As as been reported, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs mocked Sarah Palin’s much publicized use of notes written on her hands at the daily White House press briefing yesterday.
Right in the middle of answering a question about whether Republicans were serious about helping Obama pass legislation on jobs and health care, Gibbs suddenly held up one of his hands and showed a list of things scrawled onto the palm. He pointed to a list of things for his son that included an inane breakfast choice, but the secretary said he'd written down some other reminders for himself as well.
“I wrote down ‘hope’ and ‘change’ just in case I forgot that,” Gibbs quipped
This bit of juvenile comedy was in retaliation to Sarah Palin making fun of Obama’s use of Teleprompters during her Tea Party Conference speech. While speaking, footage showed Sarah glancing down occasionally as if checking notes. Apparently not at all worried about revealing where she writes her talking points, at one point in her speech, Mrs. Palin held up her hand-palm out-revealing the words "Energy," "Tax," and "Lift American Spirits."
Incredibly thin skin of the Obama Administration
Yet again we are witness to the incredibly thin skin of the Obama Administration. Only one completely out of touch could be unaware of Obama’s total lack of communication skills if left without a word-for-word script in front of him. During the presidential campaign he tripped over his tongue more times than not if asked an unscripted question. It got to the point where I thought, “Uh…bu…uh…bu…” was some sort of code phrase for the slavish media types that followed him.
Of course the mushy-brained progressives and socialists will jump onto Gibbs bit of theatre with glee, pointing at the screen and howling with smug laughter. They will claim that the far more intelligent Gibbs and Obama team have once again proven that they are better able to lead the country to the Promised Land. What they will have done is yet again prove that they are horribly and tragically wrong.
Liberals have no shame, only agendas
Going as far back as the campaigns of Washington, Adams, and Jefferson, politicians have spoken using a list of talking points to keep them on track. This is nothing new. Lincoln’s address at Gettysburg was written out entirely and then read by the President during the ceremony. Are we going to see some snide liberal putting on a top hat and mocking Honest Abe? Seriously, if he were here today I would not be surprised to see it happen. Liberals have no shame, only agendas.
A lot of mocking goes on concerning Sarah Palin’s mode of speech. She has a tendency to drop the ‘g’ at the end of some words. Frankly, I would rather listen to that than the backwoods redneck drawl of good ol’ boy Clinton. (Sorry, cheap shot), but, there is a lot more substance in Sarah’s chopped off words than in Obama’s sanitized script. I have to wonder if he used a teleprompter on his wedding day, or was the best man holding up cue cards?
Nobel committee gave him a worthless prize, again for zero accomplishment
As I’ve written before, when it comes to accomplishment, Sarah Palin has no competition where Barack Hussein Obama is concerned. If you really think about it, since his election he has not really done a single thing except put us further into debt. The Nobel committee gave him a worthless prize, again for zero accomplishment. The committee’s own notes reveal the award was for intention, not accomplishment.
Sarah Palin is not running for office, nor is she in office, so why the ongoing attacks from the mushy-brain set? I have to say that it is for her record of accomplishment. The left always attack the successful, and if that success is attributed to help from above…? Hoo boy! I have to wonder why people who have to know they are not going to live forever spend so much time angering the one who will decide where they will spend eternity. That is not a sign of intelligence in anyone’s book.
Sarah Palin is coming to my neck of the woods. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to shake both her and her husband’s hands. Obama is also coming here; to stump for Harry Reid, while Palin will be stumping for Reid’s opponents. Obama’s record is 0-4. Palin’s record is somewhat different, 4-0. Who would you rather have in your corner?
