Palin: American capitalism is ‘foreign to our president’
Source: RawReplay
By David Edwards

Former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin told the Fox Business Network Tuesday that President Barack Obama doesn’t understand the American way of doing business because of his “background.”

“The President is not capable of giving the right message to deal with the problem we are facing with the bankruptcy that’s facing America if we don’t start living within our means,” she said. “The right message is that growing more debt won’t get us out of debt, and raising taxes in a time of economic woes in a bad economy is a bad idea.”

“A lot of this has to do with his background, him having not been a part of the private sector and running a business or having to rely on making profit. That seems to be foreign to our President. His background and those he’s appointing don’t understand what America was built upon. His ideas are the antithesis of those things that created the prosperity in America.”

5. And what, exactly, was Lady Blah Blah's private sector experience?
Didn't she run a successful small business?

Well, no.

She was the mayor of Wasilla and the half-governor of Alaska.

15. Since when does Palin herself have a background or possess a degree in economics?
Not saying that President Obama does either, but he does have many advisors who do, Palin never really has had any, unless one counts her hubby Tawd, and most certainly doesn't now.

Start "living within our means" of course, meaning only those who are already being forced to, due to their lack of, or shrinking income, and dealing with the ever-increasing cost of living. So lurking behind her rhetoric and being the actual truth, is that she and those of her ilk, wish to place ALL of the responsibility upon those who are already shouldering more than their fair share. The so-called "job-creating/generating wealthy", the military/MIC, elected officials, and the global corpororate capitalists being completely excluded, of course...

16. For crying out loud
when working in public service Obama had to balance budgets and raise money. He worked before any of that too. What does that have to do with any thing about the governments borrowing power?

We're still paying off a little over $55,000. for the Revolutionary War, so we've always carried high debt...that's how countries run.

If he had run a business, she wouldn't be giving him any credit for it.
