Miami -- In an interview after her speech at the Republican Governors' Association meetings here today, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin criticized the Bush administration for exacerbating voter "distrust" by shifting money from the $700 billion bailout from buying bad bank assets to purchasing additional stock in banks. In response to the proposed changes, announced yesterday by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, Palin expressed frustration on behalf of a weary electorate and offered a stern warning.
"No more surprises," she said. "I think the surprises make the electorate distrust elected officials and their ability to appoint people who are to be looking out for the public’s interest."
The brief interview took place in a meeting room at the Miami Intercontinental Hotel. I asked her the question today because when Wolf Blitzer asked her a similar question yesterday, she struggled to give him an answer
Its called a socialist scam. Lie, cheat, fake, and engineer until you can get the votes to allot (print/borrow/etc.) the cash to do what you really want to do (socialize/nationalize) under the guise of a bailout.
And GW’s legacy will be that he was as much responsible for the US becoming a Socialist country as any other president before him. He is playing the Federal Government right into the new Marxist President Obama’s hand.
They are all traitors as far as I am concerned.
Right on Sarah. No more bailouts and get the Gov. the hell out of business.
Or, as Ronald Reagan said..."Government is not the solution to problems. Government is the problem."
Paulson is a Democrat. Like he’ll listen to the losing minority party..
Exactly right.
Good for her for objecting to the $700 billion blank check.
God bless and protect our Sarah, who isn’t afraid to say what needs to be said.
Can anyone but me hear Sarah (in-the-future) saying “This long national nightmare is over.”
Wishful?
According to the funny YouTube video, Paulson has made seventy trips to China. Seventy? China?
“Wishful?”

Not at all.
Conservatives won’t be fooled again. Patience and persistence will win back our country.
Keep the faith.
Got faith. Got guts. Got will.
They're screwed.
I must admit to being mildly disappointed with her comments to Wolf Blitzer and The Weekly Standard regarding the proposed auto bailout. No, she doesn’t support it, but she doesn’t uncategorically oppose it either as she should. And she doesn’t place the primary blame for the auto industry’s problems where it belongs: on government regulations and the unions.
The better news is that she does clearly oppose using additional money from the original $700, much less in the form of grants rather than loans. But still.
Attitude is everything.
You got it girl.
Spread it around to some of the sad sacks on this site.
January 20, 2013.
I think she says more about it in her speech at the RGA Conference today - I may be delusional here but I know she basically says that bailing out the auto dealers and now states is not the answer to our problems.
That’s now my motto.
She is saying what every professional stock trader in the world already knows:
The TARP is a sludge fund boondoggle,and the largest scam in US history, which is why the markets are beseiged by non confidence.
Palin was being polite in her comments.
She was signaling Paulsen that she knows whats up.Paulsen was the one who researched,designed and implimented the derivative mortgage paper insurance scheme for Lehman Bros.
Her comment also puts her in extreme danger. I hope she still has good security.
Sarah Palin is fantastic. She is awesome.
It was Paulson’s September Surprise that wrecked the Republican electoral effort this year. I hope the public is slowly waking up to this gigantic scam.
One of the many great qualities about Sarah Palin is that she speaks her mind. She connects with people and people connect with her.
