“It’s a difficult situation,” Ms. Palin told the Christian Broadcasting Network. “This is that 3 a.m. White House phone call, and it seems for many of us trying to get that information from our leader in the White House, it seems that that call went right to the answering machine.” The early-morning phone call that Ms. Palin mentioned was reprised from the 2008 Democratic presidential primary fight, when Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton aired a stinging television ad suggesting that Mr. Obama lacked foreign policy experience. To drive home the point, the commercial showed a telephone ringing — unanswered — in the middle of the night. Three years later, Mrs. Clinton is deeply entwined in the diplomatic crisis in Egypt as Mr. Obama’s secretary of state. (These days, if there are any 3 a.m. phone calls, it probably means that the situation was elevated to the attention of the White House, where the telephone is answered around the clock.) In an interview with David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network, Ms. Palin criticized the Obama administration for failing to explain “to the American public what they know.” In an excerpt of the interview released Saturday evening on the network’s Web site, Ms. Palin declared: “Now, more than ever, we need strength and sound mind there in the White House.”
