Sarah Palin: Obama Has Money And ’90% Of The Media In His Back Pocket’

Video
» 202 comments

Former governor Sarah Palin, fresh off announcing that she won’t be seeking the GOP presidential nomination for 2012, made an appearance on Greta Van Susteren‘s On The Record to discuss the current field.

She shares that she decided to make an unequivocal announcement after seeing the media’s back-and-forth speculation concerning New Jersey Governor Chris Christie‘s plans to run (or, as it turns out, his lack thereof). She adds that she didn’t want to hold a press conference or “make a big darn deal about it,” because “this isn’t about me,” nor is it about any one candidate. It is, rather, “about Americans who are understanding they’ve got to get the right people in these positions of leadership of our country to get us back on track.”

“How do you determine who is the best leader for your party?” Van Susteren wanted to know.

“There is no one, perfect candidate,” Palin answered. “And I want people to keep that in mind and not be extremely disappointed in a politician. A politician is gonna let you down, is gonna make decisions that you don’t entirely agree with and you can’t just lose hope in what that politician’s ideas reflect and represent.”

She shared that her husband, Todd, has been handling calls, including some from politicians, and setting up meetings. Palin proceeded to pitch Van Susteren an interview with… Todd.

Later on in the interview, Palin shared her thoughts on President Obama’s “strengths and weaknesses:”

Weakness is his track record. It’s been a record of failure. He’s got a couple of successes there thanks to our Navy SEALs. I would say overall he has failed, especially with economic issues, he not understanding that it is the private sector that creates jobs; it’s not gonna be government.

And his strength? “He’s gonna have a billion dollars up against the Republican candidates and he’s going to have about 90 percent of the media still there in his back pocket.”

    Sarah who?

  • azgrandma

    Oh great – and the bullcrap artist goes on and on.  It’s not about her??

  • Oh yes he did!

    Those $100 DVD’s of  “The Undefeated” will make useful coasters.

    Palin is spot on about the media being in Obama’s back pocket. She knows firsthand, though, considering how the media treated her in 2008. 

  • Darladoon

    and yet palin has neither money nor the media

    lol

  • azgrandma

    maybe she can turn them into shoulder pads

  • News Of The World

    Bwahahahaha!  Even though she’s “announced” she’s not running, she’s still whining about the media.  Such a victim.  LMAO!  Implode much, Sarah?

  • Anonymous

    On another blog a poster said he likes Palin right where she is doing what she is doing. He is right, she will do more damage to the enemies of America outside the office of President. Just like she said “don’t need the tittle to do the work”.

  • Goonah

    Shame on the media for asking her questions. I mean, who doesn’t get offended by “what newspapers do you read?”.  The nerve of some people,,,,

  • News Of The World

    Aren’t you embarrassed to type out those words on your keyboard?  LOL…. “what newspapers and magazines do you regularly read?”.  That’s a pretty tough question, I guess… if you don’t read any.  Which she clearly didn’t and still doesn’t.

  • TbagsRstupid

    So Sarah has a drone ready to kill terrorists?

  • Anonymous

    Of course you go back to that infamous gotchya question instead of debate the merit of my comment. I guess that’s because you realize the media treated Palin horribly in 2008 and treated Obama like King. The media will continue to treat Obama like King which is why the 2012 election is going to be historic and pivotal regarding the direction of our country – since the media sure won’t tell us the truth.

    But sure, harp on something that happened 3 years ago. It won’t change Obama’s fate.

    In 2012 Obama and the left is running on: The GOP is racist, hateful, and won’t let me do what I want. I don’t have to take responsibility for the state of affairs because it’s them and Bush’s fault

    And Americans will see right through that.

    This from the loon that said “run sarah run” under countless names. Pathetic.

    Actually, more loons on the left urged her to run than people on the right. Feel stupid? You should.

    Because of this, the ‘Undefeated” does not want to be ‘The Defeated”. The truth is Sarah Palin is now very much “The Defeated”.

    I imagine there are many Sarah Palin supporters tonight who are currently sitting on a stool in a small dark utility room drinking large quanities of Whiskey, smoking cigarettes, and looking at their shotguns mounted on the walls.

    Don’t do anything stupid, Sarah Palin fanboys and fangirls!

    I imagine her “Undefeated” DVD will be a dollar and 99 cents soon in discount bins across America. Despite this low price, they will only accumulate dust.

    And for her final grand extravaganza, on Oct 5, 2011, she says she is not running, at least not without taking all that PAC money and a few million in speaking fees with her, and now she didn’t even have to lose that big Fox contributing wherever she is money either.

    When CBS silences its own reporter and then sites like mediaite IGNORE that CBS has silenced it’s own reporter, then you know the world of journalism is dead, deceased, undermined by it’s own bias and inability to inform the public.  The job of mediaite and the rest of the mainstream media is to now protect and defend Obama, not protect and defend the people from the government, but to protect and defend their cult leader.

    It is a disgrace.

    We have a “mainstream” advocacy media in America today.
    They work to misrepresent facts in order to promote the Democratic Party agenda.

    If Romney is the GOP candidate, the “media” will do to him exactly what they did to McCain. They’ll have Romney and his people believe that they will treat him fairly, UNTIL he’s the actual nominee, then they’ll start the smear campaign (remember the completely bogus NYT story about McCain having an affair?). With Romney, it will be that he’s a racist because he’s Mormon, that Mormonism is a scary “cult,” that he’s one of those “millionaires and billionaires” who is destroying the country, etc. And, that’s just a beginning, isn’t it, Tommy?

    The media has already smeared Rick Perry, Michelle Bachmann and Newt Gingrich, was gearing up for Chris Christie, hasn’t figured out yet how to paint Hermann Cain as “racist” and make it stick. 

    It’s time for Republicans to take the Chris Christie approach and start calling out the media. With the thuggish and intimidating behavior of this White House, any reporter worth their salt knows that his or her boss will receive a threatening phone call, if tough questions are asked of this administration. However, it almost takes training as a trial lawyer to instantly thwart the “when did you stop beating your wife” questions.

    I am always amazed that the media hasn’t connected the drop-off in readership/viewership that they’ve suffered with the increasing bias that they’ve shown. Their “Occupy Wall Street” constituency doesn’t PAY for anything (they believe in spending all day at Starbucks for FREE internet and collecting unemployment) and reading a newspaper is beyond their level of critical reading/thinking, so the media is encouraging the very people who don’t support their business model. Fortunately, when the newspapers die completely, no one will miss them, and most of the talking heads at the television networks have made enough money that they won’t care when their network news shows go down the tubes.

    Actually, in case you’ve forgotten, the media coverage of Palin when she was first announced as the VP choice was quite positive….her selection was being called “brilliant” by some media outlets at the time. The reviews of her speech at the convention were glowing.

    …but then she started doing unscripted interviews and opening her mouth.

    Palin dug her own hole with her nonsensical answers to questions about topics she knew (and still knows) nothing about.  Her constant whining about the media’s perceived bias against her only compounded her problems.  Frankly, the media never really seems to call her on her own stupidity.  I’d love to see her in a situation where she doesn’t have somebody writing her answers out for her and she’s forced to rely upon herself to answer serious questions.  It will never happen.  She’s an idiot.  It’s a shame that the right constantly hold up these empty suits as leaders and eschew the reasonable (if there are any left) candidates and currently serving politicians.

You have the right to say what you think, just wish you would think before you spew GD out and denigrate a hard working, earnest, honest family who happens to be conservative, who loves this country and wants to keep it strong, free, giving us all the opportunities no other country in this world has.

    Then he quit speaking on his own and started to rely on teleprompters loaded with somebody else’s words, because he knew fully well that on his own he would stumble and stutter more than Forrest Gump.

    Then he quit his integrity and honesty by blaming everything on George W. Bush.

    Then he quit even that, because his advisors told him to quit that.

    Then he quit even on his own blind and brainwashed supporters by telling them to stop whining and stop waring their bedroom slippers.

    public service, and no capacity to serve even if she had wished to do
    so. Soon even those last cultists will quietly abandon the argument. We
    talk often these days about makers and takers. Sarah Palin was the
    ultimate taker. She abandoned her post as governor of Alaska to cash in
    on lectures and TV. She squeezed her supporters for political donations
    and spent the money on herself. To adapt an old phrase, she seen her
    opportunities and she took ‘em.
    In the end, she exploited, abused, or embarrassed almost everyone who
    had believed in her. Most embarrassing of all: she was never even a
    very good con artist. Everything that was false and petty and
    unqualified in her was visible within the first minutes of encountering
    her. The people she fooled were people who passionately wished to be
    fooled. To that extent, what was important in her story was not the
    faults and failings of Sarah Palin. There have always been grifters in
    politics. What was important in her story was the revelation of
    conservatism’s lack of antibodies against somebody with the faults and
    failings of Sarah Palin. That’s the story that should trouble us still.

    Lord knows Palin is right about the media being in the president’s back pocket, but what else is new.

    The fact is that is NOT ready and if she ever wants to be ready she needs to spend the next four years doing something other than making speeches.

    Palin was chosen by one of the two political parties to be the the Vice President of the United States of America. That horrendous and dangerous decision needs to be derided, scorned, attacked, talked about and debated as often as possible if, for no other reason, to reduce the chances of something like that ever happening again. Let there be a penalty, a cost, for such a superficial, vacuous and cynical decision. But I can understand why conservatives, especially those that supported Palin when she was running, would wish that she would just go away and never be spoken of again because it highlights their gross judgmental error in supporting her in the first place.

    What happens to the money in SarahPAC?  The law for unconnected PACs are different than those for candidates. SarahPAC paid for her summer One Nation Bus Tour / family vacation, her description not mine, which is perfectly legal. The last call for SarahPAC funding came with a plea to help her make a decision whether or not to run and that decision has been made.
    Do you think the remaining funds should go to candidates she supports?

    Yeah, Jack -o — keep dreaming. Difference is Nature Freak is talking FACT, you’re just dreaming the GOP dream. Unfortunately for you the country will wake up and realize that the GOP really stands for “Greed over People,” or, as I prefer “Grover over People,” which frankly should scare the crap out of any real American. Any elected representative who takes an oath to a PRIVATE person that impedes his/her obligations should be tried for treason. Or, YJ – how about the fact that GOP is funded by traitors to America – yep the Koch Brothers — selling goods to Iran, then taking that money and giving it to the GOP. Wonder how those scoundrels will look in prison stripes.  We shall soon see!

  • http://twitter.com/runforfun54 Ilene K

    This so funny-= Palin whining about a President having money in the coffers, money he did not raise under false pretenses. Is Sarah going to return those funds?? Didn’t think so. Is she going to return any of the money that the Treasonous Koch brothers gave to her? Nah, didn’t think so either. Always the victim.  

  • Tex45

    There needs to be an investigation now by the IRS and DOJ as to how much of the SarahPAC money she fleeced from the rubes went into her own bank account.

    Don’t worry Sarah about Obama’s money. Karl Rove’s CrossroadsGPS SuperPac is expected to raise $500 million dollars for the 2012 elections. The Koch Brothers have $44 billion warchest and will be running Anti-Obama ads 24/7. Big oil will be on your side as will Wall Street. Do you think that Michele Bachmann raised $14 million for her re-election campaign last year from her district supporters. There will be plenty of secret money going to both sides. All the polticians will be bought by special interests ahead of the 2012 elections. There is no such thing as We the People anymore. Save your bull for those who are naive enough to buy it. I’m not a liberal. but you’ll have 650 conservative talk shows to campaign against Obama. So once again you’re trying to play the poor victim. I said before you never had the intention to run, but if you did, you would have been supported by all kinds of secret money. Remember your comment aimed at Perry for “Crony Capitalism”. Had you ran, you would have been part of it.

    I posted a few weeks ago that Mrs. Palin wouldn’t run for President because she doesn’t like to work that hard, she’s secretly afraid she couldn’t handle it, she can’t make enough money there like she can on the outside and she isn’t sure she could win. But mainly because she doesn’t want to work that hard and it’s not enough money.

    The begging to run for president wasn’t about her, that’s for sure. Christie made the right decision to make a big deal of saying, once again, “No.”

    But the only folks who want Palin to run for president are candidates so far to the right of lunacy that they want her endorsement… and her fans, some of whom still who think she’s sent from God to fix all that ails the earth.

    All she does is criticize and insult. I’m sick to death of her tossing rocks at the people actually doing something while she sits in Alaska and lies for a living.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Theresa-Darklady-Reed/581698361 Theresa ‘Darklady’ Reed

    Oh, please. Crocodile tears. Palin owes everything to the media. Without it, she’d still be hating her job as governor of Alaska instead of cruising around the country on other people’s money pretending to be a serious political thinker.
