Sarah Palin to Barack Obama: 'Go big or go home'

Sarah Palin urged President Barack Obama to “go big or go home” against the threat of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, but said it’s hard to put much faith in his new promises.

“War is hell. So go big or go home, Mr. President,” Palin wrote on Facebook on Wednesday night. “Big means bold, confident, wise assurance from a trustworthy Commander-in-Chief that it shall be worth it. Charge in, strike hard, get out. Win.”

Palin’s post came shortly after Obama’s prime-time television address in which the president outlined plans to “degrade and ultimately destroy” ISIL.

“Go big and be real, Mr. President, if you’ve really changed your mind again and now wish to engage,” Palin wrote.

She continued, “For the sake of peace-loving people in America and throughout the world, let’s hope Barack Obama means what he says when he uses terms like ‘defeating’ ISIS. He is so inconsistent in leading a failed agenda that it’s virtually impossible to put any hope in his new promises, because either his past statements shrugging off ISIS as just a ‘JV squad’ was all talk, or tonight’s new terminology is just all talk.”
