I waited for tonight to watch and hear Gov. Sarah Palin and at least get to know her. Well, expectedly what I heard were jabs. So, I guess, I will have to do a lot of research and reading about this woman. Here were the jabs she said tonight:
- “I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a `community organizer,’ except that you have actual responsibilities,” she said, a reference to Obama’s stint as a community organizer.
- “I might add that in small towns we don’t quite know what to make of a candidate who lavishes praise on working people when they are listening and then talks about how bitterly they cling to their religion and guns when those people aren’t,” she said. A reference to Obama’s springtime observation about some frustrated working-class Americans.
- “In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers,” she said in another cutting reference to Obama’s campaign theme. “And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change.”
Palin also jabbed at the news media, which have raised convention week questions about her background and her family. - “Here’s little news flash for all those reporters and commentators: I’m not going to Washington to seek their good opinion — I’m going to Washington to serve the people of this country.”
Truth is, Gov. Palin and Sen. Obama do not have extensive experience in government. This was according to Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania told reporters. He said she has potential, and judged Obama a “political phenomenon, no doubt about it.
