The last sentence of Sarah Palin’s Facebook entry is getting a lot of attention:
-
” We already know that President Obama likes to “speak softly” to our enemies. If he doesn’t have a “big stick” to carry, maybe it’s time for him to grow one.”
Gulp.
Politico covered her interview the night before on OReilly:
Sarah Palin says Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign should be “severely aggressive” in attacking President Barack Obama as “incompetent” and a “socialist.”
-
Fox News’s Bill O’Reilly asked the former Alaska governor on Tuesday if Romney’s campaign — which has come under fire from Republicans — needs to go after Obama in a “more personal way” and use buzzwords like “incompetent, dangerous, socialist.”
“Those aren’t just buzzwords,” said Palin. “Those are accurate descriptions of the commander in chief.”
“He should be very aggressive, and he should be adamant in his attacks on Obama’s record, which is so dismal, his plan, or lack of a plan of Obama’s, to get his out of these woeful times,” Palin continued. “He needs to be severely aggressive.”
The next day Romney did just that and got hammered. Romney, after Palin’s remark, decided to throw the kitchen sink at him. That doesn’t make her advice wrong, just his execution.
@ Laura:
I’m with you. Seems to me he’s doing just fine. The harder they hammer the greater the evidence of their desperation.
In his shoes, I’d smile broadly & shoot back at the hammerers with
“Scared are ya?
— Glad to hear it.”

He got hammered by the usual suspects: The enemedia, democrats and RINO’s. The American people agree with Romney. His execution was fine.
