Palin says she'd be honored to help Obama - CNN.com

The Alaska governor said in an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer that she would be willing to help if Obama asked her for assistance on some of the issues she highlighted during this year's campaign, such as energy or services for special-needs children.


Good for her! This is the way things should be. You rally around the guy that was elected and get over pettiness, and offer your assistance.

There is little likely hood that he would select her for anything though.

Ughhhhhh.......we are hearing more from the VP than the actual nominee. Why can't she keep a low profile?

Good for her!
I'm sure her vast knowledge would be a huge complement to the Obama administration. NOT!! Her ridiculing fruit fly research while advocating for children with special needs shows her 'expertise'. Having a child with special needs does not make you an expert. Her sister has a child with autism and Palin doesn't even know that fruit fly research correlates/complements with autism research. Geeze!

I doubt she is seeking out the interviews. I am sure the media goes to her. After all, people either LOVE her or HATE her. There seems to be no in-between. A lost of people see McCain as a take him or leave him kind of guy.

Palin makes for better news ratings.

I wholeheartedly believe she would be honored to **** my **** if it would get her ahead. Her idea for the future of the Republican party was something very akin to "not bieng the old party, being more about change and more about reaching across the aisle." That sounds amazingly like another compain that was ran this year. She truly is disgusting.

If anyone was really going to be honored to help the new administration and such, they would shelve the 2012 jockeying and get things done for the American people and their own constituents, at least maybe for the first year or two for Pete's sake... Instead, most politicians I see (especially repubs, and especially Palin) are spending their resources and time seeing how they can latch onto this wave and get themselves into position for later. Tell me how that's going to help me, my family, my neighbors, or you.

If she believe the lies she told about Obama during the campaign, I find it hard to imagine that she would be willing to work for him. Would she really want to pal around with someone who pals around with . . .

And in the same interview she says she would like to have more discussion about Bill Ayers, talking about burning bridges before you cross them.

Why would she want to work with the guy she referred to as an anti-American, terrorist? Maybe she owes him an apology.
