Palin to Obama on oil companies: 'Give me a call
Palin to Obama on oil companies: 'Give me a call

JUNEAU, Alaska - Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said President Barack Obama's acknowledgment that he hasn't directly spoken to BP's chief executive shows it "bodes well to have some sort of executive experience before occupying the Oval Office."

Then, in a Facebook posting Tuesday, she outlined her experience. And she urged Obama to contact experts, including those in Alaska, who have held oil companies accountable. In parts of this state, the effects of the Exxon Valdez disaster are still being felt 21 years after that massive oil spill.

"Give them a call," she wrote. "Or, what the heck, give me a call."

Palin's latest missive is extensive, chiding not only Obama but also the media for not calling him out in his handling of the massive oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico. Obama, in an interview with NBC's "Today" show, broadcast Tuesday, said he hadn't spoken directly to BP CEO Tony Hayward because his experience tells him someone like that would say "all the right things" and that he's more interested in action than in words.

Republicans just know how to talk to oil company execs. Head bowed over bent knee with hand out.

10. Watching Sarah Palin...
She reminds me of that youtube video from the woman who found rainbow colors in the spray from her sprinkler and deduced that the Illuminati terrorists must have put skittles in the water supply...
