USA Today is reporting, on their “On Politics” blog, that Sarah Palin is giving the President good marks for his speech today in Oslo. President Obama spoke of how there are times in which war is justified. “I liked what he said," Palin told USA Today in a phone interview. "I talked too in my book about the fallen nature of man and why war is necessary at times."

I was surprised by the content of O's speech, and thought he made some good comments (offset by some things he could have left unsaid), but overall pretty good. He touched on some points that he previously has been criticized for ignoring (e.g. dissidents in oppressive regimes).
And I thought he made a good case for the need and justification for war. There didn't seem to be all that apologizing for America that he's done in the past.

I noticed a number of people in the audience nodded at various points - not sure if it was in agreement, or they were falling asleep. He did get some enthusiastic applause. Not sure that's a good sign, coming from socialists.

YECH! I really don't care what these...these...er..."people" have to say....their opinion is nothing ...

""I talked too in MY book(ME MY ME MY ) about the fallen nature of man""""


Babbling incoherently about the what???? "fallen nature of man" (???)


When something like that offers an opinion....it's nothing....

They liked it but the doltish knuckledraggers in the Nobel Committee didn't. I think Obama figured out that those bozos can do nothing for him and were only playing him for a fool. So he returned the favor and thumbed his nose at them.
If he does the same thing at the Copenhagen Global Warming con artists convention, he'll prove he's growing a backbone and a brain and is rising above being an invertebrate.

That Gingrich and Palin liked the speech means what exactly?

Their opinions are worth exactly what Obama paid for them.
