    Sarah Palin on 'Fox News Sunday'

    Sarah Palin has President Obama in her sights, telling FoxNews.com she "would be willing" to challenge him in the 2012 presidential race.

    The former Alaska governor, in an interview Saturday on the sidelines of the National Tea Party Convention in Nashville, said President Obama's "lack of experience" has held him back his first year in office and that she would put her credentials up against his any day.

    "I would be willing to if I believe that it's right for the country," Palin said when asked if she would run for president in 2012.

    She qualified the statement, adding that she sees "many" other potential candidates who are "in as strong or stronger position than I am to take on the White House and if they're in a better position than I in three years, I'll support them."

    But the former GOP vice presidential nominee told "Fox News Sunday": "I won't close the door that perhaps could be open for me in the future."

    Do you think Sarah Palin should run in 2012?

  • Did Intelligence Admission Put America in Danger?

    The Nigerian man accused of trying to use a bomb hidden in his underwear to bring down a Detroit-bound airliner on Christmas has been cooperating with investigators since last week and has provided fresh intelligence in multiple terrorism investigations, officials said Tuesday.

    Authorities had hoped to keep Abdulmutallab's cooperation secret while they continued to investigate his leads, but details began to trickle out during testimony on Capitol Hill, where FBI Director Robert Mueller and Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair confirmed authorities continued to get intelligence in Abdulmutallab's case.

    White House and intelligence officials quietly seethed as political rivals accused them of putting lives at risk. That criticism peaked last weekend when Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, in the weekly Republican address, accused the administration of having "a blind spot when it comes to the war on terrorism."

    Do you think leaking the intelligence information has put us all in danger?

    Attorney General Eric Holder said Wednesday he made the decision to charge the Christmas Day terror suspect in the civilian system with no objection from all the other relevant departments of the government.

    This admission comes on the heels of the controversy following Holder's decision to try KSM and his 9/11 co-conspirators in civilian court in the United States.

    Meanwhile, intelligence chiefs on Capitol Hill warned of a high possibility of a terror attack in the United States within the next 3-6 months.

    Do you think the Obama administration is putting politics before the safety of the nation?

  • Part 2 of Fmr. Edwards Aide on 'Hannity' Wednesday Night

    Hannity Producers  | 

    Young-book2Former John Edwards confidant Andrew Young's new book "The Politician" gives an inside account of the former presidential candidate's affair, crumbling marriage and efforts to keep the paternity of his child with mistress Rielle Hunter hidden from cancer-stricken wife Elizabeth.

    But Young's reckoning also contains some of the most detailed information about a hanging question for John Edwards' future: an ongoing federal grand jury probe into his campaign's finances.

    Prosecutors have refused to comment about the investigation, but Young says he spent hours testifying to the grand jury about the "huge sums of money that had quietly changed hands" during the campaign. Hunter has also made an appearance at the federal courthouse in Raleigh where the grand jury is meeting.

    Watch PART 2 of our cable exclusive with Young WEDNESDAY NIGHT at 9 p.m. ET and tell us what you think about the allegations outlined in his book!

  • Police Officers Under Attack

    Ainsley Earhardt | 

    012910_hannity_police_FNC_012910_21-49Friday night we ran a story on “Hannity” about police officers under attack.  You can watch it here.

    As we have traveled the country we noticed that while violent crime overall is going down--  the number of violent crimes against law enforcement seems to be going up.

    There was the case of 3 officers who were shot and killed in Pittsburgh last April and 4 officers gunned down in Lakewood, Washington before their shift started, as they sat in a coffee shop.  After some research, we learned the statistics show that our suspicions were accurate and it is something for which we need to be concerned.

    The very officers working our neighborhoods, fighting crime and keeping us safe -- are becoming targets.  These mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and Americans are putting their lives on the line for you and me -- and being punished by criminals.  Yes, our streets are safer, but our officers are not.

  • Obama's State of the Union Shifts Burden on GOP

    Rather than dial back his ambitions in the wake of his party's loss last week in the Massachusetts Senate election, the president used his State of the Union address Wednesday night to pressure the GOP into working with Democrats by appealing to their collective conscience.

    Republicans responded immediately by saying they've been trying to work with the president all along, but to no avail. Democrats, meanwhile, said the president was dead on, saying Republicans now have an obligation to participate constructively in the legislative process.

    But after Obama pledged to listen to GOP ideas on health care and start monthly meetings with Democratic and Republican leaders, Republicans questioned whether relations would be any different than they've been for the past 12 months.

    House Minority Leader John Boehner said Wednesday that he hadn't spoken with White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel in a year.
