Real-life example of obama's policies

Iran is a definite threat. Russia...meh...shmeh....

Does Palin have foreign policy experience? No, but neither does Barack.

BTW Do you know what the Russians do to keep warm?
 
Fuck bitches while drunk on vodka?

seriously though, is that the whole answer? I don't need to get into the Obama stuff, although you are leaving out that he is the chairmen of the US Senates Foreign Subcommittee on European Relations...

But you are forgetting Biden....
 
So, aspendukes likes Palin because though she has widely publicized inadequacies (which somehow aspendukes missed), many of said inadequacies are also, in her view, attributable to Barack Obama. Who she doesn't like. Makes sense to me!

See how it was pointless to try, Scott? I hope you've learned a valuable lesson.
 
haha I had hope we could have a serious political discussion on here...but alas...it is NS and it does not seem to be going as well as planned...hmmm....
 
your an idiot your missing the point, it doesnt matter the degree, but nobody wants other people taking their wealth and spending it. you can't argue with me, it doesn't matter who its happening to, its the principle that is wrong.
 
Got the Transcripts so you can read them.

First one

When I asked John McCain about your national security credentials,

he cited the fact that you have commanded the Alaskan National Guard

and that Alaska is close to Russia. Are those sufficient credentials?

PALIN: But it is about reform of government and it's about

putting government back on the side of the people, and that has much to

do with foreign policy and national security issues Let me speak

specifically about a credential that I do bring to this table, Charlie,

and that's with the energy independence that I've been working on for

these years as the governor of this state that produces nearly 20

percent of the U.S. domestic supply of energy, that I worked on as

chairman of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, overseeing

the oil and gas development in our state to produce more for the United

States.

GIBSON: I know. I'm just saying that national security is a whole lot more than energy.





PALIN: It is, but I want you to not lose sight of the fact that

energy is a foundation of national security. It's that important. It's

that significant.

GIBSON: Did you ever travel outside the country prior to your trip to Kuwait and Germany last year?

PALIN: Canada, Mexico, and then, yes, that trip, that was the

trip of a lifetime to visit our troops in Kuwait and stop and visit our

injured soldiers in Germany. That was the trip of a lifetime and it

changed my life.

GIBSON: Have you ever met a foreign head of state?

PALIN: There in the state of Alaska, our international trade activities bring in many leaders of other countries.

GIBSON: And all governors deal with trade delegations.

PALIN: Right.

GIBSON: Who act at the behest of their governments.

PALIN: Right, right.

GIBSON: I'm talking about somebody who's a head of state, who can negotiate for that country. Ever met one?

PALIN:

I have not and I think if you go back in history and if you ask that

question of many vice presidents, they may have the same answer that I

just gave you. But, Charlie, again, we've got to remember what the

desire is in this nation at this time. It is for no more politics as

usual and somebody's big, fat resume maybe that shows decades and

decades in that Washington establishment, where, yes, they've had

opportunities to meet heads of state ... these last couple of weeks ...

it has been overwhelming to me that confirmation of the message that

Americans are getting sick and tired of that self-dealing and kind of

that closed door, good old boy network that has been the Washington

elite.

Sarah Palin on God:

GIBSON: You said recently, in your old church, "Our national

leaders are sending U.S. soldiers on a task that is from God." Are we

fighting a holy war?

PALIN: You know, I don't know if that was my exact quote.

GIBSON: Exact words.

Second one

Couric: You've cited Alaska's proximity to Russia as part of your foreign policy experience. What did you mean by that?

Sarah Palin: That Alaska has a very narrow maritime border

between a foreign country, Russia, and, on our other side, the

land-boundary that we have with Canada. It's funny that a comment like

that was kinda made to … I don't know, you know … reporters.

Couric: Mocked?

Palin: Yeah, mocked, I guess that's the word, yeah.

Couric: Well, explain to me why that enhances your foreign-policy credentials.

Palin: Well, it certainly does, because our, our next-door

neighbors are foreign countries, there in the state that I am the

executive of. And there…

Couric: Have you ever been involved in any negotiations, for example, with the Russians?

Palin: We have trade missions back and forth, we do. It's

very important when you consider even national security issues with

Russia. As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the

United States of America, where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just

right over the border. It is from Alaska that we send those out to make

sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia,

because they are right there, they are right next to our state.

 
No, they shoot shit.

For right now, yes.

Which is extremely scary that he is on that committee.

Biden, what can I say about Biden? Nothing right now. I can't stand listening to him, but I need to catch up on transcripts.

I'm only responding to Iggy and Justin. So if you ask me a question I aint gon' respond.
 
dude i'm sick of listening to your bullshit as i try to get through this thread, thank goodness there are people out there that care about redistribution and peoples hard earned money away. i know this because if everyone thought like you, 95% of the population would be voting for obama. but instead, its the just the lazy half of the country who wants to force a small percentage to wipe their asses and give em free dough. your a fucking retarded
 
so then why would he keep on working hard enough to earn 1000, i'd just work hard enough for 700, and then keep it all...
 
Iggy, are you seriously bringing Biden into this. the guy is a loose cannon...

stand up chuck

mark my words the world will test barack, they will test him i can even give you 4 ways they might

TV in 1929

ill give him that he looks like a president, but other than that i dont need him fucking something up when talking to someone important.

 
haha sorry...just had to point this out because it is a bit funny.

Just basically saying if everyone supported Obama, they would vote for Obama.

There are many families out there who make more than 250k a year and support Obama....so obviously there are many people out there who do not have issue with some level of wealth redistribution.

It isn't like the rich are giving everything away....
 
I am bring him in because that is who is on the ticket. I didn't say anything for or against them.

All I asked was how is Palin a better choice from a foreign policy perspective than either Obama or Biden? Simple question.
 
ummm....transcripts are just there because Aspendukes has no way to hear the interview.

If you would LIKE, you can watch the interview and see the words come directly out of Palin's mouth.....
 
They were from ABC News and CBS news. But again, video is there for a reason. Cannot change what she said.

 
No, i'm saying if they too (the rest of the country) were ok with taking money that isn't theirs and giving it to whomever they deem needs it most then obama would have 95% of the votes.
 
Yes, of course. They actually were telling her what to say. Being the trusting sort, she took it for granted that they were acting in her interests when they pre-wrote those answers for her... damn you, liberal media!

I find it absolutely amazing that the right wing has managed to completely co-opt a huge segment of the country into completely ignoring any non-right wing source of information. Basically, "don't trust the news, read OUR news." People are actually lazy enough that they're willing to beg to be told what they want to hear. It's disturbing.
 
Yeah sure.

I need to watch it, but here is a fox interview.

Transcript is so long, but here is a link if you wanna read it.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,424346,00.html

 
ok. Where here is a update to the earlier transcript. regardless...nothing in there makes it seem like she has more experience that Obama or Biden. To me, it makes her sound ignorant and uneducated.

here is the full thing

GIBSON: Have you ever met a foreign head of state?

PALIN: There in the state of Alaska, our international trade activities bring in many leaders of other countries.

GIBSON: And all governors deal with trade delegations.

PALIN: Right.

GIBSON: Who act at the behest of their governments.

PALIN: Right, right.

GIBSON: I’m talking about somebody who’s a head of state, who can negotiate for that country. Ever met one?

PALIN: I have not and I think if you go back in history and if you

ask that question of many vice presidents, they may have the same

answer that I just gave you. But, Charlie, again, we’ve got to remember

what the desire is in this nation at this time. It is for no more

politics as usual and somebody’s big, fat resume maybe that shows

decades and decades in that Washington establishment, where, yes,

they’ve had opportunities to meet heads of state … these last

couple of weeks … it has been overwhelming to me that confirmation of

the message that Americans are getting sick and tired of that

self-dealing and kind of that closed door, good old boy network that

has been the Washington elite.



Next we see that Palin was not nearly as hostile towards Russia as was presented in the edited interview:

GIBSON: Let me ask you about some specific national security situations.

PALIN: Sure.

GIBSON: Let’s start, because we are near Russia, let’s start with Russia and Georgia.

The administration has said we’ve got to maintain

the territorial integrity of Georgia. Do you believe the United States

should try to restore Georgian sovereignty over South Ossetia and

Abkhazia?

PALIN: First off, we’re going to continue good

relations with Saakashvili there. I was able to speak with him the

other day and giving him my commitment, as John McCain’s running mate,

that we will be committed to Georgia. And we’ve got to keep an eye on

Russia. For Russia to have exerted such pressure in terms of invading a

smaller democratic country, unprovoked, is unacceptable and we have to

keep…

GIBSON: You believe unprovoked.

PALIN: I do believe unprovoked and we have got to keep our eyes on Russia, under the leadership there. I

think it was unfortunate. That manifestation that we saw with that

invasion of Georgia shows us some steps backwards that Russia has

recently taken away from the race toward a more democratic nation with

democratic ideals. That’s why we have to keep an eye on Russia.

And, Charlie, you’re in Alaska. We have that

very narrow maritime border between the United States, and the 49th

state, Alaska, and Russia. They are our next door neighbors.We need to

have a good relationship with them. They’re very, very important to us

and they are our next door neighbor.

GIBSON: What insight into Russian actions, particularly in the last couple of weeks, does the proximity of the state give you?

PALIN: They’re our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.

GIBSON: What insight does that give you into what they’re doing in Georgia?

PALIN: Well, I’m giving you that perspective of

how small our world is and how important it is that we work with our

allies to keep good relation with all of these countries, especially

Russia. We will not repeat a Cold War. We must have good relationship

with our allies, pressuring, also, helping us to remind Russia that

it’s in their benefit, also, a mutually beneficial relationship for us

all to be getting along.

We also see from Palin's following remark, which was also edited

out, that she is far from some sort of latter day Cold Warrior which

the edited interview made her seem to be:



We cannot repeat the Cold War. We are thankful

that, under Reagan, we won the Cold War, without a shot fired, also.

We’ve learned lessons from that in our relationship with Russia,

previously the Soviet Union.

We will not repeat a Cold War. We must have

good relationship with our allies, pressuring, also, helping us to

remind Russia that it’s in their benefit, also, a mutually beneficial

relationship for us all to be getting along.

Palin's extended remarks about defending our NATO

allies were edited out to make it seem that she was ready to go to war

with Russia.

GIBSON: And under the NATO treaty, wouldn’t we then have to go to war if Russia went into Georgia?

PALIN: Perhaps so. I mean, that is the agreement

when you are a NATO ally, is if another country is attacked, you’re

going to be expected to be called upon and help.

But NATO, I think, should include Ukraine,

definitely, at this point and I think that we need to — especially with

new leadership coming in on January 20, being sworn on, on either

ticket, we have got to make sure that we strengthen our allies, our

ties with each one of those NATO members.

We have got to make sure that that is the group that can be counted upon to defend one another in a very dangerous world today.

GIBSON: And you think it would be worth it to

the United States, Georgia is worth it to the United States to go to

war if Russia were to invade.

PALIN: What I think is that smaller democratic

countries that are invaded by a larger power is something for us to be

vigilant against. We have got to be cognizant of what the consequences

are if a larger power is able to take over smaller democratic

countries.

And we have got to be vigilant. We have got to

show the support, in this case, for Georgia. The support that we can

show is economic sanctions perhaps against Russia, if this is what it

leads to.

It doesn’t have to lead to war and it doesn’t

have to lead, as I said, to a Cold War, but economic sanctions,

diplomatic pressure, again, counting on our allies to help us do that

in this mission of keeping our eye on Russia and Putin and some of his

desire to control and to control much more than smaller democratic

countries.

His mission, if it is to control energy

supplies, also, coming from and through Russia, that’s a dangerous

position for our world to be in, if we were to allow that to happen.

That answer presented Palin as a bit too

knowledgeable for the purposes of ABC News and was, of course, edited

out. Palin's answers about a nuclear Iran were carefully edited to the

point where she was even edited out in mid-sentence to make it seem

that Palin favored unilateral action against that country:

GIBSON: Let me turn to Iran. Do you consider a nuclear Iran to be an existential threat to Israel?

PALIN: I believe that under the leadership of

Ahmadinejad, nuclear weapons in the hands of his government are

extremely dangerous to everyone on this globe, yes.

GIBSON: So what should we do about a nuclear Iran? John

McCain said the only thing worse than a war with Iran would be a

nuclear Iran. John Abizaid said we may have to live with a nuclear

Iran. Who’s right?

PALIN: No, no. I agree with John McCain that

nuclear weapons in the hands of those who would seek to destroy our

allies, in this case, we’re talking about Israel, we’re talking about

Ahmadinejad’s comment about Israel being the “stinking corpse, should

be wiped off the face of the earth,” that’s atrocious. That’s

unacceptable.

GIBSON: So what do you do about a nuclear Iran?

PALIN: We have got to make sure that these weapons

of mass destruction, that nuclear weapons are not given to those hands

of Ahmadinejad, not that he would use them, but that he would allow

terrorists to be able to use them. So we have got to put the pressure

on Iran and we have got to count on our allies to help us, diplomatic pressure.

GIBSON: But, Governor, we’ve threatened greater

sanctions against Iran for a long time. It hasn’t done any good. It

hasn’t stemmed their nuclear program.

PALIN: We need to pursue those and we need to

implement those. We cannot back off. We cannot just concede that, oh,

gee, maybe they’re going to have nuclear weapons, what can we do about

it. No way, not Americans. We do not have to stand for that.

Laughably, a remark by Gibson that indicated he agreed with Palin was edited out:

PALIN: But the reference there is a

repeat of Abraham Lincoln’s words when he said — first, he suggested

never presume to know what God’s will is, and I would never presume to

know God’s will or to speak God’s words.

But what Abraham Lincoln had said, and that’s a

repeat in my comments, was let us not pray that God is on our side in a

war or any other time, but let us pray that we are on God’s side.

That’s what that comment was all about, Charlie.

And I do believe, though, that this war against extreme Islamic

terrorists is the right thing. It’s an unfortunate thing, because war

is hell and I hate war, and, Charlie, today is the day that I send

my first born, my son, my teenage son overseas with his Stryker

brigade, 4,000 other wonderful American men and women, to fight for our

country, for democracy, for our freedoms.

Charlie, those are freedoms that too many of us

just take for granted. I hate war and I want to see war ended. We end

war when we see victory, and we do see victory in sight in Iraq.

GIBSON: I take your point about Lincoln’s words, but you went on and said, “There is a plan and it is God’s plan.”

TO YOU GUYS, does this new transcript change the answer at all? What does she say/what experiences does she have that makes her the better choice? Even with all that in there I do not see it, but if you do, by all means post it.
 
exactly why Obama want to role back the tax cuts that were given to the wealthy by Bush. Please don't tell me you buy the bullshit in those ads. Its not about "spreading the wealth" and taking away from those that earned it. Under Obama the wealthy would be paying the same in taxes that they did under Clinton
 
Lets remember, there are some poor people that work super hard to still be stuck poor, there are some rich people that work super hard to stay rich. BUT there are still lazy people that stay poor because they are lazy and there are rich people that are lazy (and inherited money)

It can go both ways.. so who gives obama (or mccain) the right to choose what YOUR money goes towards?

 
because if he made 700 hed still be paying taxes... the only way he could get away with not paying taxes would be if he chose to quit his job and live on the street. or quit his serving job and get a job making a minute amount of money, something difficult to survive at
 
No. go back and read my post. I'm saying the claim of spreading the wealth around is a load. yes taxes are going up for the wealthy but only because he is undoing the tax cuts given to them under Bush
 
the liberal media? its a simple fucking question she should be able to answer. did the liberal media make her say what she did? no
 
hahaha thats wasnt an interview. that was a "lets rescue palins ass and not ask real questions"
 
I hope you aren't calling me lazy because I'm voting for Obama, because I'm certainly not lazy.

There is no free lunch......for anybody.
