Palin a Middle Class House Wife Just Getting BY....PLEASE!

WINK WINK...I'm just LIKE YOU!

See article below from Huffington Post. Sarah Palin as an average American just GETTING BY! Does she think we do not fact check, is she even aware of her and her families own words in various limited public interviews? Remember her husband Todd's interview in front of the QUITE LAVISH family home? Earning over $250,000 a year makes her and her family AVERAGE MIDDLE CLASS AMERICANS? When was the last time the average American on Main Street earned a quarter of a million dollars in ONE YEAR? Her Dad owns a hardware store, her sister owns a gas station, her husband owns a fishing business, and thus presumably a VERY LARGE AND EXPENSIVE FISHING BOAT. Her words do NOT MATCH REALITY. Last but not least, she wants drilling on the North Slope...any one bother to check what interests the Palin family holds on the North Slope in light of the fact that her HUSBAND works for BP?

This defines being out of touch. On Hugh Hewitt's radio show, Sarah Palin calls herself "an everyday working class American" -- but the truth is that her family income is $250K and she owns five properties, two watercraft, and an airplane.

Here she was on Hewitt's show:

Todd and I, heck, we’re going through that right now even as we speak, which may put me again kind of on the outs of those Washington elite who don’t like the idea of just an everyday working class American running for such an office.

The Washington Times (who'd have thunk it?) puts the lie to her claim:

Their combined income of nearly a quarter-million dollars last year was five times the median household income for Wasilla's 7,000 residents. They own a single-engine plane, two boats, two personal watercraft and a half-million-dollar, custom-built home on a lake that is worth three times the average of other homes in town. For the future, they also have a 401(k) retirement account compliments of Todd Palin's years as an engineer with oil giant BP.

Just In From "The Hill"...Lobbyist Trying To FUCK HURTING MIDDLE CLASS

Just in from "The Hill" a disturbing news item. We all knew that the lobbyists would be combing the halls of Congress on behalf of their clients, trying to shape the Bailout, control who got what, and who gets tossed to the cutting room floor...well, lobbyist are trying to once again cut out the middleclass, punish those who have been hurt most in this mess...anyone holding a mortgage! Call your elected officials in Washington, DC now and tell them no help for the middleclass, no BAILOUT!

Lobbyists seek change to language

Lobbying on the rescue plan for Wall Street intensified Monday as the package moved to Congress, giving advocates another avenue to alter the language in ways favorable to their clients. Up to now, the actions to stem the financial calamity on Wall Street have been carried out by the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve, with little involvement from Capitol Hill. But the $700 billion plan to purchase bad debt from financial institutions and unclog credit markets requires Congress to act. The Bush administration urged lawmakers to pass a clean bill, but now there are more viewpoints that have to be considered. Some Democrats already indicated the package may not pass until next week — news that sent stock prices tumbling and stressed some business lobbyists. “If we don’t move quickly, we could be in the soup,” said Bruce Josten, the chief lobbyist of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Complicating lobbyists’ efforts was the difficulty of keeping track of all the various counterproposals to the administration’s bill. One financial services lobbyist said his group was keeping a flow chart to try to keep track of who on Capitol Hill was pushing what. “It ebbs and flows,” the lobbyist said. “It literally changes by the hour.” Added Josten: “I think every 10 minutes, something changes here. I think they are wrapped up in it. It’s hard to tell what’s in, what’s out.” One congressional reaction that emerged — Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd’s (D-Conn.) response to the rescue package — wasn’t favorable to many of K Street’s banking clients, who oppose one provision in particular: giving bankruptcy judges the power to lower mortgages for distressed homeowners. “We are vigorously opposing that,” said Steve Verdier, a lobbyist for the Independent Community Bankers Association (ICBA). “If that happens, then the mortgage rates for other consumers are going to go up.”
