Katie Couric: Why isn't it better, Gov. Palin, to spend $700 billion helping middle-class families who are struggling with health care, housing, gas and groceries; allow them to spend more and put more money into the economy instead of helping these big financial institutions that played a role in creating this mess?
Gov. Sarah Palin: That's why I say I, like every American I'm speaking with, we're ill about this position that we have been put in where it is the taxpayers looking to bail out. But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health-care reform that is needed to help shore up our economy, helping the -- it's got to be all about job creation, too, shoring up our economy and putting it back on the right track. So health-care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions and tax relief for Americans. And trade, we've got to see trade as opportunity, not as a competitive, scary thing. But one in five jobs being created in the trade sector today, we've got to look at that as more opportunity. All those things under the umbrella of job creation. This bailout is a part of that.
Does anyone on this planet believe this woman knows what she's talking about?
ANYONE???
Clearly, she's been given a few catch phrases and has no real understanding of the situation. If anything, she reminds me of that Miss Teen South Carolina candidate video that made the rounds a few months back:

It honestly scares me that people would vote for Palin for any national office. To vote for her for the office a step away from the presidency (particularly when your presidential candidate is nearly 74) seems downright irresponsible.
