DIXON (WIFR) -- There was a major surprise at this year's Ronald Reagan Trails Days event in Dixon. Sarah Palin, the former 2008 nominee for vice-president made an unexpected stop at the celebration.
Pictures were given to 23 News of Palin making the bus stop. Some staff members and volunteers say they were shocked to see Palin's "One Nation" tour bus arrive. Only the executive director knew about her visit ahead of time. The museum says they were forced to keep the stop top secret to prevent media from coming by. Palin signed autographs and took dozens of pictures with local guests.
Palin's stop adds to speculation about her possible presidential bid. She says she'll decide by the end of summer whether she'll get into the crowded race. Meantime, President Obama's bus tour begins Monday.

Forced? By who, and by what means?
Journalism at it’s finest. They were probably politely asked so as to not cause a media clusterf.

But does Barry’s new $2.2 million armored bus meet his CAFE standards of 52 MPG?
Inquiring minds want to know.

And taxpayers are financing this re-election campaign vote-seeking jaunt.

No problem. Just boost the tire pressure to 9000 psi.

He did start his BS Jobs tour today in a small town that has 3% unemployment - how brave - seems to me these people know how to create Jobs! Obozo read his TOTUS and Blamed Somebody else (BS Tour) for the economic and jobs situation created by his administration!

Just say it was for “safety reasons” since “journalists” following a bus down a highway are dangerous unless given a detailed itinerary.

“Sarah Palin, the former 2008 nominee for vice-president “
Former 2008 nominee? Did she resign? Who replaced her? Where in God's name do these ‘writers’ get their degrees?
Do they even teach English composition anymore? No wonder Journalism is rated as the most worthless degree out there.

The comments were hilarious. I had to reply to one of them. It was just too irresistable.

Just in case some of you numskulls have missed this.
She says she'll decide by the end of summer whether she'll get into the crowded race.
That is all. Return to your barracks.
