Palin's "blood libel" speech

If the Obamination wanted to look sincere about not dividing people, he would have defended Palin from accusations of provoking the incident. And he should have done it before Palin said anything about it in a speech. Palin gave everyone plenty of time to reject those accusations.

He is trying his hardest to start trouble in the street.

If he had defended her, he would have caught hell from me. Everyone wants to allow that air head to make any incendiary statement she wants to make without any accountability.
It just will not fly.

Nice gesture when Obama brushed away a tear.

I wonder how many times he rehearsed it.

Rimo, I am not a fan of Palin, and I doubt if I would ever vote for her. She is the other bookend to Obama, with little experience but nice looking and great at speeches. But one thing she is not is an air head. No she's very calculating just as Obama is very calculating, but those calculations are not always in the peoples best interest. Obama needs to be accountable to everyone, but he's not, he's only concerned about his left/unions/special interests. Palin is not in an elected position right now, she's just a mouthpiece. But Obama is, and we remember very clearly his statements.

I am not here just to disagree with others, however, it was the correct thing to do when he did not mention Her name. This was all about those who were killed and injured.
I thought the yelling was inappropriate. That was a somber occasion, applause for something said would have been the thing to do.
