Is This the End of Sarah Palin As We Know Her?
If that disease ever infects U.S. politics again, we have a cure.
I would love to make a wager on this with you! Want to put your money where your mouth is? Please? I'll even give you odds if you prefer. Or are you merely beating your gums as usual?
100 bucks on your original prediction! Don't waffle on me now!
Cool! Let me know when LaLO and Jim sends their money. I will give you mine in person!
The original bet concerns Palin and LaLo's mouthing off. Wanta bet on her original prediction? LaLo talks the talk, but she don't walk the walk. Of course, we already knew that!
Since when did not showing "experience, intellect, character or temperament" stop the last Right US president, George W Bush.
Awww isn't she adowable...
It sure didn't stop Obama! LOL
Her supporters have stated that SP will be studying hard to be better prepared for the 2012 debates that she was in 2008. She better get started.
LOL
Oh wait...you're serious. Maybe someone really should send her the book.
...well, since a few of ya are posting pics....i like this one....
You're on too! Good luck collecting if you win!
$300! I can't go a whole week without beer!
Oh yes. Obama is ruining our capitalist economy!
Obama hasn't created any jobs, either!
Pssst.....your Eliteness! Conservatives don't understand graphs! Draw them something with a crayon.
That's how we know you are scamming us over! DOH!
Yes, it is definitely true that gas prices are up under Obama. Could it possibly be that
a) Obama's family does not have tight relationships with OPEC oil barons?
b) Obama's political agenda is to wean Americans OFF their dependence on gasoline in favor of non-fossil fuels? What would be the BEST way to do that?? Hint: the answer is in the pocketbook
Doh! I forgot! Facts and figures are completely useless!
Current views (via poll) of Obama vs. Palin and GOP.
Source: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/co … 1011702561
In contrast to glowing reviews for the president, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin (R) draws more negative than positive evaluations of the way she has handled the tragedy. About 30 percent give her positive marks, while nearly half - 46 percent - disapprove of her actions. About a quarter in the poll expressed no opinion. Fewer than half of all Republicans approve of Palin's handling of the matter, with positive marks rising to just 56 percent among conservative Republicans.
Palin was criticized after the shootings for having published a map during the 2010 midterm campaign that included cross hairs on congressional districts of 20 Democrats she hoped to see defeated, including Giffords.
A Palin adviser said after the shootings that the marks were surveyor's symbols, not cross hairs. Palin then released a video statement in which she said that people who were suggesting that her actions or the political discourse in general had brought about the massacre were guilty of "blood libel," a phrase that refers to accusations in the past that Jews had used the blood of non-Jews in their religious rituals.
Rising from new lows
The rise in Obama's overall approval number comes after an autumn in which his ratings hit new lows and his party suffered major electoral defeats. Also up is the public's assessment of the president's empathy. By a wide margin, 58 percent to 40 percent, Americans say he understands the problems of people like themselves. That is his best rating on this score in more than a year, significantly better for him than the split verdict he received last fall and summer. In September, 57 percent of whites said Obama did not understand their issues; now, a slim 52 percent majority of whites say he does get it.
Although the president's improved ratings could signal the beginning of a post-election comeback in his political fortunes, other findings from the new poll suggest that the durability of the improvement is highly dependent on how the coming fights with congressional Republicans play out.

Obama's overall approval rating may be back in positive territory, but views of how he has dealt with major domestic issues still tilt negative. Slim majorities disapprove of how he is handling the economy, health-care reform and the budget deficit. Fifty percent approve of his handling of taxes.
About 44 percent of Americans say the country should go in the direction Obama wants to lead it, while 35 percent would prefer to track with the Republicans in Congress.
On health-care reform, taxes and the burgeoning federal budget deficit, the public is about as apt to trust the GOP as it is to have confidence in the president.
(So much for the public's "mandate" of change in the midterm elections. Already they trust factor is waning!)
Obama does have the upper hand - though narrowly - on the economy and terrorism. He has double-digit advantages over the GOP when it comes to helping the middle class and dealing with the war in Afghanistan.Ok, this graph should be clearer and shows source of info.
$100 it doesn't happen while Obama's in office! You know which bookie to send the bet money to!
