating, and lying, so be it.
ReplyDeleteThose obvious palin fans, don't realize that President Obama was born in Kansas and has white grandparents, relatives.
ReplyDeleteThey want so badly to compare Our President to the insufferable bitch. Not a chance asslicks.
Hannity showed the clips of Obama talking about how we are one nation, united. Then he had the audacity to condemn the President for "trying to sound like Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, Kennedy..." What is the matter with these morons? I know deep down they want a white, rich male America, but can they not for one second see that the United States was created as one nation. One. Not Fox and everyone else. God, I am so sick of that smarmy, smug, arrogant Hannity. Cannot watch him for 2 minutes.
ReplyDeleteThe President? I can listen to him for hours.
Well, great, let the rabid tea get all foamed up over nothing.
ReplyDeleteThey're basically on their last grasp of reality and last gasp of political life as they flush themselves down the toilet.
They're so bad even some of my paint chip eating and knuckle dragging relatives are rethinking their views on drinking anymore of the tea kooky koolaid.
Thankfully, many people are finally coming to their senses and realizing the tea and their candidates are nothing more than a corporate led venue for benefit of the 1%.
They might not vote for Obama in 2012, yet they probably won't also vote for tea anyone in 2012. Which is also good news as they won't get out to vote for Minnesota's other tea foam in 2012: the ballot initiative over marriage.
Hey Sarah when is Tawd's love interest getting her computer back?
ReplyDeleteThat's called being petty. Just like the object of their affection.
ReplyDeleteWhen is Track getting married?
ReplyDeleteI have not received my invite yet.
Will the bride wear off white or canary yellow, the Palin and Heath's traditional non virgin bridal colors?
news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/yahoo-exclusive-republicans-disclose-private-call-too-dangerous-175828684.html
ReplyDeleteRepublicans on a private Republican National Committee conference call with allies warned Tuesday that party surrogates should refrain from personal attacks against President Barack Obama, because such a strategy is too hazardous for the GOP.
"We're hesitant to jump on board with heavy attacks" personally against President Obama, Nicholas Thompson, the vice president of polling firm the Tarrance Group, said on the call. "There's a lot of people who feel sorry for him."
Recent polling data indicates that while the president suffers from significantly low job approval ratings, voters still give "high approval" to Obama personally, Thompson said.
Voters "don't think he's an evil man who's out to change the United States" for the worse--even though many of the same survey respondents agree that his policies have harmed the country, Thompson said. The upshot, Thompson stressed, is that Republicans should "exercise some caution" when talking about the president personally.
On the call--which Yahoo News was invited to attend because of a mistake by someone on the staff of the Republican National Committee--Ari Fleischer, the former press secretary for George W. Bush, encouraged Republicans to turn around Democratic attacks lobbed at the GOP presidential candidates (Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich, for starters) for "flip-flopping."
It's pretty lame, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteOther people (and especially the Black Fella who's President) are held up to the HIGHEST standards.
But Saint Sarah? If she manages to get thru a speech without tripping on her wigs, drooling on herself or shitting her pants then she's the BEST SPEAKER IN THE ENTIRE WORLD, GIVE HER THE PRESIDENCY TODAY!!!
jokes on $arah and her other weak-minded self-awareness retarded cohorts. it wasn't a gaffe at all.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's certainly possible it was an intended joke.
ReplyDeleteBut even so - a slip of the tongue - "Teleprompter!!!!!!"
It's all they have.
That looked intentional to me.
ReplyDeleteIf President Obama stood on a stage, stuck his finger in his ear and chanted la-la-la-la-la, he would still be making more sense than the traitorous rantings of Palin, Gingrich, Romney, Perry etc.
ReplyDeleteIt seems unlikely that those who support these idiots will ever realize that the constant badgering by these imbeciles is not only detrimental to the president but also to themselves. No one can convince me that there are no Rethugs who don't use the services of Planned Parenthood, social welfare agencies, public schools, unemployment insurance offices and more. Nor do I believe that any of them haven't found themselves financially strapped by the cost of health insurance, upside down in their loan to value home loans or trying to figure out how to stretch their incomes that have been flat for over ten years to cover the rising costs of everything. Some of them have gay relatives and more than a few have opted to terminate a pregnancy, planned or unplanned, yet they roll in the dirt with those who want to make these current scenarios even worse.
Gingrich has vowed to dog President Obama for the next year, Palin made a fortune doing it without offering up one single positive plan to improve the life of anyone but herself. Romney pats himself on the back for increasing corporate profits by dismantling jobs and spends the nights in his counting chamber.
Bachmann turned a weekend pass from the nuthouse into a full-out, full-time assault on sanity.
I hope all of them understand that if they finally succeed in taking the left down on behalf of their corporate puppetmasters, they'll be coming with us. We could all be living in a garden of Eden if we worked together but these folks obviously prefer hell because they think it will be warmer there.

Are you trying to mess with Trump's mind or something? Kansas may be a nice place but it's no HAWAII !!!
LOL
All that money Sarah has and Track's wedding is a BYOM party!
ReplyDeleteBring Your Own Meth party.
Sarah how's that lawsuit thingy against Joe McG doing or were you blowing smoke out of your ass again with empty threats?
ReplyDeleteHow come nobody points this out???? The 57 state thing was not a gaffe either. It may not be a common way to refer to the number of states, but it is factual. Of course the refuckingpublicans don't know this, but it seems most Americans don't know this either.
ReplyDeleteThe answer is the Federal Definition of "state" and here it is: "State means each of the several States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the Virgin Islands, the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands".
All of the extras plus the 50 states have voting power. All together they add up to 57! Now who are the idiots. This is where the 57 comes from, and don;t think for one minute that all our representatives know it. This is part of the list of definitions that are a standard part of all federal registers.
Source(s):
Look up any federal register under definitions for the the word "state".
To heck with Sarah. I was thinking of the current crop of Republican "debaters". They have been "practicing" on each other. Most of them can't get through without a major gaff of some sort. The content of the discussion is a race to the bottom. So now the frontrunners get to see what they are really up against! No contest. Only Newt could possibly think he could measure up to that, and he is excellent at self-delusion.
ReplyDeleteOff topic, but Gryphen, you might think this is interesting enough to post about at some point. According to Opensecrets.org, where you can look up individual donor information, Sarah Palin has not personally donated to a political candidate since 2004 (and oddly, listed herself as a housewife instead of Mayor). Neither have her husband or her parents. In fact, the only Palin who has most recently donated is Faye Palin - I believe that's Todd's stepmother - who donated to Lisa Murkowski in 2010.
ReplyDeleteEven when Sarah Palin was stumping for Joe Miller and other candidates, exhorting her followers to send her money so she could help candidates get elected, she personally did not make any political donations to candidates!
And SarahPAC just sent out another beg-a-thon letter the other day, again promising the money would go to electing candidates next year. Do as I say, not as I actually do, etc.
At that point, I got curious to see what other politicians don't donate, yet constantly barrage their supporters to donate to their PACs. So far, I've also checked out Jim DeMint...and no personal donations from him, either.
Hey, Sarah! Paying attention? Oftentimes, what goes around, comes around...even though it might take several years. Nervous?

This speech is one for the record books. Of course the one thing they pick on was an inside joke, and even if it wasn't, he caught himself right away. Shelly would take a day or two to get it, then another day to correct it. Sarah would never admit a mistake. "Statute of Liberty", anyone?
