Sarah Palin: Where Is Obama's 'Faith In American Exceptionalism?'

Sarah Palin blasted out another Facebook diatribe Friday, criticizing President Obama for lacking "faith in American exceptionalism" in his positions on foreign policy and the military.

"The truth is this: by his actions we see a president who seems to be much more comfortable with an American military that isn't quite so dominant and who feels the need to apologize for America when he travels overseas," Palin wrote. "Could it be a lack of faith in American exceptionalism? The fact is that America and our allies are safer when we are a dominant military superpower - whether President Obama likes it or not."

According to Palin, Obama's recent quote: "whether we like it or not, we remain a dominant military superpower," is proof that Obama is uncomfortable with America's military prowess, which Palin says "may be one of the greatest forces for good the world has ever seen, liberating countless millions from tyranny, slavery, and oppression over the last 234 years."

Liz Cheney's group, Keep America Safe, also jumped on this snippet of Obama's statement, criticizing the President for being "confused" about American dominance.

I'm pretty sure it was revealed someone else actually posts this stuff for her, someone on her staff who she probably pays poorly.

We're a shining city on a hill. But a shining city that needs lower wages, less medical insurance coverage, no social security, no welfare, no food stamps, no post office, no department of education, no department of energy....
