Sarah Palin tells Obama to stop gallivanting and start explaining U.S. role in Libya

Sarah Palin took to Facebook on Tuesday to ask President Obama to explain his plan in Libya.

Apologizing "if I can’t keep up with the timing and rationale of your murky foreign policy positions," the former governor demanded that Obama come clean on whether the mission is to oust longtime leader Moammar Kadafi or not.

"If Kadafi's’s got to go, then tell NATO our continued participation hinges on this: We strike hard and Kadafi will be gone," the hockey mom wrote.

"If, as you and your spokesmen suggest, we’re not to tell Libya what to do when it comes to that country’s leadership, and if you can’t explain to Americans why we’re willing to protect Libyan resources and civilians but not Syria’s, Yemen’s, Bahrain’s, Egypt’s, Israel’s, etc., then there is no justification for U.S. human and fiscal resources to be spent," Palin argued.

Perhaps peeved about yesterday's news that Levi Johnston, the father of her grandson Tripp, is scheduled to release a tell-all book about her family, Palin took it out on Obama and his recent fundraising around the nation.

"It’s unbelievable to me that you spent last week in campaign mode, gallivanting around the country to start raising the billion dollars for your reelection bid that is still 19 months away 'while Rome burns,'" the Fox News contributor said.

"I know, I know, granted you will be even busier very soon," Palin wrote. "After all, golf season kicks into high gear shortly. NBA and NHL brackets await."

The president recently spoke with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the pair agreed that Kadafi should leave Libya.

"The leaders agreed that attacks against civilians must stop and that Kadafi must step down and depart Libya permanently in order for there to be a lasting solution that reflects the will of the Libyan people," the White House said Monday.

I hope this isn't an article, but is a column or an editorial.
I pray this isn't meant to be "objective" or "fair", or supposed to be read as "journalism" or "news".

[Tom]

If this nitwit is left alone, she will no longer be able to exhibit her stupidity.. Any person that thinks she makes sense should seek help, she is dumb and only operates on a small platform which was gifted to her..Though I can't fault her for making money...By this time, I thought she would have bought a long white gown and started full time bible talk...................Those people make a bunch of money with their scam... So anxious to read "Blind Allegiance"...............

[Carlton West]

Sensational Sarah Palin, articulate to the point of artistry, a wizard with words, gave Mr. Obama a timely smackdown on Facebook today. Since 2008, she has been prophetic, perceptive, and precise on every economic, social, military, and energy-related issue facing our country. Obama has dithered, dallied, and danced around. Sarah is an inspired leader. Obama is a teleprompter reader

[We need responsible Media coverage]

Seriously, why do you give this ladies FaceBook rants any coverage? Do America a favor and refocus politics on intelligent people with solution.

[babette]

I believe her grandson is "Tripp" and her own son is "Trigg"

[Beth]

This loon from Alaska is clearly mentally ill and somehow thinks that she gets to make the decisions made by the highest office. Palin appears to still carry a grudge and lives on Fantasy Island and does not understand that she lost the election. She cannot understand anything and demands that things be personally explained to her. After two years she claims that she still doesn't know whether or not she will run for President--yet the polls show that she could not be elected and does not have the support of the Republican Party, the Democratic Party or the Tea Party. There is more to preparing yourself for 2012 than appearing on Dancing with the Stars or in your own family's soap opera. We do not choose our elected officials based on the person who has the loudest, shrillest voice or who is the most vindictive. Grow up, Sarah, and learn how to get along with others rather than being the most polarizing, least liked person who is considering running in 2012.

[Tom]

That's all Obama does. He certainly does not "govern," he only spends...our money like a drunken sailor.

[truth to power]

Sarah Palin is so, like, um... LAST WEEK!

[willegge]

Give it to them Governor Palin. Show the King of double speak how to speak the truth. Pay no attention the haters just keep talking the message you so powerfully deliver. Palin 2012

[Sally]

Good grief. I had hoped that her silence after the shouting down she took in Wisconsin would continue. Sorry, Sarah, but the President of the US does not answer to you. He is not one of your 'bots, hanging on every word. He has advisors and foreign policy experts...he does not need a quitter who couldn't even govern Alaska making policy for him. Neither does the country. I'm certain that were you somehow elected POTUS, you would trumpet all the national defense plans all over Facebook, huh? You'd make sure to tell all our enemies exactly what was planned. It worked so well when Bush told Bin Laden he was going to kill him. I think he's still in hiding, right? Grow up, woman. You have no office. You are nobody. Go home and raise your kids.

[Gabrielle]

Jealousy rears its ugly head. Queen Blah Blah and Rebecca Mansour are whining because Sister Sarah isn't getting the attention now that more qualified people are considering running in 2012. Chicken Little is hiding behind her speech writer's comments on Facebook, trying to look tough and stir up some speaking engagements. Looks like Bristol's book will bomb as there are authors who have books coming out that are more factual than Bristol Palin's glamorized versions of her worldly accomplishments before the age of twenty. What can the Queen of Abstinence say that it is new and not already been said in an interview she sold to the tabloids? How many times do we have to hear about how awful Levi is and about the difficult life that Bristol lives because she has to support her son on less than half a million dollars a year? Today's tirade against President Obama because Sarah Palin cannot understand his policy in Libya is just more of the typical divisive, polarizing comments written daily on her Facebook by the Queen of Mean. The ideas were first spoken on the talkshows and FOX--and then the wingnut is parroting them today and hoping that her fans will believe that they are her original thoughts.

Forgive me for asking- but wasn't Sarah the one that quit HER elected job as governor to go "gallivanting" around the country gathering support? I believe Obama is still in office. I don't see him quitting anytime soon. Just because Sarah doesn't understand his decisions doesn't mean they are the wrong decisions. Newsflash: Intelligent leaders don't always BLAB their country's business and foreign policy plans all over-you don't always want to show everyone your hand! I will never understand how someone who is so "passionate" about governing would up and quit her own governing job half way through. She is an attention seeking, uneducated, misguided Barbie.

[Civility?]

The reactions to this story are pretty revealing. Rather than respond to Governor Palin's actual comments, the responses here focus on her governorship.

Did she leave office during her term? Yes.

Does that fact invalidate her comments about President Obama's lack of leadership? No.

The point remains that the President isn't leading. He chases from issue to issue without really resolving anything, and without showing that he has a coherent plan that addresses the nation's troubles.

Are Obama supporters really that easily distracted, that they cannot see beyond the messenger to focus on the message? If so, that might explain their blindness to the frenetic pace with which the Speechgiver in Chief jumps from topic to topic.

And Juan, the column's subtitle is "Political Commentary from Andrew Malcolm." Had you gotten beyond the picture of Sarah Palin before posting, the editorial nature of this column should have been obvious.

[Tracy]

Do as I say--not as I do. What a hypocrite! Sarah Palin quits her job as Governor of the State of Alaska because she can't handle the job. She wants more money so she writes a book filled with lies (Saint Sarah's Version of her Bible). She gallavants across the country getting $100,000 per speech and does her version of a book signing tour. She calls it a bus tour, which means that she charters jets from city to city and her staff and baby rides the bus, and she hops in the bus a few blocks from the book signing stop and pretends that she was on the bus the whole time. She hires Track's girl friend (Trig's birth mama?) to be Trig's nanny and the baby is used as a political prop to excite the families of special needs children about all the Government programs Sarah will bring to them if she is elected. She only goes to small conservative towns that voted for McCain/Palin because Palin wants to look good in the pictures. Of course, for this tour she surrounds herself with personal photographers, beauticians, wardrobe consultants--because beauty is more important than any message or knowledge on Sarah's political agenda. It seems ironic that this quitter from Alaska who is unemployed thinks that just because President Obama is Black, she can order him around and demand that he start explaining all his policies to her. Does he also need to bow down to the Diva before he addresses all her demands?

[cjj]

Why do these nobody's like Trump and Palin think they are in a place to demand anything from the POTUS?

Either get in the race or shut the trap!

[marissa]

It grew with your day after Christmas conversation with King Abdullah as he congratulated you in NEW START to weaken Americas Military. Its growing as you want to arm Muslim Rebels across the Middle-East and want to ban guns to GOOD AMERICANs in America. It grew when you changed up our TV Program to glorify yourself alone. You want AMERICA to be OBAMALAND. We LOVE AMERICA. They chant your name in the Middle-East, own up to it. WHY?

..........Your joking right?

[Socorro Varela]

The hate Sarah Palin bigots are out in force again. The peculiar thing about their hatred is that most of these haters truly do not know why they hate her so much except that like the sheep that they are, they are following the mainstream media's lead on this. Looking and listening to them from a safe distance I can see that they tread against her wearing major blinders. Relying exclusively on the erroneous media reports. From the moment that Sarah Palin was unvieled at the RNC national convention in 2008, the media singled her out as public enemy number one. Why? That is an easy question to answer. The media had already annointed Obama as the next Muslim-in-Chief and the one picture they most feared was her standing there holding her beautiful down-syndrome baby in her arms. That spoke volumes of her moral courage and the subsequent attack on her by the media spoke volumes of their moral bankruptcy. The real sad thing is that it also speaks volumes of the moral bankruptcy of the sheep that still attack her now. At the core of this hatred is that Sarah Palin did not do what most liberals in the media and everywhere would have done and that is to have killed her down-syndrome baby in the womb. The media and these haters have aligned themselves with JUDAS.
