Exclusive: Palin Slams Obama for Bowing, Breaking Promises
Newsmax ^ | 11/18 | David A. Patten

________________________ ________________________ ______________

In an exclusive Newsmax interview, former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin on Tuesday sharply criticized President Obama's deep bow to the emperor of Japan, and charged Democrats "purposefully" are holding back details on their healthcare reform proposals from the American people to avoid an open debate.

On tour promoting her best-selling book, “Going Rogue: An American Life,” the former Alaska governor also told Newsmax she was so embarrassed by a Newsweek magazine cover depicting her in running shorts that she sent an e-mail to her family saying "I almost feel like I have to apologize."

Palin cited the contrast between Obama's comportment in bowing to Japanese royalty and the leadership style of former President Ronald Reagan.

"There is where his steel spine strengthened our entire nation," she said of the Republican icon. "The leadership he provided, where he allowed us to believe in ourselves as a superpower — not in an abusive way as a superpower, but as a power and a light and a hope for the rest of the world.

“That allowed us to be a healthier, safer, and more generous nation to help other nations. So those things that Ronald Reagan did . . . he said on national security issues, he said you know: 'We win. They lose.' Leadership like that we need today. [It] allows a very clear path in front of us we'd be foolish not to follow."

In criticizing the bow, Palin underscored the distinction between Reagan's view of American exceptionalism and President Obama's efforts to cast America as but one member of the community of nations.

"That [bow] made me and many of us uncomfortable, and I don't think it was just an accidental breach of protocol"

Hey Mal: Did you read my thread about the Dean of Harvard Medical saying ObamaCare sucks?

Good luck in your new profession thanks to Obama.

I like the fact she finally gave some solutions. Well, one. Cutting taxes.

i'd much rather her talk about the future of america, then spend the next 3 years talking about how bad she was treated by mccain, and how bad a job obama is doing.

If it was any old bald dude, say Joe Liebermann, spending weeks on TV talking about how bad Al Gore treated him, about how rude the magazine covers, you guys would probably tell him to man-thefvck-up and get tough. You wanna be president, but you are whining a year later about shit?

But she's hot, so her whining is suddenly presidential.

""I would start cutting taxes and allowing our small businesses to keep more of what they are earning, more of what they are producing, more of what they own and earn so that they could start reinvesting in their businesses and expand and hire more people," Palin told Walters. "Not punishing them by forcing health care reform down their throats; by forcing an energy policy down their throats that ultimately will tax them more and cost them more to stay in business. Those are backassward ways of trying to fix the economy."

I gotta admit - since she's not running to be Bush2's sidekick, I do like this version of palin much more. She's taken that anger out of her voice, which was very annoying.

I like most of her ideas too - way more than I like Obama's stance on most positions. I'm just not a fan of a president giving shout outs, or being so eager to please everyone that she thanked the french pres for the compliment on porn work. But I will admit (coming from me this is big lol) that the 2009 version of palin is way better than the 2008 attack dog.

Isn't this the one that people call the "private citizen" and hate it when the media points out what an idiot she is? She has an opinion? Amazing. Cause she ain't got much of anything else.

Reagan would turn over in his grave hearing his name come out of such a dunce's mouth.

Oh gosh here comes the 333 palin spam!

The bow is protocol. It's not weakness or anything of the sort. If others choose not to then that's fine but my gosh can't we get over it already. If you think of it as weakness then i guess you're one of those guys who likes to stare too long after a handshake to try to 'make a point' we can't all be tapout warriors trying to intimidate others.

So five guys shake his hand one bows to him in a tradition Japanese cultural way and this is bad?

Okay tap out warrior maybe he should have crushed his fingers, stared him down then choked him out huh?

kcballer · « **Reply #11 on:** November 19, 2009, 10:05:43 AM »

Is this what America has come to? You can't show respect in a cultural way because it is weak? Give me a break. I guess we get ready to just stare guys down because at some stage the right will say shaking hands is 'weak' too

Please, you are a fool. I tol Okinowan Karate for 5 years directly from a relative of Mas Oyama in NYC and no one bows like this. NO ONE!

The bow itself is no big deal. Obama being so worried about not offending anyone is.

Yes it is a big deal, that is viewed as being submissive in the Japanese culture, the junior bows deep. Besides last time I checked we are 1-0 against Japan. I really don't fucking understand you libs and your ability to justify any thing Obama does but if Palin farted in an elevator there would 50 posts about here.

F-cking Rex-Qwon-Do bitches! haha.

He shouldn't have bowed like that...not a huge deal to me but he should be briefed better on proper etiquette. A head bow or handshake is protocol.

You know what when you are the POTUS you are the man end of story, Obama, Bush etc knew what they were getting into.
Could Clinton have prevented 9/11, hell I don't know but he sure had plenty of opportunities to give Bin Ladem the dirt nap and didn't take them.
