Sarah Palin in an interview with Bret Baier was asked if she would remove the oil subsidies to oil companies and the short of her answer was probably not. She says that the four billion that Obama is wanting to strip from the oil companies may not have that much impact on the large oil companies, but would affect the smaller independent explorers who Palin says we want out there with their resources extracting for oil:
You have to remember that President Obama – and I’m going to say this with all due respect to the office of the Presidency – he doesn’t know what he’s doing when it comes to energy. He does not know, as I just pointed out, that the four billion dollars that he thinks he’s gonna stick it to Exxon, BP, Conaco, Phillips. No, it’s going to be the independent producers, the explorers that we want out there creating jobs that are going to be hit with an end of subsidy. So we really have to take a hard look at that.
When asked if she’d vote to raise the debt ceiling (if she were in congress) she replied:
“Hells no! I would not vote to increase that debt ceiling. Otherwise it just shows the American public we’re not serious yet, we’re gonna incur more debt. No. And we don’t have to increase the debt ceiling in the next few weeks. It turns my stomach to hear this…”
They talk about much more including her analyzing potential candidates for President and where she currently is in making her decision.
Great interview. Enjoy!

When did this run. I just watched Special Report and they did Ron Paul. When did this run?
I had an email from SP’s campaign person asking for a donation. I wrote back to him that not a nickle until She declares and then the money will roll in...
Thanks for the recap.
“Said no one in the field is worth endorsing”
This is telling as well. :)
Well, if this means she would also VETO a bill to increase the debt ceiling were she President, then she just passed my #1 litmus test.
Anyone ever teach you how to use commas? Here’s a clue...it’s not comma’s.
Not quite sure that’s what she said,more like that’s the way we hear it.
In other words, she's probably running.
Cheers!
The 5:00pm hour in place of Beck’s show
I was a little surprised that Bret pushed her like he did but Sarah handled it all well. I don’t believe Bret hates her, he was doing his job and didn’t think he said anything out of line.
nah Bret doesn’t like her. It’s a known issue.
Rules don't apply to Eric Holder's people.
Are you sure you spelled that correctly? Better check.
It is a miracle that Brett Baier can actually do a show with his lips planted on Obama’s scrawny ass.
OMG, did Sarah really use the H word?
You know, it makes for a pretty crappy interview. She did real well though.
Well said, unseen1.

I agree. She is awesome. I thought the idea of stopping the pet projects in the states was brilliant. No more funding for cowboy poets and other projects the states can finance if they find them important. Instead, use that money to pay down the national debt. The more the debt is paid off, the less interest we pay. I hate the idea of our tax dollars going down the interest payment drain.
Instead of taxing $4 billion, how about auctioning off $4 billion worth of federal leases? We have had a March 2010 federal oil and gas lease sale. All subsequent sales have been cancelled.
To get out of debt, the federal goobmit is going to have to stop spending and sell assets. Just like anyone.
