Sarah Palin For President 2012 – Hockey Mum or Hoaxer? – Presidential election – McCain – 2012 Elections
Hockey Mum or Hoaxer?
Apres the recent presidential elections, and after studying the behaviour of Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska, throughout. I came to the conclusion that I just didn’t find her to be at all warm or authentic.
Something in her make-up did not come across as sincere or at all genuine. This hockey-mom image that she is trying to put out there doesn’t fit very well with the ruthless and abrasive streak she portrays. Her voice is caustic and harsh with a waver to it; I found it grating on my nerves every time she opened her mouth. There was also no warmth or conviction to her speeches at all. She is an aggressively ambitious woman and it comes across in her whole demeaner
I also found her quite aggressive verbally if things weren’t going her way. Her speech on her arrival home to Alaska, where the reporters were waiting, was a classic example and I don’t think she was a very wise choice at all as an aide to the wholly sincere Senator McCain on the recent Presidential elections. Palin told reporters the attacks are “cruel and it’s mean-spirited, it’s immature, it’s unprofessional, and those guys are jerks.” - Charming!
She could even have quite possibly harmed McCain’s chances overall. With her ridiculous television interview with Katie Couric and her flaky response to the prank phone call from Canadian DJ and comedian, Marc-Antoinne Audette when he impersonated the French President. Her intelligence is at best, better played down and not given so high a profile as it was during the campaign.
Possible candidate for the 2012 elections! I do hope not. She also didn’t go down to well with the crowds. When Senator McCain gave his gracious defeat speech and he brought up Palin’s name there were huge boos from the crowd,
reinforcing what I already knew. Perhaps McCain did too, but alas too late.
Sarah Palin extortionately dipped in to the RNC’s (Republican National Committee) funds, some of the clothes and beauty allowance going to other members of her household. To which she retorted “Those are the RNC’s clothes. They’re not my clothes. I never forced anybody to buy anything,” Nonetheless Ms Palin has racked up a huge bill for the RNC. There will now be an inventory and they will be asking Palin to pay for said items, or returning them to the shops where they came from.
“The spending drew a complaint against Palin and the RNC by a Washington government watchdog group. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission accusing Palin and the GOP of violating a federal ban on the use of campaign funds for personal expenses such as clothing”.
For me the final nail in the Palin coffin came when Palin committed a huge faux pas and said she did not know Africa was a continent, not a country, and also she could not name the three countries in the North American Free Trade Agreement — Canada, the United States and Mexico. -
So Sarah Palin for President? – Haha! I think not - How about you? -

Sarah Palin would make an absolutely terrible preside1nt. She’s completely insincere, there’s no warmth or depth to her whatsoever, and she’s just completely false and flaky.
If she does attempt to become president in 2012 then she’ll surely not get too far, there are a lot of people against her, and given the manner in which she conducted herself going into this presidential election; rightly so, too. Showing herself up on so many occasions, she more than proved that she was not the right person for the job to aide McCain, and given how poor she was in this role; she’d surely be ten times as terrible in the main position of power as President of America.
An excellent article you’ve written there, and as for Sarah Palin for president? I think not too!
