Are the Gloves Finally Coming Off?

Republicans have been waiting to see what Gov. Sarah Palin would do next, and it appears that those who were hoping that she would finally start attacking the Obama campaign for their gaffes, inconsistent positions, and the untoward statements that have been buried by a media that lists heavily to the left are finally going to have red meat to sink their collective teeth into.

She interviewed with Carl Cameron after the debate and let's just say that she's taking the gloves off.

She then aimed to defend herself for some of the criticism she got for the Couric interview. She was blasted for not answering Couric’s question on any of the periodicals she reads or even a Supreme Court decision that she disagreed with. She defended some of the circular answers she gave the CBS anchor saying that she did not get to cover some of the topics she saw as important, “But in those Katie Couric interviews I did feel that there were a lot of things that she was missing in terms of an opportunity to ask what a V.P. candidate stands for. What the values are represented in our ticket. I wanted to talk about Barack Obama increasing taxes, which would lead to killing jobs. I wanted to talk about his proposal to increase government spending by another trillion dollars.”

She then slammed Barack Obama calling him disqualified to be President of the United States, “Some of his comments that he has made about the war that I think may — in my world– disqualifies someone from consideration as the next commander in chief.” Palin said, “Some of his comments about Afghanistan and what we are doing there supposedly– just air raiding villages and killing civilians. That’s reckless. So I wanted to talk about things like that. So I guess I have to apologize about being a little annoyed, but that is also an indication of being outside that Washington elite and being outside the media elite also and just wanting to talk and just wanting to talk to Americans without the filter and let them know what we stand for.”

The media would rather try and focus on the fact that Gov. Palin didn't get the name of a general in Afghanistan correct, while ignoring the facts that Sen. Biden doesn't know his US Constitution, the situation regarding Hizbullah, the Arab-Israeli conflict, or that taxing Americans and their businesses is a recipe for disaster in a down economy.

The media would rather not point out that Sen. Biden completely got Sen. Obama's stance on dealing with Ahmadinejad wrong.



And for all those folks who are concerned about Gov. Palin's experience, how exactly is Sen. Obama getting a pass on the fact that he's got the least experience of any Presidential candidate of at least the past 100 years. Even Harry S. Truman had more experience. Sen. Biden didn't think Obama had sufficient experience. Even Obama was forced to concede he was inexperienced. And yet, here we are because the media had decided that Obama's experience isn't an issue.
