How can Sarah Palin accuse Obama of wanting to make the government larger and spend more money?

Question

Has she not been paying attention these last 8 years? Thanks to Reagan, Bush I and Bush II, the debt has spiraled to 9 trillion dollars and created and expanded all sorts of government agencies. How can anyone who has been paying attention buy what she's selling?

Answer 1

Because she thinks he is a Reagan Republican.

"What does a VP do by the way"?

Answer 2

There is only one way for Obama to be be successful if he become President - TAX and SPEND.  To do that he needs to increase government.  Look it up, that is how it works.   Fortunately, Obama's plans are as empty as his resume and Palin's speech decimated any hopes of him getting elected.

Answer 3

My question to everyone else is - All the democrat seem to believe that everything under the sun is bush's fault but A president doesn't pass laws the congress does and the budget is approved by the congress. Now given that our congress has democratic majority how is they have no fault in this? Lets be honest even when come to things like abortion and changing the an amendment to the Constitution, it is the congress that has to vote and change that.   Congress has to approve the judges that the president give as his pick for the supreme court.  The theme her is that the presidents job is to protect us. that is the executive branches main job. it s the congress job to set the laws of our country yet its always to the president somethingg goes wrong.  that in my opinion make the president more the congress's scape goat. just remember when you blame bush for the last eight years that for the last two year there was democratic majority and what did they get fixed - pretty much nothing.  Our economy is going through a cycle just like anything else and is getting better slowly but surely and if we help it by lowering taxes and giving small business more break it will only get better. Yes go ahead vote for Obama who will raise taxes and see it tank. I don't care what people say if he raises taxes and make businesses pay who do you really think pays in the end? Its a fact businesses pass their costs on to the consumer and no law can stop that. We need to stop spending which mccain will do, and start reducing government.  Palin did a very good job of delivering her speech and I look forward to hearing the debates and getting a better idea of what both canidate represent. Keep in mind the power of congress is very important to remeber as well.  

Answer 4

I don't know.  She must have missed the largest expansion of government in US history under Bush.

Answer 5

Dont take anything she says seriously,

She doesnt know what is going on, unless the McCain speech writers write something up for her to read again

I dont know who else but republicans can give us a 9 trillion dollar debt, 2 wars we CANNOT win, spend billions of dollars a day, give tax cuts to the rich, destroy the housing market, ruin our economy and lie to us constantly, (etc)

AND ask us to elect another republican? These are the same people who brought us BUSH, TWICEEEEEEEEEE and told us all it was a good idea,

Well, I dont think the american people will fall for that again, the repubs are living in a fantasy land they take no responsibility for their actions ever

No wonder Obama is ahead and on a steady increase in the polls
