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!

Presidents don't "vote" to raise the debt ceiling. Presidents sign into law a raise in the debt ceiling. Certainly Palin is more likely to run for president than she is to run for Congress. So why does Brett ask the question the way he did?
Looks like another case of Fox bending over backwards to avoid the possibility that Palin may run for President.
hoist on my own petard!!!
She said “hells,” which I am sure is the same old bad place. In fact, I think we would think we were in several times the condition of hell if we raised the debt ceiling and decided to increase the spending to create more debt up to the new ceiling.
Trump threw out the F-bomb when talking about the oil producers considering cutting production so the price per barrel goes higher. I am sure that many Americans are thinking “hells no!” and “F them!” when they see the Zer0 Regime screwing up the economy as badly as they have.
Hesh, you're too late -- when it comes to Palin threads, wtc already IS bent! ;^)
Wow! You are just brilliant. The comma king. Is that all you got tonite?
Here’s anothr clue == it’s apostophes.
LOL, it looks like the English police are out in full force.
Uh, to try and save the nation from disaster.
Garsh...Bret is just Bret, you either like him or you don’t. I don’t. I don’t even watch Fox News much anymore, they’ve become as somebody else said MSDNC-lite. There are even times when you can’t tell what Meghan Kelly’s points are. O’Reilly sucks. Shep’s a commiecrat. The Fox News morning show is so protective of Obamajad, they’re not worth a watch. I just troll around sites where I can get some facts and perspectives, like here :) and Red State, Drudge, Breitbart, and a couple of conservative video sites where I can pick and choose what I watch or read.
I used to like to watch Beck, and applaud him for a lot of stuff he put out in the open. Some of his historical stuff was kinda sorta factual, but sometimes biased. But again, I pick and choose what I want to watch of his stuff also.
Sarah does need the exposure, tho. And I’ve watched her experience a lot of personal growth these last two years. And I still find her spot on but with much greater communication ability! And she does need to be challenged so she can show her stuff. And Fox news exposure allows her to do so without being brutalized by the leftist commies and their trivial pursuits.
She can't just yet, and here is why:
Campaign 2012: The Kabuki phase
And keep in mind that the Alaska anklebiters are just waiting to pour over her required filings and disclosures just so they can file more frivolous lawsuits like this latest one:
I understand that. However, I stick to my statement—she runs and she gets my donations...and I have been a heavy contributor in the past.
hoist on my own petard!!!

You’re not special in that regard. I think we’ve all been on petards of our own making at one time or another. Lord certainly knows I have. :)
Not just Hell no. HELLS no. Her no has extra hells.
I'm against subsidies, including oil subsidies.
Having said that, Palin is still without question my candidate of choice.
YOU BETCHA!
CHEERS!
let us know where to mail you the postcard from the trail. Sounds like you’re taking your seat in the spectator area.
One thing Palin knows about is energy. Whenever she starts to speak on the subject she stops that herky jerky high pitched way of speaking and suddenly her voice is more modulated and steady because she knows what she is talking about. If she says no on deleting the oil subsidies I would take her word for it. In fact I think she would be a great choice for Energy Secretary or Secretary of the Interior.
