Palin: ‘God Bless George W. Bush’

And old saying: Beware careful what you say because it can come back to bite you in the ass, so to speak. Not too long along, Palin threw the Bush Administration under the bus for the loss in the McCain-Palin election. Now, she praises Bush. I guess she needs to find a friend.

Thinkprogress:

Speaking to the Anchorage Daily News this past weekend, Palin said that the McCain-Palin ticket lost because of the Bush administration’s mistakes, including his “blunders” on national security:

Q. Why do you think your campaign lost?

A. I think the Republican ticket represented too much of the status quo, too much of what had gone on in these last eight years, that Americans were kind of shaking their heads like going, wait a minute, how did we run up a 10 trillion dollar debt in a Republican administration? How have there been blunders with war strategy under a Republican administration? If we’re talking change, we want to get far away from what it was that the present administration represented.
But today in her speech to the Republican Governors Association, Palin wholeheartedly embraced the President, making clear that she had been looking forward to a third Bush term:

PALIN: In politics, people sometimes go to great lengths to avoid stating the obvious, but I think it’s about time that we all remembered that the greatest measure of a president is whether he protected and defended this great country. America’s 43rd president took that foremost responsibility, that most important charge, seriously. He poured his life into it. He succeeded in keeping America safe from another attack.

I’m thankful he is my soldier son’s commander in chief and for that, I say God bless George W. Bush, and I thank you, Mr. President.

Soldier son sounds a bit odd to say. I listened to the video and clearly it sounded like Palin said "my sole son's commander-in-chief" and not "my soldier son's" according to transcript. Was it a freudian slip or was the transcript correct? Go judge for yourself.
