Today Bob Poe challenged Governor Palin’s recent decision to veto over $28 million in federal stimulus funds for energy efficiencies.
"Once again Governor Palin has demonstrated her narcissistic governance of Alaska by becoming the only Governor in America to reject federal stimulus funds to promote energy efficiency. These are funds that not only help stimulate a growing base of alternative energy companies in Alaska, but which would pay dividends in additional energy cost savings for many years to come."
Poe added, "This is just a cynical way for Palin to save a little face nationally in her earlier much touted stand to reject as much as 40% of the federal stimulus funds. Considering that one third of Alaska’s current economy depends on federal spending, it further underlines the Governor’s remarkable lack of understanding of the economic underpinnings that have helped our state avoid many of the economic difficulties currently experienced by many others."
"But perhaps the most striking aspect of this veto is to contrast it to $1,200 Palin paid out last year to every man, woman and child in Alaska for energy assistance, boosting everyone’s Permanent Fund dividend to $3,200, and raising her popularity to record levels helping secure her as the Vice Presidential running mate pick with Senator John McCain. Apparently, when it suits the Governor’s purpose she will happily spend Alaska’s resources, and again when it meets her political needs she will reject very useful federal stimulus funds for Alaskans," Poe added.
Poe concluded, "Governor Palin’s choice to veto federal stimulus funds for energy efficiency should leave no doubt in voters’ minds that her highest priority is not Alaska, but her run for President in 2012."
Simple answer, Alaska is her highest priority but how could this Poe clown vote for Obama who crap canned his state to run for POTUS while ignoring his job as a Senator.
Blow it out yer ear, Bob.
no one said that to hillary or obama when they ran for president.

What she has to deal with.
WTF is bob poe?
WTF is bob poe?
It is a mark of how much they fear her, and Cheney, and even Carrie Prejean and Joe the Plumber.
The RATs are not afraid of Powell, Graham, Crist, Ridge, or any of the other usual suspects. They certainly are not afraid of the blonde chubette who keeps on and on about sex.
They fear Sarah and Cheney, and they fear Prejean and Joe because they fear (rightly) that the people are not really with them, that it's all an illusion propped up by media and by propaganda.
If the people are allowed to hear a real message instead of thin RINO gruel, they risk a recurrence of 1980 and 1984, only this time it will be worse because we understand them and what they have been doing.
When the people decide to restore the republic, there will be no quarter for the enemy this time.
Pas d'ennmis à droit.
What is a Bob Poe? Related to Edgar Allen Poe? Or just an albatross around Alaska’s neck.
That’s okay, little Dhimmicrat. You keep reminding us why we like Sarah Palin. We know you have “mommy” issues and cannot contend with a strong woman.
Dhimmicrat Dhouble Standard as usual.
Wasn’t he one of the Tellie Tubbies, the one that didn’t have the purse

Democrat.
