ST. LOUIS, Missouri (CNN) - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin blamed some of the U.S. financial crisis on Wall Street during the vice presidential debate.
"You darn right it was the predator lenders," said Palin. "There was greed and corruption on Wall Street."
Watch: Palin: Economy is hurting
Biden blamed some of the crisis on deregulation policies that John McCain believes in.
"He voted for deregulation and that is why we are in the crisis that we are in," said Biden.
From CNN Politics
- States can prosecute non-tribal members who commit crimes on Native American reservations, Supreme Court says
- Top 10 Credit Cards for Excellent Credit
- First on CNN: Environmental groups sue Biden administration over climate and wildlife impact of drilling lease sale
- Iran nuclear deal talks in Doha end without progress

It seems that Biden knew what the questions would be. Possibly given by the moderator. True Democrats covering each other.
this how she memorize everything.
economy : fanne freddy
foreing policy: Iran ,Iraq
everything else: what i did in Alaska
She is talking like she supports democratic policy instead of republican policy. Is she a democrat???
Bless Sarah's heart, her sequestered study time shows -- she's spitting out her rhetoric like a high school senior who memorized the prologue to "The Canterbury Tales" but doesn't really understand what they've read. Kegger after the party, Sarah
she can't even look at him with out cracking a smile because she knows that she has no answer and biden knows it !!! lol
I'm sorry, I don't want a soccer mom as the possible president. John McCain isn't getting any younger. That's "Darn Right".
She was coached well while in AZ. Go Joe six pack.
Democrats had a chance to fix Fannie mae in 2004 but no they just said the Republican's were racist for trying to fix the subprime mess then. You are probably like all the liberals I know who won't research anything just take what Pelosi says as gospel. Go to youtube and watch them them talking with Davis and Meeks.
Palin is good to watch when she is on the attack....
izman please I urge you to learn the facts
OMG...when she doesn't understand a topic, she doesn't come back with a response. She goes back to what she feels she is strong on. She is ducking and dodging a lot.
I am glad to CNN has just proved to me that they have a liberal bias.
Energy, she got shot down by Biden. Yes Obama voted for it becasue of reasons beyond the tax side. IT wasnt the best but it put for other ptions besides oil. Palin, it is about oil companies getting tax breaks and the little people not. Thanks for the ignorance.. it must struly be bliss.
Why is she talking about energy crisis when Biden is talking about Bankruptcy laws???
she is not answering the darn questions. Energy!...that's all she knows.
What's up with the "breathy" responses–does she think it makes her sexier? Also, how many times is hse going to bring up the "soccer mom" garbage? I agree–squawk, squawk, squawk. She doesn't want to argue–because seh doesn't know how!
TO IZMAN...
Alaska is a very very very small state in the way of things that have to be dealt with. I spent most of my life in Oregon and Washington and now I live in LA California, and Married a man from New York New York. It is like trying to compare daylight to the middle of the night.
Palin cannot respond to Joe Biden. She keeps going back to her script!!! I am terrified by the thought of her having to make important decisions for this country. I'm not sure about the benefits of being the governor of the only arctic state!!!! Does that give her unique insight?
She is talking like she is a democrat!! Very misleading
about what republican policy stands for!
It seemed like she totally tried not to answer and comment on McCain deregulating the financial market. Hm...I wonder WHY??
She's losing it. Can't keep her sentences coherent any longer.
Ecoiology is just Mother Nature it has nothing to do with man
give her a break she is trying her best
I would have to say Darn wrong on this one... We all contributed to this mess. Unfortuantley! I guess if we were told we could not afford the house or what ever we were buying & did not get approved this would be moot. But for the most part people know what they can afford. And I guess we just went with the bright shiny future...
She won't cry for herself so I will, girl you need to let it go and just quit talking!
