Sarah Palin’s Great Response to The State of Union
A brief report on Sarah Palin’s speech to the Tea Party Convention in Tennessee by Matthew Continetti of the Weekly Standard.
An excerpt from the article:
The timing of the speech was also significant. Palin used the talk … to respond to the president’s State of the Union address from last week. Palin’s mention that today is Ronald Reagan’s birthday positioned her squarely among his heiresses. More interesting, Palin started off with a concentrated attack on the Obama administration’s national security policies–not an issue for which the Tea Partiers are known. Palin noted that the president spent hardly any time on foreign policy during his annual report to Congress–indeed, she spent more time on our Israeli and Japanese allies, our Iranian and jihadist adversaries, and our strategic competitors than he did. And when Palin said that America needs a commander in chief, not a law professor, the crowd went wild; one was momentarily transported back to her famous speech at the 2008 Republican National Convention.
