Failed Gov. who lacked cojones to finish term says Obama lacks cojones to fix illegal immigration
Sarah Palin: Obama Doesn't Have 'The Cojones' To Fix Illegal Immigration (VIDEO)



Sarah Palin says President Obama doesn't have "the cojones" to effectively address the issue of illegal immigration.

The ex-Alaska Governor fired the shot by drawing a comparison between the president and Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) in an appearance on "Fox News Sunday" over the weekend.

"Jan Brewer has the cojones that our President does not have," Palin said. "If our own president will not enforce a federal law, more power to Jan Brewer."

The criticism comes amid heated debate over Arizona's controversial new immigration law, which took effect last week. Although a federal appeals court blocked some of the most contentious aspects of the measure, Brewer has signaled she has no intention of backing down on her end of the legal fight.

Palin praised the Arizona Governor's attitude: "Brewer, bless her heart, she's going to do all that she can to continue down the litigation path to allow secure borders."

2. Can he call her a c*t?
Why the double standard in the media? Why is this person given immunity?

3. More Word Salad...
No wonder she has to write this shit down on her hand...toilet paper would be more appropriate.

Seems someone feeds her the talking points and she tries to peddle it on a "friendly" network where even they are getting tired of her lack of real substance or sincerity.

Bible Spice is turning into the person at the party you invite but no one really wants to hang with. She's got a big mouth that has turned her into the laughing stock of 80% of the country.

Unfortunately the corporate media has this fixation with her...just can't quit her and hops on anything that spews from that pie hole.

4. I've finally heard a plausible explanation...
.. why the Federal government is not really interested in fixing this problem. I've always known why the Republican didn't want to, cheap labor, but I couldn't figure out why the Dems were equally reticent.

It's about numbers. We actually need these people to pay into SS and buy stuff and basically make up for the lost population of the baby boomers blip. It all makes sense to me now, why there is always a nice amnesty, why a problem that could be "solved" almost overnight by going after businesses that hire illegals (in a serious, not sporadic, selective way) is just never solved.

While I'm nominally against illegal immigration, I'm a lot less so now. Pragmatically, I wonder if it really is true that we need them as much as they need us.

7. just legalize and normalize it.
We do indeed need more young working families to be paying into social security, but it is massively unethical to arrange for our immigrant population to pay in without their being allowed to collect when they retire.

The demographics are in our favor if our party handles this issue correctly.

6. More importantly this woman lacks brains
If it wasn't for the people around here she would be sitting in the sewer thinking she was taking a bath. Oh hey, maybe she is sitting in a sewer, wouldn't put anything pass her. AND every time I look at her I get this overwhelming puke feeling for McCain. If it hadn't been for him we wouldn't have to put up with the media obsession with her.

They are the ones making her seem more important than what she is for hanging on to every piece of BS she spews.
