Palin: Obama's Theme Is Winning the Future—or WTF

Get it? Get it? Also, we need to cut 'fluffery' spending on NPR

(Newser) – Sarah Palin, not surprisingly, wasn’t a fan of President Obama’s State of the Union address. She joked with Greta Van Susteren last night that his theme “was the WTF, you know, winning the future,” which was appropriate because “there were a lot of WTF moments throughout that speech.” Specifically, she took issue with his “off base” ideas about how to create jobs: “Obviously government growth won't create any jobs, it's the private sector that can create the jobs.”

She offered her ideas on where government should cut spending: First to go should be “the fluffery like NPR and National Endowment for the Arts, those are obvious,” but she also wants to halt funding for ObamaCare, cap-and-tax programs, and entitlement programs. How about the evening’s other two addresses, from Republicans Paul Ryan and Michele Bachmann? Those “conservative common-sense messages were really good and they were sound,” Palin said. “They were sound because they were in opposition to President Obama's message."

As a Team Sarah member, I support Sarah Palin's response to Barack Obama's State of the Union Address because this is textbook Republican, which is what I believe. This is a continuation of the political tsunami that hit the United States coast to coast in the mid-term elections. Again, I support this. It gets back to the original spirit of our Founding Fathers, again which I support: that of personal accountability, personal empowerment, lower taxes and smaller government. This is what I will continue to support into the future as a grassroots activist for Sarah Palin. New Republicans in office know they were put in office by the people of this country to work for this. Again, I support them fully in this. I don't have a Pollyanna attitude about enacting these things in our country. I agree with Sarah Palin that it will take all conservatives of all parties pulling their ends of the load to restore our country back to running this country according to the way our Founding Fathers would have it. But we can do this. We've pulled together on important matters before, and we can pull together on this again. Our response to 9/11 immediately after that terrorism attack on our beloved country is a great example of what we can do when we truly put our minds and hearts to it. So let's go for it!

Well it's official - Sarah Palin has completely lost her mind and makes no sense. Her "response" was dumb, shrill, disjointed, childish, rambling, and incoherent. It's just another moment that will come back to haunt her if she even tries to run for higher office. She's a loser, a quitter, drop-dead ignorant and she needs to go back to whatever Wasilla garbage dump she came from and spend the rest of her pointless, irrelevant life cooking meth.
