December 10, 2009 Palin on Obama Speech: 'I Liked What He Said' December 10th
From CNN Associate Producer Martina Stewart
(CNN) – Sarah Palin had some rare praise Thursday for President Obama after the president delivered his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech in Oslo. But the former Republican vice presidential nominee added that she would like to see the president act more like his predecessor, George W. Bush.
"I liked what he said," Palin told USAToday in an interview after the speech.
Palin said the president's remarks had a familiar ring. "I thumbed through my book quickly this morning to say 'Wow! That really sounded familiar.' because I talked in book too about the fallen nature of man and why war is necessary at times."
But Palin suggested Obama could learn a few things from former President Bush.
"We have to stop those terrorists over there," she told the paper. "We've learned our lesson from 9/11. George Bush did a great job of reminding Americans every single day that he was in office what that lesson is. And, by the way, I'd like to see President Obama follow more closely in the footsteps of George Bush and [Bush's] passion keeping the homeland safe, his passion for respecting – honoring our troops."
Palin is the second prominent Republican to praise Obama's speech accepting the Nobel Prize, after former House Speaker Newt Gingrich called it "very good."

Run Sarah Run!
Half of it was very good...but he negated that half after almost every reasonable point with some mealy mouthed attempt to placate the left...like the “having said that” quality of speech that is so popular lately...it was a schizophrenic narcissist talking to everyone...but, it is true, parts of it were quite good.
Is Obama jacking quotes from her book..but but, I thought he said he hasn’t read her book and has no plan to
I think Sarah has learned that words mean nothing. Only ACTIONS AND DEEDS count. She made her point in comparing Obama and Bush very smoothly. And showed Obama for what he really is and his attitude toward America and its defense.
Nice job Sarah. And you did it without lying.
A “good” # of right wing forums are saying the same thing that it was good. BUT we are talking about an empty suit who hates the country. They are just WORDS.
Zero’s “people” have read Sarah’s book. Zero only reads a teleprompter.

See what a prophet I was.
LOL, thanks for that. And they call us “racists”, and self-described themselves as “tolerant”.
Yeah, that’s too funny...I can only imagine what they’re going to say when someone there throws out the raw meat that Sarah Palin agrees with Obama’s rhetoric today concerning “just war.”
I didn't. I don't like anything Obama says. Not sure what Palin found so wonderful.
“She made her point in comparing Obama and Bush very smoothly.”
I’d call that improvement over her interview with Katie Couric.
(I’m Canadian btw.)
I didn't hear the speech - but I'm with you. When a liar, and con man who is bent on turning the United States into a God-less Socialist state, speaks -- I'm really not too interested on how well he reads words off a teleprompter. He'll say whatever will win him the most transitory popularity - and then proceed on his dark course...
Maybe this is the beginning of their trying to blunt Palin’s impact by co-opting her rhetoric—the Obama version of Morris’s triangulation.
If so, she’s on to them already and won’t let them use it to mask their anti-American actions.
Juan Williams just said on Fox that today “0bama was the philosopher-king and he was resplendent.”
No joke.
Notice how the media NEVER gives her the benefit of the same normal courtesy editing they give to other politicians. Every dropped "G", every elision of filler words like "and", every single thing they can do to make her sound more like a bumpkin, they leave it in.
I think it’s kind of hard for her to say that she didn’t like what he said—when she’s pointing out that he’s practically quoting from her book!
