Report offers harsh findings on Palin in troopergate
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The chief investigator of a legislative panel in Alaska has concluded that Gov. Sarah Palin unlawfully abused her power by trying to have her former brother-in-law fired as a state trooper.
The politically charged inquiry imperiled her reputation as a reformer on John McCain's Republican ticket. Investigator Stephen Branchflower, in a report to a bipartisan panel that looked into the matter, found Palin in violation of a state ethics law that prohibits public officials from using their office for personal gain.

Comment: John McCain is a good man, who's gotten carried away by ambition. I think his conscience is bothering him now, and makes him more appealing, and more the man I know him to be.
Sarah Palin may be smart, but she's not who you think she is. Sarah Palin is a traitor to America and to her party.

IT WAS A PERFECT STORM OF BAD JUDGEMENT, GREED AND IRRESPONSIBLITY THAT CREATED THIS ECONOMIC MESS.
And the players are:
Obama, pelosi, reid and Acorn pushed to relaxed lending rules for low income borrowers to buy bigger houses then they can afford. The bad judgement was too enticing for anyone to resist???.the wild buying drove prices up!
Banks got greedy and went along with the relaxed and risky loans thinking fannie and freddie will back the morgages and the Dems that promoted the lending will insure their risks.
Borrowers went wild and shelf their responsibilites while betting for great equity returns.
All were wrong! thus created this massive economic mess.
All these players bad judgement, greed and irresponsibility combined took hostage of the US economy. The tax payers was then forced to pay the ransom.
But with all hostage situations, there is no guarantee that our loved one???or in this case our economy will be returned dead, alive or injured?
Obama used the term hoodwinked the other day???..perhaps, the hoodwinking was indeed his greatest judgement that has not been told.
Sad thing is???..Obama, Pelosi, Reid and Acorn sold low income americans a dream for 6 years??????however, they never bother to hightlight the small prints noting that it was indeed ???Broken Dreams??? they were selling. Now, they are selling us ???Change???, i???ve learned to read the small prints and it is indicating that it is indeed ???bad change???!
I urge all voters to trust but verify??????..this is not a time to sell your vote for a lemon!
