Palin CBS Interview: Bailout = healthcare reform

[EGarrett01]

"It's not that she doesn't know the right answer, it's that she clearly does not understand the question." -Fareed Zakaria

[HowardSternn]

Sorry Palin will never get anywhere near 1600 Penn Ave.

[Stingerbillion]

HAHAHHAHAHA.....i can't stop laughing!!!!! So jobs will be created, trade, healthcare, tax cuts, etc with ALL the bailout money---$700 billion? Wow....

[Luudite]

word salad. Just barf out the buzz words dear

[DirtFlyer]

It is so easy to see in this video that Palin was just totally clueless on this question. She is just mindlessly spitting out talking points like a broken political robot. I half expected to see a spring pop out of her mouth and steam to squirt out of her ears. So scary that this might have been our VP, and possibly even President.

[davidls11]

When did we start electing hillbillies into office?

[JJisCooler23]

what a foollll.

[Wilone328]

Obamas Health Care Bill.... Do you back his administration? See my you tube profile page and See precisely why Americans thoughts are important !!!

[AnIolar]

Sounds like she's been told what to say (probably by those that ruined the world's economy) but she can't quite put the words together.

[abovefilms]

she's loony.

[ColossusRhodes]

"not as competetive scary thing" lmao

[gcorking12]

If she has the nerve to run in 2012 she needs to be slapped

[gratedane5]

sounds like a case of vocal diarrhea

[DystopianUtopia]

Hahahha, no Sarah, just no, you fail.

Ron Paul for President someday, or we're screwed.

[BTbass]

*face palm*

no Sarah, it isn't...just no......

[MooseOfReason]

Competitive... scary things...

[bevon17]

wtf is she talking about

did she answer the question?

[AlmostAlwaysFabulous]

she made no fucking sense.

[noezway47]

YES!!!

When I grow up, I want to be a Healthcare Insurance Company, so that I can screw over as many innocent Americans as possible through denial of care and exorbitant premiums. Thank you Sarah Palin for protecting my dream.

[amasra56]

Not since F. Roosevelt any president is elected to change the direction of our country wiyh huge debt, in the verge banckrupcy, with two wars and all public policies (what makes any nation civilized)are nutured.Give the man a chance! He has a good agenda, excellent work ethics, good administration to save this nation falling further behind and becoming a third rate power with nukes, behind Europe, Japan and even China. Especially in terms of Health Care and Education.

[crabtrap]

OBAMA APPROVAL RATING 56% AND DROPPING LIKE A ROCK . you lib moonbats believe your own hype

[RockawayRiotSquad]

its still above 50% asshole!...and guess what, he's the PRESIDENT! This woman is now unemployed!!!!

[crabtrap]

it's not above 50% but it IS the worst rating for any pres in this time frame .

Obama=EPIC FAIL!

[FarRockStandUp]

cabtrap:

clearly you ar a fucking idiot...his approval rating is just above the 50% mark...that SURE AS HELL IS NOT the worst approval rating of any President of all time...are you fucking serious? Clinton was around 34% at this time...you are seriously going to sit there and try to tell me that a 50% approval rating is the WORST rating of any President at the 7 month mark? FALSE!

[crabtrap]

check your facts:WORST PRES RATING (in time frame)EVER!! LOL

[SquaddddUp]

ur a fucking idiot...he doesn't have the worst approval rating ever...thats simply not tru you fuckin dumb shit....its 7 MONTHS INTO HIS PRESIDENCY...its not possible to judge his Presidency as a failure yet you moron....shut the fuck up and stop talking

[crabtrap]

i clearly stated " worst ratings in his time frame" time frame meaning 7months . look it up or shut the fuck up and learn to read . OBAMA=EPIC FAIL! nuff said .

[7HigherLearning7]

you are wrong though...Clinton had a 34% approval rating after 6 months in office...and i'm sure of all the Presidents in the past, there have been worse ratings...you simply cannot judge a Presidency as an epic fail after 7months as you are patheticly trying to do...its not possible...either way...this is a video about Palin's idiocy...which is clear.

[crabtrap]

Ya you're right i can't judge on stats ,iguess it's better to judge him on spending 5 times the budget of bush in just 7 months and still the ression is deepening . as for Palin ,well i would rather have that "idiot" leading but NOT spending then your "genuis" obama running up the debt faster then a drunk soccer mom,indebting generations of americans (i voted Ron Paul btw)

[7HigherLearning7]

actually you are wrong (once again)...the recession is not deepening...most economists agree that the recession is ending...however, the unemployment rate still remains high...yes, Obama is spending a shitload but that by no means automatically deems his presidency a failure as you claim.

[crabtrap]

Ummm,you're wrong (agian) . the only economist saying the recession is ending are the ones who did not see it coming in the first place . indebting the nation and socializing it's major industries (auto,financial,medical)= FAIL .

but then ,you probably think Stalin was just misunderstood

[7HigherLearning7]

let me get this straight...you are telling me that the man who was elected President is the failure? So what does that make Palin? A success? The woman who embarassed herself on the national scene? The woman who stated the bailout was about "the healthcare reform that is needed..." The woman who lost millions of votes for McCain? The woman who quit the governorship? This is your idea of success? LOL...nice try.

[crabtrap]

I never claimed anything about Palin . it's kinda like playing golf you can have 4 player competing and all can suck . OBAMA IS AN EPIC FAIL . Palin is a house wife with little effect on my life .

you truely are a moron . lib logic is so twisted

[Campbell414]

Well you know that you're educated when you refer to the President as an "EPIC FAIL".... George Bush is an example of an "EPIC FAIL"... Your mother is an example of an "EPIC FAIL" because she sadly brought a dumb hick like you into the world.

[crabtrap]

should i report to the nearest ACORN office for immidate reprogramming ? OBAMA = FAIL

[BTbass]

Obama and Bush = fail

The majority of democrats and republicans = fail

We need philosopher kings, not rhetoric kings.

[crabtrap]

@BTbass no kings for me thanks,

i'll take an "Old Hickory" though

[pdidc0]

sarah palin today called for a civil discussion on health care, yet two days ago she used incendiary, alarmist language ("death squad, pure evil") to describe Obama's health care plan. The reason people are disrupting civil discourse is precisely because uninformed people like Palin have been brewing anger and fear about health care reform. She should know this, and now, is trying to claim the "Good person" side by saying she was always for a civil honest discussion. What a bunch of bull.

[acatisfinetoowut]

The bailout was about one in five jobs of trade under the umbrella of job creation and it's gotta be all about job creation and healthcare reform. Didn't you know?

[funkyflights]

Funny part is .... She never answered the fucking question.... and NOW she has the nerve to call Obama's health care plan EVIL.... LOL ... evil is what Americans have been going through with the dam insurance companies.... gimme a dam break ...

[JRserver]

People keep speculating that Palin has this secret scheme to run for President in 2012, and based on this video, and every other occasion in which she has said anything about anything, I'd say that a Sarah Palin Presidency falls into what The Daily Show categorizes as "Shit That's Never Gonna Happen."

[fabjen1961]

Whare is her birth certificate? I haven't seen it. Is she really an American? I'm not sure until I see the original copy. Why won't she release it - what is she hiding?

[Harleymike88]

YOU'RE A MORON ASS CLOWN.

[crabtrap]

when your as hot as her you could only have been born in the USA . no BC needed

[fabjen1961]

More word salad from Palin. The fact that this know-nothing dolt thought she was capable enough to run for VP should tell you everything you need to know about Sarah Palin. "In what respect Charlie?"

[winecrafter]

"Looking to health care to help shore up the economy..."  The scariest thing is that she got as far as she did.

[winecrafter]

Scary. I can't believe she even made governor.

[vivajones]

I never get sick of seeing this! :)

[RioMadeira]

Holy fuck, I'm 19 years old and I can explain the purpose of the bailout better than she ever did.

[mtwpmc]

True the corporate statutory tax rates are very high.

That however is very misleading because our effective tax rates are really quite low compared to other developed countries.

[humantoo]

Huh? Sarah honey, get a coach or something. WTF????

[chhmcom]

Thanks, again, GW for a bailout with no oversight. corporate pigs went to town, but you knew that would happen. Thanks again, GW, for shitting on this land.

[MrRyeRye23]

She had a short circuit or something.

[orage1919]

Katie Couric, if she is who you are talking about, your right.

[SaberRider29]

she is hot and dumb...;)

[mixnremix]

Well, you got the "dumb" part right!

[chhmcom]

I wouldn't do her with W's dick

[Lomax9]

WHAT??????????? Shes on drugs

[winstonsammy]

Who does sarah remind me of---oh yeah george w bush. stupid as all get out.

[SirFlam91]

What is she talking about?! One has to think about Mccain's judgement when you see this really.

[Snakeuserorochi]

Palin = FAIL

[manymiles8]

Palin is incredibly stupid! What was McCain thinking when he picked her? This interview shows everyone what happens when her staff doesn't tell her what to say.

[Dude4Less]

she probally sucked McCain off to get the VP slot.

[AcousticBruce]

i wish they would interview with both people in view, without any cuts at all.

[stevekap8]

I general, this type of interview is done with 1 camera. They will film the interviewer after the thing is done, nodding and re-acting, then splice it together. Have you ever seen Broadcast News with Albert Brooks?

If this was what was done, the editing is a bit dishonest, showing the stunned reaction to the very stupid answers. Still, I'm we all have a right to be stunned that such a person is a VP candidate.

[winecrafter]

There were no cuts during her stupid speech.

[o0robert0oDK]

WTF!.!!

[futbolequis]

Bailout?

Health-care reform? reducing taxes? job creation? what the fuck seriously?

I thought that the bailout was to BAILOUT the economy because it was in such horrible shape.

[khesh3663]

the country gets the presidents it deserves and the candidates it can understand

[playboyquan]

PALIN IS THE MOST IGNORANT WOMAN, SHE IS CRAZy!

[dentabones]

deserves? we don't deserve these idiots. I'm not old enough to vote, but damn I can't believe people like her get elected.

[DONTMAKEMELAUGH]

They all talk SPIN but our Sarah does it without credentials, without background, without fundamental comprehension. If Katy can show her up for what she is, then we are really talking bottom of the barrel.

[foxfingers]

Lol, wtf is she talking about? Omg, enjoy these clips while we have them. You probably wont see her for awhile soon. With luck she'll do a reality show about living with Flavor Flav or something. So entertaining!

[Limpandtotheleft]

Think hard, you Americans.

Do you really want this woman to be just one heartbeat away from having her finger on the nuclear button?

Margaret Thatcher she isn't.

It's not just Palin's rambling incoherence that's at issue It's her seemingly ZERO knowledge of world affairs, of basic economic affairs, and even of the US constitution. She is a disaster waiting to happen. McCain blew his chances when he unveiled her as his running mate.

[dentabones]

I agree.

[mikehoops]

from a US population of 300 million, and with a democratic selection process surely you can do a bit better than that?

[Lanckyyt]

huh?

[jchien]

I cannot belive this.

[lildopexd]

she has no idea what she's talking about. A highschool student knows more than her. "tax payers bail out"????

[stme2008]

please people understand healthcare mcCain gives 5k to get health care he will tax all employee health care making your job drop health care if you are overwieght smoke drink have poor eyes have azma diabetic your child is disabled you are disabled you will pay alot more than 5k for healthcare because they see you as a risk Obamas plan is much better look it up and anyone under obamas you get a tax cut if you make under 250k mcCains its all rich oil geting bilions in cuts again

[halfirishrover]

Oh....my....God. I saw the Tina Fey/Amy Poehler piece first, then watched this and realized - Sarah Palin makes the lives of all comedians everywhere super easy. The woman is incoherent. Is she on crack, or did she just have a lobotomy? She reminds me of Zoolander with her sophisticated commentary.

Be afraid, people, be very afraid.

[andygray]

probably on crystal meth, her state capital is the notorious meth cookers capital of the USA. Check out the clip of her being prayed over and 'witchcraft' being invoked by some religious nut in her church.  She is scary and quite a few beads short of a rosary.

[whatshudmyusernamebe]

lololol she makes me want to watch the vp debates. i feel bad for obama/biden. as the saying goes, "don't argue with an idiot, they'll bring you down to their level and beat u w/ experience." apparently, that's already happened to 50% of this country.

[iAmhEReJEez]

ask her where iraq is, am sure she will point to canada or australia :D

[moehawk1990]

McCain tries to balance the ticket and solidify the support of the far right while at the same time grabbing the ignorant feminists who actually think Republicans are for Women's Rights. Now the party is stuck with this unintelligent, pathetic excuse for a politician. They say Barack lacks the necessary experience to be a viable candidate, but at the same time this idiot is one death away from taking the position. Hypocrits.

[lordofdrakknor]

wtf this makes no sense!!!

[BunnyManBridge]

she makes sense, but she's dumb at explaining it.

[Iamnopicasso]

What the FUCK did she just say?

[pshisbey]

No. Sarah Palin is a very bright woman and is far more powerful that you probably ever will be. The high road is to attack her ideas instead of her personally. Do you always choose the low road in life?

[shityeah12345]

what are you as stupid as her? Did YOU HEAR HER?THE BAILOUT IS ABOUT HEALTHCARE AND JOBS..SHE MUST HAVE SUCKED HER WAY TO THE TOP, BECAUSE THE ONLY THING IN THAT HEAD IS HOT AIR...

[mitsom]

Sarah Palin is not "bright". She is quite dim, in fact. After watching these interviews, for you to call her "bright" is bewildering. She has no national or international knowledge of politics whatsoever. She thinks her own state produces 20% of energy supplied to the country when the real number is 3.5%! Had never heard of Hamas or The Bush Doctrine and is clueless on the economy... I hear she makes a mean moose burger though. Not the low road, just the facts. Don't delude yourself. She is dumb

[pshisbey]

This is disfunctionality at it's finest. Bailout the companies who made bad choices? NO - let them go down.  Other companies, those who made better choices, will reap the rewards. The free market will sort it out. There is no need for government intrusion. This bailout mentality (and it's been going on in the social services for far too long) is not healthy. Bailouts simply enable the crap to continue. Let the companies die! It will ultimately create a healthier and stronger economy.

[shafiki]

How a person of such little intellect can rise to a position that she has managed to get to is unbeliveable. Use your wisdom and intelligence, vote obama. If you still arent convinced Joe Biden will confirm any doubts on thursday

[personman]

Uh, what?

[cyberwanderer]

With this answer, the McCain/Palin Ticket To Nowhere officially reaches its final destination.

[CommanderCodpiece]

Who suddenly yanked really hard on her strings at 0:39?

[bgbloggger]

That's hilarious. I have several friends who are puppeteers

[Rendang1963]

your commend is great, I am havin a laugh here. But serious now, she scares me, in case of being the VP she is a heartbeat away from being the commander in chief of the US nuclear weapons arsenal, in case Mccain quits early. She already said the US "perhaps" has to go to war with Russia. WOW. Sombody with an IQ like hers having a finger on the RED button.

[jaewoongwife]

oh god.

lord help us.

[mrjost55]

I have no clue of what the hell she's trying to say... she sounds like Bush

[webby686]

wtf?

[ferrell0]

I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our, uh, education like such as, uh, South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future, for our...

[CommanderCodpiece]

PERFECT!!! Although, Miss Teen S. Carolina just might be a little smarter than Yukon Barbie (intellect sold separately).

[DXP322]

youtube genious!

[MW2772]

SNL, Katie Couric...now imagine the results of a debate between Palin and Biden.

[Outlookhazy]

That debate is happening this week (Oct 2)

[JustinProductions767]

lol ever since Tina Fey did that skit on SNL of Sarah Palin, i can't tell the difference between Tina Fey and the real Sarah Palin.

[thegroupishere]

sound like ms teen south carolina

[h1ydrippa]

Tina Fey was dead on! Palin is a total idiot!

[thegroupishere]

wat a dumbass

[Gunfulker27]

i hope joe biden destroys her.

[banerkblue]

Ugh, so do I.

[mrstudebaker]

She's an idiot. If McCain gets elected, and dies the next day of a coronary, this MORON will be president. This stupid bint will put people on the supreme court. This empty headed dumb ass will have to preside over the most powerful nation on earth at the very moment the world goes into the most dramatic transition in its history (to a post-cabron society). Her very existence acts as a net subtraction on the sum total of human knowledge.

[mrzack888]

what economy? stupid bitch don't realize globalization by the large corporations destroyed America.

[tontotonto]

what does this say about the citizens of alaska? may they should succeed from the united states, that is a state full of FAIL

[earsneyes1]

What is scary is that if this had been a job interview for a regular position, she would have been put in the "do not call back" pile. She is not qualified, and when you mix the lack of skill plus high powered weaponry plus no foreign policy experience, it all makes for a poor and dangerous choice. We do not need anymore unqualified and trigger happy people running our country.

[raulbot]

I personally believe, that U.S. Americans,

are unable to do so,

because uh,

some, people out there, in our nation dont have maps.

and uh

I believe that our education like such as in South Africa,

and the Iraq,

everywhere like such as

[1911arthur]

I have a cocker spaniel that is smarter than her.

McCain has bad judgement and this is proof.

[foolchild0]

Wow.

[logicaldog]

OOPS- Its all about healthcare reform, thats right, thats the soundbite I'm supposed to mention. Where is the cat?

[hombreazu1]

How frightening.

It's also frightening that people are concerned about calling her stupid and appearing sexist. On the contrary, you're being sexist if you give this idiot any kind of special allowance just being female. It's insulting McCain picked her instead of an actual operator. That's sexist.

Not to belabor the point, but she's an idiot.

[mcopeley]

I know at least a dozen 13-year olds who could do better than this. It's not sexist to criticize her, it's an insult to all women that this woman was selected to run for Vice President. It's a reflection on the judgment of the guy who hired her.

[901utah]

I am changing my party affiliation. I am so disgusted with the Republican ticket.Republicans sided with the oil companies who bled the economy dry in sectors of auto production, production, and manufacturing.Congress allowed companies to send jobs overseas then Congress turns around wondering why we can't pay for the 50,000 pick ups trucks.YOu give tax credits to the foreign companies, while allowing manufacturing to go overseas.Now you wonder where the jobs went to pay those mortgages

[orage1919]

Do you know that Companies in the U.S. are taxed at the second highest rate in the world?

[coasterfreak100]

Only because of free trade. Government lost those tariffs for free trade. But that's not what's killing companies. Healthcare is the number one cost for companies.

[pizeek]

WHAT??? What is she saying? Did she win a contest?

[Outlookhazy]

Anyone who thinks it's a good idea to elect this woman into a position where she's a heart attack away from being the leader of our country is insane.

[CitizensforUSA]

Vetted real well... /FAIL

[gaystereotype]

Comic gold, comic gold I tell ya

[docdcb]

That's not just a FAIL, that's spectacularly bad.

[Lonefire08]

o.O

When a Mechanical Engineering student knows more about the economic crisis than the lady running for VP... there's a problem.

As far as I can tell, the bailout has _nothing_ to do with job creation or health care.

Go back to Alaska, plskthx.

(Disclaimer: No, I'm not being sexist, as I'm female.)

[ra024755]

that's a FAIL
