(Reuters) - Sarah Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee, called President Barack Obama a liar and urged her party to stand by conservative values, rousing the crowd at a conservative conference on Saturday.
"Barack Obama promised the most transparent administration ever. Barack Obama, you lie," the former Alaska governor said in an address to the Conservative Political Action Conference near Washington.
She was echoing a line from a Republican member of the House of Representatives who shouted at Obama during a speech to Congress in 2009 and accused him of lying about healthcare for illegal immigrants.
Palin's line drew a big round of applause from the audience, made up of Republican lawmakers and conservative activists.

(16,954 posts)Her never-ending schtick of using truly ignorant bombast to compensate for her profound lack of intellect. I never thought it possible that the GOP could find someone so incompetent that they would make Dubya look like a genius, but they did with Sarah Palin.
