Yeah that video makes me gringe (looked like even some in the audience had that reaction). One good thing about Sarah though is that she's always good for a laugh. Sure, during the Bush years if you were feeling a little down you could always go to YouTube and watch a few Bushisms for a chuckle. That little consolation was always tempered, unfortunately, by the fact he was actually President and out in the world doing massive harm. With Sarah we'll never have that worry to constrain our mirth.
Good grief, she looks like she had a few drinks before she got up to make that speech!
She says...if I was in charge...yeah, right...if she was in charge we'd probably be embroiled in World War III right now. She's nuts.
Oh for sure. If Palin were president I could just see Russia taking over neighboring countries with nothing more than weak sanctions. Iran would probably be closer than ever to a nuke. Syria would probably just ignore us and continue it's civil unrest with Russia's help. One of her cabinet members would probably say something really stupid like calling Israel an apartheid state. That would be crazy.
On the domestic side she would probably have our GDP growth down to about .5% while our healthcare costs jump by 9.9%. Unemployment would be huge, food stamps out of control and a skyrocketing debt. I'm guessing she would be too stupid to allow anything like an oil pipeline from Canada to happen. And we would probably have to suffer through endless speeches about climate change, income inequality and fairness.
Yeah, good thing ol' ding bat Sarah isn't in charge we would be in a pretty fucked up situation right now.
