Palin speech draws full house

[tinydancer]

Former Governor Palin appears to have been well received.:dance: Worst criticism I found in the article is that the speech bordered on boring to one gentleman.

Palin spoke to a full house in the main ballroom of Hong Kong’s Grand Hyatt hotel shortly after 12:30 p.m. local time.

Reporters were kept out by tight security at the investor forum organized by CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets.

Go Sarah.

More at link. I do find it hysterical that Palin gets criticized for potentially making money on a speaking engagement.

*cough* can anyone in the press say Clinton or Gore or Bush?

Wait...I thought Americans weren't supposed to criticize the president while overseas...:think:

I didn't see anybody in that story criticizing Gov. Palin for making money as a speaker.
Who has done that?

They just cannot restrain themselves from hitting her. No names, no facts, just as much negativity as he could muster in in this short op ed. And what's with the obsession over how much she was paid?

Anyway, good for Sara.

[kat]

Wait...I thought Americans weren't supposed to criticize the president while overseas...:think:


Weird. I didn't see anything that said she said she was ashamed to be from the same Country. Her critique was legitimate and based on facts.

[toreyj01]

Where is the transcript or video from the speech?

Oh that's right, they banned any coverage of it.

My bad....

[Dr. Funkenstein]

I was referring to Clinton getting slammed for his speech in Dubai.

[Mustang JEB]

Most past presidents made money from speeches.

Big Palin fan here, I wish she'd come to my area. I'll travel a couple of hours to see her.

[Debbie Shafer]

Sarah Palin worries the Left and the women haters. She is genuine, loves her country and her family, and she wants to secure America's future, not destroy it. Palin, Huckabee, Pawlenty, Romney and Pence will be drawing big crowds in the future, because people are fed up with the Lies, Deceit, and disregard for Human rights by the Left!!!!! John Kyl is correct...These proposals and bills, are a TOTAL ASSAULT ON LIBERTY!!!!

Why in the heck don't these crazy Democrats talk to the Republicans who have some totally workable plans for Healthcare!!!

[kat]

I was referring to Clinton getting slammed for his speech in Dubai.


Sorry. My bad.I don't know which speech, but if it referred to the Wars, he probably deserved some criticism.

[Mohawk5]

How horrible that she made money for delivering a speech!!!

THE HORROR!!!!

You libs just don't know when to quit.

[HawkeyeLonewolf]

Two threads are better than one... :)

[tnt]

No transcript? No video? No Audio?

[croupier101]

went to Hong Kong to bash the President and the country, wow.

[tinydancer]

Wait...I thought Americans weren't supposed to criticize the president while overseas...:think:

LOL.

And I thought American Presidents, you know like Carter, Clinton and even a sitting President like Obama wasn't supposed to trash talk their own country while overseas.

:whistle:

[tinydancer]

Two threads are better than one... :)

LOL. Sorry about that. I promise to do a search the next time if I've only had one coffee.

I'm flat lining this morning.

[Lochhi]

Where is the transcript or video from the speech?

Oh that's right, they banned any coverage of it.

My bad....
Whenever I see something like this that wee-wee's off the liberals ...

I get a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

:clap:

[flannie]

Come on now. If the speech isn't available for our perusal then how do any of you Palin bashers know that she bashed this country? Hearsay? Wishful thinking??

She had every right to speak from her own American perspective, about freedoms and liberties. Those are important principles on which our country was founded and I am proud of our noble heritage.

Go Sarah!

Who exactly is "they"?

Obama goes to the United Nations to bash America. Wow.

I'd like to see the link to where Palin bashed the country.

Go Sarah! And I don't think it's a big secret internationally there there is some pretty vocal opposition to the current policies.........she could not exactly have dropped a bomb on this.

[Rupperov91]

Palin's own words were that she would have to "change" the speech if media covered it.

Why? Trashing her own country?

Oh, BTW. :))

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601080&sid=aL6EoCie3kp4

People who attended Palin’s speech said she took only pre- approved questions.

Anyway, good for Sara. Any other time they would say she isn't worth listening to outside of what someone can make fun of. I'd think they'd be delighted to have her speaking to forums like this one.

[ChicoLibertarian]

A full house? You mean "a full house with the exception of those that walked out, calling it dreadful" right?

[ChicoLibertarian]

Why is it that Palin will only take pre-scripted questions? Oh, that's right, it's because the last time she spoke "off the cuff", she got clobbered by that softball pitcher Katie Couric. Palin is tre funneh!

She didn't get clobbered by little Katie. Way to fall for tricky editing. Again, after being savaged by rumors and a malicious press, it's makes plenty of sense for this private citizen to screen questions ahead of time. Otherwise she might be asked a lot of stupid personal questions about her family.

If I was giving a pro communist China speech on Chinese soil I guess I'd want no media coverage as well.

Great Article in Market Watch.



HONG KONG (MarketWatch) -- Sarah Palin, former U.S. Republican vice-presidential nominee, addressed a packed ballroom of mostly high-flying fund managers at a five-star hotel in Hong Kong Wednesday -- on issues ranging from the Alaskan fishing industry to the financial crisis to Sino-U.S. relations.

The trip was the first to Asia by Palin, and her first major appearance since stepping down as governor of Alaska in July. The address was made to an audience of fund managers and other financial professionals. Reporters were barred from attending.

"I'm going to call it like I see it and I will share with you candidly a view right from Main Street, Main Street U.S.A.,'' Palin was cited as saying by the Associated Press, which said it had seen a video recording of part of the speech.

"And how perhaps my view of Main Street ... how that affects you and your business," Palin's speech reportedly continued.

Palin was reportedly paid a sum in the low six figures to appear at the five-day conference organized by Hong Kong-based brokerage, CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets.

Previously the conference has attracted Bill Clinton, Al Gore and Alan Greenspan via satellite.

Palin also reportedly said the world financial crisis was the result of government excesses and called for deregulation and tax cuts for U.S. businesses.

"We got into this mess because of government interference in the first place," The Wall Street Journal reported Palin as saying, citing a recording of the speech.

On the foreign policy front, Palin spoke of the importance of the global fight against terrorism and of finding ways to engage China as a global power.

She added that China "rightfully makes a lot of people nervous," the report said.

Media reports described the speech as wide-ranging, touching on issues from the rising U.S. budget deficit, the debate over proposed health-care reforms, the U.S. military's involvement in Afghanistan and China's role in global affairs.

In a description of her own political philosophy, Palin said she embraced "common-sense conservatism" and that the free market philosophies of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher were guides for how to get out of the current downturn.

"Liberalism holds that there is no human problem that government can't fix if only the right people are put in charge," The Journal reported Palin as saying.

Without referring to President Barack Obama by name, Palin indicated that his promise for change during the election hadn't materialized.

She added that his campaign policies were "utopian sounding" and that many Americans were asking whether bigger government was the change they were looking for.

In other comments related to the financial crisis, Palin said the Federal Reserve's low-interest-rate policy laid the groundwork for the global meltdown. She added that she opposed appointing the Fed as chief overseer of U.S. financial system risk.

She acknowledged the rise of India and China but said there was no need to envision Asia as dominated by any single country.

"I see a China that is stable and peaceful and prosperous," she said.

She also called for greater political openness in China.

"Many believed that with China liberalizing its economy, greater political freedom would follow, but that hasn't happened," The Journal reported Palin as saying. "The more open [China] is, the less we'll be concerned about the military buildup and its intentions."

Good article.

And you are roght. Nothing can beat a moonbat lib trying to prove to himself how irrelevant Palin is. :lol:

[ChicoLibertarian]

Here are some excellent quotes about Palin's speech:

"It was almost more of a speech promoting investment in Alaska," he said, declining to be named. "As fund managers we want to hear about the United States as a whole, not just about Alaska. And she criticised Obama a lot but offered no solutions."



So - she failed to address the nation as a whole and she offered criticism, but no solutions. Par for her prior performances.


Two US delegates left early, with one saying "it was awful, we couldn't stand it any longer".


Ouch! Seems that she fails to connect...again!



"It was fairly right-wing populist stuff,' one US delegate said.

That's funny! More faux-populism from a right-wing hack!

And then to take only pre-screened questions is just hilarious! So much for the luminary of the right-wingers.

[ChicoLibertarian]

She answered the question just fine. We've been told she couldn't answer the question which is patently false.

Huh? The only answers we've seen is the footage that was presented and in that footage she:

a) struggled to name a single Supreme Court decision that she was intereseted in

b) claimed that because she could "see Russia from Alaska" that she had some sort of foreign policy experience

c) could not name a single paper or journal or magazine that she read, instead saying "oh, you know, all of them! <wink>"

What a sad interview that was and it's clear that she has learned her lesson: don't open your mouth in an unscripted moment for embarrassment is sure to follow.

Hong Kong Broker Pulling A "Borat" On Sarah Palin
http://www.businessinsider.com/sara-palin-just-another-clsa-practical-joke-2009-9

That quote from the Wall Street Journal sums it up: Sarah Palin "who's never been to East Asia and isn't exactly famous for her mastery of public speaking or her expertise in finance and international affairs".

And from the quotes of the American delegates at the meeting ("it was awful, we couldn't stand it any longer"), it seems that she was indeed Borat'd.

[Rupperov91]

Palins world stage debut (minus media and only pre approved questions) after getting a passport in 2007?

Fishing and Tires.

And there is your conservative front runner folks.:)):))

[ksdb]

Huh? The only answers we've seen is the footage that was presented and in that footage she:

a) struggled to name a single Supreme Court decision that she was intereseted in
No, she was avoiding naming specifics so she wouldn't be put on the spot. Politicians do this all the time.

b) claimed that because she could "see Russia from Alaska" that she had some sort of foreign policy experience
She was making a joke. Good God. :rolleyes:

c) could not name a single paper or journal or magazine that she read, instead saying "oh, you know, all of them! <wink>"
Again, she purposely chose not to name specific papers, and rightfully so, since many had been publishing personal rumors about her. She had already written at least one op-ed piece that had been published by a major east newspaper, so it wasn't like she didn't know the names of any publications.

What a sad interview that was and it's clear that she has learned her lesson: don't open your mouth in an unscripted moment for embarrassment is sure to follow.
Nonsense. I could take any Obama interview and make him look worse ... easily.

[ksdb]

That quote from the Wall Street Journal sums it up: Sarah Palin "who's never been to East Asia and isn't exactly famous for her mastery of public speaking or her expertise in finance and international affairs".
Yes, it does sum up the bitter, irrational disdain of Palin by stating opions. Good find.

And from the quotes of the American delegates at the meeting ("it was awful, we couldn't stand it any longer"), it seems that she was indeed Borat'd.
Wow, real impressive when these rubes won't identify themselves.

[ChicoLibertarian]

Wow, real impressive when these rubes won't identify themselves.

How would identifying themselves change anything? What happened to a person's right to speak their mind without identifying themselves? Or are you only interested in sending your brownshirts to harass them?

[monkeymom]

Wait...I thought Americans weren't supposed to criticize the president while overseas...:think:

The article did not provide specific quotes from Palin in this regard - I would want to hear quotes to decide if she was being belligerent toward Obama or just stating how she would handle things differently.

[ChicoLibertarian]

No, she was avoiding naming specifics so she wouldn't be put on the spot. Politicians do this all the time.


She was making a joke. Good God. :rolleyes:

Nonsense. I could take any Obama interview and make him look worse ... easily.

We'll just have to agree to disagree about Palin. One thing is for certain - if she runs for president, then the first people to tear her apart will be Republicans, as she fights her way through the primaries. I wish they still had the popcorn emoticon! It will be fun to watch, that much is certain! :flag:

[Long Island Bob]

Oh

palin was wrong

but it was one off hand comment during an 80-minute speech given behind closed doors to invited business leaders.

that's a heck of a lot different from things Carter etc. did

[CanadianJudo]

No transcript? No video? No Audio?

its like u never been to china or somthing before. :cool:

Why? Trashing her own country?



You know full well that when the media is present all public speakers... particularly prominent and/or controversial speakers... must guard what the say or the media will take it out of context and distort it. She was speaking to international investors... they wanted to know what she thought, with complete frankness. And saying the Feds have made the recession worse is not Country bashing... that is a cold hard fact.

BTW... All the other speakers also spoke on the condition of media anonominity. All of them wanted the freedom to speak frankly, which is exactly what their client was paying for.

[Samm]

You just proved ksdb's point. ;)

[ksdb]

How would identifying themselves change anything?
It would give a better sense of integrity. Look at all the anonymous stuff posted on the Internets. Do you believe all of that??


What happened to a person's right to speak their mind without identifying themselves?
Where is that 'right' spelled out??

Or are you only interested in sending your brownshirts to harass them?
Naw, maybe some purple shirts.

[Colorado Mom]

Have you seen the "uncut" footage? Care to provide a link to her answers that was not edited in some malicious and "tricky" manner?

Actually yes, you can read the complete unedited transcripts by both Charles Gibson and Katie Couric in their interviews with her. The editing was very creative and didn't always show the complete questions or answers. They painted her the way they wanted to and people like you who didn't want to like her to begin with accepted it.

Even the NYT gave a fair appraisal of her speech. They mentioned she had a reputation for not being bright, but acknowledged she is bright.

LOL! Have you ever seen Obama take anything other than softballs? Mr. 57 states (with one more to go) cannot speak without a teleprompter. Did you hear the last speech he gave without one? That was far more embarrassing than anything Palin has ever said. He um, er, uh duh for about a minute, and then said he hadn't had much sleep lately.

I'm not sure if they are still up, but there were sites at the time that posted the uncut transcripts side-by-side with the edited transcript of the Gibson interview. There were instances where ABC not only edited out Palin's answer to a question entirely, they edited out Gibson's following question making it look like her answer to the second question was given to the first question. That, by the way, was a five hour interview; ABC showed about 45-50 minutes of it.

I don't know if they are up either but I remember the side-by-sides. That is what I read. It was appalling at the editing. I would have liked to see the unedited video but ABC/NBC dared not show it. I also remember with Couric questions that were asked and they specifically edited out the answers because they made Sarah look reasonable instead of the far right nut job they wanted to paint her to be.

I never saw the transcripts of the Couric interview, but I believe it was about 3 hrs long. After the first edited showing (again, of only perhaps 45-50 minutes) all they did was show those two 15 second clips of her spacing out on the Supreme Court and newspaper questions. And when it comes right down to it, Palin's inability, when put on the spot, to come up with a specific answer to either of those pop questions was meaningless. I might buy into the Supreme Court question somewhat because they were discussing Roe v. Wade at the time, but who the hell cares which newspapers anyone reads. What kind of a stupid question was that anyway?
