Palin: People Think Of Obama Wearing 'Mom Jeans,' Putin Wrestling Bears

CATHERINE THOMPSON – MARCH 4, 2014, 7:49 AM EST

Sarah Palin on Monday blasted President Barack Obama's "weak leadership" on the situation in Ukraine, saying the perception of Obama across the globe is of a guy in "mom jeans."

“Look, the perception of Obama, of him and his potency across the world is one of such weakness," Palin told Fox News' Sean Hannity. "People are looking at Putin as one who wrestles bears and drills for oil. They look at our president as one who wears mom jeans and equivocates and bloviates.”

Palin, who gloated about her 2008 prediction that Russia would be spurred on to invade Ukraine after it occupied parts of Georgia, criticized Obama for "leading from behind" and said other countries are starting to take advantage of his weakness on foreign policy.

The former vice presidential nominee also hit Obama on energy policy. Arguing for the Keystone XL pipeline, Palin said that when the U.S. can no longer "feed others with our resources," those nations turn toward resource-rich countries like Russia.

...as to why Putin had such a free hand to do whatever he wanted, what with US forces tied up with McCain & the neocons' invasion of Iran.

A single headline would suffice to cover every comment she's made in the last five years: "PALIN DOES NOT APPROVE OF OBAMA"

Sheesh. And it seems her comments about "mom jeans" and "leading from behind" is a polite way of calling Obama a faggot. I guess it's convenient to defend a commie that way!

Facts do not matter, nor does integrity or fairness with this one. We all know that.

So she could quit as our Governor and trapse off the Fox News as a Bullshit artist. Because of McCain we are rid of her and I am grateful.

Are only surpassed by her grasp of foreign policy. "Mom jeans", indeed. In this scenario, she is both Obama and Putin, only " wrestling bears" is more like shooting moose from a helicopter.

She's a porn star with the amazing ability to fellate her own ego without shame, in full public view, over and over again. It's both fascinating and repulsive to watch.

I know, she can see Russia from her house!

She's a quitter who doesn't lead from in frong, behind or anywhere else, she QUIT.

When I see her I am reminded of the Kardashians, people I have never knowingly watched, try hard to avoid, but can't seem to get rid of them no matter how hard I try.
