Palin says she's more informed now, puzzled as to why Obama won't nuke Iran
Palin ‘Won’t Close the Door’ on Presidential Campaign (Update2)
By John McCormick


Feb. 7 (Bloomberg) -- Sarah Palin said she “won’t close the door” on a potential presidential bid during an interview on the “Fox News Sunday” program.

“It would be absurd to not consider what it is that I can potentially do to help our country,” she said.

The former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice- presidential nominee said she would run for president “if I believe that that is the right thing to do for our country and for the Palin family.”

Palin, 45, said she is receiving daily e-mail briefings on domestic and foreign policy from Washington advisers and that she is more knowledgeable on those topics than in 2008.

“My focus has been enlarged,” she said. “So, I sure as heck better be more astute on these current events, national issues.”

Palin said some of President Barack Obama’s decisions have been “misguided” and that he expects Americans to “sit down and shut up and accept” his policies. ..........(more)

2. So she receives these emails
Does she bother to read them or are they ending up in her SPAM folder?

12. Of course she does
She's pretty much of a Narcissist and, like Bush, I doubt she's exposed to much criticism. I'm pretty certain she only surrounds herself with sycophants so her ego gets plenty of strokes.

Besides - she got hired by Fox. They love her.

28. Because the country was seriously considering putting her a heartbeat away from the Oval Office
Palin should frighten us. She has the charisma to pull it off if she's very heavily coached between now and then. Her qualifications will mean diddly-dick if she's charismatic enough.

Obama's election actually makes it easier for her. Hillary will never occupy the Oval Office, but given we've 'already had a black President', it makes sense that many would be hungry to break the other glass ceiling on that office. Palin is, sadly, for many a logical choice.

2012 may well be a disaster in a very different way than it was in the movie. We need to eliminate her in the political sense. She's not just toxic- she's outright cancerous.

20. She must get some of the same 'enlargement' SPAM emails
I get... is that what she means by her "focus" being "enlarged"? I didn't know that stuff could enlarge your focus too, and here all this time I've been deleting those enlargement promising emails...I am such a moran.

25. Yo Palin...
It takes a Congressional approval to nuke Iran, dumbass.

Go back to school, and I suggest remedial American History and Social Studies.

29. If she gets elected (god forbid)..
I fully expect an armed conflict of sorts to erupt.

It may not be full on civil war, but I honestly do believe, that there would be "skirmishes".

Frankly, I also believe that these same "skirmishes" would be started by her mouth breathing supporters. They would think they would have free reign to do what they please. Aka brown shirts.

With in one year of her in office (if she doesn't quit), we will be full on fascist.
