Sarah Palin Interview with Katie Couric

Hi Liara: I can't really say I have a view on that, but I agree that this whole economic and political situation could be a blessing in disguise. I am up for that possibility. :o)

If anything, maybe this is America just about to do a detox program and rid itself of toxins?

Every situation has blessings or let's say, "a bright side." What is your view on that?
The current U.S. financial situation could be perceived as a blessing in disguise. After all, if a normal citizen went around repeatedly paying credit card debts with more credit cards, that person would not be permitted to continue for too long. Credit would run out and banks would come after them. Not so with a givernmetn, apparently. Repercussions are huge and affect millions of people. Accountability is what is missing from this whole picture. Rather than assign blame and criticize who is or is not doing an effective job, it makes more sense to address the core issues that pertain to twisted values, self-interest, protectionism, military policy and a whole lot of dishonest government officials that the public has been accepting and turing a blind eye to for far too long.

Dude, I'm with you. You've made some very important points.

One of the comentators/reporters on CNN just now said this interview was one of the most pathetic pieces of video he's ever seen.

When asked about many important key issues (i.e. foreign affairs, economic crisis, the war in iraq) she really wasn't making much sense.

She seems so out of place. The lack of experience is frightening. It's truly like she's a "regular person" who has been thrust into an extraordinary position. And I don't want a "regular person" to be a heartbeat away from the presidency. I want someone who has plenty of experience, is a lot smarter than I am, with greater poise, tact, and thoughtfulness. She just seems to be repeating the lines she has memorized from her campaign coaches. I almost feel sorry for her. She had a good gig going on up there in Alaska. I wonder if deep down she regrets accepting the VP nomination.
