Former Alaska Governor / 2008 Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin made her official debut in her new capacity as a Fox News analyst Tuesday night on The O’Reilly Factor, trading conservative ideals with show host Bill O’Reilly.

O’Reilly asked Palin why so many people attack her, to which she said, it’s not about her personally, it’s about her message of "common sense conservatism,” which is unpopular with her Left-wing critics.

Sinking approval numbers for President Barack Obama, she said, reflect "an uncomfortableness" some Americans feel toward his administration.

"It was just a matter of time," she said. "There is an obvious disconnect between President Obama and the White House, what they are doing to our economy and what they are doing in terms of not allowing Americans to feel as safe as we had felt."

She briefly touched on Nevada Senator Harry Reid’s recent controversial race comments, saying the Left-wing would let him slide, but “crucify Trent Lott” for similar statements.

Palin told O'Reilly she hadn't seen a recent 60 Minutes/Anderson Cooper report about her, explaining she was warned it contained "a bunch of b.s."

On the claim made on 60 Minutes -- that she didn't understand the nature of her son's mission when he was shipped to Iraq -- she said: "These reporters were not there. I think that these are the political establishment reporters who love... controversy and spin up gossip. The rest of America doesn't care about that kind of crap."

O'Reilly told her she now has a forum with Fox News that allows her to "immediately neutralize 60 Minutes" – he snapped his fingers – "like that,” before  inviting her back on his show any time she wants to set the record straight.

Palin's multi-year deal with Fox was announced Monday. While she might not have a favorite newspaper, she is no stranger to the media, having majored in journalism with an emphasis on broadcasting at the University of Idaho. She also worked part-time as a weekend sportscaster in 1988 for an Anchorage TV station.



palin is a joke. What is wrong with the American people. Have any of you checked where she placed in her 4 different colleges. We aren't talking Yale here folks. Her education is high scholl level at best.

Hillary Clinton is only where she is by riding the shirt-tails of her husband; probably the only reason she hasn't divorced him. She would still be an attorney in Arkansas if it weren't for him, his name, and his notoriety.

Hillary Clinton is well educated, well informed, and has experience. Sarah Palin has none of that.

I don't think Sarah is qualified for President for Hillary would also be a disaster. We, the people, need to take responsibility for our own mistakes and not expect the government to bail us out from our own errors.

To compare Sarah Palin to Hillary Clinton is offensive to Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton is a well educated and informed person with a lot of experience. Sarah Palin is the opposite.

The liberal lunatics criticize Sarah because they are afraid of her and are trying to discredit her. How's this Hope and Change thing that the community organizer sold working out for you? The tax man cometh!

Sarah Palin discredits herself everytime she opens her mouth. She is ignorant of everything from how the US Government is run to basic current events. Hope and change are working great for me! Glad we don't have the Depression Era II GOP in office

We need more people like Sarah and Lt. Col. Allen West serving this country!

Personally, I think we started this downward spiral ourselves with our overspending and living beyond our means and the Republicans wouldn't bail us out. We will see if the billions if not trillions of bailout help.

I haven't seen any presidential material for a very long time. O'Bama is spending billions of dollars like it is dollar day at Wal-Mart. Only ones profitting from that is the bankers. Republicans don't have answers either.
