Sarah Palin blames the current Health Care debacle on President Obama's lack of executive experience. She tells Greta Van Susteren that she and John McCain tried to warn America about this during the campaign.
She also calls the Health Care Bill - a coming "Train Wreck."

Sarah Palin Rea;lity Show To Become a Reality
It looks like it is going to happen. The question is where and for how much.
Variety is reporting that both A&E and Discovery Networks are competing to air "Sarah Palin's Alaska" on one of their channels.
And according to the Hollywood Reporter, Sarah Palin is asking for between $1 million and $1.5 million dollars an episode.
As first reported by Entertainment Weekly, the Palin project will center on interesting characters, traditions and attractions in the 49th state -- with the ex-VP candidate as a guide. Burnett and Palin pitched the show to all four major networks -- but given the travelogue nature of the series, it ultimately made more sense for a cable network, insiders said.
Mark Burnett, known as the King of Reality TV with "Survivor" and "the Apprentice" on th air now, is producing Sarah Palin's Alaska. He and Sarah were in Hollywood pitching the show to all four major Networks, but A&E and Discovery seem best suited for the program.
A decision is said to be coming this week.
However, according to Variety, Mark Burnett and Sarah Palin may have their eyes on an even bigger prize:
"This Alaska show, of course, could only be a prelude to a bigger TV career for Palin -- particularly if she decides not to run for president in 2012. Some industry execs believe that Burnett has his eye on turning Palin into a daytime star --- much as he revived Martha Stewart's TV career with "The Martha Stewart Show."
And talk about timing: With Oprah Winfrey exiting syndication in 2011, Burnett could always fashion a Palin yakker as a contender to fill that void. (None of this is new speculation, of course; folks like Variety's own Brian Lowry have suggested such a move might be possible since the moment Palin exited the Alaska governorship -- and in some cases, even before then.)"
What does this all mean for those who hoped Sarah Palin would run for President in 2012? If she gets the Reality Show, as expected, she could still run. If she gets the daily talk show in 2011 (and we will find out in late 2010), don't count on it.
Sarah, it seems, will have one foot in Alaska and one in Hollywood.

Code Red
Sarah Palin posted the link to The Republican National Congressional Committee web site entitled "Code Red." There you will find where the vote on Health Care is right now.
Sarah's Facebook Posting on Obama and Israel
The Obama Administration reaches out to some of the world’s worst regimes in the name of their engagement policy. America and our allies watch as sanctions are eased on Cuba. Letters are written to Iran’s mullahs only to see that regime start killing protestors in the streets of Tehran. Envoys are sent to North Korea as they continue to defy the world’s demand to give up their nuclear weapons. The Burmese military junta’s representative is allowed to travel to our nation’s capital. The President’s envoy for Sudan talks about giving that genocidal regime “gold stars,” while the President shakes hands with Venezuela’s tyrannical leader. In the midst of all this embracing of enemies, where does the Obama Administration choose to escalate a minor incident into a major diplomatic confrontation? With Iran, Cuba, Sudan, North Korea or Burma? No. With our treasured ally, Israel.
Last October, Secretary of State Clinton recognized Israel’s desire for peace in the Middle East and praised Israel’s “unprecedented” concessions for agreeing to halt settlement construction in the West Bank, a concession that did NOT include halting construction of apartments for Jews in Jerusalem. Even last week after planned construction was announced, Vice President Biden still expressed “appreciation” for the “significant” steps taken by the Israeli government to address this minor issue. Now, however, we see the Obama Administration has decided to escalate, make unilateral demands of Israel, and threaten the very foundation of the US-Israel relationship. This is quickly leading to the worst crisis in US-Israel relations in decades, and yet this did not have to happen. More importantly, it needs to stop before it spirals out of control. Vice President Biden should rein in the overheated Obama Administration rhetoric and chill the political spin masters’ fire as they visit the Sunday media shows to criticize Israel.
Once again, the Obama Administration is missing the boat on a very, very important issue. They need to go back to the basics and acknowledge Palestinian leaders have not progressed any peace process since President Obama was elected. As Israel makes concessions (and is still criticized by the Obama Administration), Arab leaders are just sitting back waiting for the White House to further pressure Israel. The Obama Administration needs to open its eyes and recognize that it is only Iran and her terrorist allies that benefit from this manufactured Israeli controversy. Vice President Biden was actually right when he said last week, before the construction announcement, that “one necessary precondition for progress is that the rest of the world knows...there is absolutely no space between the United States and Israel when it comes to security.” Right now, thanks to the Obama Administration, there is a chasm. It’s time for President Obama to push the reset button on our relations with our ally Israel.

If It's Good Enough For God....
At A Right To Life Rally in Columbus on Friday, Sarah Palin took on the media who criticized her for writing notes on here hand for her speech at the Tea Party Convention. She said the media couldn't attack the themes she wrote on her hand, so they attacked the fact that she wrote on her hand. And in her own self-deprecating way, she said she didn't have an answer for them because "that's me."
But then a woman sent her a quote from the bible that made her realize she is in good company:
Isaiah 49:16: "See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me."
Click here for more coverage of the speech.

Clearing Up More Lies About Palin
More lies about Sarah Palin.
The latest come out of Hollywood with blogs and gossips claiming that Sarah Palin, her family and her staff were demanding and greedy at an event for charity.
Sarah and her entourage attended a pre-Oscar's event put on by a well know Hollywood event company called Silver Spoon. the purpose of the event was to raise money for Haiti.
Sarah and her family were in tow because the former Governor is pitching a TV show about Alaska and her daughter Bristol is shooting a scene for an ABC TV SHOW.
Silver spoon put out a statement tonight defensing Sarah Palin. In the statement, the company demanded an apology from all those who spread the lies. Here is the statement:
The Silver Spoon, a company owned and operated by women and established with a firm belief in supporting women in business and leadership, invited Governor Sarah Palin and her family to participate in a charitable function sponsored by The Silver Spoon and the Red Cross to support the Red Cross’ disaster relief efforts in Haiti.
Governor Palin graciously accepted since it was in support of such a worthy and timely cause. The governor arrived with a small group about 15 minutes prior to our store’s official opening; and upon arrival, she and her entire group gave generous donations to the cause. We offered to open early to accommodate her schedule; she did not ask us to open early. The other vendors routinely set up an hour before the event opens, so they were already there when the governor arrived. No one was asked to come in early. When Governor Palin arrived, she and her guests made generous donations.
I escorted her around and introduced her to every vendor, and they talked to her about their products and gifted her with samples. She never asked for anything but politely accepted the products. The governor and her family and guests were very gracious and respectful to everyone. We asked and the governor happily agreed to take a photo with the American Red Cross staff and the staff of The Silver Spoon. The governor stayed for a total of about 35 minutes, thanked everyone, made an additional generous personal donation pledge to the Red Cross, and then departed.
The stories currently circulating about Governor Palin’s attendance at our event are total fabrications. Just one example of the many falsehoods is the ridiculous idea that Governor Palin walked away with 40 AIAIAI headphones. In reality, she was given two pairs of AIAIAI headphones – one for herself and one for her daughter Bristol who could not attend the event. The idea that she took 40 pairs is an outrageous falsehood. It would have been impossible because the vendors only bring around 100 items for the entire two day event. They would have run out of product after an hour of opening yesterday.
Just to clarify things, the entire point of giving someone a swag bag is to have them take your product and hopefully purchase more. The whole point of giving away products is to “give them away.” That’s why we call this type of event style a “gifting suite.”
We would like an immediate retraction and an apology to The Silver Spoon, its vendors, and especially to Governor Sarah Palin.

Sarah And The Seals
A new Post From Sarah on Facebook
Stand Up for SEALs Standing Up for Us
First the Obama Administration opened up the possibility of prosecuting CIA interrogators doing their jobs seeking information from terrorists. Then they tried to go after the Bush Administration lawyers who acted in good faith to protect us in the months after 9/11. Now some of the military brass are court-martialing three brave Navy SEALs for allegedly throwing a single punch at Iraqi terrorist leader Ahmed Hashim Abed. This is wrong. The Washington Times got it right: Save the SEALs.
These brave warriors belong in combat, not in the courthouse. They captured the most wanted terrorist in Iraq. We may never know how many other heroic missions they undertook on behalf of our country. The charges should be dropped, and they should be returned to their unit – with our gratitude for their service.
Stand up for the SEALs who are standing up for us!
