(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."
Polls indicate that most Americans believe the award was given to the president prematurely. In his remarks, Obama acknowledged the controversy as he accepted the esteemed international prize after less than a year in the White House.
"I receive this honor with deep gratitude and great humility," Obama said in the speech. "Compared to some of the giants of history who have received this prize ... my accomplishments are slight."

who cares what you think u classless idiot!
Oh, please Sarah Palin thumbing through her ghost-written book and comparing herself to Obama. Obama's speech was brilliant and spot-on. He's showing the potential to be one of our greatest leaders. I am eager to see us leave Afghanistan as quickly as possible, but this was the necessary one of Bush's two wars, and we do need to stay awhile. Bush might have had a chance of accomplishing something resembling victory had he not launched an unnecessary war of choice in Iraq. Seems like dim bulb Palin just doesn't get it.
Oh, I have so much to say, but in honor of President Obama's Nobel Peace Prize I'll keep my thoughts to myself. "If you don't have anything good to say..." – my mother.
The Alaska hillbilly speaks again. She does have a point though, President Obama learned that torture and illegal wars are not liked by the rest of the world. No she may go away.
Does anyone really think that President Obama paraprhased Sarah Palin?
God forbid our President become more like his predecessor.
So She is saying that She was in favor of the NO WMD war that cost American Taxpayers 10 BILLION A MONTH?
Wait, so Sarah Palin implied that Obama is getting talking points from her book, and then said that Obama needs to be more like W.?
Is she serious?
Clearly you do, that's why you read this and then commented. Another brilliant lib.
She continues to be an idiot but it's nice that she kind of tried to give President Obama a compliment
Maybe these comments are part of the republican strategy to make Obama look like Bush.
Palin - Ya just do not know when to shut up.
The American public, by a poll of 80 to 20% , think YOUR favorite President and V. Pres. (Bush & Cheney) are and were blantant liars, arrogant fools, and hypocritical to the core.
You know, I hope she does not go away like everyone says... Reading her comments are my jokes for the day.
Here is the real sad thing, there are a lot of people in the country that believe what comes out of her mouth.
Being "praised" by Palin is about as complimentary as being loved by Ted Bundy.
A fifty dollar bill being complimented by a nickel. This man does not need the comments, or the compliments from this empty dress. Do the right thing Palin, go away and finally realize you are doing the country a favor by doing so..
Thumb through your book? Proves that you obviously didn't write it if you had to "refer" back to it. Second, nice try but the President did not and has no plans of reading your fictional cliff-notes book.
Not another Palin moment!
Since when has Palin become prominent, CNN?
She'll be prominent after she holds the governorship of a state for more than 2.5 years, and keeps that seat until the end of a term in office.
She needs to find a brain and a place to put one. Obama taking things out of her book? Hahahahahah.....
Why wasn't she praising Bush during the campaign? And why wasn't Bush priasing Palin? Both thought the ither TOXIC. Now she is singing a different tune.
She didn't even know what the Bush doctrine was and now she suddenly is an expert on Bush policies.
Palin just loves to hear herself talk.
A word hasn't been created yet that can adequately describe the stupidity that is Palin.
to bad sarah and her husband live in seperate rooms and she supported the bridge to nowhere and she does not know the world globe.....U go Girl.....lol
Finally a bit of intelligence from the bimbo.......however........George Bush was a fear monger and that is what he was good at......he kept his citizens in fear, day in and day out so they would not question what he and his administration did and slowly they took away civil rights and THEY got us into the war with Iraq which should never have happened and they took their eye of Afghanistan, which is where the problem was. Obama now has to clean up their mess and get us out of both of these conflicts....................George Bush was the worst president of our country!!
'Wow! That really sounded familiar.' because I talked in book too about the fallen nature of man and why war is necessary at times."
Sounds like something from Thomas Hobbes, I'm somewhat impressed.
President Obama is a great man. The world knows it, and someday the Republicans will know it.
Don't hold your collective breath though, they're a little stubborn and very, very, slow.
P.S.
How many times have you heard a Republican say they were on the wrong side of the Civil Rights Movement. Well, after fifty years, they finally get that civil rights is a GOOD THING. I told you they were slow.
Who cares what Palin thinks (if we can call what Palin thinks "thinking", which is a stretch)?
Sarah...you actually understood what he said?
Nice to see that Sarah is at last making some sense. She still tried to put some spin on the whole reaction to the speech. I think that maybe she is learning a little bit about how things work. Who knows maybe she will finally figure it all out. Maybe someday.
I should hold my tongue but McCain truly hated the United States when he wanted this bimbo to be his VP running mate. Any respect I had for the ex pow went out the door. As far as you rightwing neocon cowards are concerned the nearest recruiting office can use you sorry asses as cannon fodder instead of those real americans who put up.
Get lost you wingnut idiot! Why cant the media stop reporting what this un american woman has to say! UGGGGG!
Do you guys really have to report on every last word she says about any and everything?
Wow Sarah is truly delusional if she "thinks" Obama took anything from her book. She is such a child, very immature. she didn't mean what she said as a compliment.
So, Palin liked what Obama said because it reminded her of what she said in her book... or, that is, what her ghostwriter said she might have said had she been able to say something coherent. And she wishes Obama honored our troops more like Bush did... by, say, rushing into a war with a nation that didn't attack us and posed no threat. What an epic half-wit.
"President Obama (should) follow more closely in the footsteps of George Bush ... his passion for respecting – honoring our troops."
So Sarah you mean like honoring our troops by censoring the media and censoring Americans' ability to view the coffins of our fallen soldiers? Is that the way a President should honor our troops? Perhaps to Sarah they no longer matter as they are DEAD.
WHO cares if she liked or not.
The media got to stop publishing/airing whatever she utters- basically nonsense!!!
There is war/ health care/economy ...pl. cover that NOT Palin- the dummy.
DO NOT insult the readers covering her 24/7.
Oh. So CNN doesn't want to post my comment that opposes the Obama ites. Well, thank you for showing me your true colors.
Palin is correct...again. More Americans share Palin's ideology than Obama's . Palin is a TRUE AMERICAN.
Hey Liberals, you all KNOW it is a joke that Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize.
Sarah Palin has no shame. Her book was ghost-written, but that hasn't stopped her from trying to take credit, in some manner, for parts of President Obama's speech.
Most Americans like me don't care that Palin liked the president's speech.
P.S.
she should get a life.
What Bush did was 1. Be negligent and let 9/11 happen and 2. Use fear to manipulate people afterward. That's not admirable.
Sarah Palin is such a great conservative... except where she has a job, an opinion, isn't pregnant or otherwise contradicts traditional female characteristics in a patriarchal world.
Let we never forget her explanation for having international experience, "I can see Russia from my house."
There are a million better conservative women that are capable of embodying the core values of religious capitalism, er Conservatism. Please find a replacement.
S M R, get you facts strait! They are talking about Afganistan!
Sara Palin , you may be articulate and a lot of people find you fascinating but the real truth is, you are a joke.
Obama is not George Bush ,thanks God he is not.
If I have a magic wand, I will you make disappear.
Somebody put a muzzle on Palin, Cheney, and Rove PLEASE!!!
Hey, she wrote it first in her book so she is now saying she should get the Peace Prize right!!!!
This is what my mother would call "a left-handed compliment!"
Its nice to see the fringe far-right agreeing with the right thing for once.
I like how she keeps bringing up her book. It's obvious she's in it for the money.
when asked if he would read Palin's book, President Obama said:
"I probably will not', but I wish her well, you know. It looks like she's going to do very well without my readership."
While disturbed, I'm not surprised that Sarah Palin would insinuate Obama lifted that from her prattle...
Sarah,,,,Sarah,,,,,Sarah!!! (it's sort of hard to get her attention when cameras are around). Sarah!!!! Please exit stage left,,,,,nobody is asking your opinion (at least nobody that anybody should be taking seriously). Please leave the adults to run the country.
Of course Sarah had to page through her book to find the content, because she didn't say it, and she didn't write it... just sounded familiar! Counting the ways that this woman makes a fool of herself is a full time job.
Way to sell your book you classless, mindless freak.
Obama paraphrasing Palin. You just can't make this stuff up.
I think the lack of volume of comments on here shows the interest for Palin is dissipating....
Next!
or.....maybe she's someone telling the truth because OUR President has finally spoken like an an American.....not an international apologist
He can learn a lot from former President Bush. He can learn to do nothing that Bush did.
Dear Aspen Professor,
Though you say they were "liars to the core" , your president Oblamya is now following the Bush Doctrine pretty much to the letter.
He can learn a lot from former President Bush. He can learn exactly what not to do.
If you think Pres. Obama sounds like W you are tone deaf.
Is Palin trying to elevate herself to the Obama level? What a tragedy she feels qualified to comment on a deep thinking and eloquent President.
I laughed when I read this. "We need a president more like George W. Bush!" Now we know she doesn't plan to run for office.
I'd rather be an Alaskan hillbilly than an Anaheim flatlander urby-dweller loser. Palin earned her stripes and has lived a normal life unlike your savior messiah Obama who has virtually no experience for the job whereas Palin is more than qualified.
She "thumbed" through her book just like she "thumbed" through writing it. If she has written the book – no "thumbing" necessary.
She thumbed through a book! Good job Sarah, Good Job! Yes it was. Yes it was. A goo goo goo.
Palin's comments are a sad testament to her lack of ability to think for herself and say something original. What an opportunist! And a bad one at that! I hope Tiger had the good sense to stay away from her!
This low qualified person really should listen to some of the other wonderful things that the President had to say over the past couple of years. Maybe she should be quoting some of his things. She lives, she has a life and she is a dope.
Did she mean tell them mission accomplished and then years later after more fighting let the next guy pick up the pieces and tell them we have more work to do? What an air head.
'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."'
Why does this woman feel the need to make EVERYTHING about her? If she wants to praise the speech, fine. Say, "It was a good speech, and I think there was a lot of good things in it, such as..." Don't make it seem like he got the idea from you; he didn't.
It's like those Windows 7 commercials where they people describe what they wanted then go, "Windows 7 was MY idea." No, it wasn't. Stop acting like it was and shut up.
you have to give your head a shake with comments like her's!!the president's speech this morning was on so early in edmonton, alberta but i did set my alarm so i too could take a little time to listen to such a uplifting awesome speech!we canadians really do care what happens south of the border. any more remarks about palin should not be said today.
Sarah Palin.....You go girl........The liberal extremists are running scared.
Also, it's amusing that she had to thumb through her book quickly to remember what was in it. Forgotten what your ghost-writer said already, Palin?
Palin is a sick woman, she's beyond help. She's fortunate enough to be good looking. It all ends there !!! Sarah, get a clue; Bush policies were voted OUT !!! Cronyism, corruption, lying to the American public to start a war with a country that did NOT attaqck us 9/11, and the worst economy since THE GREAT DEPRESSION, losing 700,000 a MONTH on Bush's way out of office !!!
You people do realize him winning the noble peace prize is a complete joke right?
Do you know his nomination was put in 2 weeks after he was in office. So in 2 weeks he did enough to win this prize? Really?
Dont know what he will do in the future and maybe someday he would have deserved it but them giving it to him now makes the award a complete joke.
2 Weeks? Really? The guy was still unpacking never mind saving the world.
if Obama starts acting more like Bush then we're all screwed. Although come to think of it, we're not that far from it right now...
Did Palin learn to read her own book to see that history and the Bible teaches us that war is in our make-up and sometimes inevitable when our safety and way of life are threatened?Does she know that the definition of traditional warfare changed in Afghanistan? If Obama can bring warring factions together to create peace, then mission accomplished. Perhaps the Nobel Committee acted on this broader definition and sees Opeace as the result of a strong American presence.
Sure war is sometimes justified. But the Taliban? ...A foreign government whose sole crime was not extraditing criminals to the US? Sounds like France.
We're not even fighting Al Qaeda anymore.
Sarah Palin has to flip through her own book to see what she wrote?
Oh, puh-lease, Ms. Palin. The more you speak out, the dumber you appear. Go take care of your offspring!
Awesome.. They ask her what she thought about the president speech, and she uses the opportunity to try and sell her book.. Basically saying that she already covered this, and you can own the information too for $19.99.. But wait.. there's more! If you order now, you'll her how much our current president needs to learn from our previous president who had a great approval rating, 106% approval rating at his lowest!!!!
Everything is about her isn't it?
Did Palin learn to read her own book to see that history and the Bible teaches us that war is in our make-up and sometimes inevitable when our safety and way of life is threatened? Does she know that the definition of traditional warfare changed in Afghanistan? If Americans can bring warring factions together or subdue the enemy, then mission accomplished. Perhaps the Nobel Committee acted on this broader definition and sees Obama as a peace agent and peace as the result of a strong American presence. Less cynicism! Give peace and Obama a chance.
Come on now...remember, she can see Russia out her window! She is the main reason I voted for Obama!
So nice to see all the ad-hominem's against someone who is actually complimenting "Dear Leader"
Frankly, I think Palin's being too generous, especially following President Obama's America bashing tour throughout this year.
And by the way for those of you still seething with anger over Iraq, we're still there aren't we? And we're ramping it up in Afghanistan. President Obama understands the importance of a victory in Iraq and Afghanistan and I appreciate that. It seems that some need to stop living in their heydays of 1960s, grow up, and start living in reality.
Oh Sarah please sales rep position vacant at Walmart.
Our president is an idiot. Nobel Peace Prize? Whatever.
Wake up people!
She had to "thumb through it" because she didn't actually write it (Lynn Vincent did).
well...
Obama was elected because he "wasn't Bush" so why would he start acting like him now? (although if Rahm E. or David A. told him to start acting like GWB he's probably do it.)
As if Sarah Palin's opinions matter!
She's nothing but a loose goose!
Where oh where is the lever I pull to make Sarah Palin go away?
Ms. Palin states she wishes President Obama would act more like George W. Bush, unarguably the most failed occupant the White House has ever seen.
This is an absolute indication of how out of touch Ms. Palin truly is. For anyone to suggest a person should act more like George W. Bush is a position so outrageous – so despicable – it defies even a ridiculous explanation.
I am sad for our country and the vile, vulgar influence people like Ms. Palin have on the country's weak-minded residents. I don't know what can be done to rid our country of the likes of Palin, Cheney, Kyl, Graham, McCain, Cornyn, Boehner, Bachus, King, ad nauseum. Their anti-American, anti-Human Rights, anti-everything but business postures are the bane of our society.
Sarah Palin is an example of why we should tell our prom queens and beauty pageant girls "You're not smart, only pretty. Stay pretty and let the smart kids do all the talking and decision-making." Instead of patting your pretty princess daughters on the head saying "Of course, you can do ANYthing darling! You're a pretty princess and pretty princesses are always right!" Because then they might grown up to be like Sarah palin... spoiled and stupid, and too spoiled and stupid to KNOW she's spoiled and stupid.
Well if YOU wrote the book Sara, then why would you have to go back and see what you "said"????????? I sincerely hope you just continue right on your path to RUSSIA, OR the MOON!! Why not take 200,000 of your MILLIONS, and take the ride into space! And while you are there, stop by the Space Station, and STAY THERE!!!!!
She is a much bigger nut case than I thought. Lord have mercy!!
Another ignorant comment by a pathetic woman. GO AWAY!
This woman is a nutjob, and anyone buying her book is one too!!
Not believing her for a moment. She's a textbook example of an opportunistic sociopath. Anything that comes out of her mouth is only to pad her pocket for the future or make her look good. She don't give one ioda about President Obama. Seriously, do you really buy anything nice she'd ever say with out seeing what she's got behind her back?
Has a pschologist checked out Palin head yet. Be more like Bush ah
Again, for the umpteenth time, who cares or is interested in
what Palin has to day about anyone or anything?
And, the media always, always,plays right into it.
,I hope with all my heart the grand GOP nominates her for 2012.
She won't even know shes in the race, shades of 2008.....
I cringe at how stupid you are Palin. "You thumbed through your book" and thought what Obama said sounded familiar? Obama, unlike you, has a brain and the ability to make a coherent sentence and paragraph. I highly doubt he says things that are found in your book.
Be more like his predecessor? You got your ass kicked in the election because you were like his predecessor. Or that's right you forgot that it was your stupidity and similarity to Bush that cost you the election. People wanted a change you dummy.
Learn to form a coherent point idiot.
Did she understand the words with more than two syllables? Enough!
President Obama is a saint; Republican or Democrat, ya gotta love his acceptance speech.
she had to thumb through it since she didn't write it.
yep her trashy mall book is about equivalent to obama's nobel prize speech ...
Bush might be able to give sound advise on how to get away and take vacations while serving as President....other than that I am not sure what W can offer ;0)
why can't an idiot like Sarah Palin just shut up and disappear ?
This is nothing more than damage control. Republicans realize they're starting to look bad when they disagree with obamas every move. Everything these people say is planned ahead of time.
There you liberals go mouthing off again. A lot of you are disrespectful. The woman was a Vice-President candidate and a govenor of one of our 50 great states of our country. A lot of you show your lack of class when addressing her or making comments about her.
This former govenor of the United States of America agreed with our president of the United States and you bash her for it? You make yourselves sound completely uneducated (some of you probably are).
Our president said during his campaign he wanted to be partisan. Now we have republicans acknowledging and agreeing with our president and you bash them for the sole fact of agreeing with our president? A lot of you do not make any sense.
CNN is becoming as big of a joke as Sarah Palin already is. You guys just don't know when to quit, do you? If you knew what was good for you, you'd stop reporting about Sarah Palin, and be more serious about the news. Sarah Palin is news we can't use. Unless you're becoming a propagandest station like Fox?
This is not praise. "I liked what he said" followed by he said something I said, and he should be more like George Bush...how is that considered praise?
CNN, why must you continue to report everything that Mrs. Palin says? I'm not saying not to cover her. I'm saying cover her when she actually makes news.I can't figure out if you think she's important or you're trying to make her important.
Did Mrs. Palin know what the Bush Doctrine was?
"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."
OK Palin puppets. This is code for go buy my book. Or if you bought with no hopes of ever reading it...please read it!
Who give a flying flip about what this bimbo thinks? She has already proven herselfas sore loser, quitter, dumb as dirt, and will sellout to the highest bidder!
Who does Sarah Palin think she's fooling? Only the dim lights who worship her! There isn't a single thing the President could learn from George W Bush. Someone should inform Sarah Palin that to compare herself to the President is ludicrous! She couldn't pass the LSAT if her life depended on it and getting into Harvard Law School or Columbia University is completely out of the question. She is clueless.
"I thumbed through my book quickly this morning" - LOL. It's so hard to remember what you didn't write.
Palin insinuating that President Obama first read her book and then took points from it for his acceptance speech is beyond shocking.
Hey, don't knock it. However twisted and backhanded, it was the first positive thing any republican has said since the inauguration. Let's take it for what it is, a tiny step in the right direction.
Sarah Palin says President Obama needs to be more like W? One reason President Obama was elected was he is the opposite of George Bush. I have tried to understand why anyone supports Palin. Her behavior in the last presidential election has shown her for the un-informed, under-educated, overly-religious and mean-spirited person that she is. She gives women in politics a bad name.
Who cares what a quitter says?
I'm sure glad that CNSarah is here to let us know everyday that she is around. When her star finally sizzles who will CNN deliver to us?
CNN why don't you change your name to the Palin network...if she wipes her ass you will report it.
And Sarah Palin could learn something from Sesame Street!
A reluctant and qualified compliment is slightly better than an insincere and ill-infomed criticism, but hey nobody's perfect. Sarah is not seriously considering a run for president, but she is seriously pursuing the financial and popular benefits of running for president.
Sarah..I highly doubt President Obama would say anything remotely resembling your word salad! You should have just stopped when you stated 'hat you like what he said. You did not need to interject yourself or your beliefs into this matter because, guess what???? It's NOT ABOUT YOU!
She had to thumb through her book because she didn't write it herself......
hahaha, Palin recalls seeing something in that book of hers about the necessity of war, "thumbs through it," finds it and proclaims, "Hey! I said that, too!"
Why does anybody care what Former Temporary Governor Sarah Palin thinks? She's the best thing to happen to the Democratic Party in years.
You people are insane your nastiness and hatefullness will continue to eat you alive while Sarah Palin is living her dream and enjoying her family. What a bunch of left wing nut jobs. Hatred is your MO
I hope the Aspen Professor is not from Colorado. How embarassing... Most libs are so illogical and can't seem to grasp reality. I think it is good that she can admit when she does agree with Obama. I probably disagree with 95% of what he is doing to our country, economy, troops and the terrorists in Gitmo. But if he made a decent speech I can give him credit without having to bash someone else who may have liked it. I also agree with his support of charter schools, but not on taking away vouchers that were working well.
People on the left really need to think critically and let there blind illogical hatred of Bush go.
We had the Warmongering Vanilla Bush and now we have a War Mongering Chocolate Bush! So much for change, it's just a different flavor with the same bankrupt results. The Usa can't help itself, welcome to the new roman empire(just before the collapse).
So, now Sarah Palin thinks that Obama speaks like she did in her phony book? LOL. The woman not only delusional, but ther seems to be no limit to that enormous ego of hers.
Oh, and someone needs to remind that foolish woman that most Americans, along with ALL of the world are very happy that we have seen the last of George W and his cronies...at least for the foreseeable future.
Yeah, he copied Palin. That is all he does is copy other speakers' words...well, almost; he reads his teleprompter pretty faithfully too. hahahaha. And they say Palin is not too bright.
Alaska's finest must be soooo envious. The president's speech was long on intelligent thought, had substance, and was delivered in a coherent monologue the likes that she could only dream of. Too bad she'll have to go up against him if she decides that she wants to run in 2012.
What did he do to earn a Nobel Peace Prize???? Can anyone tell me that??? Who were the other nominees... snoopy and charlie brown??? It is like giving Tiger Woods the father of the year award! Obama has done nothing so far as President expect play golf and take vacations! Oh by the way.. Palin is going no where.. she may actually be your President in 2012.. hell we were dumb enough to vote Obama in... gotta love all those tax breaks we have gotten! *Sarcasm* Health bill is a great idea... gonna cost tax payers 1 trillion dollars over 10 years.. oh yea it is worth it! *Sarcasm* You should have to take a test to vote! Obama didn't even write his own speech for crying out loud... he is a tele-prompter that has other people write what he tells the world.... so sad!
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."
Wait, so Sarah Palin invented the idea of man's fall? I could have sworn it was from something else.
Can't believe that amount of times this women has said something extremely unintelligent and yet women around the country still love her. I makes me fear for the future of this country.
Sarah the quitter will be signing her coloring book in Anchorage...on a military base where she'll be protected from those evil "liberals" who may have protest signs. She's also a coward who won't face up to criticism or dissent.
He's wrong. War is NOT necessary. As a Christian, there is no reason for War. It means that you have judged and condemned. Two things we are not qualified to do.
She probably did not read the speech but only says what her political team tells her to say... She is dumb... A dumb with ambition!
Sarah Palin has been trying to calculate her moves and this compliment she has given to President Obama is a perfect example. I have come to believe that Sarah Palin really thinks she has a moving force behind her which is prompting her to most likely run for President in 2012. In reality though Palin and her "drivng force" are just plain idiots. By the way Sarah, isn't a good political move to say that our current president should be more like the previous (who had one of lowest approval rating in history). Oh, I forget though, that is just you going rogue.
This is all real funny because the speech was written by
Gerson, Wehner, and Theissen. Booosh's speech writers!
Why must you print Ms. Palin's opinions? She's just so irrelevant!
I am just sick of CNN appealing to the least informed among us. All that you need to know to understand this story is "Sarah Palin does not usually like Obama".
What about covering the rest of what Obama said? I for one felt that it was thought provoking, intelligent and honest, it one of his best speeches. It renewed my belief that America has elected the right man for President.
A prominent republican? That is so funny! Who cares what this dumb idiot says? She does not know what to say, and CNN continues to quote this woman. YUK! This has been a great day for our President, do not blow it with this idiot. Learn from BUSH???? Stupid fool!
Sara Palin, can you just go away. Your kids need you.
Do you liberals ever stop complaining? Will you all ever have a nice day as long as conservatives exist anywhere in the world?
"Aspen Professor" – why do you think anyone gives a whit about anything a 'Colorado professor' has to say, versus the intelligent, principled and highly capable Palin. You struggle trying to build a snowman. Now put on your parka and go out and try again!
How the media continues to promote this neophite is beyond me.
McCain got the ball rolling on this nitwit and the media continues to make it grow. She is a joke and will always be a joke. Please run for President in 2012. The 20% of the electorate that felt Bush was doing a great job need someone they can count on to push the neo con, fascist, war mongering agenda.
Look at the libs screeching and contorting anytime someone says "Palin".
Its almost like playing the game "boo" with children.
LOL
Palin is coiling up like the snake she is. Watch out Obama!
Sarah Palin had something nice to say, watch your back.
Oh Joy! Sarah Palin agrees with what President Obama said in his speech. We can all sleep better now.
It's comical to read what these liberal idiots on CNN's site continually spout. They try to say that every problem in the Universe is Bush's fault. They just don't get it. Well... Bush was no hero, just a man caught in a difficult position. Perhaps he was a poor President and urguably the worst we've seen in a while, but I'm sure that he's happy to see that he's now not the worst President we've ever had. Obama certainly takes that prize in every category. The only people that disagree are the irresponsible citizens that benefit from from his 'reward the moron' policies. To admit that you're a Democrat now is to simply hold your hand out to take from those few of us that actually make a contribution to our society. Socialism is great... until you run out of people to take money from.
will the real Sarah Palin please SHUT UP!!!
Who cares what the babbling fool Sarah Palin.had to say about Pres. Obama's award.
We finilee got a prezidint thats is smartar then I am!!!!!
Sandra... please look for a job...really!
Frankly, it should be obvious they are playing good cop/bad cop with us. Obama might be marginally better for the environment and our "feelings", but he's still strangling us all with his ties to bing banks.
He also mentioned the wheel and the airplane. What page are those on?
Who cares what palin has to say!!! I cant belive the people fall for this stuff!! And to say that Obama needs to learn from Bush is so dumb, it really says alot about this women, who is out theres simply for fame and money. Obama is far superior than George W. Bush, the man responsible for the past economic mess-I am a moderate republican who will contimue to support our president,.
Im sure at any monent Sarah will burst out with some comment like..."What would Jesus do?" bored with it ....get a job Sarah!
A "good speech" does not a good leader make.
Palin-2012 Please hurry
Prof- you might want to check some other polls. More and more Americans are waking up to the clear understanding that this administration has stretched the truth and all out lied about many important points. While I'm not comparing this administration to the past, I can say that this administration is putting us on a crash course for uncertainty.
Why do I even click on the Palin stories?
hed be a great world leader but as for an american leader not convinced! he dosnt follow the USA constitution. you cant hold 2 offices and he heads up a international committee as well as predsident of usa. Americans prove they are lazy and dont even understand the constitutiion instead make way for there own personal opinion and lean on whatever someone they respect tells him or her and continue to point fingers and help foster a society with out morals or The God of Abrahams law in which we were founded on. oh you drones rather than the following the constitution you spit on it the very thing that made us great !good bye america get ready to be assimilated into the new world order Obama is just a pawn. welcome to sodom and gomora world.
Its funny that according to major polls that both Palin and Obama have the same approval rating basically across the board.
I'm pleased that Sarah Palin liked what the president had to say when accepting his award. However, to even hint that his speech sounded like something from her book is an assbackwards way of calling him a plagerist and also makes me wonder how and why she was asked for her opinion of his speech. Do Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh have bench seats along with other right wing conservatives hanging on Sarah's every word right outside her door in view of Russia?
she thumbled through her book!
Can she puh-leeze just get her talk show on Fox? It's the only thing she's actually qualified to do.
Why does the media care what Sarah Palin thinks? She's is no longer a governor because of her own doing. She is not smart or intelligent as she's shown Americans over and over again in countless interviews. She talks at dizzying speed and most of it does not make sense. She is old news already!
Oh my god ... I can't stop laughing. Palin and the media that gives her the light of day are a joke. So, according to Palin, President Obama is using talking points from Palin's book. This woman is delusional.
Can we stop talking about this private citizen? CNN, surely, there is something important going on that needs to be discussed, she is not it.
Sounds like Palin is accusing Obama of plagiarizing her book.
Why is it that even when Sarah Palin thinks she's saying something smart she always sounds like a complete ignorant idiot? This woman seems to believe all the hype surrounding her without taking a close look at the source of the hype... other like minded, ignorant, Americans. Her opinions do not matter to me. She is useless and an embarrassment to Americans!!!
President Obama, keep making us proud! Your sophistication and intelligence is exemplary. Qualities all Americans should strive for.
Why do they keep reporting what she says and does. She is such a moron, disgrace to women.
This has got to be a joke, right?
Who is the reporter that keeps asking her what she thinks?
Why, why do you CNN subject us to this lady? Please have mercy on us.
Oh you just wait!! 3 years from now, he'll be unbeatable!!
Wrong Sarah – Mr. Obama is cleaning up the mess that W. left us with. W. had to "remind us every day" because fear appeals to ignorance and that was the only way his administration could muster support. Mr. Obama spoke with humility and recognized there is much to do. W. never showed humility, only arrogance (mission accomplished?). I seriously doubt that Mr. Obama learned his perspective on the world and human kind by reading your extra 15 minutes of fame ghost written novel.
Somewhere in Alaska a village is missing its idiot.
"...(B)ecause I talked in book too about the fallen nature of man."
With apologies to David Sedaris, "Palin talk pretty someday."
Lest we forget, 9/11 happened on the Bush administration's watch. The Bush/Cheney cabal ignored intelligence suggesting an attack was imminent. For Palin to suggest Obama become more like Cowboy George shows her ongoing ignorance of global affairs. The woman is downright scary.
watching CNN is like watching FOX these days,who really cares what Palin thinks.Even Jack Cafferty now speaks like Glen Beck ratings must be killing them.l just hope they return to the old CNN.
Obama is a great speaker....a Republican when it comes to War....a Democrat with it comes to healthcare....a crazyman when it comes to the budget.
Has she not finished talking yet!?! Can't the Republicans come up with something better than that?
i am sure obama, wasnt looking for praise or words from palin. why does she like chaney have to comment on everything obama does? nobody in thier right mind wants to hear thier ramblings. yeah he should be more like bush that left office with like a 13 point approval rating, cause he and chaney were liars among other things
Obama getting the nobel peace prize is a joke.
Obama is an idiot and I don't care what he thinks.
I wish he'd shut up.
Oh, please! Obama didn't write his acceptance speech. He has speechwriters. You can bet your liberal butt that his book was ghost written just like Palin's, just like Hillary's, just like any other of these "celebrity" politicians. Get real.
Good grief.
Why must we be subject to Ms. Palin's inane babblings.
I am tired of this...
Since when Sara Pailn talk favorably about the president. She does not need to praise the president for his Nobel Prize acceptance speech. She cannot compare herself to the president for the vision and the hope he brings to revive the country. She should take a lesson from the president to deliver a heart felt vision and hope for our country. Her assertion the president should act like George Bush is ludicrous. The hope and vision of both people are completely different and see the world from different perspective. Mr. Bush did nor believe in dialogue but if you do not listen to us we will get you. President Obama believes in dialogue, talking to you adversaries face to face. Also be tough to convey to his adversaries that strong measures will be taken if they harm our country. He has the same pride for our troops as every American citizen and is very much concerned the lives that we are losing. So Mrs. Palin do not discount the presidents patriotism. She says she talked about the fallen nature of man and war is necessary at times and she is trying to take credit that she wrote about this in her book. I think she should continue selling her book and stop from putting her ill advised comments about the presidents vision and hopes. GOD BLESS. Merry Christmas.
HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! Don't be silly Sarah he read your book and use your words.
Palin is the right stuff.
In over 6 decades on this planet, I've noticed that the morally centered, generally, have little intellect while the intellectually centered, generally, have little morality.
Couldn't both categories stop pointing their fingers and wagging their tongues and for a moment, make an effort to grasp where the other is coming from?
if u really penned the book would you really have to read it to see what you said????
Awarding President Obama with the Nobel Peace Prize may have been a little premature, but I agree with the Nobel committee in their justification for choosing him. In these times in which we sit grappled with fear over the collapse of virtually everything, the entire world looks to America for leadership and at the helm of the flagship is President Obama. He has given us all a reason to hope and inspires us to affect change ourselves- at least with me anyway. Can you think of anyone else who has been this influential lately? Certainly not Sarah Palin, promoting her book so shamelessly like that. You'd think she'd have a little more tact for a hunter.
mrs. dumb palin isn't a nice person at all. she promotes animal cruelty, she's anti-choice, anti-gay, doesn't believe in evolution and uses people. i wish the media would stop to talk about everything she says, because even though she's always criticizing it, she uses it to her advantage. she's dangerous because she's stupid and doesn't know what she talks about and a lot of nuts and ignorant people believe in what she says. She's only doing those facebook postings to make controversy and make money on top of that. She wants to be famous, have a talk show and etc. She's nothing more than those reality stars losers milking their 15 min. of fame. mrs. dumb plain why don't you stay in alaska and go suck on some ice
.
CNN..please stop giving this "celebrity" a forum.
Thanks!
~The American People
Obama is ten times better than bush,
her stupid comment alone speaks for itself.
No one should listering to this brain wash woman .
Absolutely President Obama learned something from Bush: diplomacy works better than torturing people and going in "guns a blazin'".
CNN needs to keep the Palin stories going because it's the only thing keeping the ratings up.
So President Obama delivers a speech to the world and accepts an honour he never sought and the lead in CNN's blog is a nonstory about Sarah Palin. Pathetic.
Sarah Palin should be ashamed of herself as a human being for putting the lives of millions of people at risk with the absurd notion she is anywhere qualified to be the President of the United States.
why do democrats think they have to always bash Sarah Palin........could it be she may be a threat to their liberal socialist ways.
when is someone going to tell this nightmare that she is no longer needed to comment on anything....they lost....or did she somehow not understand that?.....go away....
This woman is such a moron. President Obama is 'light years ' ahead of Sarah Palin. The idea that she could have a thought like him is a joke. Who is she kidding ? LOL
It's a mystery why Sarah "It's Too Hard to be Governor of an Unimportant State and I'm a Quitter" Palin's opinion is still news. Hey CNN? Why even report on this? Hello?
Palin suggested Obama could learn a few things from former President Bush.
He did and so did America so we elected him president. He learned a lot from a terrible example.
She really would do the republican party a lot of good if she would just stop talking. Aghanistan was not an illegal war, that was the location of our enemy at the time of 9/11. Bush screwed it up bigtime when he just had to go after Iraq and not finish the job. But Afghanistan is completely justified, and those who want to pull out now must not care about the reputation of America at all. Abandoning those people would be about the most selfish thing we could do. The minister of defense in afghanistan has great hope that his country can be liberated of the tyrannous rule of the taliban. and obama has made the good decision to try and do something to help the Afghans.
Shut up Sarah you nattering nabob of nothingism!
Palin and Newt Gingrich PRAISING Obama?! is today opposite day?! :O
Sarah Palin, if she were to become president, would be the worst thing to have ever happened to this great nation. I pray to God that the voters are never fooled by her insanity.
God forbid that Obama take adivce from a Bush. It would hurt this country even more. Obama is the Best President everrrrrrrrrr.
has anybody in alaska asked any eskimo about climate change? please somebody give me a link to eskimos, i will like them to attend the copenhagen summit.
on palin, please someone should tell her to shut up and get a job, any job.
Of course, she is praising Obama in order to praise herself, why else would she make a comment? As always, it is all about her and how she can try to make herself sound good. Keep trying Sarah, until you learn a little bit about humbleness and humility.
Darn darn darn another Palin quote...I told you – soon you'll change the name of CNN to PALIN. Ted Turner wants his network back. No wonder.
War? What do you know about war, Sarah? That's what I thought.
can you call a woman a tool?
Who cares what Sarah Palin says, does or thinks??
"My god ! is this woman serious? to follow in the footsteps of bush is akin to revisting the scene of the crime.
This woman needs to hire a spokes person, if she's going to persist in spurting diatribe she might as well have someone 'edit' her mouth.
It is so funny. Most of the people posting their writings here (the same people all the time) say "Who cares about Palin???" Obviously, they care about Palin, the American woman, the American Mom who liberals are afaid of.......Otherwise, they would ignore her.
It's great to see hardly anybody, besides this disgruntled Alaskan, even cares what the crazy former governor lady even thinks, much less take the time to comment. So many issues are much more important, like deciding what to buy the dog for Christmas...
-Randy
If she'd actually written the book, why did she have to thumb through it to know that Obama said something similar to what she wrote? Realistically, the ghost writer probably called her and said: "hey, Obama said something similar to what you said; you should try to exploit this for personal political gain, since that's all you care about."
I suppose Sarah Palin should be president of the United States now because of this.
Did anyone fact check what she said? If she said that, then she is an idiot.
When in the name of God did Bush become something to aspire to? The man should be in a home for those too stupid to exist in society.
Oh my what is wrong with this woman she writing notes now and she couldn't name what periodicals she reads
Poor– poor idiots. They are so jealous. Isn't it funny??? Sarah has more sense in her little finger than the whole Democratic party. My-O My are they ever running scared and jealous.
Bye Bye little obama.
well, palin IS known for her rhetorical skills
Wow. She finally said something intelligent.
She liked what Obama said? Then the President must have said something really stupid. Not possible though. Her advisors must have told her that saying something positive for a change, instead of the usual spewing of garbage from her brain, will make her look good with independents. The closer we get to 2012 the dumber she gets. I hope she wins the GOP ticket.
Wait... on second read, I realized that intelligence is not within her grasp
Good heavens...
One can only shake their head in disbelief.
Did she run out of lies, or did her "handlers" realize that the racist vile that spewed out of her mouth last year has NO PLACE IN THIS COUNTRY...NOT NOW, NOT EVER.
Now if the other "Mavericks" like Limbaugh and Beck can pull their heads out of you know where we can all get this country back on track.
Eight years of looting and pillaging has done enough. It's time to fix things now.
Out of the mouth of Caribou Barbie comes...well, nothing anyone is interested in hearing, but then, I sure hope she's the Republican candidate for President in 2012!
More like George Bush???
How do you think we got in this mess. Obama may not be perfect, but the alternative of McCain and Palin in power is scarey. If you do not like where we are as a nation now, picture the alternative.
"I thumbed through my book quickly this morning to say 'Wow! That really sounded familiar.'
Yes, it sounded like something your ghostwriter would have written. Maybe he/she should run in 2012?
Obama plagiarized Palin's book. Is that what Palin is saying? Or is she just trying to promote her book? And it's ironic about the war being necessary in a speech accepting the Nobel Peace Prize. Palin thinks she deserves a Peace Prize now since she thinks war is necessary.
Wow harsh words from someone who call himself a professor
Hey! I am really into authenticity...spoken like an idiot from a true idiot. May the good Lord help us one and all from HLV-quitter. Didn't have the ethics or stamina to finish her term in office, but now comments on lofty issues. Let's see, maybe Chuch Norris should be president...have we lowered ourselves to this level? I mean, is there really any intelligent person out there who honestly believes this incredibly grandstanding person, of no real experience and less substance, should have her finger "on the button:? Pit Bull with lipstick-Wow–where are we going here?
What Sarah meant to say is that her ghost writer talked about the "fallen nature of man."
Sarah,
Do us a favor! JUST shut-up!!
She "thumbed" through her "book" she didn't write. So weird.
Since the brilliant conservatives are so enamored of this woman and her brilliant opinions, they should keep buying her (or Lynn's) book, keep listening to her friend and spokesperson Stapleton, the one who keeps her speaking engagements so under control, and then when she decides that the big mean liberal media is just too much for her to bear and goes away with your money, we'll try not to gloat.
"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."
The fallen nature of man? What does that mean? And why does she always relate everything back to herself? Is she trying to take credit for something her ghostwriter wrote?
Who told Palin to compliment the President that she is so jealous of and continues to say negative things about him. Palin we remember the “Fruit-Flies” research that you didn’t know about. Please, tell your ghostwriter to stop hand feeding you good thoughts it doesn’t fit you. You are known to bite the hand that feeds you. The President is so far ahead of you and you dumb lies that we continue to laugh at you.
Sarah Palin is not the sharpest knife in the drawer......PLEASE could she just go away!!!
"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."
Allow me to translate: "Obama should do more of that fear mongering."
And I wish people would stop calling the country "homeland" – it's fascist.
Poor president Obama: Newt, Palin, Cheney agree with your speech? This must have been the worst of you. Sorry to hear!
well so much for mizz.palin not wanting President Obama to attend Copenhagen, as of a couple days ago she wanted him to boycott, yet now she praises his speech it just maybe that she wants to ride his coatail a little but just remember mizz.palin unlike you he knows of what he speaks
She's the populist candidate, the modern Teddy Roosevelt, and that's why we love her...............
Obama is ONE and DONE.
Sarah Palin/2012'
Lord please, we implore thee, deliver us from Palin for she is such a pain. Please Lord, hear our plea, have mercy upon us and our children and their children. Let it be Lord. Amen.
As proud as I am of my President, I am suspicious of Newt and Palin's sudden change of heart. It is likely that both are positioning themselves for 2012 Presidential bid. Maybe Gingrich/Palin ticket.
Call me jaded, but it will take me a while to warm to the jackals' smiles.
I cant believe Obama plagiarized Palin. Shocking!
Who's Sarah Palin?
0 for 4, Judith- From Sarah Palin's book, page 385, quote-"But I do believe in a few timeless and unchanging truths, and chief among those is that man is fallen. This world is not perfect, and politicians will never make it so." Seems like "dim bulb Palin" wrote that BEFORE Obama's dog and pony show at the laughable Noble "Peace" awards. By the way, you guys do know that Bill Ayers was the ghostwriter for Obama's first book, Dreams of My Father, after he was given an additional 18 months to write it, because after the 16 month deadline, Obama did not even have a rough sketch of the book.
She is a crazy, crazy woman. Why would anyone take serious anything she says. The hillbilly needs to shut-up and go away.
I really don't want any president acting like Bush. Wire taps, fear mongering, high government spending, new law enforcement groups, secrecy, and too much stomping on individual rights like marriage and children. I know a lot of conservatives out there drop the normal republican ideology when it comes to hating non-religious or non-christians and want a government entwined in religion, but Bush took it all too far. We can see how religion in politics affects countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia, we don't need it here. I'm all for a president who's less like Bush, regardless of what party he runs with. Obama just has the high spending down, we should leave it at that.
Pardon me for a second...feeling ill. Palin has NO sense of international relations, no sense of history, or even of politics. She did not say what Obama said. There is no way she can take credit for being on the same wavelength, or anything! What a joke that she was even interviewed as to her reaction to Obama's Nobel speech. Having her chime in here is gross and unnecessary and vaguely offensive. STOP INTERVIEWING PALIN, CNN! She just needs to go away. Now.
Another stump speech blaming Bush as usaul.
Dateline: "Palin opens her mouth twice in same day" With so many people out of work it is just wrong that you guys get paid for writing this. It is not news.
Now Sarah, when did your point-of-view become sage advice to anyone? You could barely pull a veep endeavor successfully, after which you did what most people who cannot do......write a book! I know many people much more qualified to do what you did taking advantage of the bully pulpit afforded you by your unsuccessful run for the veep opening. Your book should have been titled 'Read em and veep!!
Man, I just finished watching Jersey Shore on MTV and then saw this story about Palin. Can't decide which was more stupid – watching that show or reading this story. She's trying to either insinuate that Obama stole material from her book or that she's in tune with what he's thinking. She's a stupid joke and doesn't even know it.
Whos cares what she or any other dimwitted conservative thought about President Obama's speech. Why does CNN keep posting this crap!! These folks bring nothing to the table but chaos, controversy and bs. No one is listening to her or any other bottom feeder conservative out there. Leave Palin and other cartoon characters to the cartoon network...Faux News.
Why should anyone care what Sarah Palin has to say? With all the media coverage we're treating her like she's Lincoln delivering the Gettysburg address. This woman is completely out of her depth on just about every topic.
...Newt did the same thing, only he was first to compliment obama. Am i the only one that see's the pattern here? She completely lacks originality, she has no thoughts of her own, her life is spelled out on a teleprompter. Anyone who follows this woman is a sheep, pure and simple.
You know, Palin may be right, I heard the speech and he used words like 'the' and 'in' a number of times, and those are in her book, too.
The President is right, the difference is that Obama didnt start the illegal war in Iraq, or the torture in Abhu Graib or set up the contracts for KBR to become filthy rich when the outsourced the illegal war. Obama has no blood on his hands
Yes, the President talking truth to the world about America,
He had no hand in the evil horrors created by his predecsors.
Bush and Cheney are suspected to be war criminals, They will go to trial in this lifetime.
They are covered in the blood of innocents .
Lets keep it straight. Any questions
Compliments from this person Obama doesn't need. She has no judgment or credentials which give her praise any weight at all.
Yes, Sarah, and I guess you ghost wrote his speech. What nerve as you "thumbed' through the book you did not write or read! You are such an embarrassment to the U.S. But that right wing really loves ya'...so could be that you too may be prez some day. Worse things could not happen to our country. All kidding aside, nothing could make me want to leave this country I love so much than S.P. being president.
Be Like Mike has a ring to it ... But be like W ?? .Dont think so....
Thank God we dodge this bullet (VP Candidacy) I respect McCain for his war services (long ago) but he has proven to be just another politician who will change courses (and choices) to further his agenda. He can defend his VP pick til he is six feet under but who actually believes Sarah is VP or president material.....
Now i'm really tempted to get that book from library and see what's in it. I will ignore all the rumors out there that, it's her ghost writer, who actually wrote that book with many factual flaws.
Bush, Palin, Cheney, Two cowards and an idiot. What do you think. These idiots will not rest until they destroy the country with their stupidity and arrogance
Bush and Palin....dumb and dumber
Obama gave an exemplary speech, and Mrs Palin-the former governor who quit her job to go on a book tour-claims that the president's thoughts were well aligned with hers.
Mrs Palin could have simply acknowledged that this was an exceptional pro-American speech, fitly delivered by a US president, without resorting to these juvenile, attention starved antics, in an embarrassing attempt to shore up her own intellectual acumen.
These junior high "I-had-the-right-answer-too" claims do nothing to convince the American people that she should be taken seriously.
HAHAHA...did she just say Obama stole her words? OMG! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..this woman gets more insane by the minute! Yeah, palin you moron, the Harvard Grad needed to use YOUR words, someone that barely graduated a junior college in FIVE years! HAHAHAHAHAHA..shes so looney...I love her!
War should never ever be necessary. That's the whole problem with the human race. They are primitive, non-evolved, beings.
I promise you Barack Obama hasn't read her "book". Also, why did she have to thumb through it to see what she'd said. Doesn't she remember? What a freaking dingbat. I wish she were a man so she wouldn't reflect so badly on all the intelligent women in America.
Great speech. Thank God for a wise and intelligent President during these urgent times. His speech underscored the realistic idealism that he pursues. You made us proud, President Obama!
First, President Obama is a Christian..that is a fact. He looks to scripture for guidance, or at least that is what he tells the citizens who write to him. I believe he does and holds no shame in that. I had to laugh to see you try to take the credit from 'your' book..my dear Ms. Palin...the Good Lord himself spoke two thousand years ago about the fallen man...and the way to rise up as well. Sorry but this credit can only go to Jesus.
I think President Obama did an excellent speech, and what struck me is that it suited his personality best. He doesn't need to imitate the Former President, he is his own person, and must be true to that.
Oh, poor Sarah. To quote John McEnroe, "You can NOT BE SERIOUS!" Each time she opens her mouth she embarrasses herself more than the last. More embarrassing, as an American, is that people see her as a leader. I wouldn't let her lead me to water in the desert.
No, I don't think Obama paraphrased Palin. I think someone else paraphrased Palin and put it on his teleprompter, he just reads what he's told...like a good Democrat does.
Did she just accuse Pres. Obama of plagarizing her ghost writer? Unbelievable! I also give her no credit for being positive about the Pres. Basicallyl, her comment was, "I am applauding you with my middle finger extended."
Yeah, I am sure President Obama read Palin's book...Ha Ha! I am quite sure he has better things to read.
Yeah, right, Obama should be more like George Bush and Dick Cheney??? The reason he even got this honor is because he isn't. Do you dummies really want that woman running the world???
I remember referring to people of Sarah Palins ilk as bimbettes.
How many writers have to go back to their books to see what they wrote?
None.
It will be HILARIOUS if it is determined that Obama plagarized from Palin's book for his speech.
I will be laughing about it for DAYS!!!
I am not too sure what is going on inside that head of Sarah Palins'. She just seems to be a strange human being. I don't think her brain has fully matured yet. She doesn't seem to rationalize things and is too quick to make statements that have no meaning. Her communication skills are worse than George Bush. She needs to leave politics, because quite frankly the world is sick of hearing her voice.
Obama should be more like Bush??? Huh??? What an idiot!!!
If Obama was more like Bush he wouldn't have even been considered for this honor. And while the award may have been premature or as of yet unearned, much of the reason he was granted the prize is because he WASN'T like Bush. Bush had to continue to promote the need to fit the terrorist because if it wasn't for that he wouldn't have anything to show he had some value. Obama may not have changed or corrected everything the last administration of the past 8 years did to the US, but Obama has done more in the past 11 months to restore than the standing and reputation of the US in the world view than Bush even thinks he did to be a world leader.
Obama is exactly what we need right now even if he can't accomplish everything he wants because of partisan politics or simply lack of resources; but we'll be headed in the right direction.
I'm surprised she didn't accuse him of palling around with peaceniks...
How President Obama can send 30,000 more troops to die in a war we shouldn't even be fighting, then accept the Nobel Peace Prize in the same month, boggles the mind.
This women is a loser....
You mean honor our troops by fabricating a war and unnecessarily throwing them in harm's way.....underfunded with no viable exit strategy? That truly is an honor. Soldiers and civilians that otherwise would still be alive couldn't thank you any more, W!
Sarah Palin is now comparing herself to Barrack Obama?!?!?! Hahahahahahahahahaha!!! What an idiot she is! You betcha!
he could support our troops quicker and believe what he says,he could protect the second amendment and quit his socialist trends thats breaking America for no good return.
Can someone please tell me what this guy did to get the Nobel Peace Prize? Is it because he was a Community Organizer? Didnt someone nominate him like 2 weeks after he became President? How is that enough time to know that he should get this award? Im sure he begged someone to nominate him. He sure is a joke.How can anyone like this man. You people that do need to be examined quickly!!! He hasn't done anything from what I have seen except ruin this country. What an idiot!!!!!!
Probably the first time Sarah has read her book.
Make sure you plug your book.
I congratulate Palin for praising obama's speech. he gave a good speech and the proof for that is in how little applause he got from the Nobel people. Sometimes saying whats right and true doesn't get you the biggest applause.
And what's wrong with Palin saying Obama needs to be more like Bush? I think Obama already knows that. Have you noticed how similar his foreign policy is compared to Bush's? That's because it works.
ooo please palin go away!!!!
Sarah , you to can learn from others mistakes .
Look in the mirror baby !
Really? She has to thumb through her book to recognize that Barack said something similar? Why cant she just recall it in her head? Doesnt she realize she comes across as a fraud...as a third grader. "Oh wait, let me look in chapter 3 or 4, I think I said something similar."
The reason President Obama can say these comments and be praised by the international community and President Bush would be chastised is because President Bush proved that he cared nothing for diplomacy or peaceful negotiations and instead preferred to use the U.S. military as a tool to get whatever he wanted. President Obama on the other hand has proven that he is willing to use diplomacy even in situations like North Korea and Iran to work towards a peaceful solution. Most people agree that force is at times necessary, but the Bush Administration had an attitude of shoot first, talk second which anyone but a right wing conservative can see is wrong and unjust. Unlike Bush, President Obama hasn't invaded a country without just cause killing hundreds of thousands of people. That is why President Obama can say what he did while still receiving the respect of the international community.
Her comments are so ridiculous, their brilliant, ....in a ridiculous kind of way.
Many of you Democrats, socialists, and communists may laugh at what Sarah Palin is saying today, but you will probably revisit her thinking in 2010 and 2012 to see what hit you and President Obama.
A few of you may even examine a little Ayn Rand and scatch your heads.
I'm not exactly the biggest Palin fan.
But to those who say she said the President got talking points from her are not reading this correctly. She is saying they actually agree on a something
Ok, I was fearful of reading this story because I hate any Palin press being justified by more people clicking on the links. I came to read the comments... And I was well rewarded. I would very much like for her next story here to only appear when she's actually relevant.
Obama deserves more than that,his speech was good and encouraging keep it up.
