Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin Slams President Obama For ‘Giving American People The Middle Finger’

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin believes President Barack Obama is giving Americans the middle finger by taking executive action on immigration. Speaking before Obama’s Thursday night address, the former 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee said in a video on SarahPalinChannel.com that the president is endangering the nation. “This is the epitome of giving the American people the middle finger. He’s endangering our nation by doing this,” Palin stated.



Obama’s executive actions are designed to make nearly 5 million immigrants illegally in the United States eligible for protection from deportation and for work permits. It would mainly cover parents of U.S. citizens and of legal residents as long as the parents have been in the U.S. for five years or more. But Obama’s actions also would change enforcement priorities by emphasizing the deportation of new illegal arrivals and criminals.

“Illegal immigration could move from a flood to a tsunami and our swamped Border Patrol officials will be utterly unable to manage the crisis as they are already telling the powers-that-be,” Palin said. Palin added that the newly elected Republican Congress does not have a responsibility to work with Obama to move his agenda forward. “We voted this Congress in to stop Obama,” Palin said. “The GOP majority has no obligation, no responsibility, to work with Obama to usher in more of his agenda to fundamentally transform America. No, we voted to stop Obama.” Obama’s decision to bypass Congress with his directives infuriated Republicans, who have accused him of vastly exceeding his authority. Obama, already prepared with a counter-argument, noted that the GOP-controlled House had failed to act on a bipartisan bill that passed in the Senate last year. http://washington.cbslocal.com/2014/11/21/palin-obama-giving-american-people-the-middle-finger/

Isn't there a neighborhood party somewhere that you and your
other Wasilla Hillbillies feel obliged to turn into a drunken brawl?

She didn't have the grit required to do the whole job.

I'm partial to the allure of Alaska as a frontier, but she is very simply a nitwit.

Obama is the farthest person from using his middle finger I know of, in politics.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

DU ToS: "Do not post or link to pornography." Nudity should generally not be posted here, and if so should be done so sparingly & with an "NSFW" tag.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Nov 21, 2014, 03:36 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I wouldn't consider this porn. I think it is nice. I like it...
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Did not need to see that, could have offered a link instead and state NSFW.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Hmmmm. I came close to voting to leave (it's only buttocks after all) but thinking about people who might be at work I decided to vote to hide. Close call, but if you post nudity you take your chances.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: This board is too classy for this.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
