Sarah Palin...calls Obama "sugar daddy" on face book post..
The Sugar Daddy Has Run Out of Sugar; Now We Need New Leaders
by Sarah Palin on Saturday, July 9, 2011 at 3:22pm

Barack Obama’s big government policies continue to fail. He should put a link to the national debt clock on his BlackBerry. The gears on that clock have nearly exploded during his administration. Yesterday’s terrible job numbers should not be a surprise because it all goes back to our debt. Our dangerously unsustainable debt is wiping out our jobs, crippling our economic growth, and jeopardizing our position in the global economy as the leader of the free world.



As a governor, I had to deal with facts, even unpleasant ones. I dealt with the world as it is, not as I wished it to be. The “elite” political class in this country with their heads in the sand had better face some unpleasant facts about the world as it is. They’ve run out of money and no amount of accounting gimmicks or happy talk will change this reality. Those of us who live in the real world could see this day coming.

*snip*




As we approach 2012, there are important lessons we can learn from all of this. First, we should never entrust the White House to a far-left ideologue who has no appreciation or even understanding of the free market and limited government principles that made this country economically strong. Second, the office of the presidency is too important for on-the-job training. It requires a strong chief executive who has been entrusted with real authority in the past and has achieved a proven track record of positive measurable accomplishments. Leaders are expected to give good speeches, but leadership is so much more than oratory. Real leadership requires deeds even more than words. It means taking on the problems no one else wants to tackle. It means providing vision and guidance, inspiring people to action, bringing everyone to the table, and with a servant's heart dedicating oneself to striking agreements that keep faith with our Constitution and with the ordinary citizens who entrusted you with power. It means bucking the status quo, fighting the corrupt powers that be, serving the common good, and leaving the country better than you found it. Most of us don’t see a lot of that real leadership in D.C., and it’s profoundly disappointing.



But let me tell you where real hope lies. It’s not the hopey-changey stuff we heard about in 2008. Real hope comes from realizing how God has blessed our exceptional nation, and then doing something about it. We have been blessed with natural resources, hardworking entrepreneurs, and a Constitution that preserves the greatest form of government ever devised by man. If we develop those natural resources, allow our entrepreneurs to keep and invest more of what they earn, and adhere to the time-tested truths of our Constitution, we will prosper and endure.



But first and foremost we must tackle our debt. We don’t have the luxury of playing politics as usual. We need real leaders who will put aside their own political self-interest to do what is right for the nation. And if they don’t emerge… well, America has a do-over in November 2012.

2. I wonder who wrote that for her..........
sarah did such a fine job, she had that state running like a swiss watch, she was able to get all of it done so she could quit in a little over two years. She even had enough time to run for vice-president............

7. It seems like it's Rebecca Mansour.
Must have made up with Sarah after their rift.

4. didn't she leave her little town in massive debt
once she moved on to her next stepping stone of reality show stardom?
While it was being overrun with meth dealers....Wonder what the ratio per person the debt would work out to be.

5. From the Sarah Palin wikipedia entry:
Edited on Sat Jul-09-11 08:56 PM by PoliticAverse
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Palin :

During her second term as mayor, Palin proposed and promoted the construction of a municipal sports center to be financed by a 0.5%<45>
sales tax increase and $14.7 million bond issue.<63> Voters approved the measure by a 20 vote margin and the Wasilla Multi-Use Sports
Complex was built on time and under budget. However, the city spent an additional $1.3 million because of an eminent domain lawsuit
caused by the failure to obtain clear title to the property before beginning construction.<63> The city's long-term debt grew from about
$1 million to $25 million due to $15 million for the sports complex, $5.5 million for street projects, and $3 million for water improvement
projects. The Wall Street Journal characterized the project as a "financial mess."<63> A city council member defended the spending increases
as being caused by the city's growth during that time.<64>

orders to talk about how Obama is a great orator or communicator but.....


I've seen it a few times in the last few days. Perhaps instructions went out on Grover's fax tree? Good that we are warned about it now. They know they will not have a candidate who can beat Obama where speeches are concerned. So they will try and diminish Obama's gift.
