(CNN) - Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin said Wednesday it was unfair of Barack Obama to attack John McCain after the Arizona senator said the fundamentals of the economy remain strong hours after a major investment bank filed for bankruptcy protection.
“Well, it was an unfair attack on the verbiage that Senator McCain chose to use because the fundamentals, as he was having to explain afterwards, he means our workforce, he means the ingenuity of the American people. And of course, that is strong and that is the foundation of our economy," Palin said in an interview with Fox News, her second sit-down with a reporter since being named to the Republican presidential ticket nearly three weeks ago.
“Certainly it is a mess though, the economy is a mess," Palin also said. "And there have been abuses on Wall Street and that adversely effects Main Street."
Less than 12 hours after the announcements banking giant Lehman Brothers went bankrupt and Merrill Lynch was being sold, John McCain told a Florida crowd, "People are frightened by these events - our economy, I think, still, the fundamentals of our economy are strong."
The Obama campaign immediately pounced on the comment. McCain said later in the day the strength he was referring to was that of the "American worker."

Sarah, who told you to say that? What is unfair is you knew how much baggage you had before you accepted the nomination for VP.
Obama/Biden 08
Gross.
No really.
It is not unfair for someone to point out how ridiculously out of touch you and McCain are?
Is that what you are going to tell world leaders if by chance the american public is stupid enough to elect you?
Please go away now, you are dangerously stupid and a liar.
Peace.

And not only that, it hurt her feelings....
fundamentalsof economy means American workers?

the idiots who goes to see these two idiots- a lot of idiots.
we have to make sure that these idiots don't spoil the election,
Every idiot that attends the meetings with these two, take a picture of those and print it in the news paper with a heading below-
The Dummies who follow the Dummy and the Dummer.

now it's simply 'unfair'.
Get a grip lady, you are a criminal. While I pray to god this woman isn't in the white house, it would be rather fun to have a vp serve their entire term from behind prison bars.

This about sums it up....
Palin was proved to be a liar tonight on the national news on at least 4 issues she keeps repeating and she is lying once again for John McCain. What a fraud.
It is appropriate to criticize McCain's out-of-touch comments after the financial collapse, especially since his advisory team is filled with financial lobbyists. And the McCain camp (Palin included) attack Obama endlessly about every word that he says.
OK – can everyone agree now that she was not an appropriate pick for VP? Can we agree that there's been a lot of insane rationalization going on to try to defend her as a potential President, but it was all just spin. It's become increasing clear that McCain did not put 'COUNTRY FIRST" when he picked someone without proper vetting. McCain has made a string of poor comments and told some whoppers of lies lately. But I think his pick of VP is the most extreme example of why he does not have the integrity to be our leader.
Hahaha yea ok...
Sitting with Sean Hannity on FALSENEWS is NOT an interview; it's a gimmick for Palin to read off a crafted speech of answers to questions that she is already privy to!
Who is FALSENEWS AND THE McSHAME CAPIGN FOOLING?!
WASP – WOMEN AGAINST SARAH PALIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah how about TROOPER GATE Babe was it OBAM who created that. MAy be the first dude mis spoke there as well trying to force the sacking of the trooper.
THERE'S NOTHING STRONG ABOUT BEING HOMELESS, JOBLESS, CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY FOOD, "DEAD" IF YOU GET SICK, AND NOWHERE TO RUN. . .GAS IS OUT OF REACH! ! !
WHAT COUNTRY DO YOU LIVE IN, MCCAIN?
Oh my God!!!!How can they even begin to accuse anyone? Can they even spell 'unfair'?
They are all great Americans, however, McCain and Palin are the wrong choices for America.
Ouch who is talking... the BA in journalism with 5 colleges in 5 years ..hahahahahha
NOUN--VERB--POW--OBAMA-–BILL AYERS--LIBERALS!
Get lost Palin, your days are numbered. It's just a matter of time.

Obama scares me more everyday, I do not think he can handle the huge task that is awaiting the next President. He had to take two vacations during the primary season.

it scares you..... because .....he took 2 vacations..... so.... he's not ready to be president.........
??????????????????????????????????
This is another BOOHOO moment for the Republican!!!!!!!
Just deflecting from the issues yet again!
Those idiots don't know the first thing about running an economy, especially Palin! Anything that's not in their favor is branded "unfair". Well, guess what? It's unfair to continue spewing lies that have been debunked a thousand times over!
