wow....has any other sitting Governor ever taken on POTUS over a defense issue? Probably not since Reconstruction anyway. Way to go, Sarah!
I think we need a national speaking tour on this and energy. :)
She should just pay for the program with state funds. She has saved money from her budget and if Obama won’t play than she should go it alone.
Sarah Palin.....A voice of reason in insane times...
Governor Palin could drive both Obama and the Democrats into screaming hysteria if she offered to provide some Alaska State subsidy to the development of this missile defense. Even more so, if the program was modified to emphasize defending Alaska more than the blue left coast.
She could do it even more by making a deal with Boeing to continue to develop their airborne laser system, also targeted by the Democrats for elimination. Imagine the hilarity if Boeing would even agree to move its airborne laser R&D to Alaska.
Boeing has been talking about getting out of heavily Democrat Washington State for a while now, as its State government and unions are as onerous there as the automobile unions have been to Detroit.
