Obama Official: Netanyahu Waiting for ‘President Palin’

The Netanyahu government’s attitude to the United States shows it is “waiting for President [Sarah] Palin, an Obama official reportedly told Peter Beinart, writing for the Atlantic Monthly news site. Palin was the Republican candidate for vice president two years ago and is considered a front-running candidate for the next presidential election in 2012.

“As an Obama official once told me about the Netanyahu team, with amazement, ‘these guys are actually waiting for President Palin,’” wrote Beinart, a senior political writer for The Daily Beast and associate professor of journalism and political science at City University of New York.

In a critical article noting that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and senior government officials preach to the chorus of right-wing and Christian fundamentalist groups in the United States,

The howls of disapproval amongst the ocean of politically clueless suggests the media and SNL have destroyed her chances. SNL, that bastion of Liberal intellectualism...

Yep. I didn't say it was an accurate job...just a masterful one...

[SoConPubbie]

Agree completely. I would love for her to be president but I don't see it happening. The left did a masterful job of demonizing her to the majority of the stupid public.

Apparently you two weren't around when Reagan got elected, either time.

The media ALSO did a masterful job of demonising him and he won convincingly twice, and then there is the hatchet job they did on GWB.

Seems our memories are short around here.

At this point, I’d be happy with “President Just-about-anyone-who-isn’t-0bama.”

[visualops]

exactly. But the libtards are obsessed and think Palin.

"It ain’t worth arguing with the deluded. My own opinion is that Palin is not very electable, but I strongly admire her, and as an outsider harassing the left she has at least 5x the value she would have as, say, VP. The way she makes liberal heads explode is just a thing of perpetual beauty.

Agree completely. I would love for her to be president but I don't see it happening. The left did a masterful job of demonizing her to the majority of the stupid public."

It goes without saying that included in the "left" that did a masterful job demonizing SP to the majority of the stupid public was the media.

Their job was made easier by the fact that the stupid public was stupid enough to vote for Obama.

If Obama can get his sorry butt elected, So can Palin...

Sarah's butt is not sorry.

I was around but it was different. Reagan almost beat Ford in the 76 primaries. Palin is not polling anywhere near where she needs to be to win the ‘12 nomination nuch less beat Obamarx. Listen, I hope I am wrong. I think she would be fantastic. I just don’t think she can get elected right now. Perhaps 2016 if it’s open...

[Dryman]

From this headline to God’s flatscreen monitor!

You stole my thoughts. The Establishment, the media, the Ivory Tower and everyone else demonized Reagan before, during and after his presidency. Palin is much like Reagan in that she simply doesn't care what people say about her. She has a vision for this country and she is not afraid to reach for it. Just like Bibi! Courage is a relatively rare commodity these days...

[April Lexington]

I stand corrected. Bad grammar! Palin’s butt is anything but sorry!

She's two years out for crying out loud and consistently polling in the pack of front runners for the GOP nomination

She'll do fine.

Line formed.

And their treatment of GWB was even worse and he still won two terms!

Furthermore, expecting the media to go light on a POTUS candidate that is an actual conservative who also resonates with the base like Sarah Palin does, is a fools errand.

If you are expecting to find somebody who won't have the media attack them and they are conservative, I've got an Island to sell you.

Aren’t we all?

Bibi is a very smart man.

[April Lexington]

No need for an island here. Campaigns are war. The Democrats always elect losers as POTUS. JFK, LBJ, Carter, Clinton and now this joke. Certainly we can elect someone as passionately conservative as Palin. Its OUR JOB to get her elected.

[sportutegrl]

If G-d chooses to bless America with President Palin, then she will be president. Polls don’t mean a thing.

I agree!

[Caipirabob]

Seems we’re al wandering in the desert together until then. At least it’s good company.

[HighlyOpinionated]

Netanyahu ... isn't the only one ... Waiting for ‘President Palin’!

He's also waiting for Anyone Except Obama.

Bibi, we know exactly how you feel.
