I can’t tell if she’s being serious or just making a rhetorical point to rub his face in his Senate vote against raising the ceiling back in 2006. Quoth The One at the time:

The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that “the buck stops here.” Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.

It’s a solid gotcha, but of course we know why Obama said what he said back then. It’s not because he cares about debt; if he did, he wouldn’t have pushed a massive new health-care entitlement last year. (I know, I know — “it’s a money-saver!”) It’s because he’s a shameless panderer who was already planning to run for president and who thought he could squeeze a few extra votes out of independents by pretending to be a deficit hawk. His own press secretary all but admitted that it was a show vote. To agree with Palin here means you have to believe that he was ever serious about debt in the first place. A bridge too far for me.

That comes near the end of the clip, replete with a funny aside where Palin acknowledges that the media’s going to wet itself (or, as she puts it, get “wee-wee’d up”) over the charge she’s throwing at Obama. The beginning is devoted to hoping that McCain isn’t serious about an amnesty deal after the border is finally finally finally secure. Surely he couldn’t be serious. Could he?
