Sarah Palin: Brewer Has 'Cojones'; Obama, not so much (Updated)

*
Sarah Palin offered praise for Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer Sunday morning for defending her state's immigration law in court against Eric Holder's lawsuit. Gov Palin said her friend Brewer has the "cojones" that President Obama lacks on the critical issue of border security:

Palin said on "Fox News Sunday" that Brewer is tackling border security and putting her faith in legal immigration where Obama is not.

"Jan Brewer has the cojones that our president does not have," she said. "If our own president will not enforce our federal law, more power to Jan Brewer."

[...]

Palin called the judge's ruling "unfortunate" but hopefully "temporary."

"There are many, many more steps to take," she said, adding that the case could come before the Supreme Court.

Gov. Palin also called Obama and congressional Democrats "all wet" for planning to let the Bush tax cuts expire, adding, "It's idiotic to think about increasing taxes at a time like this."

Asked by host Chris Wallace what she had written on her palm, the 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate held up her hand to show the words "$3.8 trillion over 10 years," the cost, Republicans say, of allowing the cuts to expire. Wallace inquired why she wrote the palm note, and she replied:

"...so I don’t say ‘$3.7 trillion’ and then get dinged by the liberals saying I don’t know what I was talking about."

We'll have the video of her comments up when Fox releases it, and, no, we're not going to link to any of the biased lamestream media stories on this FNS appearance. The usual media suspects can float down the River Styx in a hand basket to Hades. Frankly, we've grown weary of giving them page hits to spread their DNC attack memes about Sarah Palin.

Update: More quotes from Gov. Palin's FNS appearance via Chris Wallace's blog:

"To reduce deficit spending and our enormous debt, you rein in spending. You cut the budget. You don't take more from the private sector and grow government with it. And that's exactly what Obama has in mind with this expiration of Bush tax cuts proposal of his. His commitment to let previous tax cuts expire are going to lead to even fewer job opportunities for Americans, because it's the job creators who will be taxed.”

[...]

“I think President Obama is trying to deceive the public in pretending that he was not a part of Congress that has made some decisions in the past that got us to where we are today. It just amazes me that he continues to look backward and blame solely President Bush for the conundrum that we're in right now… We're not out of the problem. We have a jobless recovery and that's no recovery in the minds of most Americans.”

[...]

“As for the unfavorable, you know, I don't blame people for not really knowing what it is, in some instances what I stand for, what my record is because if I believed everything that I read in or heard in the media, I wouldn't like me either.”
