Palin Slammed for Out-of-State Trip

ABC News’ Teddy Davis and Ferdous Al-Faruque report:

Citing the need to focus on state business, Republican Gov. Sarah Palin has been a no-show at multiple high-profile events outside of Alaska this year. But now that her state’s 90-day legislative session is drawing to a close on Sunday, John McCain’s former running mate is drawing flak for plans to attend anti-abortion and Down syndrome events in Indiana later this week.

"It looks to us that once again she is putting her national political ambitions ahead of the needs of Alaskans and the responsibilities of her job as our governor," Alaska Democratic Party chair Patti Higgins told reporters at a Monday press conference in Anchorage.

"With the economy in a recession, Alaska’s unemployment rate is at 9 percent. There is a lot of unfinished business in Juneau . . . so where is Sarah Palin? She’s going to be half way across the country."

The latest round of criticism, which was publicized to national reporters by the Democratic National Committee, was prompted by Palin’s plans to travel to the Hossier State for a Thursday dinner sponsored by Vanderburgh County Right to Life as well as a Friday breakfast sponsored by SMILE, a non-profit organization for people with family members who have Down syndrome.

Palin is reacting to criticism of her trip by emphasizing that she will only be away for roughly 36 hours.

"I’ll be gone for one day. I already have been on record with lawmakers on this," said Palin at a Friday press conference in Juneau. "I told lawmakers, you know what, ‘Please, don’t make me feel that I have to ask your permission, lawmakers, to leave the capital city."

Democrats are not the only ones criticizing Palin for leaving the state in the dwindling days of the legislative session. 

"We’re a small state. When you get down to the last days of the legislative session it’s a little bit like the last two minutes of a basketball game," said state Rep. Jay Ramras, a Republican lawmaker who has clashed with Palin. "You want to have your best players there."

When asked by ABC News why Palin could not fulfill her duties remotely, Ramras said, "Being present is 90 percent of the game. There’s nothing like having the person in the room."

Beyond this week’s trip to Indiana, Palin’s only other 2009 trip outside of Alaska was in late January when she traveled to Washington, D.C., to join President Barack Obama at the exclusive Alfalfa Club dinner.

During that same trip, she also met with her Washington, D.C., staff, attended a luncheon at the Center for Strategic International Studies, and had dinner at the home of McCain finance chairman Fred Malek.

Her list of skipped events in Washington, D.C., this year includes the winter meeting of the National Governors Association as well as the annual Conservative Political Action Conference. The NGA meeting and CPAC are two mainstays of the political calendar which were attended by fellow Republican governors eyeing a 2012 run for president.

According to Palin, on-going state legislative business also prevented her from committing to a June 8 Republican Party fundraiser in Washington, D.C.

Palin’s chief of staff issued a statement saying the attacks over the Indiana trip were "nothing more than a politically charged shot in the dark."

"We did not anticipate that the governor’s political opponents would want their hands held in the final hours of the session," said Palin chief of staff Mike Nizich.

OMG, this is HUGE! Much bigger than the media’s refusal to report on Obama’s brother Samson raping a 13-year old in Britain. Or of his brother George living in abject squalor in Nairobi. Or his grandmother living in similar squalor in Kenya. Or his aunt flagrantly violating immigration law. Oh, yes, Palin…Palin! She’s the big story. LOL!

I bet the assrippen Obama got Saturday from the Pentagon is just a little more important than this.
Seems our inexperienced one is learing. Embarrassing for him, but too bad. Being a president isn’t like a community organizer, you must authorize the military.
I read that the seals were ticked at Obama for taking so long to give them the green light. — But I guess we already knew how they vote.

As Palin pointed out during the election, being Governor is not like being a Senator, it’s not about just sitting back and voting “present” on tough issues, it’s about making decisions; decisions not to even BE present when the tough decisions are made.

Two brothers, a grandmother, and an aunt are “remote relatives”? Hardly! The brothers are nuclear family, dude, and the grandmother and aunt are extended family. What planet did YOU grow up on?

Posted by: JustMe | April 13, 2009, 10:52 pm 10:52 pm

Yes jhw, it is sad.
However, it reminds me of the democrats from about ’03 till last January. Actually, liberals were ticked immediately after the elections in 2000, so their hatred started right away.
Also, it was much worse than what the right is doing now.
Do you know how I get to make that accurate observation, I’m an indepedent. I haven’t voted for either party in the last 16 years. So I am not biased to either party.

“Her list of skipped events in Washington, D.C., this year includes the winter meeting of the National Governors Association”….well, let’s say what the rumor is… the other governors wanted her to stay home. Particularly the republicans. Last time she attended an event with other republicans it was as though she was the spokesperson for those republicans, and she was her usual stupid self, spouting less than impressive speeches, the other republicans cringed “this is not helping us!” and she received a very chilly response from even them. She is not the brightest tool in the shed, and I dont think either party really wants her around. NObody is all that impressed with her arse to put up with her mouth. she is ambitious, i’ll giveher that. If she was in the whitehouse she’d have dragged her daughter down the isle by her ear, I’m sure, no matter what Levi’s problems were, but she honestly has no future outside Alaska. The greater continental United States is a bit more sophisticated as to whta they want in a ‘leader’ than Alaskans. So if you want to be admired, Sarah, stay in Alaska. We’re not outlawing abortion. get over it.

Stacey–THANK YOU!! Once again it’s swept under–if you don’t catch the first report of his relatives, it disappears!I constantly have comments even on subject-that abc refuses even when they reported it!!The aunt is here in US! Sarah is NEW to the downs syndrome & I applaud ALL she wants to know or however she can bring more help to the kids!!They openly attack her innocent son–yet we could NEVER mention B’s twins “issues”.

Posted by: Denisea213 | April 13, 2009, 10:57 pm 10:57 pm

No, no, PLEASE let Sarah do as she pleases and keep shooting her mouth off at every opportunity. It’s the best guarantee that Democrats will still control the White House until at least 2016! :)

Palin has no clue on what she is doing… so if the republicans want to continuing looking stupid, let them fawn all over her and make her their star… she will crash to earth with a huge thud.
Alaskans still have a high favor rating of her, so they can keep her… we in the lower 48 have more sense and can see thru her thin portfolio and make better choices… so let her stay in caribou country.

Posted by: lm | April 13, 2009, 11:14 pm 11:14 pm

Oh, puhlease, stop with the lambasting of Gov. Sarah Palin. As if the Alaskan Legislature and news media shouldn’t have vaster issues to pursue than their continued haranguing of an advocate of Right to Life and the parents of children with Down’s Syndrome which are the events that Gov. Palin is attending while out of state. These are issues important to family values which, of course, mean nothing to the current news media or evidently the Alaskan Legislature. Stop the madness!

Posted by: LaDonaQuixote | April 13, 2009, 11:17 pm 11:17 pm

Hey, Alaska Democratic Party chair Patti Higgin, you are so just nasty chatter. As you said that “”With the economy in a recession, America’s unemployment rate is at 10.2% what Democratic president Obama has done ???
biggest debts ($13,600,000,000,000.00),
biggest budgets($3,600,000,000,000.00),
biggest printing of money($1,000,000,000,000.00),
biggest expensive of Inauguration,
biggest spending for ABORTION, 1,000,000,000.00
biggest aiding for TERROR GROUP OF HAMAS
IN THE TIME OF
biggest economic crisis,
biggest chaotic Stock Market in Wall St.
highest rate of unemployeds,
highest rate of foreclosure.
Why don’t you claim about the above to Obama ? GO SARAH/2012

Posted by: Unhappy w 3.6 Trillion Budget | April 13, 2009, 11:18 pm 11:18 pm

Stacey…why should Obama be responsible for his grandmother, brother or even his aunt? Are you responsible for your family’s living conditions or crimes? It has absolutely nothing to do with his being president. It’s sad that that’s all you people can snipe about!! Your man lost, move on in life.
As for Palin, she has lost a lot of respect here in Alaska. I just wish her supporters in the “lower 48″ would pay more attention to the “local Alaska” news to see how she alienates people, even members of her own party. She’s flip-flopped on almost every issue before her. She is a petty, vindictive person whose only goal is to get what Sarah wants, no matter what. She is the biggest, lying bully on the playground!! She will never make it to the WH….Thank God!!!!

Posted by: akskimo | April 13, 2009, 11:26 pm 11:26 pm

It is truly amazing how Sarah Palin sends liberals into absolute fear with her every move. I say too bad and good for you governor Palin.
By the way, if you don’t want to see governor Palin become president then you better start by changing Obama’s policies. If the Democrats go into the 2012 election having run up 5 trillion in debt as projected by the CBO then Obama will have no chance to win. If the economy continues to flounder with double digit unemployment and massive inflation, as it did in the late seventies under Carter, then Sarah Palin will win in a landslide.
I suspect we will see a president Palin – there is no reason to believe Obama will change course.

Posted by: James | April 13, 2009, 11:35 pm 11:35 pm

Every day that Sarah Palin is not heart beat away from the presidency is a great day for America and hope America remains blessed with Sarah free WH for ever and ever.

Posted by: gjkotw01 | April 13, 2009, 11:39 pm 11:39 pm

akskimo, you are a very small minority. Governor Palin retains an approval rating of 67% and 68% percent in the latest polls done by Rasmussen and Opinion Dynamics. Heck, even polls with left wing bias like KOS and ADN have her rating at 60%.
Your buddy Obama is only at 55% in the latest Rasmussen poll. In this same poll 44% disapprove of his job performance.

Posted by: Kim | April 13, 2009, 11:42 pm 11:42 pm

Sarah Palin is doing an incredible job as the Governor of Alaska. Why do the democrats show so much hate? The individuals that are constantly attacking her are making the democrates look very evil!!!

Posted by: debra | April 13, 2009, 11:45 pm 11:45 pm

I will be good to see Governor Palin again. Any governor that had the foresight to set aside 6 billion dollars when the economy was good so her state can weather the bad economy now is the kinf od leader we need in Washington. Prefunding education is also one of those “crazy” Palin ideas. When you compared that type of responsible government to Obama’s 2 trillion dollar deficit this year it is clear that we sent the wrong person to the presidency in 2008.

Posted by: JohnG | April 13, 2009, 11:48 pm 11:48 pm

debra, the good news is the polls show that most Alaskans are siding with the good governor, not the bigots and haters on the Democratic side.

Posted by: Kim | April 13, 2009, 11:50 pm 11:50 pm

“if you don’t catch the first report of his relatives, it disappears”…why exactly are repugs obsessed with obama’s father’s scattered seeds? What consequence is that to Obama who has never even met half of them? His father had how many wives? Three, at least. how many children did he father? It’s ridiculous. All Obama’s father taught him was how NOT to be. Obviously Obama has not followed in his footsteps. So what consequence is it to Obama? It has nothing to do with him. Obama didn’t drag them onstage at his convention, or parade them around to the media. Palin took down Levi’s web page, cut his hair, dressed him up and put him up center stage at her convention. Not a good move, apparently. Her choice. one of many bad ones. So she needs to own the consequences of it. She gets to abuse a 19 year old boy in the press and he gets no say to defend himself? not very fair, I’d say. The governor or Alaska versus a 19 year old boy. It is her agenda to take sex ed out of the schools and outlaw choice. meanwhile she (she got knocked up before marriage) and her daughter were both unable to keep their pants on yet she pushes her abstinence only agenda. It’s a comics dream.

Posted by: democratic | April 14, 2009, 12:15 am 12:15 am

I am ashamed to say that I voted for Palin for Governor. Not a mistake I will make again.
Debra, do you by chance live in Alaska?
John G….Alaska has had a surplus for years…nothing to do with Palin!!!! As a matter of fact, when she was Mayor of Wasilla, they started with a surplus and when she was done, they had a big deficit. I can only hope that doesn’t happen to the State of Alaska before she is voted out.
Stacey..her approval rating has fallen. A May 2007 poll taken by Ivan Moore Research in Alaska put Palin’s positive rating at 89 where she stayed for quite awhile. October 1, 2008 she was at 68% she seems to remain there. I’d be willing to bet that her numbers will continue to fall.
She is the Democrats dream. They only hope that she will run in 2012 as that would assure a landslide victory for them.
I would hope that you are all following, at least, the legislative session here in Alaska. She is very good alienating people, even those of her own party. She flip flops (more than a fish out of water)on all the issues. With Palin it’s her way or the highway, never mind rules or laws. She tweaks those to suit her needs.
She was a boost to McCain’s campaign in the beginning. Then she started talking “off script”. It scared a lot of people that she would be “a heartbeat away” from the Presidency when it became evident how little she knew. It cost McCain the WH. McCain would not even commit himself to say that he would support Palin if she ran in 2012.
One last thing..who would want a President that runs to People Magazine at every opportunity and gets in a p…ing match with an 18 year old kid?

Posted by: akskimo | April 14, 2009, 12:38 am 12:38 am

akskimo, governor Palin is shaking up Alaska politics because it needs to be done. Both parties have been irresponsible, however, unlike the Democrats in our great state Governor Palin is willing to take on people in her own party. Does that make some people upset? Absolutely!!! That is a good thing. And yes, I would like to see that same approach taken in Washington. Enough of the back-room dealing politics, enough of the blind partisanship that prevents politicians from denouncing failure within their own little group.
I for one will vote for Governor Palin if she runs again, as will most of my friends. The fact that she “alienates” people like you who make up the fringe of the political spectrum only makes my support for her stronger.

Posted by: Jenny | April 14, 2009, 12:54 am 12:54 am

One thing no one has mentioned is that the REPUBLICANS in the legislature are pissed at her. Also, Obama’s step relatives who he has no personal relationship with are of no concern to anyone in the US. Also, the reason why we like bashing Palin is the same reason we like bashing Britney Spears – because she’s STUPID. Why should we be scared? She lost and will remain a loser. Also…

People are going to criticize and ridicule her about anything she does. She might as well just go ahead and do what she wants to do. Besides the state of Alaska is not going to fall apart or disappear into the sea in the 36 hours that she’s gone! And another thing, a 9% unemployment rate is nothing compared to some of the other states!

This is a political attack on Ms. Palin, and MSM are very happy to run with this nonsense. If she were doing a lot of out of state traveling, that would be overblown, and portrayed negatively by the media. Democrats should stop engaging in these tactics. When did Alaska become so important nationally? Ms. Palin has become the national scapegoat for MSM and the Democrats. It’s time to back off. The “media” should get back to real journalists.

Posted by: Vivi | April 14, 2009, 8:10 am 8:10 am

Guys, guys, guys,You’ve got it all wrong…..we should be supporting Ms Palin in her time of stress and need. With her future ex son-in-law spreading the truth out in the free world.
Her denial of any sense of cognizant thinking process. Her desire to pick up the GOP plank even while it is hitting her between the eyes with greater force, on each successive stroke. Her brilliantly backing herself into a corner with supporting opposing plans at every turn. (I know it is an oxymoron, but hey, that’s our Sarah)
Her disregard for the people of her state to position herself along side of other brain surgeon governors within the GOP collectively shooting each other in there diminishing circular firing squad.
No, no. Let our Sarah go!
She is doing a great job of closing out her (and sadly allot of Alaskans) chances for any success at all.
Let her run her course, she will self implode all on her own!

What is this with Obama´s father´s family? He never lived near these people nor was close to them. We all have relatives, some close like full brothers, that we´d prefer not to know!
As it is, the article was about Palin and although I don´t like her or her politics, I do think the sniping about her being gone for 36 hours is petty.

“And what does that have to do with the President?”
What does the new White House dog have to do with Obama governing? Nothing, but plenty of ink was wasted on that non-story while we were dealing with the piracy issue.
This has more to do with the media and the stories they choose to run. It’s always open season on Palin but any negative story about Obama or his family is buried in a hurry.
It’s obvious liberals are terrified of Palin because they can’t stop talking about her even when she poses no immediate threat to them. It’s pretty transparent.

Posted by: Jenn | April 14, 2009, 9:42 am 9:42 am

Wow – amazing that all the Right can do is to attack Obama rather than taking about the Disaster That Is Palin. Anytime Palin and her sorry family and her ethic-challenged Gubernatorial career is mentioned, all the Rabid Right can muster is “Well, Obama wasn’t born in the US”. And you wonder why the Repugs are fast on the way to becoming a Deep South third-party contender. Pathetic.

You Palin supporters just don’t understand the reason WHY Democrats, Independents and many Republicans “fear” Palin. It’s because she is just so gosh-darned stupid. It’s because she is such a small person, not in physical size or stature, but in ideas. It’s because she is so incredibly polarizing and divisive and fundamentalist in her views, her attitude, her speeches, and her style. It’s because she’s so un-educated in the ways of the world. She may be fine as a small town mayor or small state governor, where her ideas and actions are confined to the detriment of just a few unlucky souls. But having her on the world stage, representing the ENTIRE country to the world, and trying to handle the incredible complexities of the office of President – I truly DO shudder at the thought.

“OMG, this is HUGE! Much bigger than the media’s refusal to report on Obama’s brother Samson raping a 13-year old in Britain. Or of his brother George living in abject squalor in Nairobi. Or his grandmother living in similar squalor in Kenya. Or his aunt flagrantly violating immigration law. Oh, yes, Palin…Palin! She’s the big story. LOL!”
No, she’s an idiot and is getting called out for it. Has Obama ever even met these people? Oh, he’s met his aunt. Palin’s going to be running for President. Keeping tabs on her is far more news-relevant than what relatives Obama has never had anything to do with are doing. It’s not that difficult to understand why.

New Politico poll out today
“Three months into his presidency, Barack Obama stands out as perhaps the most trusted figure in American politics.
In a new Public Strategies Inc./POLITICO national survey of 1,000 registered voters, Obama outdistances figures on both the left and the right in earning the public’s trust, with two-thirds of respondents saying they trust the president “to identify the right solutions to the problems we face as a nation.”
Of those who said they trust the president, 31 percent said they trust him “a great deal.” An additional 35 percent said they have “some” trust that Obama will find the correct solution. Thirty-one percent said they trust Obama either “not very much” or “not at all.”
Voters were asked the same question of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Republican Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, former Massachusetts Republican Gov. Mitt Romney, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh and the two major political parties. Among those choices, only the Democratic Party was trusted to find the right solutions by a majority of voters, 52 percent to 40 percent. Forty percent of those surveyed said they trusted the Republican Party, compared with 54 percent who did not trust the GOP. Only 26 percent said they trust Pelosi, the lowest total in the group. Palin attracted the highest percentage of those who did not trust her at all to identify the right solutions, topping Pelosi 33 percent to 32 percent.”
Well, back to the drawing board GOP. Another item on the GOP agenda are the tea parties being organized by lobbyists and corporate entities, including Exxon Mobil. These organizations orchestrating and directing the tea parties are wanting it to appear “organic” from the grassroots, but the groups Americans for Prosperity, and Freedom Works, the principle organizers, are run by and heavily funded by the same corporate entities they want the movement to appear to be against. They don’t want the populace to institute oversight, transparency and regulations. What a sham, but many will come away believing.

49 other states have (besides Alaska) have active Governors and state legislatures, with most of them in session as we speak. NONE of them have received anywhere near the amount of national coverage this year as Alaska, and there is only one reason for that. And the media’s intention is NOT to make Alaska and/or Governor Palin look good, or even to be “neutral” in their coverage.
If you doubt what I say, compare the coverage of other Republican Governors so far this year (Jindahl in LA, Pawlejnty in MN, etc.) and ask yourself why the focus is so heavy on Alaska. Think about it….

It’s really not about her leaving the State, it’s that her timing stinks!!! The Legislative Session ends on April 19 and there are 3 very important issues still on the table…the budget, the stimulus funds, and appointing a Senator for Juneau. Juneau has been without a Senator since the previous one accepted a job in Washington D.C. She actually has appointed 2, but they failed to be confirmed by the Democrats who have to confirm it since it was a Democrat seat that was vacated and must be filled by one. One changed his party affiliation from Republican to Democrat days before she appointed him, the 2nd one, was very new to politics and only registered Democrat a few years ago. She is playing childish games, and quite frankly, many are growing tired of it, Republicans included.

A) Please define “true values”. What exactly is a true value, and how is it different from a false value? Be specific.
B) Is it truly your contention that liberals have no moral values? Why do you believe this? And is it ‘moral’ to vilify the other party, their ideals, their representatives, and their very lives, like so many conservatives do?
C) If a conservative gets convicted of ethics violations in her own state, does this mean she also has no morals? Why or why not? Is unethical behavior different from immoral behavior?
You say many people “relate” to Palin, and this somehow makes liberals afraid of her. Could this be why some people are afraid of Obama – because other people “relate” to him? Who, exactly, “relates” to Palin? Define her base for us, please. Do any of these terms apply to her base: white, rural, fundamentalist/religious, racist, hypocritical, poor, un-educated? What other terms would you use?
I look forward to your responses.

OMG, she’s been gone for 2 days in 3.5 months. How many times was Obama gone from the Senate while he was campaigning? This is a total non-issue. Where was The Note when Obama was taking a three-day Valentine’s Day trip to Chicago with his wife while pressing business (signing his miraculous stimulus bill) was waiting for him. Jobs were on the line (jobs that, according to him, were saved by the stimulus) and he had to go away so he could spend taxpayer money taking his wife out.

So, him being in the U.S., for which he is the head of the Executive is the same as her being out of Alaska, for which she is the head of the Executive? I honestly don’t care where she goes and what she does as long as she doesn’t get into any national office, but that’s bad logic, Dave.

Oxycontin dealer, burglers, high school drop-outs, “death threats” within the family and vindictive firings of ex relatives…I don’t think the Alaska hillbillies want to talk family values, so let’s just focus on Palin’s do-nothing governing strategy, which is the real issue for Alaskans anyway.

I’m not sure you understand the idea of logic. The claim against Palin’s trip is that she has to be meeting with people and be in the room physically. Apparently a different standard works for Obama. Are you actually saying that as long as Obama is somewhere in the U.S. he’s just as effective as when he’s in D.C.? I guess that’s the kind of logic I should expect from someone who apparently can only scream “Where’s Piper?” as if that has any relevance to anything.

Lol. Right, dave. It’s my logic that is flawed here.
“The claim against Palin’s trip is that she has to be meeting with people and be in the room physically. Apparently a different standard works for Obama.”
Well, according to what you’re saying, he was on a date with his wife. Unless he was missing a time-sensitive debate on something, I don’t see how they are remotely comparable. And you brought up that they were both away from their contituencies, and that it reveals a double-standard. Not even close…Palin was out of state…that state is her domain. Obama’s domain is the U.S. He was in the U.S. Get it?
As I said, I don’t care where she is as long as she’s not in Washington.

Ramras is in no place to criticize. Check his record. He takes Fridays off. I find it interesting, also, that Governor Palin is so vital to them that they can’t do without her for 36 hours. I watched Governor Palin’s speech at the banquet and she had lots of good things to say about Alaska. There is no better ambassador for a state than its governor. It’s good for any state when the governor travels and promotes business with his or her state. Again, though, the thing that really jumped out at me is that you use Ramras as a source here. Check his attendance and you’ll see what I mean.

As a Democrat and a working mother, I can appreciate Palin as a person who has juggled a career while raising a family, and she is not despised by me. But she clearly has not got the smarts to run the biggest country in the free world, and she does have a polarizing effect, as it regards her ability to bring all people together for a cause. As for Obama’s extended family, and why hasan’t the media focused on their dysfuntions? Obama was raised by his white mother and grandparents, and has inherited the midwest values they instilled in him. Why should the focus be on people, who had no affect on his values or belief sytems he has today. Why is there so much focus on his African roots,who he had very limited contact with,than on his American white side of the family, who basically had the greatest impact for shaping who he is today. Those of you who are truly racist in your assessment of him, don’t even realize he has many of the same family values and belief systems that you have, you are just too blinded by racism to see it.

This is only 1/1000 of the illegal acts performed by Obama or Obama’s staff. Naturally they are going to throw a curve ball and start “media mud slinging” about someone to take the light off their injustices.

Foolishness! It shows how patriotic some of these people are about their country’s President. How can u put blame on the economy when he just stepped into office to clean it up? Yes, we must spend money to make money and eliminate the large debt.
We can pinpoint many things other presidents have done, but the question lies in the support we give them. YOU MUST support your PRESIDENT! The guy isn’t an idiot, you’re just fearful. He has great character, knowledge, and humanitarian interest that is great for a hurting America. He broke up political gangs and special interest of big businesses.
Give the man a break and worry about your own economic status. Mud-slinging comes from many Republicans, thats why we see Palin revived after her son-in-law starting telling the truth.
Who is the Republican leader, lol? Democrats are not trying to battle, we extend our support and ask for any great ideas, just that republicans are not sound enough to develop one.
