WASHINGTON, D.C. (YBH.ME) – Today, Barack Obama called for an end to “petty politics” in Washington, D.C. Apparently, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs didn’t get the memo.
Below is video of him mocking Sarah Palin for jotting notes on her hand before a big speech:
Sarah Palin, a quiet contender for the 2012 Republican nomination, has been roundly criticized by those on the left for writing a few simple notes on her hand before a speech last weekend. Mr. Obama himself has come under fire from conservatives for bringing his trusty teleprompter almost everywhere, including a sixth-grade classroom. Mr. Obama briefed reporters using the teleprompter, not the 12 year-old students. However, the visual was not a flattering one for the President.
A Palin/Obama 2012 match-up would be great for television ratings as the campaign would be hard-fought. Another phrase for it would be “grudge match”, or is it “fur would fly”? It would be less great for the country, as polling suggests that both would-be candidates are increasingly only supported by their respective party’s uber-partisan base.
