OK, that might have been a slip of the tongue. Maybe. But I find it hysterically funny that she did it at the Republican National Convention, in front of the supporters of the "barefoot and pregnant" policies of the Republican Party.
Whether or not she back-peddled is unimportant.
I think that she believes (maybe subconsciously) that President Obama will prevail over Romney.
Personally, I think that there are a lot of Republicans, mostly women, who don't discuss their votes with anyone and will vote for the President because the Republican platform continues to promote a sexist and bigoted agenda that subjects women and their bodies to men's policies. To hell with what women want, the good old boys are in charge and determined to stay that way.
Just in case you missed the sound bite on the news, here it is again:

Well They Finally Got Bin Laden...
And you'd think that the politicians would all be happy.
Nahhhhhh....
I must have had a moment of extreme obliviousness to think that.
The Republican idiot of the decade, Sarah Palin gave credit to the President, but couldn't even say President Obama, and then went on to praise former President Bush. Bush? WTF did BUSH have to do with this? Yeah, some intelligence that led us in the wrong direction for a decade.
As for Palin, say what? She couldn't even give credit where credit is due?
And she's just the tip of the iceberg.
Freaking idiots.
Partisan politics over the overwhelming sense of relief that the instigator of terrorism is dead? Are you kidding me?
Oh my freaking goodness.

Obama's Supreme Court Choice
OMGoodness!
We FINALLY get a good pick for the Supreme Court and the GOP is having a hemorrhage about a speech that she made in 1991!
Yes, Sonia Sotomayor did say that a Latina judge "would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."
Context people, think context!
The people having the biggest fits are old white guys who were never poor. Ever.
The point is that each judge brings their own background with them to the bench. That's human, we ALL view things from the influences of our lives.
A Latina woman who came up from poverty, fighting her way into law school and success, is definitely going to view life from a different perspective than a white child of a privileged background.
In some ways, she may be more compassionate. In others, she may be harder than any of us can imagine.
Don't buy into the media and the politicians carrying on. It's all a tempest in a teapot. She'll be great!

Hope Has Prevailed Over Status Quo
Hope has prevailed over status quo.
Tonight, Barak Obama becomes our next President.
Personally, I'm thrilled.
Obama is a symbol of hope, not just for Black American, but for ALL of America.
Now, the cynic in me is already saying,
Watch this, Obama has won, so the people who voted against him will start justifying and compartmentalizing him. Suddenly, he'll be "different" than the rest of our African-American Brothers and Sisters. His father was African, his mother was white. Somehow, there will be those that will put him into a different category than other Black men.
Yes, I know, it's pretty cynical to say this.
But I know how people are.
My youngest son is very fair. Some "overlook" that his father is Black, Mexican, and Italian. But my sweet child said, "I'm white on the outside and Black on the inside."
He knows who he is, no matter what others think, no matter how fair he is, he knows and embraces his heritage.
Thus is Obama. No matter what people may think and say, he embraces who he is, he embraces his heritage. And no matter what people may think or say, Obama is the President of all Americans.
McCain is speaking as I type, conceding the victory to Obama. He is gracious in defeat. He offers all his support to President Obama to find ways to compromise and bridge our differences. He hushes those who boo, speaking of love for our Country, wishing our new President well, and asking for God's blessings on America.
Yes, we will, once more, have a peaceful transition from one President to the next.
America will stand today, tomorrow, and for many more tomorrows, together as one nation, under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
Today, many of our Brothers and Sisters of Color who were disenfranchised in the past have found new hope, new faith, new belief in America.
Hope has prevailed over status quo in America today.
It is a day to be proud to be an American.
