Palin: Obama’s fiscal policies are designed to “control the people”

Audio here. It’s only 15 minutes long and kicks off with a salute to the Gipper (she was introducing his son Michael), but stick with the middle third if you’re only interested in the economic stuff. A bit rambly, but Palinistas would say that’s all part of the charm.
“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,” she said. “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.”
“Some in Washington would approach our economic woes in ways that absolutely defy Economics 101, and they fly in the face of principles, providing opportunity for industrious Americans to succeed or to fail on their own accord,” she said. “Those principles it makes you wonder what the heck some in Washington are trying to accomplish here.”
The sacred name of The One is never uttered, but given his burning desire to control the people by nationalizing their medical care, it’s clear enough whom she has in mind when she refers to “some in Washington.” Or is it?

Thanks for posting, but let’s not give the Communist News Network traffic. They only posted what they wanted to. There’s MUCH more of interest in the speech.

Sing it loud and proud,sister SaraCuda!
canopfor on June 4, 2009 at 7:40 PM
Damn, I love this woman!
It seems like our brave and delicious Arctic Fox is making a habit of tweaking the Messiah’s ego. She is the only one with courage and character enough outside of talk radio to actually highlight and challenge his stupid and reckless policies..
I really think she will be the one in 2012.
Be careful Barry, this Barracuda bites! YEAH BABY!
OlympicLeprechaun on June 4, 2009 at 7:40 PM
Typical of the ‘Cuda:
“Screw political correctness.”
“Never, never do we have to apologize for being proud of our country.”
“We win; they lose.” (using a Ronald Reagan to refer to Iraq)
“Unless your state is ready to chuck the 10th Amendment and you’re going to hand over willingly more power and control to a big centralized government and DC politicians who will tell you what to do in your state…the warning was be careful with the temptation with the stimulus dollars…”
“It’s in God we trust and not in big government we trust.”

I LOVE THIS WOMAN!!!!!!
alexraye on June 4, 2009 at 7:42 PM
It’s about time she speaks out. Time to reclaim the intellectual debate.
therightscoop on June 4, 2009 at 7:42 PM
So, AP, still think she’s going to sit out 2012? This was as red-meaty as it can be, introducing Michael, but I’d expect a few interesting soundbites out of her NY trip too.

Sarah Palin: More balls than half the GOP.
bluelightbrigade on June 4, 2009 at 7:44 PM
BOY, DID THOSE ‘CUDA CLAWS COME OUT!
Uninhibited and unafraid, this woman is beyond fabulous.
seaplanes on June 4, 2009 at 7:44 PM
she is right, and if no one in the gop is willing to land a body blow to Obama, more power to her.
rob verdi on June 4, 2009 at 7:44 PM
America on her knees as a ruined socialist state paying back reparations? Just a guess.
Branch Rickey on June 4, 2009 at 7:45 PM
Record deficits? No big deal. Double digit unemployment? We’ll deal with it. Nationalizing major industries? It’s only temporary. Projecting weakness to our enemies? Hey, maybe they’ll like us more. Sarah Palin? SHE’S SCARY!
ardenenoch on June 4, 2009 at 7:49 PM
Even though the audio was bad, the speech was good.
I don’t think I qualify as a Palinista, but I do love the way she speaks.
I think she has the best opportunity to talk to average voters about the government debt and out of control growth of the federal government. All the GOP players should be doing this, of course, but Palin does it exceptionally well. Let Mitt and others do the tv interviews and let Palin talk to the people.
myrenovations on June 4, 2009 at 7:50 PM
She’s talking about the whole junta holding power, of which The Precedent is but the leader with the skin that deflects criticism, all on its own. Without his skin, none of this could have happened.
progressoverpeace on June 4, 2009 at 7:50 PM
SarahCuda needs to be on the 2012 ticket!
Somehow,someway,and appeal to the women

whats at stake with the Obamaination!!
Its the women running the households,that
are feeling the affects of Obamaination!
And yes,I’m not leaving out the single dads

Back in the cold war – my submarine ran aground – and man, that was scary – we even had “bad guys” out blasting sonar looking for us (we were far from friends).
But we were stuck in the mud hard. Each time we threw propulsion into the screw – it’d “chug” a few times like it was going to free us but then it’d start cavitating – no go.
Finally – on one of the attempts, the screw “bit” and we came rocketing off that muddy, gravel bottom like it was nobody’s business. See ya later bad guys!
I think the GOP comeback is going to be like that. A few “chugs” and false starts … then the screw’ll “bite”.
Good to see the ‘cuda out there throwing some steam to the power plant.
HondaV65 on June 4, 2009 at 7:52 PM
I totally agree.
If only she could speak more often to the Lower 48 without the ankle-biters throwing ethics complaints at her, or telling her she’s turning her back on AK by leaving.
seaplanes on June 4, 2009 at 7:52 PM
Bravo, Sarah. This fantastic politician is brave in putting her cogent analysis right out there for the state-controlled news media to barf over. Eff ‘em.
Sarah is the Reformer. Teh One and Axelrod started sweating the minute she hit the national stage. Unlike Obama, Sarah Palin is a successful reformer and politician who works without background thugs and foot soldiers. She’s successfully balanced a budget. She accepts criticism, fair or otherwise, that Obama could never imagine in his wildest dreams.
It’s mid-terms, everyone, mid-terms. Vote OUT the one-party rule that helps this tyrant with his marxist destructive self-promoting agenda.
Vermont Neighbor on June 4, 2009 at 7:52 PM
I hear the Hoosiers are not giving up on suing over the whole Chrysler thing. The Governor here thinks that controlling things is just what all this is about.

I had 2 make a prediction this early on but barring some huge event I think the primary for 2012 is going to be Palin vs. Romney.

If Sarah runs she will be in the final two; Mitt, Huck or somebody else will be her main opponent in the 2012 primaries.

Sarah Palin speaks for me. And Dick Cheney? Absolutely! Rush Limbaugh, too. Give him hell, guys. And keep the pressure on. We need the GOP to follow their lead. We know what play-nice moderate politics did last election.
Vermont Neighbor on June 4, 2009 at 8:04 PM
kinda?
BPD on June 4, 2009 at 8:04 PM
Yep. It is still far off and so much can change. But so far those are the people that are sticking their heads out and obviously they are doing so for a reason.

The perfect team…100% PRO-AMERICAN!
christene on June 4, 2009 at 8:04 PM
The speech basically outlines this populist/outsider messaging approach on her part. Look for the buzz words “republican” to be left out of her vocabulary for “conservative” “individual” when she starts campaigning.
I am sure she is politically savvy enough to understand that she needs to improve her craft on many areas. This is why she shouldn’t run for reelection so she can have enough time to address these issues.
This Anti Washington figure hopes that all the right factors come to fruition in 2011…
Don’t be surprised if you see these same sentiments in her book.
TimeTraveler on June 4, 2009 at 8:04 PM
It is about controlling the people. It hasn’t hit the media much yet, but most of southern California’s inland farmers are SOL as of a ruling today that only gives the 300,000 ac-ft of water. The more the government gets into our business structure the less control (and freedom) we have.
Thank you Sarah for saying it like it is.

Building her credentials brick by brick.
Imagine Couric foaming at the mouth watching this. She could never muster such words.
I agree with those above – wait till she gets serious.
Until then, comrades, keep the faith.

Why Government Can’t Run a Business
Politicians need headlines. Executives need profits
The Obama administration is bent on becoming a major player in — if not taking over entirely — America’s health-care, automobile and banking industries. Before that happens, it might be a good idea to look at the government’s track record in running economic enterprises. It is terrible.
In 1913, for instance, thinking it was being overcharged by the steel companies for armor plate for warships, the federal government decided to build its own plant. It estimated that a plant with a 10,000-ton annual capacity could produce armor plate for only 70% of what the steel companies charged.
When the plant was finally finished, however — three years after World War I had ended — it was millions over budget and able to produce armor plate only at twice what the steel companies charged. It produced one batch and then shut down, never to reopen.

thecountofincognito on June 4, 2009 at 8:24 PM
Sarah walked into the valley
With the truth clutched in her hand
She was only a girl
But she knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail
Never hold back your step for a moment
Never doubt that your courage will grow
Yes, it’s higher and higher
As up against the tyrant you go

Sarah may have her ‘Barbie’ moments, but then she goes and does something like this. Ten kinds of awesome with a capital A.
Dark-Star on June 4, 2009 at 8:46 PM
Who doesn’t have the barbi moment?
upinak on June 4, 2009 at 8:55 PM
Sarah only has Barbie moments because she is the only female pol out there that actually looks like a Barbie doll (sigh). Most of her critics who tage her with that label are only jealous because they resemble Cabbage Patch dolls.
OlympicLeprechaun on June 4, 2009 at 8:56 PM
If they both speak like she just did, I don’t care really who is VP or who is POTUS.

Yes. I can see Romney being Bush 41.
Ted Torgerson on June 4, 2009 at 9:14 PM

LibTired (KO) on June 4, 2009 at 9:15 PM
Sarah for sure.
I wonder if she can be convinced to talk Sheriff Arpaio into running Homeland Security?
LooseCannon on June 4, 2009 at 9:18 PM
Funny. The “V is for Vendetta” film makers were all about the evil Bush presidency and it’s reach for fascistic-type power.
This scene now looks like an Axelrod / Emmanuel / State Run Media tactic!
cranbone on June 4, 2009 at 9:18 PM
Yeah, it’s too early to say at this point. But the one that wins the base this time around will win. Let’s see, who has a better chance of doing that…Palin or Romney…hmmm, that’s a toughie. ;)
ddrintn on June 4, 2009 at 9:19 PM
The whole, stinking, craven lot of ‘em.
ddrintn on June 4, 2009 at 9:32 PM
During a 17 minute speech Sarah addresses:
1) political correctness
2)there is no need to abandon Reagan conservatism
3)criticizing Obama for his ‘apology tour’
4)Washington taking away the freedom of Americans
5)Why she would be a great CIC:
“We win; they lose.” (Ronald Reagan)
6)mocking Obama’s devastating economic policies
7)alluding to the narcissism of Obama and his followers
8)linking the destruction of the economic properity of America and Americans as immoral and the product of misguided socialist policies
9)upholding the 10th Amendment and the danger of the stimulus package to states rights
10)the feds will be bailing out state governments in debt
11)affirmation of God and not the power of government
12)state-owned media
13)willingness to sacrifice her career to speak out
14)slamming politicians who only care about getting re-elected
Quite a bit for only a 17 minute speech

shomegirl on June 4, 2009 at 9:12 PM
So true, if there’s one thing Romney’s life isn’t filled with, its accomplishments… /s
Anyway, not wanting to get into a flame war here, nice speech by Palin.
thecountofincognito on June 4, 2009 at 9:47 PM
A modicum of alteration for veracity.
daesleeper on June 4, 2009 at 9:56 PM
How great Sarah is when she is unleashed ! She hasn’t quit fighting. Now if only Mccain, Cantor and the rest of the kumbaya gang knew this and started fighting Obama.
PS: This is for the fellow barbarians. For some reason, I can’t comment on C4P. I’ve been trying for hours. Are you having problems too?
promachus on June 4, 2009 at 10:10 PM
I see the outlines for a National Campaign in this speech. The Palin Philosophy summed up in 17 mins. You can tell she get it. She know the book and I am not talking the good bk.
“Screw Political Correctness” (Gov Palin 6-3-09.)
Clyde5445 on June 4, 2009 at 10:16 PM
If Palin runs and wins, it would be another “historic” presidency.
Who here wants to bet the MSM will NOT refer to everything she does as historic? Yet Obama farts and the MSM is there to record the historic moment.

when Hill won the NH primary she was the first woman in America to ever win a presidential primary and they didnt mention it, they were revved up off anti Hillary hate the neo progs and then turned on Sarah and her family, it was the second round of insane hate against an intelligent woman from our much vaunted liberal media and the NOW groups did jack shxt, NARAL endorsed Obama, it really shocked me.. I cannot tell you how many thousands of people stopped giving to those organizations and I know so many (Dems I mean) who support Sarah, not because she is a woman per se, but I certainly celebrate a real person speaking for real people, and I will definitely celebrate Sarah’s accomplishments :0), long winded way of my saying, you are so right
