Palin Doesn't Get That We're In Economic Trouble

I just watched CNN's Drew Griffin's interview with Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and I've got to briefly share that she doesn't get the economic problem we're in.

On the matter of the Bailout plan and our financial problems, Palin fears that it would be used as a reason to "spend" and to have "big government" and that the "private sector" would be forgotten.

Man.

Memo to Governor Palin: it was the private sector that created the problem we're in.

Geez.

The Stanford Roundtable - What Makes A Great Leader?

 
YouTube featured this video that's over 90 minutes long, but worth every minute of it. It's of a speaker conversation held at Stanford University's Maples Pavilion called "The Stanford Roundtable" and featured Historian David Kennedy, professor emeritus, Kavita Ramdas, CEO Global Fund for Women, U.S. Rep. Xavier Becerra, D-Los Angeles, Stanford President John Hennessy, Associate Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, Carly Fiorina, former head of HP, and Jeff Raikes, CEO of the Gates Foundation.

Inspite of the fact that Florina represents the McCain / Palin campaign and Anthony Kennedy is a conservative Supreme Court Justice, the event was not partisan.  It was essentially about what great leaders are and what we need as a leader in the next President of The United States.

Sen. Hillary Clinton Introduces Al Franken For Senator - Minnesota

The full speech of Senator Hillary Clinton introducing Al Franken. who's running for Senator in Minnesota, isn't online yet, but it should be -- Franken and Clinton gave great speeches.

Franken's taking on Republican incumbent Norm Coleman and is ahead in a poll Rassumsen conducted on October 9th, 43 percent to 37 percent. A more recent poll by the Minn Times Star Tribune has him at 3 points, 39 percent to 36 percent.

None of this has reduced the sense of humor of Franken. At today's rally, after a rousing speech by Senator Clinton, Franken took the podium and said "When we decided to run for Senate, Franni (his wife) and I, I said, "And Franni, I'm going to be the Senator," then turned to Clinton with a wry smile.

It was pretty funny to me, though I'm not sure Clinton got the full "yuk" out of it.

Oh well.

This is undoubtedly hard to watch, at least for me. Then again, I just discovered "Terry Take" more myself today. In this video he tackles -- I mean tackles -- Sarah Palin just as she's being interviewed by CBS News' Katie Couric.
