Hmm…Looks like someone is getting nervous about the possibility of a Trump Presidency.
Via NY Post.
It’s all her fault. That’s the latest from President Obama. He says he’s not to blame for Donald Trump. Nope. Nor is Hillary Clinton.
According to the president, it’s all the fault of Sarah Palin.
Obama unloaded this brainstorm in an interview this week with New York magazine. “I see a straight line from the announcement of Sarah Palin as the vice-presidential nominee to what we see today in Donald Trump,” he said.
As an exercise in political blame-shifting, this is a classic. The Mideast is in disarray, Red China is on the march, Vladimir Putin is advancing on Syria and after two terms of Obama, millions of Americans are too discouraged even to look for work.
Who’s to blame for that? A one-time hockey mom-turned-small-town mayor and reform governor of Alaska who lost the vice-presidential race in 2008 and quit public office in 2009 — and whose only public pulpit is a page on Facebook?….
Palin, after all, began her public career seeking to avoid the divisiveness of which Obama claims she is the author. She’s the only GOP candidate to have made her entrance onto the national stage by announcing that her husband was a proud member of a labor union. She, too, carried a union card.
She understood better than any Republican — or Democratic — candidate in decades that the collapse of the manufacturing economy in America had stranded millions of would-be, able-bodied working men and women.
One of my favorite Palin moments occurred in 2010. That’s when the Alert Alaskan, as I like to call her, became the first politician in either party to challenge the Federal Reserve’s strategy for getting our economy back on course.
She turned out to be right as rain. Trillions of dollars in central-bank lending failed to end the jobs crisis. While unemployment fell, the workforce participation rate collapsed to its lowest level in decades. She foresaw the “bubble” of which Donald Trump is warning….
To pile on Palin in Year Eight is absurd. It’s not she who failed to work with Congress, retreated in war, got swallowed by the Great Recession and described a quarter of Americans as “deplorables.”
No, those are the sources of the divisiveness in our politics and they belong to Obama and the current Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton. So if Obama is looking for someone to blame for Donald Trump, let him look in the mirror.

Must be humiliating for Obama to recognize that he has been thwarted by … a woman.
Yeah, Rob. A Christian woman. That’s gotta hurt.
I was wondering when the lamebrains would drag Gov.Palin into their hot mess.
If there is one thing she can be remembered for,it is standing up for
Mr.Trump when everybody balked.And hopefully it’ll be something all of
us can be grateful to her for, even the lamebrains that hate her.
If Palin looked like Bela Abzug, no one would be b******* about her
I have to totally disagree with all of you. If not for her endorsing so early I’m not sure he would have had the credibility that launched his campaign. For that I will be forever disappointed in Sarah.
