WALLACE: Let's turn to another subject. Millions of gallons of oil are continuing to spill into the Gulf of Mexico. You, of course, are a big supporter of offshore drilling. You popularized the phrase "drill, baby, drill." Does this disaster give you any pause, Governor?
PALIN: I am a big supporter of domestic extraction of the resources that we are so reliant on, versus relying on foreign sources of energy, relying and beholden upon regimes that can use energy as a weapon and have less stringent environmental standards than we have. I am still a strong supporter of domestic energy supplies being extracted.
Having said that, these oil companies have got to be held accountable when there is any kind of lax and preventative measures to result in a tragedy like we're seeing right now in the gulf.
Alaska has been through that. I've live and worked through that Exxon Valdez oil spill. I know what it takes to hold these oil companies accountable, and we need to see more of that. But we are still reliant on petroleum products and oil and gas.
And I'm a supporter of offshore drilling but also onshore drilling. Maybe this is a lesson, too, for those who oppose safe, domestic supplies being extracted on our shores and on the land, like in ANWR and NPRA, other areas of Alaska. Let us drill there where it is even safer than way offshore.

Here is the rest of the exchange that has MSM going bonkers.
WALLACE: Governor, I want to pick up on the point that you just made, which is that you did, as governor of Alaska, go after oil companies, including B.P. in several cases. How do you think the Obama administration has handled the oil spill so far?
PALIN: Well, I think that there is perhaps a hesitancy to — I don’t really know how to put this, Chris, except to say that the oil companies who have so supported President Obama in his campaign and are supportive of him now — I don’t know why the question isn’t asked by the mainstream media and by others if there’s any connection with the contributions made to President Obama and his administration and the support by the oil companies to the administration.
If there’s any connection there to President Obama taking so doggone long to get in there, to dive in there, and grasp the complexity and the potential tragedy that we are seeing here in the Gulf of Mexico — now, if this was President Bush or if this were a Republican in office who hadn’t received as much support even as President Obama has from B.P. and other oil companies, you know the mainstream media would be all over his case in terms of asking questions why the administration didn’t get in there, didn’t get in there and make sure that the regulatory agencies were doing what they were doing with the oversight to make sure that things like this don’t happen.
Awesome interview.
She has had a great weekend.

Thanks for the link and information.
Sarah had much to say on the National and International issues, good to have the transcript.
WALLACE: “.... How do you think the Obama administration has handled the oil spill so far?”
PALIN: “...the oil companies who have so supported President Obama in his campaign and are supportive of him now — I don’t know why the question isn’t asked by the mainstream media and by others if there’s any connection with the contributions made to President Obama and his administration and the support by the oil companies to the administration.”

I did not notice the Associated Press as being one of the funders of the CRU. Perhaps the CRU get enough from British Petroleum and Shell Oil and other companies interested in demonizing and then taxing CO2 to make the Nuclear, Liquefied Natural Gas and Food to Ethanol businesses more cost competitive. From the CRU web site, look at the bottom of the page. http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/about/history/
From the Climate Research Units own web site you will find a partial list of companies that fund the CRU. It includes: British Petroleum, “Oil, LNG” Broom’s Barn Sugar Beet Research Centre, “Food to Ethanol” The United States Department of Energy, “Nuclear” Irish Electricity Supply Board. “LNG, Nuclear” UK Nirex Ltd. “Nuclear” Sultanate of Oman, “LNG” Shell Oil, “Oil, LNG” Nuclear Installations Inspectorate, “Nuclear” Tate and Lyle. “Food to Ethanol” KFA Germany, “Nuclear” And the climate scientologists have the audacity to claim that the skeptics get funding from ‘Big Oil’!

She’s to the point of being masterful! Anticipating questions and ready with her answers. Notice how she brought up the PA race first and then came back to point out the district is heavily democrat and that the winner ran against obama’s policies.
Sarah is the only Republican out there campaigning for others conservative Republicans and she’s keeping enthusiasm alive. God bless her.
She’s a leader! She makes no apologies. She leads and she takes it to the Marxist, his regime and to the democrat/Marxist party!
GO SARAH!

Wonderful collection! Like somebody posted earlier tonight, MaxCUA I think,
PALIN 2012 AND PALIN 2016 !
TWO TERMS!
“WALLACE: Governor, I want to pick up on the point that you just made, which is that you did, as governor of Alaska, go after oil companies, including B.P. in several cases.”
I loved this part of the question - Palin went after oil companies, including B.P..
Maybe Obama didn’t because they gave him $$.
:o)
REally neat the way she came out as a libertarian, huh?
She would never come close to one as unlike the libertarians, she is strong on defense and supports the mission of the war.
Her son also serving in the Army and just served a year in Iraq.
Palin’s son’s service doesn’t seem to figure when it comes to her alliance with Rand Paul who, as you know, is in agreement with military traitor Adam Kokesh. You will need to wear a blindfold to continue denying that Sarah is libertarian. She has now said it herself!!
The transcript is right there. Please post her words where she states she's a libertarian.
Hint: she doesn't, because she isn't, but you already know that.
