Palin Slams Michelle Obama Again, This Time For Anti-Obesity Campaign

WASHINGTON -- An appearance by Sarah Palin on Laura Ingraham's radio show Wednesday morning drew a bit of pre-Thanksgiving buzz for a swipe she took at Barbara Bush for suggesting that the 2008 vice president nominee would be best served in 2012 by staying in Alaska.

"I don't think the majority of Americans want to put up with the blue-bloods -- and I want to say it will all due respect because I love the Bushes -- the blue bloods who want to pick and choose their winners instead of allowing competition," said the former Alaska Governor.

But it was another swipe at another first lady that stood out in a notably charged interview. For the second time this week, Palin threw jabs at Michelle Obama (the first instance came with the publication of Palin's book), this time calling her campaign to improve child nutrition another instance of a philosophical devotion to big government.

I think she has got a different worldview and she is not hesitant at all to share what her worldview is. And I will take heat again for saying it on your show Laura but she encapsulated what her view of America is, I believe, unless she has evolved and things have changed in the last two years, but she said it on the campaign trail twice that it was the first time that she had been proud of her country when finally people were paying attention to Barack Obama. I think that's appalling. We can think of this infinite number of reasons to be proud of American exceptionalism and it baffles me that anybody would have that view and then allow that view to bleed over into policy.

Take her anti-obesity thing that she is on. She is on this kick, right. What she is telling us is she cannot trust parents to make decisions for their own children, for their own families in what we should eat. And I know I'm going to be again criticized for bringing this up, but instead of a government thinking that they need to take over and make decisions for us according to some politician or politician's wife priorities, just leave us alone, get off our back, and allow us as individuals to exercise our own God-given rights to make our own decisions and then our country gets back on the right track.

1. John McCain created a monster

That she takes pride in attacking someone who is trying to improve the health of children takes a special kind of crazy. It's all about
Sarah.

6. I have taken to calling her McCain's Revenge

he created his own version of Frankenstein's monster

[Empowerer]

2. Palin's obsession with Michelle Obama says much more about Palin than it does about Michelle

[Whisp]

3. the little gnat wants attention sooooo bad from the Obamas...

and she's not getting it.
poor baby.

4. All WE have to do is keep replaying Palin saying we gotta stand with North Korea.

:rofl:

11. Great way to lose weight too!!!...

as the nation collectively soiled themselves upon that utterance from this fool...:D

[bigdarryl]

5. She's got a problem with black women who have achieved in life

Michell hasn't said anything negative towards her and she contently attacks her YET Barbra Bush said she needs to stay in Alaska and she(Palin) says nice things about her

[rasputin1952]

12. She's got a problem w/every woman that doesn't think like her...

every male too, for that matter. The First Lady is highly educated and wonderfully intelligent...and Palin could learn a lot if she could smile like Michelle does, instead of run around w/that plastic Barbie "smile". This is one scornful woman, a walking disaster.

I love the fact Michelle planted an organic garden on the WH property...and Palin is out there clubbing halibut...(must not have been seal season)...:D

7. Wonder if she would have attacked Barbara Bush's "Read" campaign?

Probably. Because it makes sense?

Trouble with her free-loading philosphy is that gosh, guess what drives up insurance costs for us all in the insurance pools? Gee, hmm, golly, maybe a little preventative maintenance is a good idea?

And where does this tart get off saying that it is being forced onto anyone's back? The First Lady generally has a theme throughout the presidency of improving the general welfare, whether it be reading, women's heart health awareness, or childhood obesity.

The frightening part is that a large portion of Americans will listen to this bimbo.

And, I must confess I'm getting a little interested at the thought of a Palin/Babs match. I know where I'm putting my money.
