Sarah Palin: Starting A War Is Pres. Obama’s Best Chance For Re-election

In what has already proved to be a Sarah Palin-heavy weekend, the constant candidate continued to keep her media star shining bright with an appearance with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday. “How hard do you think President Obama will be to defeat in 2012?” she was asked. Palin doesn’t like his chances — unless he “plays the war card,” that is.

“I got this from Buchanan, reading one of his columns the other day,” Palin explained. “Say he decided to declare war on Iran or decided to really come out and do whatever he could to support Israel — which I would like him to do, but that changes the dynamics in what we can assume is going to happen.” Wallace responded a bit incredulously, asking Palin if she was suggesting that Obama would “cynically play the war card,” to which she backpedaled a bit: “I’m not suggesting that, I’m saying if he did, things would dramatically change.”

“If he decided to toughen up and do all that he can to secure our nation and our allies, I think people would perhaps shift their thinking a little bit and decide, well, maybe he’s tougher than he is today,” she said. If we don’t rally around the flag, she said, then he’s “not going to win.”

Palin continues, speaking of the Tea Party movement as an example of the people straining to be heard. “It’s not a well-oiled, beautiful machine,” she explains, “it is the people saying please hear us.” Here’s the clip:

Joe, ya think that headline might be just a tad “TMZ’ish”? Considering of course that’s not remotely close to what she said, that’s quite a paraphrase.

I propose this headline, “Will Barry grow stones?”

Now even I will say, She’s dead wrong on this one. He starts a war he’s done.

People are going to flat out sick of this ‘World Cop’ deal by the time 2012 comes around. So if Palin wants to run the foreign policy like Bush & Obama have go ahead. At your own risk.

im a dem, but I gotta ask, are these headlines and columns written by rewfugees from the dailykos/

SHE DID NOT say that Obama had to START a war – she said play the war card.

Since we already have two big wars going onm – and one that now belongs completely to Obama – ge doesnt need a new war – when hes got product already on his shelf. (and an obvious willingness and ability to play tough guy with others lives himself)

Why would Obama emulate Bush and play the War Card? What Airhead Sarah really fears is that Obama will prove to be something the Republicans and Bush were not — successful in pursuing Al Qaeda.

Hahahah refugees from the Daily Kos hahah. One would think.

Buffalo Bill, if Sarah is an airhead is it fair to state Barry is Presidentially Challenged??? Or is that NOT PC???

Is Barry Presidentially Challenged? Compared to who – George W. Bush? I thnk that speaks for itself. Perhaps George HW Bush who screwed the pooch in his administration. Maybe we could talk about the myth that is Reagan.

If you make a comparison, Loo, then I think there are others far ahead in PC and Obama is quite comfortable and suited for the Oval Office. Airhead Sarah is not. George W. Bush wasn’t and it shows.

Buffalo Bill- What sends the BIGGER tingle up your leg, degrading women like Sarah Palin OR hearing the magical euphoric sound of a Presidentially Challenged Barry speech??? My hunch is the former, but figured I’d inquire.

I don’t know what you might be hunching, Loo, but Airhead Sarah’s gender is not a factor. Pay attention, now — it’s that she’s a AIRHEAD. Now, you tell me — I responded to your earlier post, why do you run away from facts? I believe you’re FACT challenged — a congenital Tea Party Republican condition.

I don’t agree – UNLESS – he is ‘able’ to declare MARTIAL LAW!
