http://zennie2005.blogspot.com/2008/09/palins-mistake-idea-placing-federal.html Last week I reported via video about Alaska Governor and GOP Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin's lack of knoweldge of who owned Freddie Mac and Fanny Mae. I avoided making a video regarding Palin's lack of knoweldge of The Bush Doctrine, but you knew about that. Now, Palin's made another mistake -- three in the span of a week -- and this time it's a doozy because it could have been avoided. At a rally in Ohio on Tuesday, Palin said this: "I've got another idea that I think Senator McCain likes. In Alaska, we took the state checkbook and put it online, so everyone can see where their money goes. We're going to bring that kind of openness to Washington," There's one problem, the idea's been thought of and acted on and by none other than Senator Barack Obama in 2006. It was called The Colburn - Obama Act and had as it's other co-sponsors Senator John McCain, off all people. The law was signed by President Bush on September 26th, 2006 and called The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (S. 2590). It established this new website called http://www.usaspending.gov ...where you can see where Federal dollars are going. Palin Does Not Know The Federal Government But the problem once again is Governor Palin's lack of knoweldge of the Federal Goverment. She simply lacks the feel for the nuance of goverment at this level, let alone a sound understanding of the history of the Federal Govermment and its policies and programs. The other problem is the aides to McCain are not properly briefed on the Senator's work themselves. Regardless of where you look, it's a tragic story of the blind leading the blind.
