Delegates walk out 'in disgust' at Palin speech
http://rawstory.com/blog/2009/09/delegates-walk-out-at-palin-speech/

Questions are prearranged; 'It was awful,' one US delegate says

HONG KONG — Former US vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin said the US government was wasting taxpayers' money and could aggravate poverty, said delegates at her first speech outside North America on Wednesday.

Palin, the former governor of Alaska, gave hundreds of financial big-hitters at the CLSA Investors' Forum in Hong Kong a wide-ranging speech that covered Alaska, international terrorism, US economic policy and trade with China.

Her performance, which was closed to the media, divided opinion.

2. She is completely full of shit...
This part of the article sums it it nicely: "As fund managers we want to hear about the United States as a whole, not just about Alaska. And she criticized Obama a lot but offered no solutions."

Typical puke for you, all mouth and no brains.

4. Her performance divided opinion?
Yes, she's an extremely divisive person, entrenched in an extremist ideology. I doubt that she made any appeals to unity on the part of the people of the planet for action for the common good.
