Sarah Palin hailed Donald Trump’s claim that he has investigators in Hawaii looking into President Barack Obama’s birth, but stopped short of bolstering the notion that he wasn’t born in the U.S.
“More power to him!” Palin told former New York district attorney Jeanine Pirro on her Fox News show on Saturday, referring to The Donald’s claim that he hired probers to look into the issue.
“I appreciate that Donald wants to spend his resources in getting to the bottom of something that so interests him and many Americans,” she said.
“He’s not just throwing stones from the sidelines, he’s digging in (to it), he’s paying for researchers,” she added.
But when Pirro asked Palin’s view of the issue, the former Alaskan governor walked a careful line on the issue.
“Well, you know, I think that he was born in Hawaii because there was a birth announcement put in the newspaper,” she said. “But obviously there’s something there that the president doesn’t want people to see on that birth certificate. … He’s going to great lengths to make sure it isn’t shown. And that’s kind of perplexing for a lot of people.”
News outlets and independent groups have examined the “birther” issue and dismissed it as unfounded.

Trump/Palin 2012? Not the worst ticket around.

Here’s a catchy campaign slogan, sure to suade the voters: “We’re not the worst. We’re not the worst.”

Trump/Palin? 49-state sweep — for Obama!
Nice Try , Donald!
3 Charles,
What about the other 8 states? After all aren’t there 57 States??
nfgo3, as in: Obama/Biden are already the worst?!
Trump and Palin would be a good ticket for Palin’s career as an airheaded but superficially attractive celebrity. It would give her some high visibility and “free” publicity for several months (at the cost of the ticket’s financial backers), and then, after her second defeat as a candidate for vice president, she could resume her career as a Fox News personality.
They could run on he buffoon party ticket.
I see a potential problem with the Trump-Palin ticket. Some rivalry could develop between Palin and that thing on Trump’s head, and it is possible that that thing on Trump’s head could give a better interview than Palin.
One correction: Pirro was not New York District Attorney, she was Westchester District Attorney.
#2…a catchier slogan would be: “Can’t find the certificate for Obama? Can’t find the hiding place of Osama?…so why don’t ya’all just give up & vote for Trump & Bristol’s mama?”
