Sarah Palin continued her back-and-forth with President Obama today, mocking "the vast nuclear experience that he acquired as a community organizer." Palin continued to criticize the president's new nuclear policy at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans, saying the Obama doctrine had the US "coddling enemies and alienating allies," CBS News reports.

Palin defended herself against Democrats' accusations that her "don't retreat, reload" catchphrase about the health bill was an incitement to violence, saying that perception was fabricated by the media, which is "desperate to discredit the people's movement, the tea party movement."
