Sarah Palin: Town Hall Meeting 09/17/08

Sarah Palin and John McCain
Town Hall Meeting
Grand Rapids, MI 09/17/08

TRANSCRIPT:
QUESTIONER: Governor Palin, there has been quite a bit of discussion about your perceived lack of foreign policy experience. And I want to give you your chance, if you could please respond to that criticism, and give us specific skills that you think you have to bring to the White House to rebut that or mitigate that concern.

PALIN: Well, I think because Im a Washington outsider that opponents are going to be looking for a whole lot of things that they can criticize and that they can try to beat the candidate here, who chose me as his partner, to try to tear down the ticket. But as for foreign policy, you know, I think I am prepared and I know that on January 20th, if we are so blessed to be sworn into office as your president and vice president, certainly well be ready, Ill be ready. I have that confidence, I have that readiness, and if you want specifics with specific policies or countries, go ahead, and you can ask me and you can play stump the candidate if you want to. But we are ready to serve.

I am ashamed that she was a nominee for the second highest office in the land.

[scooby38128]

uh...she didn't answer the question

[ObsTheGreat]

Yeah, a woman who believes creationism should be taught in school and asked a librarian if she could ban books. I think I know enough about this 'successful woman' already.

[olsonlev]

I am not drinking "leftist kool-aid" the fact that you called me a kool-aid drinker makes me think you got that from talk radio. Which would make me then think your nothing more than a right wing kool-aid drinker.

You can still be a conseravative and be ashamed of the GOPs pick for VP.

[sarathomas208]

agree with you...america became the punch joke of the world ..bush and palin destroy the image of america

[garciadelacadena]

And I am ashamed of your ignorance and blindness opinion in regards a successful American Woman!!!

Learn about her and stop drinking the leftists Kool-aid.

[shellius]

What does that mean, "I have that readiness"? Supreme overconfidence doesn't mean you know jack shit about anything, it just means you're over confident.  She's an idiot.

[corkeash]
