Why br just diappointed that taxpayers have to bail out another one??  We are all disappointed with the whole financial fix our leaders at the helm of this country have gotten us into with deregulation or not regulation to protect American's going back to the housing meltdown.  So what would she have done instead of a bail out, sold them on Ebay??  Even I get it, if AIG, fanny mae and feddie mac were allowed to go UNDER, that would have devastated results of the USA and WORLD financial markets and the economy.  The recession that we are in right now would be a understatement if these institutions had been allowed to falter.  So again what would Palin have done instead besides complaining about being disapointed?

It doesn't matter what Palin thinks about anything. Conservatives would not let McCain pick Liberman for VP. Now Liberman will have more power in the adminstration then Palin and the conservatives can't see it coming. That's called stepping in your own stuff.

Clueless and scary...
Does Sarah have any clue that in 1999 McCain supported a bill by Phil Gramm to lift regulations on banks and insurance companies (The Gramm Leach Bliley Act)that had been put in place since the great depression?  Does she have any idea that in 2002 McCain personally introduced a bill to futher deregulate finacial institutions form government interfercence?  Does she realize that by removing this government oversight of Lehmans, AIG, Merril, Bear, etc, etc, allowed these companies to write and insure the bad loans that have put them out of business today.  Does she realize that as recent as March McCain called himself the deregulator and that 'I am always for further deregualation of financial institutions.'  Does she realize that yesterday McCain stated that the government should NOT bail out AIG as he has no idea what the true ramifications would have been to allow AIG to fold.
Did the republican party really have a Disney view of Wall Street and not realize that CEO's are not looking out for their shareholders but themseleves.  Now McCain is acting life a tough guy stating that these were bad men...no kidding, everybody has knowen that since the great depression, thus the reason for regulation.  Obviously Sarah knew none of this our she would not open her mouth.  Her running mate caused these problems that she is very sorry about.
Keep talking, you will make the case for voters to note vote for McCain.

Remember McCain's campaign edict: Palin will speak w/the press when they treat her with deference & respect.  The moment they ask a real question, the campaign will cry "sexist".  She may not have been vetted,  but their strategy to blame the media and keep her in seclusion through the honeymoon & early voting is pretty smart... while the crowd goes wild.

The regulations were put in place after the crash of '29.  With deregulation are we setting ourselves up for the crash of '09?

I'm disappointed too. I'm tired of bailing out people that have taken unreasonable risks and have choosen to fail in life.

I don't personally care if Sara P. is disappointed in the bailout. I do care that if she and McCain are elected the US and the world are on a tumultuous ride down into a much deeper black hole. These two have no business running a country in economic peril and at risk of anihilation of democratic values (do you actually think they will restore habeus corpus?). Need an example? http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/17/opinion/17dowd.html?_r=1&oref=slogin
We need big thinkers, world thinkers. These two are not either, they would truly be the third term of Bush. I listened to Palin speak last week and it was like listening to a female version of George W. The US needs better than that. The scariest thing to me is that the country is so very polarized, as evidenced in the various posts here. McCain/Palin will not solve this problem, they will promote it even more. America needs a way to heal, a way to come together. Look at the big picutre. Stop the smallness, think on a larger scale. Obama and Biden may not have all the answers but they have surrounded themselves with some of the best advisers in their fields, world thinkers.  They listen and seek out best advice. Think people, wake up!! We have wasted much too much precious time.

Looks like she got a really hard question. W.O.W. what an insightful response.

Poor pathetic Sarah.  Anyone else wonder what would have happened if the Republicans HAD been allowed to privatize Social Sercurity?

And Kyd70SC, you think these failures aren't going to affect you?  Just wait and see.

Norma, Minneapolis MN,  you get my vote for funniest comment of the day.  Really, thanks for the chuckle.

Now all of you at MSNBC...go ask that bimbo Sarah some REAL questions.

Palin can not give a response on how to handle the crisis because she has not been given it by McCain. Of course McCain is like Kevin Bacon in"Animal House" as he is being run over by the mob. " All is well do not panic all is well". McCain Palin Change for Changes sake.

Would a McPalin supporter please explain something to me.  What lessons did John McCain learn from the savings and loan debacle of the late 80s, where unregulated lending practices caused a financial industry to plummet requiring a massive taxpayer financed bail out?  McCain, of course, was involved in this, he was 20% of the Keating Five.  So I repeat - What lessons did McCain learn to make sure something like this never repeats? Because, it just did.
