Palin slammed Barack Obama, calling him disqualified to be President of the United States: “Some of his comments that he has made about the war that I think may in my world disqualifies someone from consideration as the next commander in chief.” Palin said, “Some of his comments about Afghanistan and what we are doing there supposedly– just air raiding villages and killing civilians. That’s reckless. So I wanted to talk about things like that. So I guess I have to apologize about being a little annoyed, but that is also an indication of being outside that Washington elite and being outside the media elite also and just wanting to talk and just wanting to talk to Americans without the filter and let them know what we stand for.”
- Palin Disagrees With Michigan Pullout, Takes Second Stab at ‘Gotcha’ Questions
Sarah Palin, in an interview with FOX News, disagreed Friday with the McCain campaign’s decision to pull out of Michigan.
- Palin spoke with FOX News just hours after finishing her first and only debate with Biden. She said she “had a ball” and thought it went well.
She also tried to explain her shaky performance during interviews with CBS News’ Katie Couric over the past week.
- “The Sarah Palin in those interviews was a little bit annoyed because no matter what you say you’re gonna get clobbered,” she said.
- Asked by Couric to name the periodicals she reads, Palin repeatedly declined. She also would not name any Supreme Court decisions she disagreed with, other than the Roe v. Wade abortion ruling.
- Palin told FOX News on Friday that she reads the same newspapers and magazines as everyone else, “including The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal and The Economist.”
- She said she “shouldn’t have been so flippant” on the Supreme Court question. “I can cite a lot of cases that I absolutely disagree with the Supreme Court on.”
- She cited the June decision that child rapists cannot be executed, as well as the 2005 decision that local governments can seize private land for purposes of economic development.
- Asked about claims that she was being sequestered and over-managed by McCain staffers over the past week, she said: “Well I beg to differ with the notion that I was reined in in any way, but if there was any of that, it’s over.”
