Oh, the irony. It burns:
Sarah Palin fired up an enthusiastic Texas crowd late Saturday by criticizing President Barack Obama's handling of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, saying he's falling short on leadership.
The former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate told about 5,000 people at the Oil Palace in Tyler that the president should have been more aggressive in going after BP executives after the spill. The British company was leasing a rig that exploded April 20, causing the largest offshore oil spill in U.S. history.
"You asked for the job, Mr. President, so buck up," Palin said to voracious applause.
Maybe she means he should quit his job mid-term like she did. After all, "only dead fish go with the flow."
Or maybe he just needs to do more chanting.
"I chant, 'drill baby drill,' because it will help make the country energy independent," she said.
Yeah, we'll just chant, baby, chant our way to energy independence. And while we're at it, maybe we could chant our way to economic prosperity. And then we could chant our way to world peace.
And when chanting fails, there's always winking.
