Palin on Fox and Friends: President Obama "Not fit to hold this office." Hey, at least he didn't quit halfway through!

Part one of this little gabfest is pretty much the same old anti-Obama rhetoric that Palin has been spewing in interview after interview. Except where she foolishly makes the claim that "There is access to preventative care and contraception out there, and we don't need government to tell our employers that they must provide that for us." 

(Says the woman with a house full of children born out of wedlock, and possibly yet another pregnant teen.)

Palin is also stunned when confronted with tape of Mitt Romney responding to her claims that he is not "conservative enough." Caught unaware she kind of walks it back and blames her statement on the"70% of GOP and independent voter" not being convinced that he is the best candidate.

When pressed about her own feelings concerning Romney's conservatism she decides to go passive aggressive and responds with "A lot of this has to do with somebody's past, ya know were they pro-abortion in the past and now perhaps they're pro-life? What allowed that, that switch..kinda that flip flop. How have their positions evolved over the years? Were they pro-big government, pro-increase of taxes back then? And where are they now?"

Of course Palin knows full well where Romney stands on those issues today, he is currently twisting himself into the kind of conservative pretzel that the Right Wing will support in the general election. But the Grizzled Mama simply refuses to accept that the eventual candidate will be Romney and that her candidate, the Newt, is out of the running.

Now she has been demoted to just a "Fox News Contributor." Click collagen to play video.

However it is in part two where Palin doubles down on her blatant lies and attacks on President Obama. After hearing the President, quite rightly explain that "everybody" had it wrong in estimating that how badly the economy was damaged by Bush before he took office, Palin goes on the attack with this:

"What he does is defy common sense. And also did you catch what he was saying in there? He is now blaming the estimators, the statisticians, the economists. Every one else is to blame for the economic woes except for his 'felled' policies. That is another indication of his naivete and his un..un..he's not fit to hold this office."

Palin goes on to attack the President's plan to reduce our nuclear arsenal (Which by the way is simply an expansion of Ronald Reagan's START treaty), in recognition that those systems are outdated and expensive, and do NOT increase our security. (If in fact they ever did.)

She is still clearly stuck in a Cold War mindset, and seems to believe that if we have one less missile than China or Russia attacks then on our shores are only hours away. Apparently she is unaware that her idol, Ronald Reagan, had planned all along for America to dramatically reduce our nuclear capabilities.

In this case Obama is far more like Reagan than Palin could ever allow herself to be in this current political climate.

By the way as many of you reminded me, Palin was also on with Greta last night, sporting her "Lego hair."

There was not too much about this interview that was new either, but Palin did explain her Facebook shout out to Allan Dershowitz in this way:

"I'm appreciative of Allan Dershowitz being very bold, and um non-partisan with quite a few of the positions that he has taken. You know he defended me. stuck his neck out when he didn't have to on the whole Gabby Giffords shooting issue, where I, and um a lot of other conservatives were being blamed for that." 

Wow! Does she REALLY want to remind Americans of how she handled herself during that terrible episode? Somehow I doubt it.

By the way my working theory for why Palin flew to do the CPAC convention and is now suddenly SO accessible Fox News hosts, is that she is trying to schmooze Roger Ailes into giving her a more permanent job.  Her reality show opportunities have run out, her chances of getting another book deal look less than promising, and her PAC is only a shadow of its former money laundering glory.

Simply put, she is out of options.

She might actually be forced to work for a living! Oh the horror!
