You remember that when Sarah Palin was John McCain’s running mate in 2008, she accused Obama of “palling around with terrorists.” She never repeated this remark in the campaign as McCain forbid her to do so. Since then she has been Obama’s most vocal critic.
You will also remember that I was a big fan of hers. I recognized that she is unfairly and dishonestly maligned and mocked by many just as Israel is demeaned and deligitamated by many. Although as a result of the defamation, her star has fallen considerably, I do believe that she will campaign to be the Republic nominee for President. I base this prediction on two interviews in which she indicated that she is open to running for office.
Whether she will do so with the hope of winning or with the intention to keep her name relevant and to be a possible king maker remains to be seen. Ted Belman

Good God, Mr. President. To partner with Iran is to trust the enemy, which is insane. Iran has complicity in the rise of ISIS as it supports radical militias and arms Islamic terrorists.
You’ve been the luckiest man in the world, in an un-American Democracy sort of way, to have had the liberal media in your lap allowing you to execute the least transparent presidency in history while they mock and destroy your critics for you. Until now. Even they must see that without accountability you are leading us into very, very dangerous territory.
In the 2008 campaign Sen. McCain and I warned, on behalf of every reasonable person, that your willingness to negotiate with terrorists would get Americans killed; that pulling an anti-Reagan move by taking our Big Stick of strength and putting it in the hands of any foe could be insurmountably devastating for our allies. Iran is one of Israel’s staunchest enemies. Mr. President, who is advising you to come against Israel?
What is wrong with you, Barack Obama? You can not pal around with terrorists and expect us to survive.

Here is the Statement by Senators McCain and Graham that Governor Palin linked to:
STATEMENT BY SENATORS JOHN MCCAIN AND LINDSEY GRAHAM ON PRESIDENT OBAMA’S SECRET LETTER TO IRAN’S SUPREME LEADER
Nov 06 2014Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) today released the following statement on reports that President Obama sent a secret letter to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei urging him to join the fight against ISIS:“It is outrageous that, while the cries of moderate Syrian forces for greater U.S. assistance fall on deaf ears in the White House, President Obama is apparently urging Ayatollah Khamenei to join the fight against ISIS. This is the same Iranian regime that has been complicit in the rise of ISIS by pushing a violent sectarian agenda throughout the Middle East — backing radical Shia militias and politicians in Iraq, doing everything in its power to aid the killing machine of Bashar al-Assad in Syria, arming Hamas terrorists with advanced rockets in Gaza, and orchestrating Hezbollah’s dispatch of thousands of fighters from Lebanon into Syria.
“The Administration needs to understand that this Iranian regime cares more about trying to weaken America and push us out of the Middle East than cooperating with us. Until we recognize that reality, and formulate a regional strategy to counter the Iranian regime’s malign influence, we will continue to harm U.S. national security interests, as well as our relationships with our closest regional allies and partners, in pursuit of the illusory goal of rapprochement with the current Iranian leadership. The consequences of this ill-conceived bargain would destroy the Syrians’ last best chance to live in freedom from the brutal Assad regime.”

What does your comment have to do w/ the one you referenced it to???
Debbie Schlussel: “*** UPDATE: And yes, “mom” in absentia, Sarah Palin, allowed her her daughter, Bristol’s boyfriend, Levi Johnston to repeatedly spend the night. She is no different than the rest of these parents, other than that she is now lying about it and claiming to be pro-family values.”

She may WELL be up for running for office (like you, I hope she is).
Doesn’t follow from that, however, that she’d seek the OVAL Office specifically.
The presidency is unlike any other office; it’s a “fuller-than-fulltime” job. Takes a lot out of the man. Even when a president is “on vacation,” he isn’t; not really. Not ever.
It’s no secret (and no accident) that every president, when he leaves the White House on his final day, always has plenty of grey hair
— regardless of what color it was on the day he entered it. . . .
Sarah Palin has a special-needs child. That sort of thing has a way of creating certain inviolable parameters in a parent’s life, and tends to give such a life and career an unusual trajectory.
A special-needs child might STILL leave room for some elective (or appointed) office
— but not the presidency.
@ bernard ross:
Thank you Bernard for the link to the interview of Sharyl Attkisson. I have read a lot of similar information about this government corruption. The day after these criminals leave government; it will not be enough paper to print the information that will be exposed. The amount of information revealed in the first two years will be overwhelming. This is just the tip of the iceberg . The web of deceit is so immense. It is sufficient reason for the silence. This is communism in practice. One organization or individual is afraid of the other because nobody knows who to trust. Divide and conquer which is what the reds have always done . In this situation people who know something fear for their lives. Everyone plays the game afraid of what can happen to immediate family.
By implication people become collaborators. One thing is your life an another protecting your family’s well being.
Insidious bastard has lost the international respect for the country.
When the government top echelon is corrupt it spread to other organizations until it affects the entire population.
We say in Spanish “A todo cerdo le llega su St. Martin”
The killing of the animals & pigs is called matanza. It usually done on the feast of St. Martin.
The phrase refers only to pigs and other animals. I does not mention VERMIN.
More presidential corruption?
They’re back 😛
I had read that they did not want to investigate or impeach Obama because biden would then be pres. Perhaps biden is sending the message that he will play ball with the GOP 😛
@ yamit82:
of course, she lumps in Israel with Obama. these people are so weird and freaky
Egypt abuzz over racy movie poster featuring anti-Obama belly-dancer
The film is starring Sama al-Masry, an Egyptian belly dancer who has raised eyebrows in the past for controversial statements.
she denounces President Barack Obama as a supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood, presumably as part of the Egyptian backlash against Washington over its denunciations of the military coup that brought Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to power.

@ yamit82:
Yamit, in more than one way, I always preferred Chanuka over Purim, and not because our family wanted to compete with the goyishe folk as a strictly Jewish substitute for their Xmastime festivities, much of which comprised getting drunk and blowing away their cash in the big Jewish-owned stores for stuff they would shortly discard along with the dead trees with which they decorated their homes for about four weeks. And no, we never had a Chanuka Bush. My dad, Max Harris, Iowa born and bred, didn’t like faking anything whatsoever.
Back to Purim vs Chanuka. It seems to me that what got Haman and his sons to their final necktie party was Esther shaking her ass in eyesight of the great king of the Persian empire. There’s nothing Mordechai the Jew could have done to top that. In any case, Esther’s Jewish heart and soul were at least the equal of her Jewish ass, and it’s hard to deny that HaShem indeed moves in strange ways. So our ancestors got the chance to slaughter the latter-day Amelekites in all the cities of Persia, and Ezra got the green light to rebuild the Great Temple of Melech Shlomo in Jerusalem.
Now let’s upshift a few hundred years or so to the age of the Greco-Syrian King Epiphemes IV (the great), whom some Jewish wit renamed as Epimanes IV (the crazy). This was the jerk who decided that the Jews of Eretz-Yisrael should worship him, and not our invisible HaShem whose name we never have been permitted to pronounce.
As the world knows, we had our very own Jewish intafada, led by a handful of Jewish hard guys from one of our small villages of that era. They were not afraid to kill any Greek who tried to interfere with our Yahadut, or any of the Yehudim who acted as anti-Jewish traitors. Those are exactly the kind of Jews I always have admired and whom I thought fit to rule the Jewish nation, in contrast to the Netanyahu ass-lickers of the present era.
And all that is why I esteem Chanuka — the real Chanuka of the Jewish freedom fighters and killers — over what Esther accomplished in bed with the Persian king. By the way, from what I have read, she must have been at least as good looking as Elizabeth Taylor. If so, small wonder why she twisted Xerxes as well as she did.
I hope whatever I have written here does not sound anti-Jewish, because I don’t really know Talmud Judaism as well as I suppose you do, Yamit. But I know the Jewish nation is in my heart and soul.

Ted, Sarah Palin could well prove to be America’s first queen maker one of these coming election years. Not just white Americans but also American women in general have turned solidly against liberalism in general and Obamist liberalism in particular. Of course, there is nothing in current conservative American politics to indicate that former governor Palin would be the queen of this particular republic. But she is too sharp, bright and popular to be ignored for some role in Washington if the Republicans win the next presidential election in 2016, and results of the Republican victory sweep in both the congressional and state gubernatorial elections indicated that Hilary Clinton’s charm carried little or no weight in the states for which she visited to talk up Democratic Party candidates.
Irrespective of Sarah Palin, the new solidly-Republican controlled US Senate and the US House of Representatives have clearly indicated that they will not back any of Obama’s, Kerry’s and Indyk’s game-playing with the Iranians, Hamas, or any other enemies of Israel. Not a few Republicans will be looking for any reason to weaken Obama, reverse his legislation and his behind-the-curtain deals with various Islamic enemies both of Israel and the USA.
As for Israel, Obama and his gang have given indication they would not invite Netanyahu or his foreign minister for White House meetings unless and until they show signs of knuckling under to Obamist threats. But there is nothing that can stop the US Senate Majority leader and the Speaker of the US House of Representatives — both Republicans for the coming two years and probably for a long time afterward — from inviting Netanyahu and anyone else they choose to include for meetings with either house, or even for a joint session of Congress. All this, of course, would make Obama and his foreign policy gang look like shriveled little puppy dogs. Which is exactly the mood of the new hard-core Republican leadership of the congress.
Now is the time for Israel to take its stand to permanently control all parts of Shomron and Yehuda militarily, and to annex outright everything except the eight Arab-populated cities that Professor Mordechai Kedar has identidied as good candidate municipalities for local Arab autonomy in a land surrounded by the coming Jewing population of the future. This process should begin with complete annexation of Area C, but the Arab villages that make up Area B should be then put under the same status as Area C has had under the Oslo Accord maps.
Somehow or another, a series of miracles keep sustaining the Jewish nation over three millennia. As a Jewish nationalist, I am nowhere near as religiously observant as some of your other commenters. But even so, I have to stop and wonder at the timing and results of this particular election, just as the Jews of ancient Persia must have wondered at the advent of the downfall of Haman the would-be Jew-killer.
