The Obama Dozen by Sarah Palin

- or- Everything I Really Needed to Know About Defeating Obama I Learned from Sarah Palin

With the current all-male Republican circle-jerk doomed to repeat itself until at least June like some gay orgy in a locker room, it is good we have Barack Obama deciding to run against Sarah Palin in the meantime. Good because it gives Sarah Palin an opportunity to remind us of the real goal: kicking this walking, talking, preening, phony disaster out of the White House and off Air Force One. Unlike Mitt, Newt, Rick, and Ron, Sarah does not take her eye off the message. Indeed she supplied everyone a couple of days ago with the 12 main talking points that seem to have gone right out of the pointed little heads of the current candidates and their supporters.

What are The Palin Points? Let’s review:
Just off the top of my head, a few of these concerning issues include:

1. a debt crisis that has us hurtling towards a Greek-style collapse,
   
2. entitlement programs going bankrupt,
   
3. a credit downgrade for the first time in our history,
   
4. a government takeover of the health care industry that makes care more expensive and puts a rationing panel of faceless bureaucrats between you and your doctor (aka a “death panel”),
   
5. $4 and $5 gas at the pump exacerbated by an anti-drilling agenda that rejects good paying energy sector jobs and makes us more dependent on dangerous foreign regimes,
   
6. a war in Afghanistan that seems unfocused and unending,
   
7. a global presidential apology tour that’s made us look feeble and ridiculous,
   
8. a housing market in the tank,
   
9. the longest streak of high unemployment since World War II,
   private-sector job creators and industry strangled by burdensome regulations and an out-of-control Obama EPA,
   
10. an attack on the Constitutional protection of religious liberty,
    an attack on private industry in right-to-work states,
    
11. crony capitalism run amok in an administration in bed with their favored cronies to the detriment of genuine free market capitalism,
    green energy pay-to-play kickbacks to Obama campaign donors, and
    
12. a Justice Department still stonewalling on a bungled operation that armed violent Mexican drug lords and led to the deaths of hundreds of innocent people.

I’m sure I missed a few things, but the list is just for starters.

One would hope that, at some point, the boys in the locker room can quite snapping towels on each other’s butts long enough to get back on Palin's message. But as Lyndon Johnson once said, “I don’t want to hold out any hopes for you I don’t hold out for myself.”
