Sarah Palin: Liberals think "Barack's bombs are the bomb"

President Obama's decision to authorize U.S. airstrikes on military strongholds of Islamic militants in Iraq and Syria as well as a group said to be plotting an attack on the West is just another "scandal" liberals are clinging to in order to "distract" from all their other controversies, Sarah Palin told a thrilled crowd Friday.

"These Alinsky-lovin', Orwellian, out-of-touch command-and-control elitists who've been running the show?" Palin told the Values Voter Summit audience in Washington, D.C. "Well, they used to rail against big government and the man. Remember that? Huh? They are the man! Their M.O.? It's to play the politics of personal destruction against anyone that they would deem a threat to their power.

"And they distract," she went on, "be-bopping from one scandal after another, knowing that there are so many that you can't keep up with all of them. So no one's ever held accountable. From the IRS corruption to you being spied on to, gosh, Benghazi, to bailouts, to, oh, 'Bush's war was bad, but Barack's bombs? Oh, baby. Those red lines? The strategery there that was thought up on the Back 9? Barack's bombs, oh; they're the bomb.' Well, goodness sake."

Always a big draw at conservative cattle calls, the former Alaska governor-turned-professional pundit peppered her remarks with signature catchphrases like "the status quo has got to go." At one point, she wielded a coffee cup in a gag aimed at the president's now-infamous "coffee cup salute" moment.

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin had a bit of trouble identifying the address of the White House during a speech at the Values Voter Summit.

Speaking ahead of her, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, who rocketed to political stardom as the effective runner-up for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, bragged that he's been to all nine Values Voter summits. He implored the audience - keen to his mantle of social conservatism - to "quit being scared and start being activists."

"I have never been involved in a race, where you play defense on an issue and yet you put points on the board - and yet that's what we do," Santorum said. "If you look at the current conservative movement, the Republican Party, there are issues we haven't even lost yet, and we're talking about giving up."

And wrapping up the afternoon session, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal delivered a speech that sounded very much like a trial run for a 2016 White House bid. Though he tossed some red meat to the audience on social issues like religious freedom, one of his most talked-about lines accused Mr. Obama of harboring reservations about ISIS leaders being "hunted down, killed and destroyed."

Swedish Social Democrats Confident on Coalition to Pass Budget

The Social Democrats, Swedens biggest political party, will proceed with forming a minority government with the Greens and now faces a challenging couple of months of work to pass its first budget.

Its a firm conviction that we will present a government and also present a budget that can pass in parliament, Social Democratic leader Stefan Loefven said at a press conference today in Stockholm. No budget has of course been completed.

Sweden was cast into political turmoil after Sept. 14 elections gave neither of the two traditional blocs a majority. Voters flocked to the Sweden Democrats, an anti-immigration party which no one wants to cooperate with. The nationalist party more than doubled to 49 seats in parliament, enough to sway the balance of power in favor of either group.

Loefvens alliance with the Greens will hold 138 seats in the 349-seat legislature and he will need votes from the ex-communist Left Party to pass budgets. Rules allow for fiscal spending bills to pass by a plurality in order to make it easier for minority coalitions to govern.

Yet even with backing from the Left the government faces a tricky parliamentary situation since the Sweden Democrats could decide to back the four-party oppositions shadow budget. That would force a government crisis and could trigger the first early election in more than half a century. Parliament votes on the budget in December.

Were putting together a budget that we of course think will pass in parliament but how the Sweden Democrats will vote, how that vote will turn out, no one can be sure about, Loefven said. Thats completely up to them.

The Left has conditioned supporting the Social Democrats on limiting profits at private providers of welfare services such as education and health-care funded by taxpayers.

All is pointing in the direction that Stefan Loefven will become our next prime minister and thats good, Left Party leader Jonas Sjoestedt told reporters.

Right now were negotiating about profits in the welfare sector. When weve completed that and have agreed, which we still havent, we will negotiate a state budget, he said.

According to a time-line issued by parliament, the legislature, called the Riksdag in Swedish, will vote on a new prime minister after it opens a new session on Sept. 30, which could happen as early as Oct. 2.
