Palin “Disappointed” In “Understandable” AIG Bailout
(CBS)
(CLEVELAND, Ohio) During a quick stop at a diner in Cleveland, Ohio, Sarah Palin was asked for her reaction to the AIG bailout.
“Dissapointed that taxpayers are called upon to bailout another one,” she said. “Certainly AIG though with the construction bonds that they’re holding and with the insurance that they are holding very, very impactful to Americans so you know the shot that has been called by the Feds its understandable but very, very disappointing that taxpayers are called upon for another one.”
Told that her traveling press corps was getting lonely in the back of her campaign plane, Palin said, “Are you getting lonely? Gee, yeah, come on up then!”
Though she has been on the campaign trail for nearly three weeks, Palin has yet to hold a press conference, and this morning’s stop marked the first time she answered a question from the press on the fly, prompting concerned looks from staffers. Palin did have a two-day interview with ABC News’ Charlie Gibson and sat down with Fox News’ Sean Hannity in Cleveland this morning.
The media is sure to take the governor up on her offer to chat at the front of her plane, assuming the campaign is willing to comply with the boss’s wishes for more face time with journalists.
Palin was "happy" when the gov''t didn''t help Merril Lynch and Fanie Mae. And what happened? Stock market plummeted.
Yes, I''m also "disappointed" that tax dollars have to bail out companies, but would Palin prefer economic collapse of the entire financial system?
If they''d have decided to halp Friday instead of Wednesday, it would have saved the tax payers about 65 MILLION dollars.
Clearly, the Republican candidates are in no way qualified to help this nation out of the economic chaos THEY created.
%u201COH MY GAD!%u201D
%u201CI THINK THEY SHOULD PUT%u2019M ALL IN THE PENALTY BAX FOR SPELL DON%u2019T YA KNOW?%u201D
%u201CTaaaaad!!%u201D
%u201Cwhere is that guyyyy??%u201D
Americans realized he''s another politician stuck in the mud. Palin''s refusal to answer questions about corruption will ruin McCain forever.
Palin has demonstrated her lack of sensitivity and poor judgment during her terms as mayor of Wasilla Alaska and as the Governor. It has been reported that Sarah of the Yukon is vindictive, inexperienced, and has made several crony appointments and terminations in effort to solidify her power.
The more things change%u2026the more they stay the same.

Say No To PALINBUSH!--amabobama
She needs more practice if she''s going to field questions...because this shows she does not understand why AIG failed in the first place and why bailing them out was or was not a good idea for the capital markets.
Funny thing - Palin sure was not disappointed when she kept the 300 million for the bridge to no where; not disappointed when she siphoned off almost 30 million for for her town of 6700 people, both at US Tax payer expense.
Now Palin wants to ignore a duly served supenoa, which I thought was against the law
Palin is just like Bush - Cheney - screw the tax payer for every inch, ignore the law when you want to and buy votes.
America does not warrant another 8 years of this crapp!

Lord, this woman is just about as articulate as Bush!! "Impactful??"
