"I'm ill about the position that America is in and that we have to look at a $700 billion bailout. At the same time we know that inaction is not an option and as Senator McCain has said unless this nearly trillion-dollar bailout is what it may end up to be, unless there are amendments in Paulson's proposal, really I don't believe that Americans are going to support this and we will not support this," Palin said in the interview.
Couric pressed Palin on examples of how McCain, a 26-year congressional veteran, had led the charge for more oversight.
The Alaska governor cited McCain's warnings about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac two years ago as well as image as a maverick. Questioned again for examples, and reminded that McCain had been chairman of the Commerce Committee, Palin said, "I'll try to find you some and I'll bring them to you."
McCain has insisted Palin is ready to take over as president, but he made no mention of including her in the meetings he wants in Washington to deal with the financial crisis.

I would have replied Katie, let’s not play ‘gotcha’ games here. John McCain has an extraordinary 26-year record in the Senate, and should be proud of the fact that no human being is capable of memorizing a catalog of all his achievements. What’s more much important than asking candidates to perform memory tricks like this is to focus on the issue of...
These Dumacrat SOBs are on RADAR now!! We must vote them out!! They better watch their FANNIES cuz we are sending in Sara "Bobbit" to remove their FREDDIE!!!
Yep, he's going to have to have Godzilla or King Kong in tow. Anything less, and he's insulting the American people's in their financial ability to withstand a bit of hardship.
Car companies have been pumpin' out crap for too long.
It's called innovation and real improvement of quality, GM, Ford, et.al..
My thoughts go to the id 19 Citroen produced on a dirt floor factory in 1955, over half a century ago.
I know some will laugh and scorn, but it had gobs of quality cool features (massive inboard disc brakes with pads you could change yourself with no tools just by lifting the hood, etc. and on and on, I won't bore those who aren't interested, it's the point I making that matters).
They want to say she's not prepared to step up to President should the need arise. I believe she would do just fine, especially in an open debate format.
Time for a 'Hail Mary' in this campaign, so let's watch as Sarah mops the floor with BHO!
Anyone in the McCain/Palin camp listening? :-)
Now we know where THEY stand on this.
really I don't believe that Americans are going to support this and we will not support this," Palin said in the interview.
We're all a bit touchy lately, but I will try to be more specific. Some seem to be reading into things more than they should.
I think you don’t know squat, and you didn’ listen. Are you trying to bend the words just to suit your way of thinking, or are you just another democrat from DU?
It’s a direct quote from the post and article.
Oh...and maybe check my profile before calling me a DU freak out of hand. I ain’t no newbie.
Four years ago I sold my home in San Diego for almost double what it was worth, to people who couldn't afford it, brought to me by a broker who overpriced it, aided by an appraiser he went to college with and a bank wanting the business...you tell me...WHO IS TO BLAME? At that time I knew, meaning lots of people knew, this house of cards was going to fall. But everyone wanted their piece of the pie...well...here it is folks...
It’s not that U.S. auto makers are turning out crap....the government is tying the hands of the U.S. car companies with those stupid CAFE standards that are harder and harder for the automakers to meet. These same CAFE standards interfere with consumer choice.
The American automakers are enjoying booming sales in South America and China.....no CAFE standards there!
One of the automakers would like to manufacture a car here in the U.S. that gets 65 miles per gallon. They can’t build the vehicle here....it runs on diesel.
Another automaker had a car with lots of grill work; they were convinced the vehicle would be a real moneymaker for them, but the car didn’t meet the CAFE standards, so it never entered production.
Back in 1955, there were no CAFE standards. Detroit was king. The government should back off and let the consumers decide what kind of vehicles they want to buy, and then let the automakers satisfy the demand.
And yet the id 19 still got great MPG.
I grew up in research, that's the source of my anger, there's plenty that could and could have been done.
The simplest would be High Pressure Fuel Injection.
That would have rocketed MPG and burned so clean cat. converters wouldn't have been needed.
True. All without prior MSM approval. McCain was greatly underestimated when the MSM "allowed" him to run. Now they have to "misundertake" him.
Great point, hope this boost the fiscal conservatives into power in a big way
Who writes this drivel? Palin is a governor, not a member of congress or the cabinet. Jeeze!
I’ll see about getting you on the team!
I actually think my 02 PT is a quality vehicle. Granted it needed some tweaks to boost the mpg. But I’m getting nearly 30mpg (50/50 city/hwy) with it. Which is damn good for a PT.
Manual trans. = 10% more mpg/power than auto
K&N air filter = 1mpg
Mobil 1 oil = 1mpg
Dynomax muffler = 1mpg
Removed airflow silencer = 33% restriction in airflow
