So bad that lefty journalist Jack Cafferty of CNN is asking his readers “What Can President Obama Learn From Sarah Palin?”
“With President Obama now below 50 percent approval for the first time, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd suggests the president could learn “a thing or three” from Sarah Palin.”
“Dowd writes that with the former V-P candidate back on the trail for her book tour, she clearly hasn’t boned up on anything and “she still has that Yoda-like syntax.”
“Meanwhile – it’s clear Sarah Palin is saying something people want to hear. She sold 300,000 copies of her memoir on the day of its release – one of the best openings ever for a nonfiction book, easily topping people like Hillary Clinton.”
“As for President Obama – the Gallup Daily Tracking poll puts his approval rating at 49 percent – the first time he’s dropped below 50 percent since taking office.”
“Here’s my question to you: What can President Obama learn from Sarah Palin?”
Here are a few of the choice quotes Jack Cafferty featured on the air and my responses:
Audrey from British Columbia:
He could learn that by being ignorant, vapid, divisive and stupid that the media will follow you around and make out that you are bigger and better than you really are. Sarah Palin is a “media phenom” and nothing else – just the fact that you have this question on your program should state the obvious to you.
ME:
You’re right Audrey. It’s too bad that the media doesn’t follow Obama around making him out to be bigger than he is. President Obama certainly isn’t a “media phenom.”
Chad from Alaska:
How to be a quitter in the middle of a term.
ME:
Good point Chad. At least Obama finished a single term as a US Senator before running for president. Oh wait.. He didn’t do that, did he?
Lisa says:
How to make bumper sticker catch-phrases sound like policy to 26% of the nation.
ME:
Lisa, do you mean empty catch-phrases like “Yes We Can?”
Thomas from Texas:
Not to wear shorts on the cover of news magazines if you are to be taken seriously as a politician.
ME:
Thomas, did no one at CNN tell you that Sarah Palin didn’t choose to have that photo on the cover of Newsweek? No, of course they didn’t.
Just a reminder… CNN is in last place among cable news networks.
Any wonder why?
