Palin: I'm a 'Joe-six pack American'
SEDONA, Arizona (CNN) - Sarah Palin on Tuesday called herself a “Joe-six pack American” and said that her family has lost $20,000 in the stock market because of the financial meltdown on Wall Street.
Palin made the comments in a radio interview with conservative talker Hugh Hewitt while taking a break from debate prep at John McCain’s ranch in Sedona.
“I know what Americans are going through there,” Palin said on the radio show. “And you know, even today, Todd and I are looking at what’s going on in the stock market, the relatively low number of investments that we have, looking at the hit that we’re taking, probably $20,000 dollars last week in his 401K plan that was hit.
“I’m thinking, ‘Geez, the rest of America, they’re facing the exact same thing that we are. We understand what the problems are.’”

Hewitt asked Palin her reaction to the “extreme hostility” that she has faced from liberals.
“Oh, I think they’re just not used to someone coming in from the outside saying you know what? It’s time that a normal Joe six-pack American is finally represented in the position of vice presidency, and I think that that’s kind of taken some people off guard, and they’re out of sorts, and they’re ticked off about it,” she said.

"Geez," I wish she would shut up and go away.
Obama/Biden 2008
She said Joe six-pack American!! SHE RELATES TO ME!!!
Give me a break.
Joe six-pack American? That's like McCain or Clinton calling themelves a young Harvard-educated African American.
Sorry Sarah, you lose. Yet again.
omg, she doesn't get it, does she???? Us horrible liberals don't have anything against you, Sarah, EXCEPT YOU ARE NOT QUALIFED TO BE VP!! By the way, have you seen my car going around Sedona with the Obama signs in the window?
I personally don't want anyone like me as VP and I'm pretty smart and accomplished. Its been a hard 8 years feeling like I'm smarter than my president. I don't feel liek going through that again.
Or they recognize she's more a joke than Dan Quayle. She seems like a decent person but hardly ready to lead the country.
Yeah thats what we need a DRUNK in the WHITE HOUSE , AMERICA WE WENT THAT ROUTE 8YRS AGO , HOWS THAT WORKING OUT FOR YA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think the operative word here is 'normal'. There is NOTHING normal about you Sarah. You are a farce and just remember there will be checks and counter-checks to make sure you are not wired for sound on thursday.
As the saying goes, I think she's one beer short of a six-pack.
she's a boob, a total boob
Most people can't lose $20,000 in a 401K because they don't have it!! The average American can't invest a dime in anything except their monthly housing payment. Palin is richer than Joe Biden anyway....he's the true "Joe six pack"!
Oh, now she's Joe Biden.
Thanks, but no thanks, Ms. Palin.
You might understand what the problems are, but you have no inkling of the answers.
The only thing that took me off guard is every dumb word that came out of your mouth Palin
I'm not sure if Larry the Cable Guy's wife is exactly Veep material, y'know?
If she means that like a can of beer, she's intellect -free, I agree.Unfortunately she's not trying out for a beer commercial . She's running for the most important job in America( sooner or later). Sarah is not presidential or vice-presidential material. Period.
Oh, I think they’re just not used to someone coming in from the outside saying you know what? It’s time that a normal Joe six-pack American is finally represented in the position of vice presidency, and I think that that’s kind of taken some people off guard, and they’re out of sorts, and they’re ticked off about it,” she said.
Come on! Is this the best Palin really can do? Please lady can you talk in complete sentents.
Is she serious. Maybe she should have asked to use her lifeline.
I thought she was female. How about Josephine or she is referring to Joe Biden being VP???
I have no words. The scary thing about her is she really takes herself seriously.
Great Job Sarah!
She's a moron.
Joe-six pack American – What the hell is that phase support to mean? This woman is a realy joke.
Sarah Palin is frightening! I definitely would consider moving to another country for the 'safety' of my family if she and McCain are elected. A scary thought!
You gotta be freakin' kidding me. I've read her total net worth exceed 10M. Who is she kidding?
Does anyone actually believe this garbage?
ummmm, I doubt that "Joe Six-Pack" has $20,000 invested on Wall Street that he/she COULD lose, or stand to lose. There was an article today on CNN that said that Palin and her family pretty much live the high life in comparison to Wasila residents in general. Give it up, Sarah, you are neither coherent nor believable in this effort.
OBAMA/BIDEN '08 & '12 YES WE CAN!!
