Governor Palin– You embarassed your state and your gender during the election. You lost. Do us a favor: Be quiet.

Did anyone else laugh out loud at the idea of the Sarah Palin even knowing the principles taught in a university-level Economics 101 course?

Sarah Palin is clearly a prime example of someone who registered and attempted an Economics 101 course and FAILED!

is she joking?

geez, and I was just thinking how great it has been NOT seeing in her headlines.

No she didn't. Who is she to talk. Oh that's right nobody.

Sarah Palin can still make the news??? I thought she was officially classified as "irrelevant." I love her comment: "Some in Washington would say that..." This is an age old debating tactic, Ms. Palin. Tell us, who are the "some?" Name them! you can't because they don't exist. Please, please, please: Do your country a service, and go away forever.

LOL. "Defies Economics 101".
Do you really think Sarah Palin passed Economics 101?

hahaha.. what do youknow about econ 101.. You had to go 4 colleges to finish your journalism degree.

She is such a joke. Keep it up, if this is what they have dems will be in the office for a very very long time. The only people she is confusing is the GOP. Moderates don't think she can cut it..Ya betcha! That is who she is going to have to convince...

Sarah's a fine one to talk about "backward and skewed."

I wish the government could control whether or not this woman gets to speak.

Go away, Sarah.

god why wont she shut up and go away. She should be holed up in a cabin with a tinfoil hat on

I should think that Mrs Palin has enough on her plate.She may need to leave weightier matters of governing to informed elected officials

What the hell would she know about Economics 101???? Maybe she can see the Treasury Dept. from her porch also – right next to Putin and those Russian's. What is he thinkin'?

Nice to see Governor Palin's ramblings are as vapid and inarticulate as ever.

"Kudos" to the poor person that had to transcribe this drivel. She has no coherent thoughts and thus no coherent speech pattern. Reading this, one gets the impression that perhaps too much alcohol was ingested during her time at the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho.

Maybe that's where she got that phrase..."I can see Russia from my house."
Perhaps it started with "I can see Moscow from the bathroom floor in my dorm."

Dear Ms. Palin,

Please, you've got to understand that America doesn't need you, the International community doesn't take you seriously...PLEASE go away! Be a Patriot!...the only ones that really need you are your abandoned and neglected kids!

Please. GO AWAY Ms. Palin.

Gov. Palin is correct!

It has already been proven with President Obama firing a CEO of a private company.

But the left will cry foul, and insist that big government and a Nanny State is the answer.

I knew it was too good to be true....we could not go 1 week without hearing about the Palins or stories related to them.

Less Palin more news, Less Palin more news, Less Palin more news!

Maybe we can send Caribou Barbie and Susan Boyle to the same island for 25 years. Enough Sarah, we GOP'ers have enough problems right now.

I agree...sit down and shut up and do your job.

I love it when Republicans who were all for illegal wiretapping of Americans, illegal indefinite detentions, the eroding civil liberties in the name of safety, mass secrecy in government and expansion of the executive branch – talk about Obama being controlling.

Oh God when will she go away? I didn't know there was a coloring book for economics 101 for her handlers to try to explain it to her. If she's the best the GOP's got, you folks are in serious trouble.

Sarah needs to "get in there" and come up with solutions and not just complaints and proposed tax cuts, which have never proved to be effective. Alaska is also in debt, so how does Sarah propose to "get in there" and fix that?

Go Sarah at least some one knows what is truly going on

HUH! so does christian fundemenalist. Palin is a whack job, she's a govenor and she controls the people in the state of Alaska by not taking the stimulus money to help the people of here state. talk about being a hypocrite!

Of course – just what we need: economic advice from the party whose policies destroyed the American economy. And especially from the governor of a state whose economy is wholly dependent on government paybacks to its citizens.
Maybe if Palin and her colleagues actually enrolled in "Economics 101" the country wouldn't be in such a mess right now.

you have all this advise but NO solutions........thats the republicans motto......THE PARTY OF NO SOLUTIONS......the public was doing just fine with out your comments.......crawl back in your hole and shut up........

Did she even take an Econ 101 class?

This woman has no credibility whatsoever. She's like a flea fart in the wind.

On a clear day . . . You can see Russia fom my house!!! And we still listen to her? Hmmmmm.

I think that this woman has nothing better to do than come up with BS, so she can get herself mentioned on CNN ever week or so. Economically her state is in a mess and she keeps flapping her jaws. Put a sock in a Sarah, no one wants to hear your noise.

She knows about Economics 101? Did she even take that class and pass? After taking 7 years to get a Journalism degree by attending 5 different schools, I doubt it.

She should know, Economics 101 was the only economics class she took.

If there was a God, She would be gone. Oh God, hear my prayers. Make anything that even resembles the Palin family disappear off of the face of the earth. Amen

Jesus says Palin should keep her eyes to the floor, stick to keeping house and childrearing, and do what her husband says. She's nothing but a Godless heathenette.

somebody needs to take this idiot into them there Alaskan woods , and send her by the way of a dead moose , how can CNN even give her a forum to say anything , this woman preaches hate at it's fullest intent , why would we want to listen to what she has to say , totally irrelevent in the lower 48 .......

Sarah loves power and Sarah only.

Thank goodness for Repubs. They don't want to control us like those bad Dems!

Except for telling us who we can or can't marry....., and except for telling us what we can and can't do about our bodies.....and except for, etc., etc.

Palin is such a bozo. She promises to provide so much wonderful entertainment in the years ahead. Non-stop laughs. And significant damage to the authority and respect of the Republican Party.

Palin hahahaha, You are a joke. Time to go to school first, Sarah for commenting on our President.

While it's quite obvious that she skipped over the chapters on Keynesian economics, my main complaint is that people are still talking about her. Please, let her sink back into obscurity.

When will this ignorant woman go away!?

would someone tell Palin she is a moron?

Actually, all the government wants is to control stupid, obnoxious people like Sarah Palin. Her trailer trash values are bad for America.

"We need to be aware of the creation of a fearful population, and fearful lawmakers....
Yep, sounds like republicans..spreading fear.

" so it can "get in there and control the people."
Yep, sounds like republicans again..saying no to gay rights and no to pro-choice.

And just what would Palin know about Economics 101??????

She wants government in the uterus but she dosen't want to controll people? Give me a break!!!!
Besides all of that govenrment spending was to bail out the parts of soceity that had been sucking up Republican liberalism since Reagan started his "supply side " economics.

When will this idiot just shut up and go away?

Palin / Romney 2012!!!!!!!

I would be ok with Romney / Palin 2012 also

Does anyone still listen to this lady?She has shown how ignorant she is on every subject u can think of.GOP is drowning.

I would be very curious to know if Sarah Palin ever took "Economics 101".

How does Palin think she has the right to lecture on anything 101? She is not capable of contributing to the discussion of America's economic challenges.

Would she PLEASE crawl back into the Alaskan wilds and shoot
wolves, bears, or something??
We do not need her decisive opinions at this time in our history.
Unite and Rebuild should be the order of the day.

Economics 101? Sarah Palin needs to take 1st grade courses and pass before she can be lecturing about economics. Comments like these from a person who cannot name a newspaper are without merit.

Palin's comments are the height of hypocrisy! Her greedy little hand was ALWAYS out when there were government dollars allocated to the states and she certainly had no problem sending it. Practice what you preach, lady.

Economics 101????? Please don't tell me this woman is talking about college courses now! If anything she needs to go back to elementary school history and english, not to mention Speech and Communications 100. She's so useless, she makes Bush look bright.

"We need to be aware of the creation of a fearful population"

I agree Sarah, now remove yourself from the national stage and a greatful nation will breathe easier and our fear will be gone.

Economics 101 –
MMmmm, now how many economics courses did Sarah Palin take in college?

"Those are the folks who want to tell me, they want to tell you, to sit down and shut up. We will not do that. I just can't, because I love my state. I love my country."

So maybe if everyone stops wishing for Palin to sit down and shut up, and asking her to sit down and shut up, maybe she'll finally realize that no one cares about her and will finally sit down and shut the hell up.

Big govt came under Bush. Palin, you have no credibility...go back to pallin' around with turkeys.

Now she is an expert on economics. She must be able to understand macroeconomics because she did her own taxes once. Just like seeing Russia from Alaska makes her an expert on international diplomacy.

I think the government already controls us Palin. This is why we have laws and processes.

Ok, I want to sale water ice on the corner – can I do it, or do I need government approval? How about water on the corner? Do I have to provide this information to the IRS and be taxed on it? I want to buy a car – Ok I need insurance, car registration, license. Government control Mrs. Palin.

That's right Sarah, they're ALL out to get you!

"Since when can you get out of huge national debt by creating trillions of dollars of new debt?" Palin asked.

---
Hmmm....wasn't that the Reagan plan? He said, the defecit don't matter because the resulting economic growth will pull us out of debt.

I love to hear the common sense statements from this smart lady.. she is as tough and loyal to her country as they come–and she scares the lefties (especially liberal women) to death.

Sarah Palin–still a no-nothing nincompoop trying to inflame the deluded passions of the extreme right. Let's hope she goes back to looking for Putin's "rearing head" and shuts up.

and she has a degree in economics? I thought she had a degree from Barbie State College in "how to make a fool of yourself everytime you open your mouth" in Dumbsville, USA

Yep, and your Republican Party of late seems to be doing there best to do just that.

Like it or not.....Palin is RIGHT. Deal with it Lefties...

Yet, she has no problem accepting billions of dollars from Washington representing almost a third of her state's economy!

Why is this woman still in the NEWS?????

Idiot speech. Unbelievably ignorant, yet more unbelievable to be from a governor! In case you forgot, Sarah Palin, we are still in serious economic depression. Are you really thinking about Alaskan people or just for yourself?

People in Alaska, I trust you not to be fooled again by this shallow minded idiot in the next election.

If she's no shootin' moose from helicopters, vistin' turkey slaughter mills, klan rally-in', incitin' – you know she's out spewin' something completely off the wall.

Why is this even a ticker item, CNN?

Palin, and all these governors running for president are all hypocrites. They talk about how fiscally conservative they are and how they'd reject millions of dollars in stimulus money. But not one of them rejected more than 5% of the stimulus money going to their state! If they're so responsible, if they're so fiscally conservative, they'd have rejected all of that money! They are all talk, but no action! They're fake conservatives, nothing more!

I see that the terrorists are still not in Alaska....and why would they be?

Palin has nothing to offer. As the GOP did for 8 years.

She thinks the government wants to control the people???? Where was this broad during the Bush admin. abuse of power and wrecking citizens rights. What an idiot.

Go have some moosemeat

Doesn't Sarah Palin want to control people too? after all, denying basic rights to choose how people live(not just abortion mind you) in favor of a handful of biblical rules(while ignoring many others) seems to be what Sarah Palin advocates. Abstinence only, Denial of gay and lesbian rights, various women's rights issues...the list goes on when it comes to the republican Party's desire to control how Americans live.

Still can't believe she has such an audience.

Having 25% of business fail is one thing, letting them all go under until the Chinese come in and buy them is another. Economic 101 says that you gave away you economic independence by letting greedy companies move their manufacturing base to foreign countries, and in the process create an unfair market. Now those same countries are coming into the US and buying your assets. I rather have the USA government owned these business for a short time than see more of the economic base owned by foreign countries.

In large part due to all the violations committed to our constitutional rights by the cheney/bush administration its become a LOT easier to do just that, control the people.

It is now and has been for a while a "people for the government" not the reverse.

Talk about putting people in fear, you and your kind wrote the book! You should of geared all this anger towards the GOP who put us in this place from the start with the Bush administration. A little too late to be blaming and whining now...

does she know Alaska is in debt. I want her to run in 2012, becouse i want to hear her speach after she losses.

Have this idiot ever taken an English 101 class? God she is horrible.

NO ONE CARES!!!

Stop reporting on this one hit (almost) wonder...PLEASE!

We dont need to give her any more publicity!!

With all due respect Governor Palin, I am more fearful of Conservative Republican saberrattling. The administration doesn't scare me. Palin is the bridge to nowhere.....

This witch can't distinguish foreign policy with seeing Russia from her window, and wants to talk about Economics.

funny that ms. palin would say – "...sound(s) like absolute nonsense...".

one could make a bit of an argument that most of what she says is absolute nonsense.

go away already. in fact, take cheney with you.

All this coming from someone not even capable of keeping "control" of her own house! I doubt she could "control" a bowel movement!

Palin can't even speak English 101

Debt is dumb and makes you nothing but slave to the lender.

Palin and whoever for president in 2012 has my and my families vote all the way!!! These liberals do NOT have america in their best interests.

Sarah Palin has got it right! Look at what is happening to our country. Contol over the food, water, transportation, ....... beware thy citizens, beware.....

Careful how you speak Gov. Palin. Because of your close proximity to Russia, the President is considering you for a post to Russia as the Ambassador. This way the government can save money because you can come home every night since you are so close to Russia and can even see your work place from your house. So be careful not to put your Moose in your mouth.

"Control the people..."? You know, we don't hear from this ignorant moron for awhile and you forget what an idiot she really is...and then she speaks again. The fact that she is even a brief thought of a possible presidential candidate by right wing conservatives prove beyond a shadow of a doubt how out of touch or better yet, stupid the base of the GOP really are. Pathetic.

What in the heck would she know about economics 101? Shut up Sarah, no one cares what you have to say!!

Governors and Government need to fear the people.

As much as most of America would love to see you sit down and shut up, I do not see you ever doing that. You are too much into yourself sarh palin. And except for your base, you are not wanted in the limelight. And for goodness sakes, don't any of you start how we are afraid of sarah. I left the Republican Party because of her being the choice for the VP. She spewed so much hate, don't know how any Christians can support her. She has so little inteligence it is hard to believe that anyone with common sence could support her. Please go away sarah

Really, Ms. Palin? Where was your outrage when the previous adminstration starting digging the hole we now find ourselves in?

"Failing Palin" would do better if she CONTROLLED her family and leave the government to qualified individuals.

When the Fed bails out states like California then it will give them too much control over state rights. California is screwed... just like other blue states.

"We need to be aware of the creation of a fearful population....." ?????? I thought that was the complete republican strategy!

Her Again?!

She's getting Economics 101 and Home Economics classes mixed up... again.

The view of Russia must be really nice this time of year.

Does anyone believe that Palin could have earned a passing grade in Economics 101? One thing you have to say for her, she certainly doesn't have anyone writing (or editing) her speeches.

Actually, Sarah, the government just wants to control hormone driven teenage girls from having unprotected sex. If you were doing YOUR job as a mother and a Governor, the federal government wouldn't have to spend millions on teaching families comprising dumb people like you how to be responsible.

Sarah you have become irrelevant...what do you know about ecnomic 101?

Now who told Palin about Econ 101. She hate the bloggers but look like Todd Palin has been keeping up with us bloggers! Sarah go away you will never step foot in a position in the lower 48 or for that matter the Woman in Chief Ms. dummy – there is another woman in awaiting for our Party. You are not one of us!

this women is sick and myopic...control the people??????!!!!!! GOP good luck

'defy Economics 101'? Well sarah, 2 + 2 = 4 and 2 x 2 = 4. However, 2 + 3 = 5 BUT 2 x 3 = 6. Now, does that 'defy the law of addition'? Of course not. See sarah, the solution is just a little more complex than Economics 101, which I seriously doubt you were studied anyway.

said the governor of the state that accepts the most earmark money.

oh good lord... the government taxes us just so they can control us. Ok paranoid freak. shut up and take a seat in the background where you belong.

How about a wink, cutiepie?

I agree with the good Governor. Government is too big and should no longer subsidize each and every Alaskan citizen with those big oil welfare checks. Thanks for putting "Country first", Sarah. If we shouldn't bail out debt ridden states, we certainly shouldn't subsidize non-debt ridden states. Economics 101.

I think Sarah Palin would be more politically viable if she had been present in Salem during the witch trials. Look! Something I either don't understand or is foreign to me, BURN IT!

Oh Sarah, forgive you not for you know not what you say.

The GOP continues to flounder in the shadows of President Obama. They pursue a downward spiral in hopes of resurrecting their idealistic rhetoric against a man who has, in such a short amount of time, revolutionized the presidency of the United States for the good of all humanity.

..and please, stop calling the kettle black...no pun intended.

Does this sound parnoid to anyone? If not, then you might want to see a doctor. Has she taken Econ 101? If so, how long did she look at the books? I am starting think that people should challenge her sanity. Is there too much Limbaugh in her head? This sounds like someone who fears too much.

I am pretty sure she never took Economics 101.

pilin....you talking about principles and economics????????typical CON servative trash, check your home principles before you spew your hatred

Um, let's see. The first bailout came under the watch of good ol GW in 2008. Not that I agree with the bailout of the auto industry either, but if your are going to start swinging Sarah at least start at the beginning and not just where Obama took over....................................

U flippin hack! SO let GM fail. and all banks fail. and let see how you really like chaos. Get a grip. You only took econ. 101, You forgot about econ 420. Advanced Econ.......... how to get out of a depression = Gov. spending. mmmm sucks to read books doesnt it.

Funny that she thinks the government wants to control the states. I was under the impression that is what the Republicans were trying to do with their upright moralistic views and ideology.
Push your beliefs on the public long enough and hard enough and they will start believeing it...I mean isn't that what Bush and Cheney and Rove did the whole timne while Bush was in office??
Sarah..be quiet and stay in Alaska.

If Palin had actually taken economics instead of 5 years of communication classes in 6 schools, she might know that if people are not spending and you cut back government spending too, then there will be no source of spending that will give people money. You betcha. Wink wink!

Little Miss Ice Chip and Michael Reagan. Now that's about as deep as an Alaskan mud pit and ethical as a Ted Stevens construction project.

She is correct.

Why can't this moron just shut ad go away. No one cares what she has to say she is a idiot..

"Since when can you get out of huge national debt by creating trillions of dollars of new debt?" Palin asked. "It all really is so backwards and skewed as to sound like absolute nonsense when some of this economic policy is explained."

I don't know Sarah. Maybe it works in much the same way that lowering taxes raises government revenue.

Her paranoia about the government is based largely in her religious belief that everyone will have 666 stamped on their foreheads.

Here goes this goofy oddball again,when will this nut job go away?

She can't even give and intelligent speech.

Every week or two if someone has not mentioned her name her she comes with some more dumb stupid remarks. Her and Boehnor did to fly off into the sunset togther they wold make and excellen pair

Why does Gov. Palin always use the word "Fear" in every speech she gives?

Osama Bin Laden uses fear, Iran uses fear, North Korea uses fear, Communists use fear.

This is America, we are the country that stops leaders who use fear.

Like controlling who gets married to whom and whether it's legal to have an abortion or not.
More stupidty from the Great White North.

*Yawn* Crazy as a Fox commentor.

To all the neo-cons that say we progressives "hate" the half-wit, she is too pathetic to garner any emotion other than pity. Jokes about her are like shooting fish in a barrel and are no challenge.

However, just like Brittney and Lindsey, we never know what idiotic action or comment will she/they make so we watch as though we were watching a train wreck in slo-mo.

In other words, when this twit jumps out of the helicopter after a hunt for 2 day old bunnies, without her panties on, then we will lose interest, until then, not so much!

If you love your country Sarah, you will spare it the sound of your god awful annoying voice, extremely subpar intellect (that's providing she has one at all), and crazy religious ideas. Have your ghost vanquishing ceremonies along with your anti-civil rights fundraisers away from the intelligent section of the country who was smart enough to vote against you last November.

Is she still here?

Its the Republicans who have created a fearful population, and are still busy doing it now. Screaming about how the country is less safe and attack is imminent, burning buildings in campaign ads.

Republicans are all about fear and intimidation tactics, because if there is nothing to fear then their main national security platform is nothing.

Her she goes again open mouth inseirt foot. Like she doesn't want to control people. Again she whins about ethics complaints shes had a lot some are right on some should never have been filed. Folks I live in alaska you palin supporters better take a good long look at her record she not that good or honest.

Palin is right, and she was right when she said that the murder of Pvt. Long in Little Rock, by a convert to Islam, is being ignored while attention is being paid to the murder of George Tiller. We need more people who see things as they are, and isn't afraid to say so.

GO SARAH !
Give the scumbag hell.

Wow, someone who really gets what this is all about. Who knew it would be Palin?? I bet Couric never says this. She is in the back pocket of the corporate media so that won't happen. So are all of MSM.

It is interesting that Republicans who have played their part in increasing national debt are complaining about it now. Funny she should mention it while introducing Reagan's son. To quote Dick Cheney "Reagan proved deficits don't matter."

now here comes the left wing nut cases, Sarah Palin is like blood to a shark with these idiots. While they continue to give the great one a pass on everything.

is this woman still around?

Now we have Sarah Palin the economist. She can barely speak english much less lecture on economic issues. Dragging out Michael Reagan who was basically an embarrassment for his father is just another example of how misguided and intellectually vacant Palin is. Don't understand why CNN or any network would even take the time to print this stuff. If anything it should be in the entertainment section.

Palin conveniently failed to mention the doubling of the national debt by the Bush?Cheney administration and ironically with Michael Reagan in tow the doubling of national debt during the Reagan/Bush 1 administration.

As for her total lack of knowledge of rudimentary economics did she never hear of Keynes?

Oh Lord, another dumb statement from a dumb person. I just don't know why when she chooses to speak that she can't ever say something helpful or intelligent. This woman has the IQ of a 5 year old!

Your ignorance always amazes me, Palin. Really, if you want the republican party to survive, you need to stop talking about issues on which you are not informed and making fear-motivated accusations.

Just stop, Sarah Palin, please. You're embarrassing.

Why is she still being touted out as a Republican leader?

Go home beauty queen and stay there.

Does anyone really believe sarah even took economics 101?

Sarah Palin is a foolish, ignorant woman whose ambition far outstrips her abilities or knowledge.

Well the right wing neo-cons want to control people, the part of the Republican party Palin swears allegiance to. The extreme left wing wants to control people's behavior but everyone in between (about 60% of the country) has a "live and let live" attitude. Perhaps Palin should leave the dark side and take a few million steps towards the middle. We'd love to introduce "real America" to her.

Could she be a bigger idiot? The mess Obama is trying to bail us out of was caused by her people. Bush created more government than ever before. Thank God she lost, now I just wish she would shut up and go hunting or something.

What a nut job. She sounds like a reporter for the Enquirer.

"It all really is so backwards and skewed as to sound like absolute nonsense when some of this economic policy is explained."

And if there is anyone who is intimately familiar with nonsense, it's Sarah Palin.

Still talking huh Sarah?

Reagan limited goverment so well that he added well over 2 trillion to the national debt twice what all Presidents before him added. Bush equaled and then some the national debt of all previous presidents before him. These are your so called fiscal conservatives!!

Reading her speech is like watching a train wreck. Looks like a 5 year old wrote her speech.

"Pailin will be the bestest president because she will free the people and give us all free candy."

Govenor Palin has more guts than the GOP beltway establishment and the courage, which they also lack, to challeg Comrade O. Good for her, great for us.

And apparently people want the government to take care of the as well.

What in the world does Sarah Palin know about Economics 101?

Oh, my lord, the prattlings of a moron...

And this comment comes from the CONTROL QUEEN, Just ask Levi who tried to control him during the campaign. Just shut up and go away, I can kick myself for even clicking and responding to this idiot. Sarah go shoot something that is about the only thing you are good at.

I sit in abject wonder at the incomprehensible audience for rhetoric like this.
Lapping up the lies like Pavlovian dogs, the "Right" wing seems to preach and teach fear, then call those of us who want to live in the sunlight "fear mongers... What a JOKE

let's make a deal – ignore anything sarah says for at least a year and then use she and her family for a sit com!

As usual, Gov. Palin does not deal with reality and keeps trying to use the totally worn out fake fear factor the Republicans have used for too many years. She needs to wake up and move at least into the 19th century.

"bail out debt ridden states" so it can "get in there and control the people."
-----------------------------–

AMEN Gov. Palin. That's exactly what this government wants. Thank you for having the GUTS to say it.
-----------------------------–

"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them."
--Thomas Jefferson---

Palin and her remarks if she truly believes them are paranoid and delusional. And they are a continuation of the GOP fear and scare tactics. I am MUCH less fearful of the Obama administration than of the Bush lead administration of eight years of TERROR. Everyone knows this list of examples, so there is no need to restate them. Palin, the only thing we have to fear is fear itself...and YOU...and like-minded RepubliCONS.

Thank you Sarah Palin for being the voice of reason – this administration is NOT. I applaud you and your voice and pray that "the People" will wake up to what is happening to our country. Government is NOT the answer. Again thanks.

Palin, of cause, who has a degree a journalism that took 4 different colleges to get and does not even read current newspapers knows everything about Economics 101. Government wants to control "the people"? This is coming from one of the worst control freaks imaginable... God... the hypocrisy of this person is without limit...

Sarah Palin is still relevant how?

Sarah, the Republicans got us into this mess so now Obama is going to get us out of it. Plus you have nothing really to say anyway.

What is wrong with this woman? She thinks she has the right to tell me who I can and can not marry, what I can and can not do with my body, when I can decide what quality of life or death I want and she still thinks the government NOW wants to control the people? She is what is wrong with the republican party. Keep talking it will make it easier to defeat republicans next election. People like her have made my daughter a democrat.

Not another fear tatic. Hey Palin who were those people who aren't Amrrican and don't look like you? Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, white librals? Lady I know children smarter than you. Obama won now go back to that igloo and be quiet

"We need to be aware of the creation of a fearful population, and fearful lawmakers, being led to believe that big government is the answer, to bail out the private sector, because then government gets to get in there and control it."

--------–

The more she speaks, the less intelligent she exposes herself to be. This quote contains several poorly-worded beginnings of sentences, and one poorly-worded conclusion to a sentence. It is unfortunate for Sarah that none of the components match-up to communicate a coherent idea. What a dolt.

Its not love of state or country that you do the things you do, it is love of money and power.

I think Palin just figured out that Obama's tax plan includes a repeal of the Bush tax cuts for the rich. It only took her 3 months to figure that one out.

Please run for President – 2012 will be the first time both parties will work hard to keep the current person in the White House.

just when I thought she was gone...

Pretty soon, she will be making a hat out of tin foil... "the government wants to get in there and control the people" and eat their BRAAAAIIIINNSSSS.

I am not a praying woman, but I pray that Sarah can stave off her meltdown until she locks up the 2012 GOP nomination. Her total public humiliation is one of my top fantasies...

Looks like she will play the fear card till the print fades from it.Shes the greatest clueless dipstick Ive ever seen,but the clueless rednecks love her.

In alaska it just to blame cold to think straght. Said enough.

Go away, Ms. Palin.

Like Palin would know anything about economics 101 – when will this idiot just go away???????

She has NO clue.

What an idiot!

Does she know enough Economics 101 to tell us just exactly which principles it is violating? And how would "rescuing the states", were the federal government to do it, lead to control of the people? This speech doesn't make a lot of sense.

As long as Republicans remain ideologically beholden to the excesses of neo-liberal dogma, wherein all the causation for the 'Great Recession' lies, I ain't interested.

America needs a model of capitalism which provides security, while, simultaneously, doesn't infringe too much on liberty.

Which one of the 5 colleges she attended did she actually take Econ 101 at? Econ 101 would have taught her about basic Keynesian theory, which she apparently understands NOTHING about.

J.O.K.E is all this is

I think I'm in love!!! No wait...I'm married....hmmm.....well she can still be my president in 2012!!!! Go Cuda!!!!!

She should get an award for being the only idiot in history who gets media coverage when she utters uncoherent sentences. I wonder whether or not she really knows how much of an empty suit she is. She really struggles to complete sentences that convey a clear and concise thought. Since her sentences are reflective of her thoughts, can't people see that Sarah doesn't have what it takes to lead or govern anything? She's totally unqualified.

It appears that if Sara Palin breathes, CNN will be there to cover it.

who cares what this woman has to say.

I could be rich by now if I would have bet with Sara will come out and speak againt the President. It is always right after the President give a major speech. If you don't believe me, go back in check for your self. She can not compete with this President becasue he is out of her lead.

I thought the legal defense fund was set up to take care of fees brought on through the Troopergate situation where she had to hire her own attorney.

Did she actually have to pay out of her pocket for this Arctic Cat ethics complaint?? Does someone know how that works ? It seems to me that the personnel board meets and they decide if the complaint has legs. If not, they dismiss it. Why does any money come out of Governor Palin's pocket?

Well, its now officail, she's a functional idiot. I'm surprised she didn't use technical terms such as "OMG", "like totally" or "Whatevas, I'm outtie"

Ms. Palin sometime silence is golden. When you do not have anything constructive to say, it is more respectful to be quiet. I believe you are still living in the part and have not gotten over the election loss you created for your self.

The last time I checked, the government "is" the people!

Aren't Sarah's 15 minutes of fame over yet? Perhaps Sarah would like to re-educate Paul Krugman, the Nobel Prize winning Economist, on ECON 101, who noted in his recent opinion piece, Reagan Did It, that Reagan's declaration that “Government is the problem, not the solution” and that “the magic of the marketplace must be set free” are the cornerstones of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. Sarah must know something Paul doesn't...

CNN, CNN, CNN...that's a very slanted title. How about "PALIN: Government defying 'Economics 101'" or "PALIN: trillions of debt 'fly in the face of principles'"

Way to cash in on another network's lampooning. Anything for a few more ratings points, right?

Palin has never taken economics 101!

The debt is NOT NEW! It's only a couple hundred million more then what Bush signed!

Does this mean that Alaska is no longer going to accept Federal dollars above and beyond the level that it contributes to the national treasury? Or is this simply more fraudulent red meat rhetoric from Palin along the lines of her mythical turning down of the money for the bridge to nowhere?

I agree the woman has a ways to go with the "political etiquette" but she at least has the desire and vision to clean out the fat politicians.I really have a hard time believing that the congress of our country can not solve our budget problems, energy problems and a few others...good people that get distracted by their wealth and power...bring on Sarah Palin..let her stir some things up, maybe it will wake a few of the other sup

So...she supports Reagan's fiscal policies, which ran up huge budget deficits, and she supported Bush's $700 billion dollar bailout of the financial sector, but she opposes Obama's fiscal policies? Does this woman have any idea what the hell she is talking about? Does she actually expect us to believe that when a Republican bails out the private sector and runs enormous deficits they're saving the economy/country, but when a Democrat does it, they're "fly[ing] in the face of principals?" It is beyond me why there are so many people that are dumb enough to support this woman.

I thought she went away...

Oh for the love of God, I thought we were done with the daily reports on what a specific governor from one state has to say. Please, if you have to report on her, then make sure you also include quotes from every other governor.

By the way, no one wants an Economics 101 speech from someone who took 6 years to get a Journalism degree!

Does Palin run out and break wind once a month just so CNN will put her in the news? Well, it is working.

Nooooo, the Republicans want to control people. Its the Republicans that are anti abortion, anty gay marriage, anti science, and basically anti anything good at all that will help the people. Its the Republicans that want to remove any social programs, and any benefits people may have, and give all the money to the military.

Stop Palinizing everything by twisting it until it no longer resembles the truth but something else entirely. Enough is enough Palin. Enough of you. Go back and hide under your rock, you slimey snake.

Isn't she just a wonderful woman? Not

Stupid is, as stupid does, Sarah. You of all people know that.

Gov Palin:

I'd suggest you maybe should go back & read up on how FDR steered the US out of the Great Depression for a bit of a clue. That does required you to read. You still sound like you did last fall to me – very scary.

[...] The Queen of Wingnuttery speaks. Alaska governor Sarah Palin let loose Wednesday on the Obama administration for enacting fiscal policies that "fly in the face of principles" and "defy Economics 101." [...]

Have we forgetton this was all started by Republicans? If he said we are not helping, he would then be call a president who does not care about the people. Let's remember how we got into this situation and let history judge. It is impossible to have one branch of government take over and control the people, our system has checks and balances.

We need to be aware of the creation of a fearful population, and fearful lawmakers
--------------------------------
That is astounding from a Republican. WOW!

"I can see Russia from my house! You bectha!"

She sounds so, so stupid all the time...people will do and say anything for the love of money...period!

God, can somebody please get this woman a speechwriter! Her language is atrocious and clearly she doesn't know what she's talking about.

She doesn't really think we believe she understands Econ 101, does she?

was just wondering when this simpleton will make news again, I haven't heard about her in awhile, just her knocked up 'abstinence only' daughter.

She can't even control her own family...who is she to talk about controlling the country. We've had a few days w/o this nut in the news...thanks CNN for ruining my day...

You're an idiot! The Republicans will be doomed should they ever be foolish enough to nominate you again for high office.

say it ian't so sarah.
do you not have enough to do with Alaska?

Oh......T-paw looks to be getting ready for 2012/so you do not have to worry.......take care of your state.......if you can.

goos ,golly, gee ............................................................

how is Russia lookin' lately?

This from a person who barely passed Readingn 101.

Palin has it correct, about big goverment. The push by Obama and his cronies, then Obama and his choice of Supreme Court. Then we have the man who is giving Illegals preference treatment. at the federal level.. Then Governor of Wisconsin wants to give illegals driver licenses and build a nusring school for those who can't pass tests like most hard working persons. This is a start of distroying the U.S.??????? Democrats are work????

What does she know about economics? Nothing. She needs to crawl back in her hole. Then she has the audacity to mention foreign policy? Pleeeeeeeease. This women is like an in-grown toenail, a pain. Please shut up Sarah Palin and go back to school so that you can really learn about history and government. Not to worry though, we will be rid of you after your term of governor is up.

"You betcha, there gonna get in there and control the people!!" Two words...shut up!

This morning I watched President Obama make a major policy speech to the world. This afternoon I read these comments by Sarah Palin. The contrast between the two could not be clearer. Like so many in her Republican party she seems so small, so petty, almost irrelevant except, I suppose, to those in the "Real America."

tell me again,, who exactly wants to tell the american people who they can and cannot marry... isnt that the goverment telling its people what to do? dont be a hypocrite,, either you want the government banning stuff or you dont. which is it palin?

mitt sucks!

She's an idiot. Who really cares what she says?

"Since when can you get out of huge national debt by creating trillions of dollars of new debt?"
Gotta spend money to make money – THAT'S Economics 101.

"It all really is so backwards and skewed as to sound like absolute nonsense when some of this economic policy is explained."
If something is skewed to sound like nonsense, then it makes sense in the first place. She means that it is skewed to sound like sense.
Idiot.

"Nonsense" like having foreign policy experience by seeing Russia from your fron porch! Please, just clueless! When is the next govenitorial election in Alaska. What an embarasment!

I can't understand anything this person says, even after seeing her words written down. Her sentences can barely be diagrammed.

Palin is 100% right. Our liberal gov't wants control of everyone and everything...banks, auto makers, health care, etc....Whatever happened to our freemarket???

Amen Sarah !

Sit down and shut up!

Can someone remind where that "bridge to nowhere" was built? Was it not Alaska right before Gov Palin turned down the money before she accepted it? Ahhh yes, she's qualified to speak about the Federal government helping states out. Add that to her list of being qualified to speak for unwed mothers and you've got a winner there – boy oh boy, don't ya!

Yeah the government does want to control people. By telling people who they can and can't marry, what harmless plants people can't use and telling women what they can and can't do with their bodies. Mrs. Palin, you're just as bad as them.

Yeah, and Sarah Palins an idiot. Your point Sarah?

Wow. I just read Obama's Cairo speech and then read this. I wish I had read Obama's speech and then decided to take a nap. I'd think her thingamabober (speech) was sinister if it wasn't such obvious and bumbling hogwash.

The fear mongering pot wants to call the kettle black? Palin and the rest of the vacant-brained GOP is well known of creating FEAR in the American population.

I guess the best way to shuck the label is to pin it on someone else.

Now suddenly Sarah Palin is an expert on economics? Give me a break! It only took her 6 years at 4 different community colleges to earn a simple Bachelors Degree in Journalism! That by itself tells me everything I need to know about this know nothing imbecile! Answer me this if she's from Alaska then why does she have an upper midwest accent?

Yes Sara, and my nephew is still in Iraq. Also. To.

Ok, Palin supporters, do we go back 20 years to Reagan or should we continue to move forward?

Which is it going to be?

Leaving aside the irony of the governor of the most socialized and federally-reliant state in the union complaining about government handouts, would Palin prefer the federal government to just stand aside and let states and the economy fail? I know there is a branch of the right wing that actively seeks an end to government, but this is just nuts.

And listening to la Palin spouting off unsubstantiated paranoia about the government 'taking over' makes me ever more glad this loon will only get close to the White House as a guest.

John McCain, what the hell were you thinking?

I knew it wouldn't be too long before this ass surfaced again. She reminds me of finger nails on a chalk board.

Sarah is speaking again? Once again speaking the same rhetoric she spewed during the the campagning, fear, fear, fear. The are coming into a town near you.

The Government is in our lives, you have to pay taxes, you have to go to school and if your child does not do that, you go to jail. Over turn Roe v. Wade and the Government and the religious zealous will be controling the woman fertility. Telling these women they can't have birth control so they don't bring into this world unwanted babies. We have that right to control ourselves.

She maybe a Governor but she cannot put two words together,

Sarah who?

Isn't she the lady who rang up someones credit card debt to the tune of $150,000 for some cloths.

I'm having trouble remembering who she is. Governoer of Guam, or something, right?

I really thought that people in Alaska were smarter that this. Will somebody please tell this bimbo to zip her lips!

Republican just do not get it, most americans are not afraid so fear and hatred do not gain traction anymore.

Mr Obama is running circles around the GOP at every level and the last person the GOP need to run or be a spokes person against him is someone he has already soundly defeated.

The sheer dumbness of the GOP is breath taking.....

Sarah we don't have time for you today, our President is out there trying to fix the world. Go play outside with Trigger, Bigger, Jigger whomever! I'll call you when dinner's ready!

Palin knows nothing about economics and certainly not proper English. Further, Palin wouldn't have ethic complaints filed against her if she did things within the law of the land. Again Palin blames others for her own personal wrong doings as usual. When will this woman ever take responsibility and that is fearful within itself.

"And mark my words, this is going to be next, I fear, bail out next debt-ridden states. Then government gets to get in there and control the people."

Fear fear fear fear fear.... knocked up, unwed daughter....
fear fear fear fear fear... crap they didn't have any WMD lets go find some more......
fear fear fear fear fear.... I'm anti-gay but I just got caught with a male prostitute.....
fear fear fear fear fear.... Republicans are hawt... NOT!

why is this even news, economics 101. Didn't she get a D- in micro-economics. She lost a lot of credibility on the campaign trail. Credibility she can't get back. A first impression is a lasting impression.

And here comes the hate letters from the Obamanites, the same ones who cries about us when we criticize their big O.

She's always had good ideas, although when she ran with J.McCain she articulated those ideas in a way that made her sound unintelligent.

If she improves her rhetoric, and does well in the early GOP primaries, she could be a nightmare for Obama: IF she is able go consistently sound intelligent.

She's got a long way to go, but then again, 2012 is pretty far off.

Will she ever just go away!!!

And Ms. Sarah Queen of Ethics what would you do? I bet you don't even know the principals of Economics 101, just as you do not know the principals of Ethics 101.

I was wondering when CNN was going to get back to publicizing the regular inane ramblings of this inconsequential dimbulb.

Who cares about what Sarah Palin said. I can't believe she is qualifield to even hold the governorship office and she wants to be our commander in chief.
Thank you John McCain for gambling your chance to win the presidency.

Not that I really expect to Palin to have read either a history book or an economics text, but her ignorance never fails to shock me. Ronald Reagan, who was confronted by two recessions himself as president, initiated vast government spending and racked up historical amounts of debt in order to stimulate growth (albeit, military spending). He also, by the way, raised taxes more than 10 times. Does Palin just make stuff up as she goes or does she have staff that comes up with this nonsense for her?

Palin, Did you even pass Econ 101 during your 4 or 5 year Junior College expedition?

Still on Bailout? We moved on already......Old,old news, miss Palin!

What the heck? She needs a teleprompter. As a governor, I need her to speak in clear cohesive sentences not jargon and phases. What ever her point is, she misses her audiences because she speaks as though she's sitting on her porch shooting the breeze with her neighbors.

For a person that couldn't even buy her own clothes, she sure has some nerve.

[....]. Wewill not do that. I just can't, because I love my state. Ilove my country.

Ms. Palin is among others of us who love and have served our country. We are not just now proud of our country for the first time in our adult life like that obama woman, and now she is praiseing that Sotomayor woman. Pure trash. The type of people you would expect to find if you do like James Carville says "drag a hundred doller bill through a trailer park"

I find it funny that a woman who went to 6 different universities and could only manage one pathetic degree in six years is lecturing the country/lawmakers about economics 101. I highly doubt the woman even understood the concepts.

Sit down and shut up Sara. You're not the brightest bulb on the tree. Geeeeeezzzzz

This story covers the sum total of Sarah Palin's knowledge of economics. A lot of scary debt...you betcha.

This was almost our Vice President. We need to examine her head for some activity in there. She has left the planet.

I am befuddled. during the Campaign, Palin did not exhibit any sophisticated economic insights. She offered no solutions to the economic issues that I can recall. Now she is an economic genius? This is the aprt of the Republican Party that continues to alienate. Lady, your intellect was vacuous.

First it was Alaska now she can see economics from her back door.

WOW....just when Palin couldn't possibly sound like she's in way over her head, she says this. How can Americans take this person seriously? Worst, how can Alaskans be that dumb to elect her? This woman shouldn't be a politician, she should be Rush Limbaugh's co-host in the same manner that Ed McMahon cohosted with Johnny Carson. She's a nut....and we do want her to shut up.

I would bet my last dollar that Palin herself, NEVER enrolled in Econ 101, at any of the 5 colleges that she attended in 6 years! She is the authority on nothing.

Deranged and paranoid.

She's right in this case, this guy wants total control over everyone and everything. He and congress want to take away as much of our personal freedoms as possible,tell you how to live,what to drive, raise your taxes so he can give it away to people who won't pull their own weight, raise your energy bills in the name of this BS global warming and ruin the healthcare that we have now. Born a dem, raised a dem but as of Nov. 08, not sure anymore. Sure not one of the ones fooled by the hype.

"Palin warned that the government is planning to "bail out debt ridden states" so it can "get in there and control the people."

So they can git in there and control the people – what a hick – she may be the second dumbest person in the world.

Go away, go away, go away.

who is this sarah palin? she was a fad, now unknown

Palin again trying to Sound Smart does she Pratice in front of a Mirror? I thank god every day she and Mccain Lost!

hummm is that a little bit of projectin sarah? That would explain the numerous abuses of power claims filed on ya'.

Rut-Roh... A Palin post...

Be prepared for the most vile hatred your eyes may ever witness.

Who in the hell with a half of brain listens to this idiot. It's obvious she does not know a thing about a recession. Read your history stupid woman, FDR had to spend money to move us out of the depression. why is this ignorant loser always getting any air time?

...as opposed to to fundamentalist Christians, who only want to control what you are allowed to read and say, what you can do in the privacy of your own home, what medical procedures you can undergo, what you can ingest, drink and smoke, who you can marry...

...yeah them gub'ment people is power hungry...

Keep talking Sarah! Every time you open your trap you dig yourself and your party a deeper hole! Stop, listen and absorb President Obama's speech to the Muslims this morning. You might learn something about professionalism and class!

When is this ding bat going to go away? Enough already. Just like she's trying to control the people of Alaska, starting with her daughters baby daddy Levi. How ironic to front him doing the campaigning season and then drop him out of their lives like a hot potato. Palin, you are a psycho loser with the rest of your right wingers.

I don't want government to control people, but I would like to see governmetnncontrol Sarah Palin!

What a mouth full of meaness.

Sarah, the only thing people need to fear is YOU. You are certifiably insane. Tell us O enlightened one, what is YOUR solution. Until you have a better idea, zip it.

Shut up Sarah, you had your shot and you were rejected, go back to shooting moose.

Yap, yap, yap.....talk about sounding like absolute nonsence.....I see she sill can't put together a decent sentence.

Thank you Mrs Palin to tell me that. I like to have the government control me, to feed me, cloth me and take care of me. That's their job.

When is the media going to stop covering the rantings of a deluded moron who can't speak, clearly can't think, can't be open-minded, and can't be trusting. Unbelievably, she seems to be getting more and more paranoid. She now sounds like a conspiracy freak.... We need to ignore her. Please stop covering her. Intelligent people do not care what she has to say.

I honestly wonder if she actually took economics 101

While its not a good thing, "printing" and spending massive amounts of money IS a way to get out of debt. The downside is inflation, but it can and does work.

I also find it funny that someone from the Big Brother faction of the Republican Party is crying about government wanting to "control the people". The folks most guilty of trying to control private lives complaining about government trying to control the people is simply comical to me.

Simple truth she speaks. Thank you Sarah. Now attack dogs go ahead with all your derogatory remarks about Palin. Russia may be looking pretty good from Alaska.

"We need to be aware of the creation of a fearful population, and fearful lawmakers, being led to believe that big government is the answer"

Sounds eerily like the "war on terror." Have a nice day!

So again I say.....where are your ideas? Any idea....just a little one?....something other than NO?

Say all you want Sarah, your party is still shrinking, no one is listening seriously and you still dont have a plan as a party.

So you dont have to 'sit down and shut up', Sarah.
But unless you have anything productive to say or to contribute to the way forward, then perhaps you may as well.

Just give us a plan...a new idea......something beyond tired rhetoric and pining for the Reagan era. No one in the GOP is doing this.

Until you do, no one is listening except the 18% of the country that says they are a republican.

Palin is irrelevant. What she has to say is irrelevent. She needs to do her job and pipe down!

Now she's sounding like right wing extremist groups

well if anyone knows "Speaking absolute nonsense" it would be Palin! She reads every magazine out there don't ya know!? i think you should clean house at home before preaching to the president as to how he should run OUR country!!

How did this woman get elected? Oh wait, hot chick in a state full of lonely outdoorsmen.

Add "New World Order Conspiracy Theorist" to the list of qualifications for this whack job.

Hey Sarah, sit down and shut up!

Correction Ms. Palin: the government wants to control the engines that drive our economy: financial institutions, health care, the automotive industry, and so forth. Next we'll have a "5 year plan" for productivity, comrade. For those of you who work...

well, she's right about attempted gov't control.

The clueless pathological liar lies again! Question, when bush was bankrupting this country rebuilding a foreign country where was all the outrage from the republicans? Now that President Obama is trying to rebuild this country why are the republicans so outraged??
