Sarah Palin Oprah Interview (VIDEO): Talks About Couric, Levi, McCain Campaign

Sarah Palin Oprah Interview (VIDEO): Talks About Couric, Levi, McCain Campaign

Commented Nov 17, 2009 at 16:49:49 in Media

“Having watched both interviews with Ms. Palin ( Oprah's and Walter's) I thought Palin came off as rather bright and reasonable.
Did she show any credentials for being politically intelligent? No. But she seemed like a regular person, raising her kids and giving her take on her run for VP.
Now, lets move the spotlight back to matters of importance, like Healthcare poverty, climate change,etc.”

“That's what global warming apologist claim when the facts don't pan out in their direction. "Well even if Global Warming isn't true, think of the positive benefits of making companies become more environmentally conscience!" At which point they forget that if you don't believe in man-made-global-warming then you don't believe that reducing carbon emissions is a good-thing.”

“It seems we are getting worse than better at managing trash.
I can no longer take plastic bags to my recycling depot . They have discontinued this because biodegradable bags were too often mixed with the regular plastic bags. What to do? I was told the landfill will have to take them.
THEN.... all those cheap fabric bags that are being promoted as ALTERNATIVES to plastic bags tear apart very easily, seams break and they get holes in them quickly. They are becoming ubiquitous and this means ZILLIONS will end up in the landfill.
It almost seems that in terms of the masses, the plastic bags served a better purpose in that they were recyclable. All those smaller sandwich bags, freezer bags will now not be accepted either.
Going from bad to worse.
INFURIATING!”

“You Americans are so FORTUNATE to have Obama as your President. Listen to him. He cares. He is trying to help people and the country. Put aside your silly egos and work with him.”

Marcospinelli replied on Jul 23, 2009 at 02:46:53

“If you recall, Obama started out by including NO liberals or progressives in his administration. No seat at the table for the left.

He then began (the stimulus bill) by conceding ground on the left. No negotiation with the right, with Republicans, no concessions on their part, just SNIP SNIP, populist legislation to get the American people jobs and save their homes, a meaningful economic recovery, gone. The bill passed with NO REPUBLICAN SUPPORT. A watered down bill, inadequate to get us an economic recovery, with jobs to move the engine of business, is now what the Obama administration now admits was a mistake.

That's been the story for every day of the last six months, some new flip-flop on a campaign promise.

Obama took single payer universal health care off the table before negotiations even began. Single payer is the least expensive and only solution to our health care problems. And tonight, he equivocated on a public option.

Disappointed with Obama and Democrats doesn't begin to cover it anymore.”

“Maybe you'd have a point if the guy had come out after the affair began, at least a year ago; or maybe if he hadn't used public funds, or maybe if he hadn't insulted everyone's intelligence with the lame naked hiking story. This wasn't something that "just happened" and there is nothing noble about a man confessing only because he's been caught. This was planned and carried out over a long period of time with the intent of stealing from and deceiving the public and with callous disregard for his wife (who was noticeably absent from the press conference) and four young sons. I have no pity for this selfish hypocrite.”

“We need to have way more public transportation. As well as "Who Killed the Electric Car" telling the story of how GM and the American auto makers have stalled on making autos running on alternative energy sources, the documentary "The Death of Public Transportation" chronicles how GM in the 1940's and 1950's conspired to have street car lines in many American cities torn out for freeways and busses.”

She sh.ot down obama's primary goal on his trip to europe. the second goal, getting the europeans to send lots of combat forces to afghanistan, was also sh.ot down. The only thing he came home with was the tale that the europeans liked him but if you read Sarkozy's subsequent, he was most disdainful of obama. he went there with substantative goals but came home empty handed.”
