According to Republican Strategist Roger Stone, Palin<\/a> did the right thing on Friday if she wants to run for President in 2012. Meanwhile, on Fox News, Palin<\/a> got hammered. Yes, I said Fox News slammed her. A Republican running for national office without the support of Fox News is…well…impossible. Good luck Sarah Palin (Check out what Pulitzer Prizewinner Eugene Robinson<\/a> thinks)!You are every wolf’s and every progressive guy interested in Interdependence’s worst nightmare. But if you run against Obama, you are a dream come true. Please do it. Please. Maybe you can make Donald Rumsfeld<\/a> your running mate. Or Oscar the Grouch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nWatching that fiasco at the same time as President Obama in Russia<\/a>  and Nuclear Disarmament agreement<\/a> with Dmitry Medvedev<\/a>
\nwas pretty amazing. In less than six months, Obama has begun to repair
\nmany damaged international relationships in Russia, Europe, The Middle
\nEast, Asia, and Latin America. I am less than thrilled with a few of
\nhis policy positions, but I could not be happier with his diplomatic
\nskill. It is unbelievable. Even Sarkozy<\/a> loves him!<\/p>\n

Just, imagine, just for fun, President Palin<\/a> meeting Medvedev. Wow. Wow. Wow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
