Palin released her response at 2:55 to the WH's talking points which politico's Ben Smith posted at 2:09. Nah, Huffpo, she can't be writing her own text. Sheesh, if its not her words who the hell's posting such a quick and on point response? I wonder how long it took the WH to come up with their talking points?

Sarah Palin: Response to the White HouseSarah Palin's Notes
Response to the White House
Yesterday at 2:55pm

I'm pleased that the White House is finally responding to Republican health care ideas instead of pretending they don't exist.[1] But in doing so President Obama should follow his own sound advice and avoid making "wild misrepresentations".[2] Medicare vouchers would give everyone on Medicare the chance to decide for themselves which health plan to use, rather than leave that decision to government bureaucrats. Such proposals are the kind of health care reform that Republicans stand for: market-oriented, patient-centered, and result-driven.

The White House talking points leave the rest of my arguments unanswered. They don't respond to the idea that all individuals should get the same tax benefits received by those who get coverage through their employers; that we must reform our tort laws; and that we should allow Americans to buy insurance across state lines. The White House also fails to respond to the Nyce/Schieber study indicating that wages will fall if the government expands coverage without reducing health care inflation rates.

One last thing: after President Obama's speech tonight, listen for which pundits use the words "false", "scary", and "risky" in describing the proposals I put forward. That's how you'll be able to tell who the White House counted as "allies" worthy of receiving its talking points.

Special was on History channel 9-11 pm, and highlighted Rick Rescola as one of our authentic American heros.

In these current days of namecalling by our President and those in his party for the last 8 years, and who are furious when one with an R behind his name, dares to say even a tame version of what we have all heard for so long, it is comforting to remember what a civilian American hero was really like.
