Sarah Palin wants you to know how aggrieved she still is

Commenting on how President Barack Obama’s book mentioned her negative influence on the Republican Party and conservative politics, former half-term governor and vice-president wannabe Sarah Palin said of Obama, “He’s so still 2008,” according to a story in Newsweek.

In his book, A Promised Land, Obama noted that Palin personifies the current view of many republicans to see conspiracy and bigotry in everything from government to science to intelligence.

“Through Palin, it seemed as if the dark spirits that had long been lurking on the edges of the modern Republican Party—xenophobia, anti intellectualism, paranoid conspiracy theories, an antipathy toward Black and brown folks—were finding their way to center stage. She had no idea what the hell she was talking about,” Obama wrote.

Palin took offense at the title of Obama’s book:  “Who does he think he is, Moses? God? He sure tries to make this all sound so scary and spooky.”

It wasn’t clear if Palin had actually read the book, but she certainly opined on what she thought was in it.

“The movement that he still cannot accept nor understand evidently that began in our campaign that he now blames me for—so many Republicans being so active and elected lately—that movement was all about giving the voiceless a voice, empowering people who are fed up, want accountability in their government, want a smaller, smarter government,” Palin rambled.

Apparently, Palin does not understand that Republicans have lost the popular vote in every presidential election since she ran as John McCain’s running mate in 2008.  Palin also failed to recognize Obama’s reelection in 2012 and Joe Biden’s election this year.

Palin noted how she’s been exiled by the Republican Party since her brief time on the national stage.  After losing the 2008 presidential election, Palin tried to fashion herself as an impactful outsider by endorsing outsider candidates in 2010.  Her endorsement record was poor:  in races in which her chosen candidate had a 5 percentage point or less lead at the time of her endorsement, her candidate won just 40% of the races.

After that, Palin undertook a career in show business, appearing in a number of outdoors-related reality shows.

“It’s so real. The GOP establishment, that machine, they don’t like anybody going rogue, shaking it up, not taking their turn. So no, they don’t like Trump and they never liked me,” Palin said, recalling she was not invited to Obama’s inauguration, McCain’s 2018 funeral and was not asked to speak at the Republican convention.
