Wino Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 HONG KONG — Former U.S. vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, criticized for her lack of foreign policy experience, emerged in Asia on Wednesday to share her views from "Main Street U.S.A." with a group of high-flying global investors. In her first trip to the region, the former Alaska governor addressed an annual conference of investors in Hong Kong in what was billed as a wide-ranging talk about governance, economics and U.S. and Asian affairs. Two US delegates left early, according to AFP, with one saying "it was awful, we couldn't stand it any longer." He declined to be identified. "I'm going to call it like I see it and I will share with you candidly a view right from Main Street, Main Street U.S.A.," Palin told a room full of asset managers and other finance professionals, according to a video of part of the speech obtained by The Associated Press. "And how perhaps my view of Main Street ... how that affects you and your business." Palin spoke out against government intervention in the economy. "We got into this mess because of government interference in the first place," Palin said, according to the Wall Street Journal. "We're not interested in government fixes, we're interested in freedom," she added. She also praised the conservative economic policies of former U.S. President Ronald Reagan and former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, according to another attendee who declined to be named because he didn't want to be seen as speaking on behalf of his company. She claimed that if taxes were cut and the capital gains tax and estate tax eliminated, the world would "watch the U.S. economy roar back to life." Palin argued that many average Americans are uncomfortable with health care reforms that infringe on private enterprise, Chris Palmer, an American fund manager for Gartmore Investment Ltd., told reporters.

Bob Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 It's amazing to me that anyone would actually pay money to hear this woman speak. Hell, I'd pay money if she'd just go back home and watch Russia for us from her porch. You betcha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaifan Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Governance, Economics, US and Asian Affairs? All sounds a bit beyond this particular lady! She should go back to being a Mom but then she didn't do a very good job of that either did she? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoker Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I can already chart her career path. As soon as Glenn Beck or O'Reilly get caught with a dude in a bathroom stall and get fired, she'll be hired to replace them and make millions talking shit on Fox News. Then, when she gets caught having banged Levi Johnson, she'll quit, penthouse will pay her $5 million for a pictoral spread and she'll start charging $500 an hour at The Bunny Ranch in Nevada.

That is a very good scenario for Sarah. A much better scenario than running for President of the United States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smoker Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Get within 5 feet of any female member of the Palin family and they may have your children. This seems to apply to the Spears family as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
