Palin Bus Tour Looks Suspiciously Like a 2012 Campaign

Reader Comments

Bush regularly traveled with an entourage 40% larger than the 500 taken by Obama.
Here are two such trips which G.W. took 700 people with him, one in 2003 and one in 2007.

"Bill Clinton gets 150k or more per speaking gig, and Sarah Palin, love her or hate her, charges $100,000 to speak"

Who doesn't like to watch a self-centered, arrogant women with a lack of empathy swindling the Tea Baggers/Masochistic men? I enjoy how this Narcissist believes she is entitled to use deceitful, underhanded tactics to exploit Tea Bagger/Masochistic men. The persona of this Narcissist the Tea Baggers/Masochistic men are bonding with does not exist and is the perfect example of how a Predator preys on the weak. The "One Narcissist Tour" should never end and yes we Liberals enjoy watching the victimization of Tea Baggers/Masochistic men.

“An Entourage Surpassing the Queen's...”
“President Obama showed up at the G-20 summit in London with everything but the proverbial kitchen sink-although he did bring the White House chef and the kitchen staff.”
“The heads of government in London for the G-20 summit are discussing serious and weighty issues, which in time will be duly reported on, but right now the British press is entranced by the sheer size of President Obama's traveling entourage. And no wonder.”
“Obama arrived with 500 staff in tow, including 200 Secret Service agents a team of six doctors, the White House chef and kitchen staff with the President's own food and water.”
“And, according to the Evening Standard, he also came with "35 vehicles in all, four speech writers and 12 teleprompters." For sure, our president is not going to be at a loss for words.”
“The press duly reported on Air Force One and all its bells and whistles but also on the presence of the presidential helicopter, Marine One, and a fleet of identical decoys to ferry him from Stansted airport to central London.”
“Among all those vehicles is the presidential limousine, which one local paper mistakenly called Cadillac One, but is universally referred to as the Beast. The limo, reinforced with ceramic and titanium armor, carries a tear gas cannon, night vision devices and its own oxygen and is resistant to chemical and radiation attack. It is, marveled one reporter, a sort of mobile panic room. The Guardian called it "the ultimate in heavily armored transport."
“The president is entitled to all the security, communications and support he feels necessary to do his job but surely, when we're trying to project a more restrained, humble image to the world, the president's huge retinue could be scaled back to something less than the triumphal march from "Aida."
“And you thought that we were in the depths of a deep recession/"dire crisis" that requires Americans of all walks of life to make sacrifices! Silly You!”

The Republican Party candidates are back-pedaling with their hair on fire in the face of the Obama juggernaut. Only in times like these could the carnival barkers, Trump and Palin have relevance.
I would like to see somke backbone, along with content, emerge froom the Republican pack. The compettition would serve America well.
Thank you

Leslie (in link) & brucet brought out Sarah leaving early. I gave reason here countless times why, Sarah said why, and Bill'O said why in interview with Marshall. It just makes bucet and Leslie look stupid to mention she dropped out. Accumulating $$$ 500,000 in legal debt with no end in sight. State of Alaska does not protect elected officials from trivial lawsuits. Sarah won each & every case.
We saw in AZ shooting there does not have to be any evidence for liberals to jump to conclusions.
Arnold is dropped HERE with recent news on John Edwards. Who knows how Weiner will fare.
No coverage of vote last night because it was a MAJOR embarrassment for liberals. For one, Pelosi voted with us.
So two articles TODAY on Sarah, while I bring up what liberals don't want to hear. Off topic of course. AND darn pride to be...

First of all, it is very plain to see that, virtually, all of Leslie Marshall's blogs show that she is a staunch Democrat as well as a far-left liberal feminist, and far too often, she will stand by, with her fist in the air, her party's judgements regardless of how outlandish or fabricated their "facts" may be. I see her as a true member, if not the epitomy, of this country's "lamestream media", which continues to suffer huge loses of credibility as each day passes.
In 2009, this same "lamestream media" involving the Associated Press, an affiliate on some level with the left-handed, NY Times, sent eleven reporters to dig up "dirt" on Sarah Palin's book, "Going Rogue". The results were that they turned up little, most of which were trivial and presumably not worth the time of a team of reporters.

Leslie Marshall, in her usual fashion, trys to denegrate Sarah Palin with "non-facts" at every single turn as evidenced by her interview with Bill O'Reilly regarding Sarah's same book, "Going Rogue", on 11-20-09. Do not take my word for this ....watch the interview and you decide:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIye3KORG6o
Then Leslie Marshall mimics this "chasing Sarah all over the country" bus tour blog, which has already been deemed a "lamestream media 'paparazzi'"!
I really do not need to say more, with the exception of; inasmuch as Leslie Marshall is concerned, as a bona-fide blogger-reporter-journalist, she fails miserably! I believe, as well as most of the country, view her and this lamestream media she supports, as reporting distorted opinions, and thus, should be regarded as and null and void.
I believe Sarah is one cool cookie. I sincerely hope she does run for POTUS as I believe most of the country is mighty tired of the deflected and defective, so-called, "leadership" that has been presented by the junk that is occupying our WH now!
Sarah will bring a very needed "new life" to our beloved country.

sarah"half term"palin is out on her tour for two main reasons,first( like newt ) to pump up her ego,second,and of equal importance,is to peddle her books and trinkets while promoting her brand.
