You can’t slam someone for doing what you ask them to do. I think she did a great job here. If Obama drops the ball, as he will, Sarah can jump on him and have the credibility of having been objective. If Sarah never takes the highroad then she is just going to come off as a bitter person and you can not win hearts and minds by being bitter.
Your right. Down the road when Obama is proven to be a total failure on this issue, she can come back and say “Well, I was being objective and I gave him a chance but he blew it”
