Speaking of coverage, glad you finally called in the Marines... shame it was just to hold your umbrella
OUCH!

Mr. President, when it rains it pours, but most Americans hold their own umbrellas. Today in the Rose Garden you dismissed the idea of a Special Counsel to investigate the IRS scandal. With that, your galling political hubris shined bright in the midst of today’s dark clouds.
Mr. President, how can we trust your Justice Department to conduct an independent investigation when there is a systemic violation of the Hatch Act throughout your administration?
Surely you are aware that the Hatch Act prevents certain federal employees from engaging in political activity. Specifically, it’s illegal for these federal employees to engage in action in support of or in opposition to a political party, a candidate for partisan political office, or a partisan political group.
Yet that is exactly what’s happened within the IRS, the Justice Department, and in the Benghazi cover-up. This scandalous hat trick is on your watch. It is not believable that you knew nothing about Obama administration actions in dealing with these scandals. And in regards to Benghazi, when you should have taken appropriate action to save American lives – for instance by calling in the Marines – you were AWOL. Just weeks before the election your team scrubbed the Benghazi talking points in 12 different versions, lied to the American people about some YouTube video being to blame for the deaths of brave Americans who put our country first, and you prove Michael Barone right when he writes, “What actually happened in Benghazi was out of sync with the Obama campaign line.” That’s why you all did what you did. Pure raw politics were at play during a horrific time of loss.
For more evidence of Hatch Act violations right under your nose, simply consider DOJ’s “massive and unprecedented intrusion” into the free press. Do you think they picked up some political talk when tapping the phones in the House press gallery?
Your team is out of control. Those who cannot remember the past and learn from it are doomed to repeat it, and that is exactly what is happening. Look back exactly 40 years ago this week and apply that disheartening chapter of American history to the team you’ve chosen and lead today.
Some of us warned America; we cautioned voters in 2008 that a community organizer with no executive experience and no sense of accountability would be a very poor choice for the nation’s top management position.
Mr. President, you said today that you have “complete confidence” in the Attorney General. America doesn’t. Eric Holder needs to appoint an unbiased Special Counsel to investigate the illegal political action of this administration. And then Eric Holder needs to resign.
Most Americans see ominous dark clouds looming beyond the White House Rose Garden, Mr. President. They’ll roll away only when light is shined on the Obama administration’s antics, and America will only recover when you cease avoiding responsibility in this mission of yours to fundamentally transform America. For that to happen, the press had better learn from their experiences of being duped and provide a deserving public fairer, more intelligent coverage.

- Sarah Palin
But this is extra good!

OUCH!
Teh Obama administration is ten times as bad as the Nixon administration but the liberals don’t care about corruption in the government when their messiah is behind the scandals.
That’s gonna leave a mark.
What a great SLAM on Hussein!
Yet the president obviously has no intention of seriously investigating or punishing anyone in any meaningful way.
And the media has no intention of being allies in a just outcome.
So this is it - will we remain a representative republic, a country of laws not of men, or will we allow ourselves to be 'fundamentally transformed' as Obama promised?
What is the GOP prepared to do about it?
Best assessment yet. Bravo.
If you look at all these scandals and the time-line, this maybe why she didn't run, my guess is like many that spoke out, the Palin's have been audited up the Ying-Yang just like all the hundreds of people and organizations started to get harassed and they are too private to say so...
Haven’t numerous folks right here said the same thing?
Hockey Mom!
Maybe it was better that Willard was the Sacrificial lamb instead of a real conservative :\
Who, precisely, is going to enforce the laws broken by this administration, and how? There is no mention of Kathleen Sibelius in this “hat trick.” Hat trick? Try a basketball score instead.
Our next President.
Please,God.
Slap, slap, SLAP!!!
Yes, of course.
The big difference is that she has a much greater audience than any of us.
What her name means....
* Sarah, from the Hebrew, Princess...
* Heather, means renowned fighter
* Heath, her maiden name means; from the outer lands.
* Palin, means who will serve at the table.
So she is The Princess who is a renowed fighter, from the outerlands, who will serve at the Table.
I don't know what G_d has in store for her, but with a name like that, great things come to mind...
Amen to that,td.
