Funny how Pelosi is more concerned about the democrats fingerprints on this bailout than the bailout itself... We are sorely lacking leadership in Washington.

Bill Clinton said Monday that he understood why Gov. Sarah Palin is popular in the heartland: people relate to her. Speaking to reporters before his Clinton Global Initiative meeting, Mr. Clinton described Ms. Palin’s appeal by saying, “People look at her, and they say: ‘All those kids. Something that happens in everybody’s family. I’m glad she loves her daughter and she’s not ashamed of her. Glad that girl’s going around with her boyfriend. Glad they’re going to get married.’ ” Mr. Clinton said voters would think: “I like that little Down syndrome kid. One of them lives down the street. They’re wonderful children. They’re wonderful people. And I like the idea that this guy does those long-distance races. Stayed in the race for 500 miles with a broken arm. My kind of guy.” Ms. Palin, the governor of Alaska, and her family, including her baby, Trig, who has Down syndrome; her 17-year-old daughter, Bristol, who is pregnant; and her husband, Todd, who won the 2,000-mile Iron Dog snowmobile race four times; have garnered intense interest from the news media. “I get this,” Mr. Clinton said. “My view is, why say, ever, anything bad about a person? Why don’t we like them and celebrate them and be happy for her elevation to the ticket? And just say that she was a good choice for him and we disagree with them?” The global initiative, a project of Mr. Clinton’s foundation, will hold its four-day annual meeting in Manhattan starting Tuesday.
