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.

(32,046 posts)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!

(18,672 posts)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.

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.
