Liberals Should Think Long And Hard Before Attacking Sarah Palin’s New Book



You know, it’s not like anyone didn’t see this deal coming. The liberals’ heads are exploding over Sarah Palin’s hot number one selling book: "Going Rogue, An American Life."

Sales of this book have been called unprecedented. HarperCollins, the publisher ordered 1.5 million books for it’s first printing. Within hours of being available for pre-order, the book was number one in sales over at Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.

Think about that, the book is still in final editing, won’t be available for a month and a half, and didn’t even have a finalized dust jacket at the time! By any measure one can think of, Sarah’s book is an unprecedented, incredible success.

Of course, like clockwork, liberal hatemongers, and GOP elites dragged out their same tired old ploys. Same tired Saul Alinsky style attacks that used to work before EVERYONE started reading that obscure, anti-American, liberal/communist "bible."

But my favorite is "she didn’t write it." The liberals and GOP elites use this same stupidity every time she writes an effective Op-Ed or Facebook post. It’s actually a pretty good complement if you look at it. Her writing is just that effective! It scares them so much, they have to make something up to explain it away to the uneducated and uninformed.

Supporters of Palin don’t even get mad at that silliness anymore, instead we laugh at the liberals and GOPers for being THAT stupid, and THAT petty.

Now what really has the liberals, communists (same thing really) and GOP elites chattering is the fact that Sarah used a COLLABORATOR to help her with her book. Oh the horror!

Truth is, pretty much everyone who isn’t a full time author, and many who are, work with someone to help them put their books together. Even the very best of writers have editors to deal with. It’s a simple fact of the publishing business.

Look at any book by a business leader or other popular figure, they are all written "with" someone. I’ve read dozens of great business books by top leaders like Lee Iaccoca, Jim McKay, and Bob Lutz, all were written "with" someone.

Then we get into the "ghostwritten" ones. Most politicians and celebrities go this route. Someone writes their books, for a fee. Some use notes from the person the book is about, some just make it up as they go. But "ghostwriting" is pretty common, in the business.

Here’s just a couple of very famous "ghostwritten" books. (There will be a third and fourth we’ll talk about in a few minutes!)

First we have the best selling "Profiles In Courage" the bio of President John F Kennedy. Although he is listed as author, we now know the book was written by his speech writer, Ted Sorenson. Sorenson was one of the Ford "whiz kids" who followed McNamara over to the White House.

Hillary Clinton didn’t write he big policy book "It Takes A Village." Barbara Feinman did for a fee of $120,000.


"Ghostwriting," however, is very different than having a collaborator. A collaborator means just what it sounds like. You have someone to help you structure it. To put it together. Again, even profession writers will have some help.

For this job, Sarah chose the very capable Lynn Vincent. A solid writer who shares a lot of Sarah’s philosophy.

Something else, unlike many, especially politicians and celebrities, Sarah and her publisher were up front about this deal. Everyone knew from day one who Sarah chose for this project.

Here’s the thing, and this also explains how this book came together so fast. As we all remember, when announced, the book wasn’t supposed to be out until the Spring of 2010. The book was done so far ahead of schedule because, for all practical purposes, Sarah has literally been writing it all of her life!

You see, Sarah is one of "those" people who have kept a daily journal for most of her life. Back in earlier days, many folks did this. It was a habit they got into at an early age, and stuck with. President Ronald Reagan was also someone who kept journals. Sarah is simply following that old tradition.

At any rate, Sarah’s book is based on these journals. I understand she kept these journals during the 2008 campaign. That will make for some interesting reading, for sure. It also explains why Steve Schmidt (the Bob Shrum of the GOP) and Nicole Wallace, the two McCain campaign turncoats are running for cover!

So you ask, what does this have to do with the liberals and communists? (Again, pretty much same thing these days) And why should they "think long and hard" before talking their usual nonsense about Sarah’s book?

Well, one of the things that was whispered during the 2008 campaign, but not covered by the fringe, Obama media was the fact that Barack Obama didn’t write his big "literary masterpiece" that has been heralded by the left as the greatest piece of writing eveh!

Of course, that is nonsense on many, many levels.

Now the fact that Obama didn’t write his book is a minor thing, at best, a "who cares" kinda thing. Maybe a "he lied!" kinda moment, but my God, we already have hundreds, if not thousands of those "he lied" moments from Obama, so this will just get lost in that sea of lies!

Except for this:

The real problem for liberals and communists (yeah, I know) is WHO wrote the book. And all of the other Obama lies this knowledge unravels.




Jack Cashill was the first to pick up on this deal. After reading Obama’s "Dreams From My Father" he happened to pick up a copy of terrorist William Ayers’ book "Fugitive Days." In Cashill’s own words:



"My involvement in this occasionally harrowing literary adventure began in July 2008, entirely innocently. A friend sent me some short excerpts from Dreams and asked if they were as radical as they sounded. I bought the book, located the excerpts, and reported back that, in context, the excerpts were not particularly troubling.

But I did notice something else. The book was much too well written. I had seen enough of Obama's interviews to know that he did not speak with anywhere near the verbal sophistication on display in Dreams.

About six weeks later, for entirely unrelated reasons, I picked up a copy of Bill Ayers 2001 memoir, "Fugitive Days." Ayers, I discovered, writes very well and very much like "Obama."



That’s right, Cashill is talking about unrepentant murdering domestic terrorist, William Ayers, co-founder of the ultra-violent Weather Underground, a violent group that spent several years going around the country blowing stuff up and trying to overthrow the government. They actually declared war on the United States. Ayers set bombs in the Pentagon, the US Capitol Building, and NY City Police Headquarters, just to name a few.

Cashill has a whole collection of articles on this that you really must read, here.

Even better, not only did terrorist William Ayers help his buddy Barack Obama out, Obama returned the favor by offering up a review for one of Ayers many screeds "A Kind And Just Parent: The Children of Juvenile Court."





Oh and Obama’s "literary genius" well, let’s just say that as big of a bumbling fool as he is without his beloved teleprompter to feed him the words to say, he’s worse without his terrorist buddy to write those words for him!

Here is an example of Obama’s "literary prowess." This "poem" is from his undergraduate period and is hilariously titled (in context) "Underground." I kid you not!



Under water grottos, caverns

Filled with apes

That eat figs.

Stepping on the figs

That the apes

Eat, they crunch.

The apes howl, bare

Their fangs, dance . . .









So lets see, the terrorist who Obama claimed was "just a guy in the neighborhood" wrote Obama’s first book. Doesn’t look good liberals and communists. (Do I have to say it?)

But this just opens the doors to more and more of Obama’s lies. Ayers wasn’t just "some guy in the neighborhood" he was one of Obama’s closet mentors after Obama left home in Hawaii.

This also brings Obama’s massive ties to ACORN out in the open. Obama claims to have once been their "attorney" in a voter fraud case. (Yeah, shocker, like voter fraud isn’t ACORN’s # 1 business) This of course was a lie on Obama’s part. Obama was a trainer for ACORN.

If there are any liberal/democrat/communists still reading this, stick with me to the bitter end,. Because the question of WHY you should think long and very hard before going after Sarah Palin and her book will be revealed at the finish.





It was Obama’s job to indoctrinate ACORN’s rent-a-mob workers in the finer points of anti-American communist, Saul Alinsky’s book, "Rules For Radicals." Alinsky, a Chicago mobster, among other things, is considered the "father of community organizing." Alinsky dedicated his book to Lucifer (the Devil) whom he called the "first radical."

This was just Obama’s first ties to ACORN. Obama’s BFF, William Ayers hired Obama to work for him at a couple of his "education foundations" that were Marxist front groups to funnel money to un-American fringe groups, and criminal enterprises like ACORN, to fund "educational programs."

You see Ayers and the rest of the Weather Underground terrorists realized they couldn’t destroy America by blowing it up, so they cut their hair, bathed, and found jobs in society. With "higher education" already infested with communists and anti-American radicals of all sorts (and that’s just the professors) the murdering, terrorist bomber Ayers was welcomed with open arms! Ayers is now considered a "respected educator!"

Terrorist Ayers’ gig is teaching teachers and writing books on "education" all the while infecting an entire generation of educators with Marxist theory and anti-Americanism.

Stanley Kurtz, Senior Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center has written extensively about the Obama, Ayers, ACORN connections. He has built a portfolio of articles about this. These too are a must read, which you can do here.




You simply cannot mention ACORN without mentioning Obama. ACORN is now being investigated by many levels of government, from state and local, to federal. When all of this comes to a head, things will not end well for Barack Obama, or his failing presidency.

Remember when Sarah went after Obama on the campaign trail for "pallin’ around with terrorists?" Well, even she may not have known the full extent of just how right she was.







You see, murdering terrorist William Ayers was not the only Weather Underground terrorist that Barack Obama is intimate with. We have found that Weather Underground co-founder Jeff Jones and Obama have very close ties.




We have found that Jeff Jones helped write a significant portion of the $1 trillion failed stimulus package that Obama foisted on America through trickery and deceit.

You see Jones, like Ayers, realized he couldn’t destroy America and turn it into a communist Utopia by blowing it up. So Jones joined the so called "green" movement, and along with others co-opted the environmental movement, turning it into a vehicle to usurp the United States Constitution, and "back door" communism in the name of "saving the planet!





Jeff Jones is a member of the radical Apollo Alliance. BTW, so is Obama’s departed "Green Jobs Czar" Van Jones, who was forced to leave recently.





Like terrorists William Ayers and Jeff Jones, Van Jones is a radical communist (self avowed) and an anti-American, anti-white, trouble maker who jumped aboard the "green" movement seeing it as the perfect vehicle to use for his plans.

Think about it. Take a bunch of young idealists, already infected with Marxist (communist) teachings, thanks to the teachers William Ayers helped along, and prey on their hopes and dreams. Use their laudable goal of a cleaner world, and corrupt it with your anti-American, anti-capitalistic rhetoric, and voilB (!) you have a ready made army of wrongly educated environmental zombies to do your bidding for you!

Now I know this sounds like a bad plot from a James Bond type movie, but unfortunately this is reality here in America!

You throw in George Soros, the evil multi-billionaire and former Nazi collaborator, who is a real life Ernst Stavro Blofeld, and the self proclaimed "owner" of the democrat/communist party, and Barack Obama’s puppet master, and the picture starts to come together.

While it may have been different at one time, it seems clear that Barack Obama is "Number One" in this Bond screenplay, and people like Ayers and the Jones are bit players like "Odd Job" or "Jaws." I ‘ll leave that casting to your imagination!





We’ve written about these connections before, and there is no greater example of the communist’s use of the "green" movement to destroy America as we know it, than the California water situation, that you can read about here and here.

The communists are using the excuse of a two inch minnow to shut off the water to almost one million acres of prime California farm land. Land that has literally fed the nation with fresh fruit, nuts, and vegetables for generations. This has led to unemployment numbers of over 40 percent, and created thousands of new people dependant on government handouts for survival. It’s also forced the United States to import billions of dollars worth of produce from foreign nations, re-distributing America’s wealth to poorer countries, a classic communist goal.

The communists use the same tactic on oil. We are not allowed to explore for oil in our nation anymore. Instead, we re-distribute somewhere between $700 billion and $1 trillion American dollars to other nations, sending serious treasure to many nations who not only hate us, but actively work against us on the world stage.

Why we do this is mind boggling. We have more oil than the Middle East, a century’s worth of clean natural gas, several hundred years worth of coal. And with our technology, we could have used the so-called stimulus dollars from the bill that terrorist Jeff Jones helped pen, to build 30 or 40 nuclear powerplants, and fix two problems. Nuclear is as clean as it gets, and cheap too.

We have capped wells off the coast of California, that could be up and running within months if the go ahead was given. California is beyond broke, they are about to become a failed state, and yet......

So imagine our surprise when we found out that only a few days after George Soros bought controlling interest in Brazilian oil company Petrobas, Barack Obama "loaned" Petrobas $10 billion dollars of taxpayer’s money! Evidently it’s fine to destroy another nation’s ecology, especially if it will make your evil master even wealthier!

Sarah Palin was right there to call Obama on this bit of chicanery too!

But, as always, the fringe Obama media, which has become nothing more than house organs for Obama and the democrat/communist party failed to do it’s job!

Still with me liberals? Communists?

So far we just talked about Obama’s first "ghostwritten" book. Of course, Obama, literary genius that he is, "produced" a second tome, "The Audacity of Hope" a thrown together piece that was obviously created to cash in on all of the hype surrounding Barack Obama at the time. This book claimed to be based on a sermon shouted by Obama’s racist, hateful anti-American "preacher" of over twenty years, the "Reverend" Jeremiah Wright.







Wright’s "church," Trinity United, which preaches "Black Liberation Theology" a communist concoction, is a cesspool of racism, and anti-American hatred. Barack Obama set in the pews of this church for over 20 years. "Reverend" Wright married Barack and Michelle, and baptized their two children. Jeremiah Wright is clearly not just "some guy in the neighborhood."

Jack Cashill who again has done yoemen’s work on this story reveals that "The Audacity of Hope" is more of a collaboration than just a "ghostwritten" book, but not a collaboration with Obama and a writer, but more of a collaboration salad of speech writers, seemingly headed by Jon Favreau. Of course, just as terrorist Ayers is not credited with "Dreams" (for obvious reasons) Favreau isn’t credited for his contribution. You can read Cashill’s report on book two here.

Now liberals, communists, fringe news media, hate bloggers over at the Huffington Post, and whoever, here’s the deal. Sarah Palin was up front and honest in her presentation of her new book, "Going Rogue, An American Life" from the minute the project was announced.

On the other hand, Barack Obama’s entire life, his entire public persona is built on one fantastic lie after another. Barack Obama has spent a lifetime marinating in communism and anti-American hatred courtesy of his mentors and friends.

Barack Obama has assembled a government of like minded communists, Chicago street thugs, and other assorted anti-American, anti-capitalist, anti-freedom, and anti-liberty radicals.

Here’s what you good folks from the anti-American democrat/communist party need to think long and hard about. You folks over at NBC, CNN, you left wing hate radio talkers, you need to remember this:

The American public has already turned on Barack Obama, and communism. They have awakened and realized they were lied to, big time. They are not pleased at all. They are ready to not only throw all of the democrat/communists in Congress in 2010, they have had their fill of Barack Obama.

For every one of your jabs, and hate filled stories lying about Sarah Palin, there are going to be a dozen stories like this one exposing Obama for the radical, psychopathic liar that he is.

As America sits around the breakfast table in the morning, and the dinner table at night, this story and dozens like it are going to be on the menu on a steady basis from now until Obama is finished.

So smear away at Sarah Palin at your own risk. We are not going to let those smears go unanswered. Just as Barack Obama told his thugs from SEIU to "punch back twice as hard" before they beat black man, Kenneth Gladney, so hard at a townhall meeting that he had to be hospitalized. We are going to "punch back" ten times as hard. Not with our fists, but with our pens, and with the help of tens of millions of Americans who have had all they are willing to put up with.

I think there is a Plan Afoot :)

Sarah Republican_VP_Candidate_2dda

Sarah Palin is number on the Amazon and Barnes and Noble best seller lists and it isn't even out yet: Going Rogue: An American Life

heh. Palin's Revenge ............

And btw, Todd Palin has resigned his position at the oil company. (hat tip Joan)

The husband of former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has quit his oil field job on the North Slope. Todd Palin's resignation as a production operator for oil giant BP PLC comes almost two months after his wife stepped down as Alaska governor and shortly before the release of her highly anticipated memoir in a deal rumored to be worth millions.

"Todd loved his union job on the Slope and hopes to return," Meghan Stapleton, Sarah Palin's personal spokeswoman, said in an e-mail Friday. "For now, he is spending time with his family."

The resignation was effective Sept. 18, according to BP spokesman Steve Rinehart.

I think there's a plan in the works.

Tapping into Your Inner-Rogue

By Adrienne Ross - www.motivationtruth.com


Since Sarah Palin’s book has become a bestseller, Palin-haters have turned out in droves in another attempt to discredit her. Even those anklebiters who were on hiatus have gathered strength, reloaded, and are aiming once again toward the former vice presidential candidate. The fact that she is enjoying such success when, upon her resignation from the Governor’s Office, they had giddily predicted her demise, is infuriating them. How is it that someone who has been coined insignificant by the haters has created such a stir with a book that has not yet hit the stands? The truth is if the anklebiters were honest, they’d admit that Sarah Palin is the epitome of significance, and she conjures up within them fear of a magnitude they have never experienced before.

So what weapons have they emerged wielding? Surely they must have some juicy tidbit of information about Governor Palin that will completely discredit her, right? Wrong. Certainly they have created some new Saturday Night Live-ish parody involving her family, yes? Oh, no. That's amateurish. They pulled out the big guns this time. The past week has caused such a new outbreak of Palin Derangement Syndrome that the haters have been left with no other choice but to go after her…book title. Yes, I said her book title.

What a sad state of affairs. I truly feel sorry for anyone who is so filled with hate that they will stop at nothing to destroy someone. And since nothing else has worked, they have now unveiled Operation Attack Book Title. And they’re zeroing in on one word in particular: rogue.

I have received messages from some of these people who obviously think that I am in need of a dictionary definition of the word. In their concern for my well-being (yeah, right), they want me to know that I am supporting someone who is a self-avowed…make the children leave the room please…rogue. They have informed me that being a rogue is a bad thing. Bad Sarah. Bad, bad Sarah. Concerning this word, one anklebiter wrote, “How fitting,” then went on to spew his hateful venom, stating that Sarah Palin picked her title because, being the “mean-spirited” person that she is, it suits her well. He wanted me to know that rogue means “an unprincipled, deceitful, and unreliable person; a scoundrel or rascal.”

Just who do these people think they’re fooling, and who do they think they’re dealing with? No doubt, they know the story. Surely, they have heard about some unnamed McCain staffer/s who said Sarah “went rogue” during the campaign. It was a title bestowed upon her in an attempt to malign her.

What Sarah has done is chosen the definition of rogue that fits. Although I have not yet read the book, I have a feeling Sarah’s going rogue is a matter of being true to who she is and breaking free of some of those chains those McCain camp mis-handlers used to tie her to stale, inept campaign tactics. Yes, another definition of rogue is “operating outside normal or desirable controls.” That’s the rogue that Sarah Palin exemplifies even today, and I would not be surprised if her book reveals that she tapped into that inner-rogue as the campaign progressed. It reminds me of when Sarah’s dad said, “Let Sarah be Sarah,” when Jesus said of Lazarus, “Loose him and let him go,” and when they say in the hood, “Yo, get up off me!”

The truth is we would all be wise to tap into our own inner-rogues. The problem is some people are scared to operate outside of what’s expected of them. Breaking away from control might mean swimming against the current rather than floating safely back to shore. Every Black conservative, for example, has had to break free of the expectations of the majority of the Black population and a very large portion of the White population so we could be true to our own deepest beliefs. It’s not an easy thing to do. It comes at a cost. It’s downright rogue. There are those who would like to join in, but have simply not yet found the strength to step away from the pack and be true to the one who matters.

Going rogue means standing up for what's right even when it's not popular. It means saying the hard things because no one else has the courage to speak up. It means not backing down even when people have you up against a wall. It means not having a price tag attached to your sleeve. The bottom line is going rogue means realizing enough is enough, choosing to step out, trusting your instincts, and doing it your way.

The title of this bestseller declares Sarah Palin has chosen to wear as a badge of honor the term originally conferred upon her as an insult. And she should. Whenever the “normal or desirable controls” are going nowhere fast, the smart thing to do is to resist, break free, and, yes, go rogue—even faster.

My wish for every one of you: May you follow Sarah Palin’s example and tap into your own inner-rogue.

Sarah Palin Tastes Like Sponge Ice Cream


I’m on vacation…as much as anyone can be with a family that includes two toddlers and two teenagers. We’ve stopped at an Econo Lodge for the night…which in this particular case should be called Cheapo Lodge…but that’s another story.

In the morning we will finish the last leg of a trip to go camping in the mountains. It’s not that far from our NC coast to our mountains, but we divided the trip up in order to spend the Day Out with Thomas and see Bob the Builder. We’ve hung out with Thomas for three years in a row now, and it’s always fun.

This year we made the visit while Thomas and Bob were at the NC Transportation Museum in Spencer, NC. The history of how that old steam engine repair yard became the coolest museum is an interesting story in itself.

Anyway, that is where I found out that Sponge Bob ice cream tastes like Sarah Palin.

While cooling off in the gift shop area and strolling around with a sleeping two year old, I happened to come across a young family peering into the ice cream cooler and trying with great decision making skills to make the correct choice.

The dad made these statements to his little boy, probably around four years old, “You want Sponge Bob ice cream? You don’t know how that tastes. Choose ….” And he proceeded to name some “safe” flavors.

Now, many might say, “Well, the dad was just trying to make sure his son enjoyed his ice cream.”

I say to that, “Uh, no.” You see, parents of children that age understand that if the kid picks a flavor he doesn’t end up liking, he will have to hear said child WHINE…and the money spent on that museum priced ice cream is thrown down the trash can chute along with the distasteful treat, melting at the same time the kid is having his own meltdown.

Why should the father take the risk of putting aside the nominal vanilla ice cream cup in favor of a square yellow treat on a stick with brown pants and bubble gum eyes? Just stick with what’s safe, right?

John McCain's former chief campaign strategist Steve Schmidt, speaking of Gov. Palin, was quoted in an article by CBSNews.com's Stephanie Condon:


"I think she has talents, but my honest view is that she would not be a winning candidate for the Republican party in 2012," he said. "Were she to be the nominee, we could have a catastrophic election result."

And when discussing what Gov. Palin may say about him in her upcoming book, Going Rogue:


"I think it may say I was anti-rogue in the running of the campaign."

Do you see where I’m going with this? Consider what guys like Schmidt risk losing if, “Egads! That Sarah Palin (I mean Sponge Bob) ice cream is awesome!”

They must keep trying to persuade all of us that the usual is good enough or they lose their status, otherwise known as power and money. Play it safe, they say. GET THE VANILLA CUP.

It’s not that those guys really want us to be happy with our choice; they just want to keep their jobs with the people they are trying desperately to convince us to choose!

My kids have had Sponge Bob ice cream before. And I will tell you that if your kids do ever have it, expect them to eat it and wear it and most likely, ask for it again.

Likewise, I have found that truly thinking people, once aware of what Gov. Palin has to offer and give her a taste, raise their eyebrows in astonishment…and ask for her again.

Oh, and that little boy at the museum had the biggest grin on his face when I saw him walk out licking that Sponge Bob ice cream.

Happy Camping, Palination!

Flashback: VP Debate -- October 2, 2008







Full Debate, running time: 1:32:31









Highlights, running time: 0:06:07
Thanks to Whitney the Pipsqueak who posted this originally on The Palination and LOTUS



Get yourself a bowl of MooseTracks® ice cream (Governor Palin's favorite), darken the room, sit down and enjoy the show. If you don't have time for the complete version, the highlights capture the salient points in just over six minutes, and you can see Governor Palin's Reagan Conservatism on display. In fact, the highlights make it all the more apparent.

Governor Palin's enemies made much hay about her four winks -- which I happened to find beautiful and appropriate -- especially considering that at least one out of the four was directed at her father, Chuck Heath. Perhaps, this was because Governor Palin's enemies were unable to address the substance of her words, which ring even more true today than they did a year and a day ago.

An interesting side story to the debate is that Governor Palin had injured her right hand from a fall she took while jogging at John McCain's ranch. The large square object on her right hand in photos dated October 2, 2008 through October 11, 2008 is a bandage covering the wound. Just like in that Wasilla Warriors basketball game more than two decades earlier, Governor Palin overcame her physical pain to bring home a victory.

Forget Diamonds! A First Dude is a Girl's Best Friend: A Post by Conservative Girl with a Voice


Sorry, President Obama, but you can’t always get what you want. Like us mere mortals, you’ll find that you’ll win some battles and you’ll lose some battles. It must really burn our president up that he finally couldn’t get what he wanted with the simple flash of a smile or a wink and a nod. As many of you know, I blogged about how terrible a decision it was for our president to go away on a last-minute trip like this when we have so many critical issues facing our country. Don’t get me wrong, I have no problem with Michelle Obama going to lobby for events like the Olympics; in fact, I see this as a great thing. I watched our First Lady give her speech in front of the IOC and felt that she did a very good job in spreading the message about the city of Chicago. I wondered to myself: “Why did the president to travel all this way to say what the first lady said so eloquently?






The entire trip cost more than $900,000. The U.S. delegation did not take one, but two planes. This group, a mixture of U.S. Olympic officials, celebrities and members of Obama Administration, had enough star power. When I found President Obama was going to travel to Copenhagen, I immediately saw this as a slap in the face to his wife. Did he not think she was up to the job? Michelle is a smart, strong woman, who held a high-profile job at one time in her life. She is more than capable to stand on her own two feet. This is what separates Barack and Michelle Obama from Todd and Sarah Palin. Unlike President Obama, Todd allows his wife to stand on her own two feet, and he supports her. You can tell they have a great marriage because they know what is important to each other, and they believe in each other. Todd is not scared of being a married to powerful woman, but apparently President Obama is.






I have to wonder if President Obama’s Messiah complex set in? It is no secret that Obama is in love with himself. I really don’t think he thought he was going to lose- I really don’t. I betcha Obama figured out that if he showed up, a 2016 Chicago Olympics was a sure bet. A lot of you are not going to like this, but, for perhaps the first time, I actually feel sorry for Michelle Obama. I feel this way because if I was in her shoes, I would be confident that I could perform the task I had been asked to do. I would not need someone do my job for me. You all have to remember that Michelle has been on the planning delegation for a long period time, and she always planned on travelling to Copenhagen to address the IOC. As a member of the delegation, Michelle knew the message they hoped to convey, and she knew her city.






There is only one reason why President Obama traveled over to Copenhagen: He wanted to make the event all about him. This was more than apparent in the speech he gave last night. Throughout the entire speech, he repeatedly used “I” and ‘Me” when addressing the IOC. I had to laugh when he said election night was not about him. Obama said the people did not show up at Grant Park for him, but instead to celebrate democracy in action. Give me a break. He really expects us to believe that? He knew good and well those people showed up and waited hours to hail him as king. He thinks we’re dumb enough to really believe that those folks who showed up at that park were there to see Michelle or the kids? This speaks volumes about Barack Obama the man, Barack Obama the husband. This is what separates a man from a boy.






Todd is a remarkable man. He is not afraid to let his wife hold a powerful job and receive attention. He is not afraid to take care of the kids and drive carpool. He is not afraid because he is comfortable in his own skin. It takes a certain type of individual and Todd is this person. He has no problem nurturing his kids and showing them affection. He is not afraid to roll up his sleeves and get dirty. Todd is one cool dude. He is a successful man too. He owns a commercial fishing business, races snow machines in sub-zero weather, and until recently was a North Slope employee. It doesn’t hurt that he can change a diaper too- he’s the kind of guy every girl wishes to end up with. Sarah is as lucky to have him, as he is to have her. I know he is not technically the first dude anymore, but he will always be first dude in my book for the way in which he supports his wife. Sarah is so lucky to have a husband who supports her and allows her to be the strong woman she is. What an amazing couple.






Readers, Todd Palin is more of a man than Barack Obama will ever be. While Todd believes in his wife, knowing she was made to do great things, the same cannot be said for President Obama. While he may have let his wife have a great, successful career, he couldn't give the spotlight to his more-than-capable wife. He could not allow her to have this moment. This speaks volumes. Once again, President Obama chose his job and image of how he is seen around the world over his own family. I think he assumed he was going to win the 2016 Olympic bid and come back to a heroes welcome. Little did he know that his Messiah complex was running on empty. Instead of coming home victorious, he came home with a bruised ego. He came home a loser. For once, his charismatic appeal did not win over the crowd. Unlike Todd, Barack could not take a step back to allow his wife to rise above the fray, to rise above his ego. I find this very unfortunate. For a man who speaks of equality and women’s rights, he sure doesn’t practice what he preaches.





Todd is the epitome of what is means to be a great husband and father. He is a stronger man than Barack will ever be. He is not afraid to take charge when he needs to, but is also not afraid to sit back and let his wife have her day. President Obama has a lot to learn from a man like Todd, but then again, Barack will never be half the man Todd is, for Todd will forever be the first dude.

Sarah Needs Her Own "Official" Website

by NYPalinPower

Ron DeVito put up an excellent post (see below "Master List of Governor Palin's 2009 Accomplishments") He gives a thorough list of Sarah Palin's accomplishments!

Thank you so much Ron! I am so impressed! You did a wonderful job putting this all together so thoroughly! It's rare these days to find truthful and thorough information about Sarah. Wow, what a relief to read the truth for a change!

This information needs to be widely distributed and it can by incorporating it into one "Official" Sarah Palin Website that could be linked from Sarah's Facebook page so all that want to know the truth can get it.

The American public is so confused about her now because they have been given so much twisted information from the media and are constantly reading hateful lies that are spread all over the internet from PAID "trolls" (I wonder what sources are paying them?). No wonder the public doesn't know what to believe about Sarah. There is so much division in this country about her and I believe a lot has to do with not having access to the truth.

So I think the only way is to have an Official Sarah Website with this information, so that we can all properly PROMOTE PALIN POSITIVELY. I hope she does this. And again, she should have a link from her Facebook page so that anybody who wants to know the truth about Sarah can find it easily for themselves.

Keep up the good work Ron!
Best, Dawn
