Disgraceful as Sarah Palin accuses Obama of racism, anti-Americanism -- new book "America By Heart" launches today

Sarah Palin's new book "America By Heart" makes disgraceful allegations about President Obama calling him an America hater and a racist.

She claims Obama is ashamed of being American "I think ordinary Americans are tired of Obama's global apology tour and of hearing about what a weak country America is from left-wing professors and journalists," Palin says.

She could not be more wrong. Anyone traveling abroad can see how Obama has revitalized America's image after the nightmare Bush era.

Obama has made America beloved again overseas-- though Palin would hardly know that having only rarely travelled outside this country.

She claims that Obama believes that America is "somehow worse than other countries, that it is hypocritical about its ideals, falls short of its responsibilities, and is forever in need of correction".

America yearns, she says for presidents "who are not embarrassed by America, who see our country's flaws but also its greatness: leaders who are proud to be Americans, and are proud of her every day, not just when their chosen ones are winning elections".

We had every right to be embarrassed under Bush with his ridiculous Iraq war and econmic disasters

On health care she claims Obamacare has no support contrary to polls on election day that showed Americans evenly divided on the issue of health care reform :

"We will not let America sink further into debt caused by government controlling another one sixth of our economy – and mandating its approved health care coverage – without a fight. We will not abandon the American dream to government dependency, fewer freedoms, and less opportunity."

She stoops much lower though when she accuses Obama of racism

She says people let Obama "think America – at least America as it currently exists – is a fundamentally unjust and unequal country. Barack Obama seems to believe this, too. Certainly, his wife expressed this view when she said during the 2008 campaign that she had never felt proud of her country until her husband started winning elections.

"In retrospect, I guess this shouldn't surprise us, since both of them spent almost two decades in the pews of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright's church listening to his rants against America and white people."

This is pure unadulterated nonsense and Palin should know better.

This book belongs in the trash.

I think the non answer is the answer. I have no problem with mine: Male hetero, likes walks on the beach and golfs frequently.

Why do I need to give my personal details,what are yours??? The point of the discussion is Ms Palin not understanding american history let alone politics or international geography.

Kudos to Palin for having the courage to call obama out on hijacking the Democrat Party & telling the country what a slimeball obama really is. Exposing the marxist, socialist, muslim loving Potus & the pretend Democrats for what they are. The only backers of obama are the ones with swelling bank accounts, voters who will not admit they were wrong, Soros & his fellow socialists who want to see America fail. Palin is a true American heroe.

Monsoonman, your getting ridiculous, surely you are aware that Mairead is an Irish name!! and I reside in Melbourne!! Again get over yourselves and concentrate on the argument at hand, oh but you have no argument, so you need to resort to insults!! THe discussion is about the unfounded allegations of one Ms Palin, funnily enough I note that Maloney just wants to charge him, with what Maloney, being a member of the democratic party??

Mariedinmelb: I am assuming that is short for married in melbourne?...I see you and your brother and/or husband sean, seem to hold the exact views on things. Do you have another close fambly member who can give us a different point of view? Perhaps one of your kin, somehow made it through the gene pool maze and became a Tea Party member. If so let them come use your computer and talk to us. Thanks in advance.

What obama has done as an adult should get him the death penalty plain & simple. I think charges will come down the not to distant road. If he gets a chance to run, 3 guesses where he will go. You think you hate Palin now, you ain't seen nothin yet. Does anything actually ever happen in rooland? You will find that the majority of America thinks just like monsoon & myself. About 20 percent are idiots like you know who.

Being that Maloney and Monsoonman have similar views, maybe your lovers?? Or just brothers?? What does it matter stick to the dicussion, Palin is the perfect illustration of the lack of integrity and intelligence in the modern world. The dumbing down of news and the urge to sell a story not fact. What Obama did as a child is irrelevant, it is what he has done as a adult that is important. IT is the choices he has made, and I dont think he lied as a basis to wage war and invade a foreign country!!

The Bush haters would have voted for anyone, no matter the reasons not to. The love affair is over. Buyers remorse. His approval rating drops weekly. Palin could care less where Rooland is, seano's twin sister. Socialists are to stupid to accept the truth. If rooland is so great, why do you now have a Tea Party? England has a Tea Party now. They are smart enough to listen to the real Americans, unlike the poor Irish. The same Irish who desert their country every time the wind blows.

Maireadinmelb: You missed every point I gently laid out for you, is it willfull blindness, or? How about all of little soteros school records from kindergarten through his graduation from the university? Not so much for what his grades were, but for far more interesting information. Since he is not your president I suppose you can turn a blind eye. I want to know WHY his school records are sealed, what is he hiding with the help of his teams of lawyers? If it was Bush with this much hidden away, you and your ilk would be screaming like banshees, but all we hear from you are purrs of ignorant contentment.

We have all survived your diatribes here Monsoonman, and I can tell you it has not effected me!!! LOL You listed his perceived faults, what more do you need to know!! He graduated law from Harvard and was editor of the law journal what do you think his high school records will show?? And if all that was true he would not have been elected in the first place it is gossip Not everything said in the BILL OREILLY show or on fox is true...... Wasn't Bush convicted of drunk driving and he got to be president?

Anerica should question how anyone could sit in an America hating church for 20 years and NOT be affected by it. Listen to the rants obamas pastor of 20 years spewed to his congregation. Then get back to me.
