Sarah Palin celebrated Presidents’ Day by releasing a video on her political action committee website, SarahPAC.com. While she calls for celebration, mentioning George Washington she states, “Though Presidents’ Day is now the more commonly-used term, and has expanded to include all presidents, the legal term for this federal holiday remains Washington’s Birthday.” She never uttered President Barack Obama’s name once.
Shocked? No, me neither. Speaking slowly as if the failed Governor of Alaska is making history, with applause in the background, she appears to be whoring for attention/money or a nomination – or a combination of all of the aforementioned.
Palin goes on to call for enduring and restoring America. She posted the video along with this letter to supporters:
Celebrating George Washington’s birthday is an American tradition to honor our first president. Though Presidents’ Day is now the more commonly-used term, and has expanded to include all presidents, the legal term for this federal holiday remains Washington’s Birthday.
We honor President Washington, not because he was flawless; he was not. He was, however, the epitome of self-sacrifice–both as a soldier and a statesman. It was that sacrifice that helped make America what it was destined to become. We honor him because of what he accomplished and the manner in which he approached service to this nation: with a servant’s heart.I am on record as acknowledging President Washington as my favorite Founder precisely because of that heart. He did not seek power. He accepted it reluctantly. He answered the call, offered himself up in the name of service, and helped to usher in a new day. At a time when he could have remained in office perpetually, as some expected, he chose to return to life as a citizen rather than seek a third term. He fulfilled his destiny, and his legacy is secure.
It is refreshing to reflect on one who was so far removed in spirit from the inside baseball that too often defines politics now. America celebrates President Washington for his decision to serve for the right reasons. Today, we could certainly use a little more Washington in DC and a little less BS in Washington.
(My bold)
Sarah couldn’t remember the Founding Fathers’ names. Unless she wants to accuse Glenn Beck of asking ‘gotcha’ questions.’
My question is, did she even remember our President’s name? Perhaps creating more division is monetarily more beneficial to Ms. Palin.
Many thanks to HuffPo
