Palin on Ukraine: I told you so
CNN ^ | February 28th, 2014 05:36 PM ET

(CNN) - Sarah Palin may be having a bragging rights moment.

In 2008, when she was the GOP vice presidential nominee, Palin questioned in a speech whether then-Sen. Barack Obama would have the foreign policy credentials to handle a scenario in which Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine.

"After the Russian army invaded the nation of Georgia, Senator Obama's reaction was one of indecision and moral equivalence – the kind of response that would only encourage Russia's Putin to invade Ukraine next," she said in Reno, Nevada on October 21, 2008.

The former Alaska governor was happy to highlight her prediction on Friday and scold those who criticized her 2008 comments.

October 2012: obama chides Romney: "The 1980s are calling, they want their foreign policy back"

Hey Mr. President, the 70s are calling. They want their foreign policy back.

I think we’ll need a woman to win in 2016 anyway, but I would love to hear the words “President Palin” in January, 2017. A few more “I told you so” opportunities just might be enough to counter the MSM and giver her a shot.

Consider the source. Bernie has never abandoned his commie-lib CBS roots. He occasionally makes conservative noises in order to sell bioks, but cracks such as this one about Palin show his true leanings. IMHO, of course.

You said...
“So whatever one thinks of Palin, it’s clear Obama is less qualified.”

So true.
And we are paying the price for this inept presidency

Everything Sarah Palin has said has come true, Russia invading Ukraine, death panels, saying we need to drill for oil etc.

this woman needs to be president

and the news media smears this woman and installs a socialist named Obama as president

and one day, down the road the media is going to have to deal with the fact that Sarah Palin was right, about everything.

Not a chance in hell of that happening. Putin can do whatever the hell he wants with the Ukraine, and the media will still flush Palin's warning down the memory hole.

The media will always protect Obama. They don't really give a damn about the facts.

I Guess Putin’s actions today not only proved that Sarah Palin was right.It also proved that She’s a hell of a lot smarter than the clown in the White House.

Oh I know they will never apologize to her but it was nice to dream, to hope that the media would have just an ounce of decency left in their bodies but they don’t..they are vermin, they put this woman through hell for the past five years calling her every horrific name in the book for speaking the TRUTH and guess what, everything she has said has turned out to be accurate..bet they can’t stand that fact, so instead they will ignore what is going on, say Obama is doing a good job and talk about something else, like a bridge, or some BS war on women

Those remnants are obviously not Americans anymore...they have zero love of country.

And they will have to be defeated someday, and men and women like Sarah Palin will be the leaders of that defeat.

Palin will only get better with age, and she has a long time left to grow. Along with many others who are relatively young still.

A repeat of the Carter Administration would have been a best case scenario.
