Sarah Palin Weighs In on Egypt

In her speech Friday evening for the conservative Young America's Foundation, celebrating President Ronald Reagan's 100th birthday anniversary, Palin gave President Obama  a harsh critique but she stayed away from the complex subject of Egypt.

But following her speech she spoke to the Christian Broadcast Network's White House Correspondent David Brody about the uprising in Egypt and shifting sands in the region, continuing her critique of the president.

"It's a difficult situation, this is that 3am White House phone call and it seems for many of us trying to get that information from our leader in the White House it it seems that that call went right to um the answering machine," she said (the full quote is below).

"It's a difficult situation, this is that 3am White House phone call and it seems for many of us trying to get that information from our leader in the White House it it seems that that call went right to um the answering machine. And nobody yet has, no body yet has explained to the American public what they know, and surely they know more than the rest of us know who it is who will be taking the place of Mubarak and um, no, not, not real um enthused about what it is that that's being done on a national level and from dc in regards to understanding all the situation there in Egypt. And um, in these areas that are so volatile right now because obviously it's not just Egypt but the other countries too where we are seeing uprisings, we know that now more than ever, we need strength and sound mind there in the White House. We need to know what it is that America stands for so we know who it is that America will stand with. And um, we do not have all that information yet."
