Sarah Palin in an interview with Bret Baier was asked if she would remove the oil subsidies to oil companies and the short of her answer was probably not. She says that the four billion that Obama is wanting to strip from the oil companies may not have that much impact on the large oil companies, but would affect the smaller independent explorers who Palin says we want out there with their resources extracting for oil:

You have to remember that President Obama – and I’m going to say this with all due respect to the office of the Presidency – he doesn’t know what he’s doing when it comes to energy. He does not know, as I just pointed out, that the four billion dollars that he thinks he’s gonna stick it to Exxon, BP, Conaco-Phillips that no, it’s going to be the independent producers, the explorers that we want out there creating jobs that are going to be hit with an end of subsidy. So we really have to take a hard look at that.

When asked if she’d vote to raise the debt ceiling (if she were in congress) she replied:

“Hells no! I would not vote to increase that debt ceiling. Otherwise it just shows the American public we’re not serious yet, we’re gonna incur more debt. No. And we don’t have to increase the debt ceiling in the next few weeks. It turns my stomach to hear this…”

They talk about much more including her analyzing potential candidates for President and where she currently is in making her decision.

Great interview. Enjoy!

    Politicians will play games with the debt crisis for the next 2 years until something breaks, and if does, that noise you would hear would be our economy collapsing.

    Remember the movie Mad Max? Well that might be a tame version of what we would have here..

    LTC Allen West will not be able to right the ship by himself, he will need the entire country behind him….. (assuming West runs for POTUS 2012)

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Dave-Kawasaki/1798183858 Dave Kawasaki

      That’s a HUGE assumption, since he says he won’t run in ’12. He has said if he is to be honored with higher office, he’d prefer Speaker, as we need fighters in Congress, not just the WH. FWIW, I’d vote for him as POTUS. Twice.

        I love West, but he doesn’t have this type of financial experience that Sarah has had. A great man of substance with fantastic potential, but he needs more government experience to be at Sarah’s level. It sounds like he is wise enough to understand this.

      • KC

        That was then until he came on Glenn Beck’s radio show on the 28th. Glenn Beck thrown him an off-speed curve-ball got’cha question at the very end with Allen West seemed to be a willing participant. Timing is everything in comedy,
        I think GB messed up AW on the timing for an ice cream and running for president.

        Q: “Do you like ice cream?” A: “Yes, not now”
        Q: “Will you run for president?: A: “Oooo…yes, and yes.

        And yes, it’s on tape, on the record, Col West is a man of his word, and I expect him’ll throw his hat in the ring (the country needs this man). But who will win the primary is anyone’s guess, and he outcome will then determine the presidential and the choice of VP candidate.

    • Norman Bates

      Listen I don’t know how many times West has said this is not his time. Now when a man with the integrity that he has, is not running believe him, his time is later.

      • sDee

        Sarah Palin and Allen West are two people I followed before they were on the national scene. (OK, OK I am a political geek but you have to admit these two stand out like pearls among swine!)

        Serving America in Congress is what Col. West wants to do and always intended to do. He is only one of a very small handful of true Americans in Congress – we need him there desperately.

        The game gets real ugly real fast when people like this strike the hearts of free Americans who have an innate sense of the threat of central government. Witness Goldwater, Reagan, Palin.

        Do you think Palin ever even contemplated resigning as governor? We will never know what evil the cabal pointed her way after their lawsuits did not stick. Who knows who stepped in to extract her.

        I remain confidence that as he forces this evil out in the open, Allen West, will continue to do the right thing.

    I’m with Sarah on the debt ceiling. If I max my credit card, I cannot just say, no problem, I’ll just raise it. I just don’t use it until the balance is paid down. The government should have at least as much common sense as I do. If not, we need all new government.

    • sDee

      That is because your credit card bill comes to your address. They send their bill to our addresses along with IRS goons to make sure we pay.

      They go to off to a cocktail party.

      • Persephone

        Good one!

        That’s exactly what they do.

  • sDee

    Always straight talk, to the people not the patrons. The elites greatly underestimate this woman.

    I love the way she always manages to get off a few on-target shots to elephant party.

    She is right pointing to Obama as the source of the high fuel prices – of course.

    She is wrong (or skillfully avoiding raw meat for the media), in saying he does not know what he is doing. Obama knows exactly what he is doing. “Skyrocketing” energy prices.

    All Obama does makes sense when viewed in the context of dismantling America.

  • Persephone

    She was being kind to Obama…he does know what he’s doing to us on energy.

    He wants us to be paying through the eyes to fill our tanks.
    That’s part of his plan to break us, and force us into his green-share-the-wealth-agenda.

    This was another great interview.
    Keep slugging, Sarah!

    • Anonymous

      Last time I filled up I was crying so hard it was just like paying through the eyes. Don’t be getting that salty stuff in yer tank though…not good…for anything but the soul…cuz sometimes, ya’ need a good cry. I felt better afterwards Perseph. When I perused by debit card statement though I cried again. Now I feel fabulouuuuuuus!

      • Persephone

        Be careful using your plastic at the pumps.
        The hackers are hungry, and they’ve figured out how to get our numbers out of them.
        I had my debit card number hacked out of a gas pump last year.

        It’s gotten to where I pretty much use only cash anymore…for anything.
        But if you’ve been credit-thefted as many times as I have, it makes you paranoid.

        Pirates!
        They’re everywhere.

        I was buying a bulk package of post-its the other day at Staples.
        The check-out guy looked at me sideways and said…”I can’t believe how expensive gas is getting now”.
        Now why would he say that?….I didn’t bring up the subject of gas prices.

        Hee heee.

        I think I need to start buying them at different places.
        Smaller packages too.

    Here is a little something courtesy of Dave Ramsey to help you get your head around the financial mess this country is in;”The federal government will take in $2.173 trillion in 2011. That’s their income, and it sounds pretty good. Until, that is, you factor in that the federal government will spend $3.818 trillion during the year. So, just like many families, the government’s outgo exceeds their income—to the tune of $1.645 trillion in overspending. That’s called the deficit. Altogether, the government has $14.2 trillion in debt.

    What would happen if John Q. Public and his wife called my show with these kinds of numbers? Here’s how their financial situation would stack up:

    If their household income was $55,000 per year, they’d actually be spending $96,500—$41,500 more than they made! That means they’re spending 175% of their annual income! So, in 2011 they’d add $41,500 of debt to their current credit card debt of $366,000!”

      I am glad Dave Ramsey jumped into this. His show is apolitical but by now, his listeners and readers have figured out this is about survival – not politics.

        Bit harsh to call Palin stupid, but I have to agre she’s not presidential. What is disheartening about Palin is how she’s limited herself to Fox news outlets and justifies it with her “lame-stream media” claim… which is a bit childish.

        If she wants to make a serious contention at the presidency, she’ll need to be less timid of news sources that don’t overtly cater to her base.

          Yes sir, I would agree if the media were like it was long ago. But we feel like the media has died and been replaced with advocacy groups. Now be honest, wouldn’t you want to stay away from those whose sole ambition is to destroy you, not to find out what you feel, what you know/don’t know , and what you believe, but to harm you. They’re suppose to neutral in interviews not “killers”.

  • Anonymous

    I’ve watched similar type interviews with the other ‘top tier’ presidential candidates over the last few days, and none of them are in Sarah Palin’s league. The last real leader of the people our country had spoke a lot like Sarah does here, but he’s been gone since ‘89.

    Kind and considerate…

    Why do I like Sarah Palin?

    She comments about Mitt Romney… Michele Bachmann… and

    …Donald Trump “… bless his heart.” (at 6min. 43sec.)

    Sarah does not suggest the Trump is a “chump” for taking the initiative regarding Obama’s heritage.

      ♥ Authentic and genuine inner virtues ♥ Classful, graceful and gracious towards her fellow potential candidates, she wants the best for her country.

      I take her at her word that just to become the POTUS, to quest for power and status is not her political goal and aspiration, but if, void of credible:-) (man-up-with-a-pair) leadership coming forth to lead, I hope she decides to run, win the primary race and onward to win the 2012 election with a strong running mate, or run as VP. Since 2008, Sarah Palin has broaden her political experience, grown in stature and sphere of influence as kingmaker, all of which fully equipped her to run in 2012. Most people still under estimate her except for the lefties. She’s not the same Sarah Palin that Bill’O interviewed in 2009::-) Oh boy, shell-shocked Bill”O got a taste of that,,, Boom! taste my night stick!

      In the history of American exceptionalism, there were many American-first moment of events. ipray that in Nov 2012, we may see “WH glass ceiling shattered” by “America’s First Madam President” (and the 1st dude).

    All I can say is Carter / Reagan 1979.

    And we ALL know just how THAT worked out thank God.

    The Leftwing nut LIBRATARDS know in their bones that Sarah Palin,…

    IS Ronald Reagan ALL OVER AGAIN. IT TERRIFIES them to no end.

    ESPECIALLY the ones who are OLD enough to remember Reagan.

    So they are trying with EVERY thing they have to,…

    destroy her in a pre-emptive strike.

    If you have heard her recent WI speech you understand.

    Sarah Palin REALLY IS the real deal.

    Not some pre-packaged made up configuration like their hero Barry.

    The Left senses this and has reacted like expected.

    IF she runs against barry in 2012,…

    She WILL CRUSH him with indisputable numbers.

    PALIN / BOLTON 2012

    Compared to barry she is Exactly what America will NEED to repair

    ALL of the damage wrought by the Dumb-O-cRATs and barry and his UNION masters.

    This is ONE MORE REASON America NEED’s Sarah Palin NOW more than EVER.

    And I can NOT stress this enough,…

    Sarah Palin IS ONE of the ONLY women IN the REPUBLICAN PARTY,…

    With the “B A L L S” to tell Barry and his UNION masters,…

    AND the Dumb-O-cRATs to SHOVE their agenda were the sun does NOT SHINE!!.
