When I first heard about Sarah Palin running for vice-president during the 2008 presidential election, I was so jealous because she had an awesome telescope that allowed her to “see Russia from her house.” But now, I’m just overwhelmed that Palin stopped blogging on Facebook about her political views on the new administration and decided to do keynote presentations like the one she did on Feb. 2 in Nashville, Tennessee.
The crowd was very pleased to have Sarah Palin as a keynote speaker, and FOX News was more then ready to broadcast her speech live because we all know that FOX News treats Palin as if she was the think tank of the Pentagon. The 45-minute speech that she gave at the Tea Party Convention was mainly about how the Obama Administration was failing the country. I never thought I would say it, but she has a point, to an extent. She mentions how the TARP program that was issued by the current administration only helped out the banks, mortgage companies, and auto industries, which frankly, left out the people that really needed the money the unemployed and uninsured. Palin made some valid points during her speech; however, anybody can be a critic, and very few people can actually provide real life solutions that would resolve the problems. She failed to do this.
For example, Sarah Palin mentioned that the U.S national security was not at its best during Christmas day last year because of an attempted terrorist attack by Abdul Mutallab. She scolded the Obama Administration for giving Abdul Mutallab a student visa and claimed that the US should have reviewed his application more seriously. “ExSqueez me!!” If all of you remember the unfortunate Sep. 11 incident that happened not so long ago, it could have been prevented. How, you may ask? Well, the 10 out of the 15 hijackers that were involved in those attacks were supposed to be deported back to their countries because either they had an “expired visa or they were on the terrorist watch list.” And after all that, look what happened under the watch of the greatest president since Richard Nixon.
You can tell that Sarah Palin was more than comfortable at the Tea Party Convention; during her speech, she was happy that there were “real people and no Politicos” in the room. Frankly, I would be too if I couldn’t name a credible newspaper off of the top of my head, so she was probably hoping that those people wouldn’t ask her hard questions like they did during the 2008 election. Nevertheless, the audience loved her and FOX couldn’t get enough of her. For now, Ms. Palin is under the radar until she shows up in another tea party or an NRA meeting to give another assessment of the Obama Administration. So, until then, I hope the Obama Administration will improve the unemployment rate, fixe the economy or have a verbal debate with Ms. Palin.
