The first with a good, bold idea is always looked at askance. Palin was courageously outspoken and didn't "play the games", which was disturbing to so many who do.
Wonder how many of her other ideas are simmering on Obama's back burner, preparing for implementation creatively, in such a way that only he can take credit for them.

Lets hope there are better ideas out there than Palin's or Mr President's.
LOL, I knew the news that that mean socialist Obama is privatizing two government agencies would make Cons' heads explode. I was wondering how they'd spin it against him. Thanks for providing the answer! It's quite a creative one, so you get a gold star.
I have worked for BOTH Fannie and Freddie in my career. Neither are "government agencies". They are publically traded corporations. They were only chartered by the government.

Ron Paul called for it years and years before Palin.

The right thing to do that never gets done is a bit of a waste.
Obama said he was against bringing lobbyists into his administration but as soon as he won he brought in lobbyists.
Are you saying it's O.K. to simply say the right things, that the actions don't matter?
The bailouts were highly unpopular.
Im saying the exact opposite but accept that politicians rarely do the right thing.
The bailouts were not unpopular. They were viewed as necessary evil. The threat of financial ruin scared Americans into believeing bailing out the banksters and allowing them to continue their practice of greed and extortion was our only choice.
When the taxpayer has to bailout the banksters again I hold little confidence the taxpayer will fight back.

Maybe you used the wrong word. Maybe you meant understand that they rarely do the right thing. I don't know why anyone would simply accept that they rarely do the right thing.

You forget the bail outs were initially voted down because of the complaints of the people. Even those who say they support it because of the politics argue against the very things it did.
Is there someone here that supports giving billions of dollars to Goldman Sachs?

Key words: "The threat of financial ruin scared Americans..." you are so right.
And who, but Obama, the Democrats and the media employed all those scare tactics to achieve their ends?
