Satiating liberals, the notes were not obscure points one would be likely to forget, but rather the colloquial terms "Energy" "Tax" and "Lift American Spirits." Now, as much as I don't support Palin politcally, I'm sure she could memorize these words fairly quickly. So either she spent minimal time preparing for the speech, or she was so incredibly nervous that she wouldn't be able to remember anything she memorized. Either option is not particularly comforting.
Instead of surreptitiously using handwritten notes, she should have just rescinded her prior statement about the President and used the Tele-Prompter. But she chose not to.
Her cynical attitude towards Obama's goals of hope and change is depressing. Hope is something Americans should strive for whether or not it happens because of President Obama or under the leadership of a Republican president. Calling Obama's whole plan "hope-y and change-y" was completely unnecessary. Is she seriously prompting a lack of hope just because the Democrats use the word as well?
And now conservatives are crying foul over Press Secretary Gibbs' mockery of Palin. "I wrote a few things down. {shows his palm with scrawled words to the audience} I wrote eggs, milk and bread...And then I wrote down hope and change, just in case I forgot."
