Palin: ‘You blew it, President Obama’

By Rachel Rose Hartman

Sarah Palin speaks at an RNC rally in Florida.It's Sarah Palin's time to shine. After spending this cycle touting tea party candidates, endorsing "Mama Grizzlies," and lending her time and energy to candidates around the country, Palin says she can't wait to see her candidates clobber Democrats and Republicans alike on Tuesday.

"I think it's going to be a political earthquake," Palin told Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday. She suggested voters will say: "You blew it, President Obama. We gave you the two years to fulfill your promise" to repair the economy, and you didn't. "The last two years have not been good for our country."

And on the right, Palin thinks "business as usual" and "wishy-washy" and "establishment" Republicans all will be taught a lesson this week.

"You're going to see this freshman class come in with a lot of passion, with a lot of commitment to turning things around and putting government back on the side of people," Palin said.

Wallace asked whether she shouldn't advise her crop of outsider Republicans to compromise in Washington to avoid obstruction.

"No, they should not compromise on principles. That's been part of the problem... going along to get along," Palin responded.

She railed against raising taxes, and pushed for the extension of the George W. Bush tax cuts, echoing the views of many fiscally conservative tea party candidates.

Wallace noted that while many of Palin's candidates have sailed to tough primary victories and are surging in the polls, not all of the office-seekers she's endorsed are faring well. Republican Christine O'Donnell appears unlikely to pull out a win in Delaware, and the same fate may be in store for Joe Miller in Alaska, Wallace said.

But Palin staunchly defended both, saying there was no way she would have supported Delaware Democrat Chris Coons or establishment Republican Mike Castle in that race. And as for Alaska, Palin lamented the media treatment he has received and publicized his latest entanglement with the Alaska press.

As for Palin's own future, she tamped down talk of a 2012 presidential run.

"I love the freedom that I have that I can sit here and tell you anything I want to without the fear," Palin said. "I love the position that I'm in now."

    we all know that the world is going to end one day soon but lets not vote the devil whos after your body, mind and soul and when that day comes how many of the republicans going to rise first, remember in order to rise with CHRIST you cant be lying, you have to treat your brother right i must remind everyone that when you die and wake up in hell your soul is in torment for ever and nobody will come to your rescue so lets us not worry about the things in this world, but prepare are soul to get ready to meet JESUS CHRIST when he comes, all we have to do is read bible which well tell us what to do and dont waiver from that for personal gain.

    Palin thins she is "Sarah plain and tall" but her days are numbered. After this election nobody will know who she is.Maybe she can be listed in Guiness as the world's best loser. * years of Bush led us into monthly payments to 2,3 4,5 wars that do nothinbg to protect this country. Just like his father. they couldn't manage an economy so they started a war-the easiest one being Iraq since Donald Rumsfield gave Saddam an open credit card during the Reagan years. How do you think he bought the so-called weapons of mass destruction?

    If Milions of people identify with Palin. MY GOD, think about that! SCARRY AND SAD. She can't even get her family together right, with young pregnant, unwed mother in the house. And all the time she is saying bring the old values back in the family. Well hers I don't need. If I had her values in my house I would really be in trouble, I don't really think the country needs her type if leadership with those type of values that she carries at home. Shot gun in the closet and e unwed, pregnant daughter in the front room. She needs to practice what she preaches and quit giving people with real values a bad name.

    I left the US in the 90's in the service of my country. I came back after 9/11. I understand the extra secruity going on in the US, but what happened to the US, I am not talking about the politics, that has always been a mess. I am talking about the people. It seems to me that so many have forgotten the, "WE THE PEOPLE". It really hurts me to read all these complaints and finger pointing from people who are suppose to make up this great country. When I read some of the comments I can clearly see that most of you don't even really know what is going on or the real issue, you just want to complain. We Americans need to get our heads out of our 4 points of contact and really look around at what is really going on. As I see the US from a outside view it looks like one big sandbox with one toy in it and everyone is fighting over it like little children and not like adults.

    OH MY!!!!!! and u want to possibly think about running for the president of these united states? Your thought processes on how the economy is not getting better, and the promises that obama made etc. Now what in the world made u think that 2 years is enough time to correct 8 years of terrible money management from the bush era. Give it up Ms. Palin. U already gave up one political position, and now u want to comment on this 2 years of work that out current president is working on. How dare u! Seems to me that instead of realizing that there's more work to do, and it won't be the republicans, democrats, or independants to fix it, there's only one and he's coming soon. Fix your house Palin, and not ur mouth!!!!!

    To Tourney,

    You may have had some good points, but the minute you said such an ignorant statement about "Id rather vote for Palin, than a black man anyday" negates ANYTHING intelligent you may have had to say.
    I voted along the Republican lines,but would never NOT vote for someone solely based on Race. Small minded people can never reach greatness.
    I would vote for Palin though, over Obama, because she has conviction and fire in what she stands for.

    To Mongo 46538,

    Milions of people identify with Palin. MY GOD, think about that! She is refreshing, and doesn't hide behind the mask of a Politician. Who is the imbicile?? Obama has some good ideas, but too many people voted for him simply based on his charismatic delivery and style. Why don't you ask all those people who are still laid off, or getting laid off as we speak what they think of the Stimulus Package. It hasn't touched them. I haven't seen a penny of it. The health care plan does not help the middle class misplaced worker who how has to use Cobra to buy out of the world premiums to have coverage.

    Might want to check your facts before sputing off Fella.
