What's the real question, it was ethical or she's presidential? I think what she did was right. There are going to be a lot more people needing that in the years to come. Presidential? I don't know. She's the same as she's always been.

Wow, she can't win no matter what she does. I think she should is setting a great example of how a Governor should care about their state. But naturally she has to be attacked no matter what she does.

What she did was deliver goods paid for by a charity (Samaritan's purse) for her own publicity. Sure it was nice but she got some good PR out of it for herself.

If she were acting "presidential" she would be working of state policies to help these people out in the long haul.

That is the way I see the situation.

Dear JennySquirrel, I agree with you very much and it is horrible how the MSM so far has not really been reporting this. They should report it endlessly like they endlessly try to report false negative things about her.

Sh*t they can't do that, they must attack attack attack so hopefully nobody believes she is a good person that cares about her state!
So that they continue to believe the lies about her and not the truths about obama!

Dear jojajn, are you seriously suggesting without even talking to Sarah Palin that her heart wasn't into it? She didn't invite the media, as we both know, the media just follow her around but all the good things that she does mysteriously has little to no reporting. However, things that can be made up on her is endlessly reported on.
Moreover, if you read the articles you will see that she is/has been planning to help those rural communities in the "long haul."

Dear Miborn, I agree with you. Their strategy is plain and simple, "attack attack attack" because they don't want nobody to believe she is a good person that cares about her state. In addition, they fear her because she can become a great American President. So they try to keep silent the truths that Sarah Palin speaks and her Presidential qualifications.

Guess she couldnt just go alone though - had to bring along someone who would be sure to keep Sarah in the news -

Gov. Sarah Palin joins Samaritan’s Purse President Franklin Graham to airlift food to remote villages

And, haha, Franklin Graham spins it as HIS trip that SP joined, not the other way around. LOL.
Samaritan’s Purse is airlifting tons of food to hundreds of Yup’ik Eskimo families who are struggling to survive an unusually harsh winter in the Alaskan wilderness.

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and state officials joined Samaritan’s Purse President Franklin Graham on Friday, Feb. 20, as our aircraft flew to the villages of Marshall and Russian Mission along the frozen Yukon River to deliver food to hundreds of families.
