Fox Unleashes Crazy Lady Sarah Palin To Claim Obama’s Unfit For Office
By: Guest ContributorFeb. 15th, 2012more from Guest Contributor
You know things must be getting desperate for the GOP when Fox News hosts the rumored mentally ill like Sarah Palin to claim Obama is unfit to hold office.
Here is the video from Fox News:
Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.comTranscript for those who can’t handle watching Palin and Fox News:
GRETCHEN CARLSON: I mean I hate to bring it up but if the economy was worse than he expected wouldn’t you be proposing a budget that had more cuts in it?
SARAH PALIN: You would think so. 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. Everyone else to blame for the economic woes except for his failed policies that is another indication of his naïveté, and his un, un, he’s not fit to hold this office, because we need leadership that will be held accountable, that won’t shy away from taking responsibility for mistakes that they have made.
And President Obama has made many mistakes in allowing increased taxes, allowing government to grow, accumulating trillions and trillions of dollars more in debt. Though yes, as you point out he has promised to cut deficits in half.
As with any claims about a president’s mental competency, it is important to examine the source. There have long been stories about Sarah Palin’s mental issues from staffers at all levels of the 2008 McCain campaign. Nicolle Wallace has been the most vocal in stating her belief that Sarah Palin is mentally ill. After exploiting what they believed was her star power, the Republican Party has by and large kept Palin and her volatile behavior at arm’s length.
Despite all of this Fox News hired Palin and now feels compelled to do something with besides letting her rot away on Fox Business, so they got her wig and makeup on her and trudged her out to the propaganda mother ship, Fox and Friends for a bit of good ‘ol Real America Obama bashing.
Sarah Palin’s claim that Obama is unfit for office because he won’t own up to his mistakes was sidesplittingly funny coming from a woman who quit her job as governor because the net of investigations and ethics complaints was closing in or her.
The “mistakes” that Obama supposedly made that have rendered him unfit for office never actually happened. Palin claimed Obama raised taxes. The truth is that Obama has lowered taxes more than any president in American history. All taxes state, local, and federal are at their lowest levels since 1955. Do you who did raise taxes? Sarah Palin did while she was governor of Alaska.
Palin also claimed that President Obama has grown the size of government, but this also is not true. The truth is that Obama has reduced the size of the federal government, and has 273,000 fewer federal employees than Reagan did.
Sarah Palin also claimed that Obama’s policies have added trillions to the deficit, but this is also not true. According to The Washington Post, Obama’s policies will cost $983 billion by 2017. This means that Obama’s policies will cost about $134 billion a year, compared to George W. Bush who added $5.1 trillion to the deficit in eight years. Do you know who did add mountains of debt? When Palin quit on Alaska, she left the state with the highest debt to GDP ratio in the country. Under Palin, Alaska’s debt equaled 70% of its GDP.
Not only is Barack Obama more than fit for the presidency, but Sarah Palin’s mental state and obvious delusions make her unfit to even pretend to play a politician on Fox News.
If the ravings of a crazed former reality TV star are part of the big plan to bring President Obama down, the GOP is in a whole lot of trouble.

Palin (R) Facebook would be the icing on the GOP cake of self-destruction. She’s accepting donations. If the angry Republican base wants a Tonya Harding-esque brokered WWF convention war; Palin (R) Facebook is accepting donations. Ailes thinks she’s “hot”, she can see the moon from her bus, and she’s accepting PAC donations. Go with it, Republicans, give the unfit hockey punk the golden skates. Don’t break a lace, (R) Facebook Palin. :)

I wonder what is up with Sarah Palin being all over the place again. Huffington Post had 4 articles of her recently. Fox News kept her pretty much away for a while but now she is there constantly on most of their different shows. I have not watched any of them since I cannot stand her but she is being advertised all over.
Is Fox having a second agenda with this, or what?

Fox is being practical; they are looking at their audience share and “the crazy formula” brings #’s…or at least it used to. I’m predicting that Glennda Beck will re-emerge soon as a token, their other favorite “mean girl”.
Funny, no one is paying attention to that man behind the emerald curtain…it must be true that it is hard to hate so many, so much, all the time.

Don’t forget this:
www.akip.org/conv08.html
In 2008 Palin addressed the domestic terrorist org Alaska Independence Party and when called on it…wanted Steve Schmidt to LIE. Steve said no, it was true and we will not lie about it, although when CNN (who was the only network to post a expose)McCain-Palin threatened to sue CNN.
This is the woman who QUIT! Who was almost impeached if she hadn’t been “Tapped”
And she has the nerve to call our POTUS “UN-American”? She who has recently hooked up With BRIETFART?????
I wish the leaks would start coming about her. All her indiscretions, fake pregnancy ALL OF IT!

Palin talking about taking responsibility? Good grief. The GOP hated it when people blamed the wars on Herr Bush, and they don’t admit he existed when Obama tells us how we got where we are.

She also left Wasilla in debt to the tune of 20 million dollars.

Back in 2009/2010, guessing Palin’s mental health diagnosis was on the level of a party game for psych students. To get insight into Palin’s behaviours, read, “The Sociopath Next Door: The Ruthless Versus the Rest of Us,” by Marth Stoudt, Ph.D., Crown Publishing, 2005.

I apologize. Name of author of “The Sociopath Next Door” should read Martha Stoudt, Ph.D.

I think they are breaking Palin out wayyyyyy too early. Her shelf life is about two months. You see, once she gets a taste of the limelight she’s gonna go all rogue again. Shell be a team player for a while, but soon, her desire to be center of attention will rear its head and shell be back on the train to Wackoville! If they really want Palin to be effective, she needs to be unleashed in and around late September. Just enough time for her to rally the troops but not long enough for her to start grating on their nerves.

It’s not going to work this time, Missy Palin.
Go back to your igloo.

LMAO @ the “Federal Gov has shrunk because of the EE count….” Are you kidding me? The Fed Gov has grown to it largest size yet, and that size is based on far more things than just an EE count. It needs to also be based on things such as policy and entitlements. Also, Obama has in-fact increased debt in America. These numbers here are blatantly deceitful. I am all for pikcing a side, or staying neutral, but at least do your research at an unbiased source. PS, Sarah Palin is a friggin’ moron. No one, even the right-wingers, takes her seriously.

Didn’t work last time either. She’s now getting revved up (in her mind) to waltz into the RNC Convention to the brokered convention she’s pushing for, and her adoring public will cheer & shout & demand she’s the NOMINEE. All without having to go through debates, town halls, caucuses, or any scrutiny.
Nice dreams Sarah, but that scenario is only something that will happen in your wildly delusional, schizophrenic mind. Reality has far different plans for you.

That’s typical fox screws..just another day of brainwashing for the millions of suckers who are too lazy to think for themselves. They’ve all sold their souls to the cult of greed..I don’t care how much they tout religion/scientology. They’ve doomed themselves.
