Governor Palin 4 President

Governor Palin praised Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele as "bold and courageous" late Tuesday while knocking President Barack Obama as "predictable as Alaska's winter snow."
In a statement criticizing the president over General Motors' plan to sell its healthy assets to the federal government following bankruptcy, the Republican governor singled out Steele as a counterbalance to the president.
"We have another voice in Washington, D.C. — a man who understands what Alaskans believe: less centralized government control, restrained budgets, more opportunity for development and fewer taxes," The Governor said.
"Today, we have a friend in RNC Chairman Michael Steele, and his bold and courageous speech defines his leadership goals that will guide us all through this most difficult time for our nation." Speaking to an RNC meeting Tuesday in Maryland, Steele vowed to confront the president more aggressively.
"What’s the loyal opposition to do with this popular president? We are going to speak truth to power. We are going to speak directly, and we are going to take him on," Steele said. "We are going to challenge those policies that we believe are wrong, and we are going to do so without apology and without a second thought."
Turning to Obama, The Governor said "change" in the president’s administration "has meant rapid movement toward massive government growth, huge tax burdens on future generations and an unprecedented reliance upon foreign countries."
"We are now witnessing actions that will lead to a monumental shift away from free-market capitalism and the strong work ethic that built this great country," she said. "Government should not be in the auto industry business."
