YouTube: Palin "The president does not know what he's doing"

Sarah pail appeared on "On The Record" with Great Van Susteren Tuesday night.  Love her or hate her she speaks up.  She didn't disappoint this time.  Palin as always was very colorful.  She talked about the debt ceiling 'crisis' and Obama's lack of handling it.

 Well, I think this is more Obama drama that's being created, this -- first this August 2nd deadline that he's insisting that America must act on, incurring more debt, raising that debt ceiling, otherwise, we will default. Well, we will not default. In fact, Geithner had said Sunday or Sunday before this -- this recent Sunday, he said that we will not default.

And this is the problem. Let me go back to President Obama and what his problem is. He doesn't understand that we have a spending problem in this country. And you know, back in the day, we used to hear that, "Hey, it's the economy stupid." Well, now, simply put, it's the spending, stupid! What's going on now with our bloated, overreaching, fat, nauseating spending from federal government, taking more state and individual control from Americans and trying to do it all on a federal level, which is creating this bankrupt situation that we're facing now!

YouTube: Sarah Palin 'It's the spending stupid':



Greta: I mean, I hope the government has a contingency plan. But how do you unscare the American people if you say this isn't life or death?

Palin responded: Well, scaring the American people is exactly what President Obama is doing. And that bizarre speech that he gave last night, it reminded me of when he insisted that TARP had to be passed, that you know, it was life or death at that time also. We had to increase spending in the federal government or people would be starving on the streets. And I mean, then look at what TARP resulted in.

No, the president's getting pretty good at this fear-mongering and trying to cram down the public's throat this idea of bigger government, more spending, not necessarily having a plan on what the spending will be on or how we will be able to live within our means with the growing spend that he wants to see.

Greta: Well, you know, I think if I -- I mean, the sort of interesting intrigue of this -- and I don't know if this -- you know, where this is going to come into it, but when it gets over to the United States Senate, the question of the balanced budget amendment or not, there are some sort of interesting little tidbits, historic tidbits.

For instance, Senator Harry Reid, Democrat of Nevada, the Senate majority leader, is quoted as saying in The Congressional Record in 1997 -- he says, "I believe we should have a constitutional amendment to balance the budget. I'm willing to go for that." In 1997, I don't know why he's - - what's change.

Senator Dick Durbin, Illinois, in 1995 -- again, it's quite a -- it's almost 20 years ago -- he said, "We need to move towards a balanced budget amendment."

And there are many other Democrats, some who have run even more recently, like Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio, where he says, "Before asking for your vote, I owe it to you to tell you where I stand, and that's for a balanced budget amendment."

So there are -- there are lots of instances where even Democrats have -- senators have called for a balanced budget amendment. Yet even though we have this sort of political intrigue, nobody seems to be willing to sort of sit down and actually resolve it. And we have, as you say, a drama, but it's not getting Any prettier here. So now what?

Palin: Well, You know, that's the hypocrisy that I guess is inherent in this politics as usual from these Washington, D.C., characters. They say one thing as candidates. And they get elected and they do their little flip-flop there, with Harry Reid, as you just mentioned, saying that he was for a balanced budget amendment.

Well, look at President Obama. When he was a senator, he said he didn't think that raising taxes during a bad economy was a good idea. Now he thinks it's a good idea. He said, too, that raising the debt ceiling back then was a bad idea and it was a reflection of poor leadership. Well, now he wants to raise the debt ceiling and incur more debt, Greta.

And this is the problem. Let me go back to President Obama and what his problem is. He doesn't understand that we have a spending problem in this country. And you know, back in the day, we used to hear that, "Hey, it's the economy stupid." Well, now, simply put, it's the spending, stupid! What's going on now with our bloated, overreaching, fat, nauseating spending from federal government, taking more state and individual control from Americans and trying to do it all on a federal level, which is creating this bankrupt situation that we're facing now!

It's immoral. It's unethical. It doesn't make any sense economically, or as I say, morally, because we're handing these bills to our children and our grandchildren.

People like Sarah Palin because she speaks from the heart with true conservative, Christian values.  The people who hate her are afraid of those same true conservative, Christian values.
