***UPDATED WITH SECOND INTERVIEW***

Sarah Palin criticizes Boehner for trying to reinvent the wheel and not sticking with Cut, Cap, and Balance which is why he is having trouble getting enough votes to pass his current plan. But she also criticizes Obama for scaring the American people with this crisis mentality and says he doesn’t understand that we have a spending problem in this country, which prompts her to reiterate: “It’s the spending stupid!”

***

UPDATE: Second interview added from her interview on Follow the Money where she points out that Obama is incapable of communicating the right message regarding our impending bankruptcy because he doesn’t understand the principles on which our country was founded:

Sarah just kicked BO's a$$ all over the yard. When she gets in the race, it's going to get messy, but she will be the force that drives out the 'progressive' cancer that's eating this country alive. Like the honey badger, she doesn't give a shiite whose a$$ she has to kick, R or D, and they ALL fear her. And they should.

It's the spending stupid!

I have been saying it for years.

Finally some one who gets media coverage is stating the obvious .. will that ever seep into Washington's psyche time will tell.

So tell me where she answered Greta's first question posed at 1:34 seconds into the "discourse"- and then again at 6 minutes she/Greta posed another question- at what point did Sarah give an answer-though I agree with her angst towards O I didn't hear a direct answer to the questions-sound bites to me are the same talking points said again and again!

Cheryl Fallon

At 1:34 sec into the interview Greta asks Sarah how to unscare the American people-she never answered it...she talks round and round the same talking points that yes I agree with but she doesn't always answer the questions! And Greta likes her!!!

At 6:03 minutes into the segment Greta asks another question which she didn't answer-she went on to talk about O's faults-which I agree with and I already know! Maybe instead of talking around and around she should just directly answer the question asked...to me she IS a Politician no doubt about that!

So, reemployment via WW III? Against China? Sounds like a plan.

Unfortunately, you are more correct than you could possibly realize.

Step 1 - Rothschild's build duplicate COMEX exchange in China so they can fund and control finances on both sides easily and make a fortune from both sides while doing it - their typical MO. HKMEX. Check.

Step 2 - Increasing number of hostile events involving spy planes and air space violations. Vietnamese coastal incursions. All events escalating in frequency and severity. Check.

Step 3 - Military procurement from China finding embedded backdoors allowing shut down of sensitive US Military equipment at will. - Military cyberspace wars, widespread penetrations of sensitive military computers. Lots more stuff not being talked about - like China duplicating the US GPS system. Well underway...

Step 4 New weapons technology - anti aircraft-carrier EMP weapons, hundreds of new nuclear warheads being built under cover of new power plant facility development. China bypassing US markets and buying oil directly from a nuclear Iran. This step is pretty well underway.

Step 5 - MSM anti-China propaganda push - economic crash - the Chinese took all our jobs, etc. - escalating bitterness over push for trade wars - this step soon to play on a talking head channel near you.

The owners of the current "leadership" of this country will never allow us to be energy independent - they prefer wars and more debt...

Go, Sarah, go. Obama knows exactly what he is doing. This is his basic aim, destroy the USA. Today, he closed some Post Offices, he is following his Oman's direction. The dollar is heavily falling on world markets. Impeach Impeach.

She'll have a hard row to hoe if she runs and wins. Our King Hussain is playing for a total economic collapse come 2013. If the libs win, they'll take advantage of the crisis and this country, as we know it, will cease to exist. America will finally have been defeated by Communists and radicals - from within.

If someone else wins, they'll inherit a MASSIVE global train wreck - a hollow shell of a US "service" economy based on doing each others laundry and flipping burgers - tofu, of course, served up with apple slices - that no one will even be able afford to buy anymore. TPTB - the powers that be - will "scorch the earth" behind them as they leave this country for dead and move onto China. The American dollar will be dropped as the worlds reserve currency. Very likely, tens-of-millions will die in this country of disease and starvation.

It will take many years to turn things around, to rebuild this country. Unlike the previous great depression, we don't have, and can't easily reboot, a manufacturing base to produce our way out. Our steel mills are gone - We ship boat loads of iron ore to China, have it refined and processed there and shipped back. We ship boatloads of felled trees to China, have them processed there, and have lumber shipped back.

It is going to take someone of incredible character and honesty to preside over the coming hard, cold winter, get people to realize that our country has been sold out, our Constitution subverted, and that the very moral fabric of Western society was deliberately undermined and contaminated, polluted by self-hatred instilled by an educational system that now blatantly brainwashes rather than educates.

Remember "United we stand, divided we fall?" Our society has been fragmented into dozens of warring factions by class warfare, Black versus White versus Hispanic versus Asian - rich versus poor - young versus old - Christian versus Moslem versus Atheist. Anywhere a wedge could be driven between two groups, it has been and disharmony, anger and propaganda used to fan the flames of rage between "us" and "them".

I will vote for Sarah Palin if she decides to run. And, like millions of others, I have a campaign contribution ready to go on the day she announces. Even King Hussain's offshore billionaire contributors are likely to be shocked by the amount of money she raises in her first week. I would like her to be our leader, but I do not envy her, or anyone else, the task. I pray that Sarah Palin, one small, honest, God fearing woman has strong enough shoulders to take on the enormous burden that will be laid there upon - to guide our entire country through the wilderness and coming darkness.

God Bless you Sarah Palin, and God Bless the Unites States of America.

There is so much money and demand on the sidelines. If the next C-I-C with executive orders shut down the EPA, the ESA, the Energy Department and opened up all the oil and gas spigots the $$$ flowing in will blow all that away.

Black gold is still the foundation of riches on this globe. As soon as we stop pretending otherwise our fortunes will turn on a dime.

We'd better start building some refineries then. We aren't even close to having enough refineries to be able to meet our current domestic gasoline needs, much less our heating oil and other needs. Also - you implicitly assume that the US dollar will continue to be the worlds reserve currency, which it won't. When it isn't, it won't have enough value left to buy drilling rigs, hire Mudders and Mud Engineers, and feed them long enough to drill any of that oil. Can't build pipelines without buying pipe from China, can't manufacture them, can't manufacture diddly-squat in this country anymore. It will take 10+ years to even start rebuilding that capacity.

Our banks have hundreds of billions of dollars of CDS (Credit Default Swaps) exposure to a default event just taking place in Greece, much less the trillions of dollars worth exposure to the other PIIGS, or even BRICS countries. We are just one global "black swan" event away from triggering a complete credit-market seizure, massive bank failures, and complete economic collapse of this country. Your local ATM won't be disgorging any cash and your bank, credit union and S&L will be closed.

The major urban centers in this country have approximately two days worth of food available, and it is needs to be refreshed constantly. Within a couple of days after a credit seizure, the trucks stop rolling. Three days after that, major urban centers will be burning.

We're already paying zero-to-negative returns on Treasuries and mathematically can't ever repay the national debt now. We're looking at mathematical certainty of an economic collapse by no later than 2020. We're in deeper debt than any other country in the world - Greece and Zimbabwe are merely trivial glimpses of what will be happening here in the US in the near future, debt ceiling raise or no. Another 100 or so basis points on our Treasuries and our debt service expenses quickly exceeds our GDP.

Ron Paul discovered that the FED spent 16 trillion dollars bailing out Europe, and look how well that's turning out. Money spent and gone - TARP a joke, that money didn't get spent in the US. We have unfunded liabilities in the HUNDREDS of trillions of dollars that don't show up on the debt books - and there isn't enough debt-money on the entire planet to even come close to bailing us out.

There are no simple fixes - our banks accounts have been emptied, our credit cards are maxed out, our manufacturing capability gutted, the cars and the houses are being repossessed, and we don't have jobs. And this is likely as good as it's going to get for a long, long time.

Obama's plan is to destroy us.

That's why he doesn't want to put it down on paper.

The big problem with raising the Debt Ceiling yet again...is when will it ever be reduced back downward?

I think that Sarah Palin is one of the few leaders who would ever try to reduce the Debt Ceiling.

Thank goodness she had another interview! She was getting all warmed up on Greta and then it was over. She is what we need in America. We need commonsense and true, bold leadership, not politics as usual! We need a real change and the only person out there speaking out on a national level consistently and with a record of reform in the interest of the people is Sarah Palin. Run, Sarah, run! Palin 2012, Game On!

Sarah has already won. She's kicked a$$ at every single challenge so far. To go up on high now and let the media nit-pick her to death the way they do on all modern US wars is not a winning plan.

Besides, there's going to be no money to work with at all... no stimulus. Nothing but austerity measures and union protests in our future. She deserves and already has better.
