Palin Bashes ‘Cowardly’ Obama Distracting From Scandals, Shows Off ‘Redneck Version’ Of Rove Whiteboard
Sarah Palin joined Greta Van Susteren on Friday night to slam President Obama for the comment during his big economic speech that Washington’s too obsessed with “phony scandals.” Palin wanted to know exactly which scandals the president was referring to as “phony,” and held up a “redneck version” of Karl Rove‘s classic white boards to remind viewers of all the scandals currently plaguing Obama, from Benghazi to NSA snooping, asking in disbelief if he’s really dismissing all of them as “phony.”
Van Susteren noted how White House spokesman Jay Carney used the same word, calling it “obviously calculated.” Palin likened Obama to a basketball player “trying to run out the clock” by hogging the ball and throwing “distractions and diversions at the American people.” She called the president “cowardly,” and said the only people listening to him at this point are journalists who aren’t doing their jobs right.
She flashed back to the 2008 campaign, briefly conflating government whistleblowers trying to expose Obama administration abuses with people who were shouting about Reverend Wright five years ago. She told Van Susteren she was “banned” from talking about Wright and Bill Ayers because the Republican “elitists” running the campaign were too worried about the media backlash. She then held up what she described as a “redneck version of one of those elitist tactics of Karl Rove” using his white board to show all the scandals currently hurting Obama.
Van Susteren noted how people are actually able to see through what Obama’s saying by going online, while Palin touted how “Americans are smarter than what the lamestream media’s giving them credit for.” She said with “lapdogs” in the press not doing their jobs right, they’re leaving all the actual work of calling out Obama to the people instead.
