| Palin Mocked in 2008 for sayin, "If Obama elected Russia will invade Ukraine" |
| 2014-03-01 |
Palin said then:After the Russian Army invaded the nation of Georgia, Senator Obama's reaction was one of indecision and moral equivalence, the kind of response that would only encourage Russia's Putin to invade Ukraine next. For those comments, she was mocked by the high-brow Foreign Policy magazine and its editor Blake Hounshell, who now is one of the editors of Politico magazine. In light of recent events in Ukraine and concerns that Russia is getting its troops ready to cross the border into the neighboring nation, nobody seems to be laughing at or dismissing those comments now. Hounshell wrote then that Palin's comments were "strange" and "this is an extremely far-fetched scenario." "And given how Russia has been able to unsettle Ukraine's pro-Western government without firing a shot, I don't see why violence would be necessary to bring Kiev to heel," Hounshell dismissively wrote. Palin made her remarks on the stump after Obama's running mate Joe Biden warned Obama supporters to "gird your loins" if Obama is elected because international leaders may test or try to take advantage of him. |

| #10 Yes, I've never figured out the rationale for closing alcoholic beverage sales on election day considering how 'tight' they are on who's stuffing the ballot box anyway. |

| #9 In some parts of the country, you can no doubt still vote if you died from an overdose of drugs or alcohol. |

| #7 You can't drive a car while drinking. You can't carry a firearm in many states if have been drinking. You can vote without identification and if you're dumb as a box of rocks about our political process and country. You can probably vote if you if you have been drinking or high or drugs. Something is wrong with that. |

| #5 The only enemies Obama sees are domestic political opposition. His blindness in this pursuit is that external black swan events can impact internal economics and stability to the point that everything only spirals down and out of control in his centralization of power. |

| #3 Obama's true believers don't give a damn about issues like this. Just keep their bennies flowing and have something on the tube/cable, and they'll be happy - forever! |

| #2 You know what would win America's wars ? Have Obama DECREE that the US Marines get "sensitivity " training and that the US Army Rangers get twerking lessons. You don't have to be an Oracle to know how the US military feel about Obama and Biden, do you? Well, do you? |
