Sarah Strikes Again!
Sure, they’re not going to “dignify this with a responseâ€.  But you just know that Obama, Gibbs, Matthews, and all the rest of the Bamster’s inside circle are fuming tonight, trying to answer the question, “How does she do that?† She’s been derided, ridiculed, and dismissed as inconsequential by the entire Washington establishment (GOP included), so what does she do? She cuts through their crap with a perfectly timed and perfectly executed shot to the political jaw, and there’s nothing any of them can do about it except cry in their chardonnay.
It happened this morning on Fox News Sunday. Palin was engaged in a discussion about Jan Brewer and the Arizona Immigration Bill, and said this:
“That’s unfortunate that the judge chose those steps. But it is temporary. Jan Brewer, bless her heart, she’s going to do all that she can to continue down the litigation path to allow secure borders. Jan Brewer has the cojones that our President does not have to look our for all Americans in this desire of ours to secure our borders and allow legal immigration to help build this country as was the purpose of immigration law. If our own president will not enforce a federal law, more power to Jan Brewer.â€
Obama loyalists are already shouting that this is crude, juvenile, lowbrow and undignified.  And it’s also exactly right, and that’s what scares them more than anything!  Even on the left, the biggest complaint about Obama is that he never has the guts to take a real stand on anything, and that’s exactly what Sarah’s getting at here.   Okay, it’s even more cutting than that – she just said that Jan Brewer is more of a man than Obama is. (btw, notice how she slyly did more to empower women with that statement than anything NOW has done in the last 40 years?)  And that’s *also* exactly right!!! The democrat’s greatest fear is that more and more voters are starting to realize this about him. Obama loves to talk tough, but talk is all he’s got. When push comes to shove against a real adversary, Obama appears ready to fold every time.  Just like he’s folding on immigration. Look at his actual policy results in this area – he promises border enforcement, but does nothing. He promises the Hispanic caucus an immigration bill, but does nothing.  He promised a big push to resolve this problem once and for all, and then gave a speech at the end of June in which he wished someone else (not him) would come up with a solution that would fix all of this, cause he kinda thought that would be A Good Thing. (and then did nothing) When Arizona tries to step up to the plate, the only action he can motivate himself to support is legal action to ensure that not only will he have to do nothing, no one else will be allowed to do anything either.
Zero truly is the best description of him and his actions we could have, because that’s what they all amount to. President Zero.
Here’s the opening lines of Mediaite’s take on it:
“Here is further proof that Sarah Palin is some sort of political, media genius. Any other politician in the country who announced on a nationally televised Sunday morning talk show that the President of the United States didn’t have “the cojones†that Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer has when it comes to taking on immigration would likely be forced to apologize within 24 hours. Sarah Palin, meanwhile, has probably just inspired a new t-shirt line.â€

One of the funniest parts of this is that they hate her so much that they can’t do anything to her or say anything about her that they haven’t already done or said. They’ve done everything they can to drive her from the stage, and it hasn’t worked! So now all the political establishment can do is to sit and fume while she steals the show, time after time.
I just love it when a plan comes together!

And what really aggravates them is that she is not a candidate for any office. They can’t waste resources this close to an election to fire much back at her else they distract resources from their political campaigns.
She is much more powerful now as a non-candidate that she would be as a candidate for something.
She’s a grizzly I wouldn’t want to tangle with.
The entire Washington establishment are the biggest clowns in this circus.
Excellent post, AJ.
I would only add that the choice to use the word “cojones” is interesting, and shows that Sara may have a pair also. Not all hispanics are in lock-step with the left on immigration; Sara seems to sense this; the “cojones” word may be a challenge to moderate hispanics to begin to speak out?
This is perhaps one of the greatest insults Sarah could make against Zero.
First, it is a women saying it. Second she is saying another women has them when Obama does not. Third she is using a Spanish/Latin macho term to describe his timidity, ineffectiveness and weakness about an issue involving Latinos. Finally there is truth to it.
Sarah is brilliant! Nothing comes close to her use of strong visual images and humor. This is purely Reaganisque.
I bet this brought a temporary smile on the face of the most ardent Latino leftists.
“So now all the political establishment can do is to sit and fume while she steals the show, time after time”
They remind me of Dante’s image of Satan – frozen from the waste down while his three drooling heads thrash about and the beating of his wings further cools the ice entrapping him.
I’m sorry it has come to this kind of language. But I must say Obama and this thugs brought it on themselves. Obama is so outrageous in his words and demonization that only “a Sarah” has the cojones to confront him head on.
Good rundown of the levels here, Alert1201 – you’re exactly right, it’s Reaganesque because it appears to be extremely simple when in fact it is well thought out and quite complex. Allow me to add one more way it cuts, call it the time release: As is already clear today, Obama is going to say nothing and make no response to this – he’s going to just try and pretend it didn’t happen. But if his response to a direct challenge to his manhood is to just slink away and pout, then hasn’t that very response just proved that the original remarks were dead-on accurate?
And that’s how a narrative starts to stick.
“But if his response to a direct challenge to his manhood is to just slink away and pout, then hasn’t that very response just proved that the original remarks were dead-on accurate?”
Right! Then Sarah can say on her next Fox appearance that our president does not have the cajones to defend is own cajones.
It is interesting because it can’t be thrown back at here.
Obama: Palin has no cajones.
Palin: *blink*
I love Sarah but she is wrong in her analysis. It’s a nice rhetorical shot but……….One must quit thinking of Obama as a typical politician. He is an infliltrator, he is in office to serve a function, to destroy and plant seeds for future destruction. Popularity and re-election of no concern.
Obama does not lack ability, or fortitude, he lacks the desire. If he wanted to he would.
Angry illegals serve his agenda. The agenda is to further divide and water down U.S identity and sovereignty. He is buying time to let in more alien communists and fellow enemies.

I don’t agree with his lack of concern on popularity. I think these ‘little shots’ hit home with the little man….
Otherwise, spot on.
The Washington hypocrites don’t get how she does it, but we do. She simply tells the effing TRUTH! No BS, no spin, no equivocations, she just says what everyone can see is obvious. That is why she is what she is, that is why they hate her and that is why they all suck.
She has committed the unforgivable sin of not being embarrassed to disagree with the lefty loons. Good for her, the left needs several hard punches in the face.
