The biggest project that Sarah Palin undertook as mayor of Wasilla was building an indoor sports complex, where locals played hockey, soccer, and basketball. The only catch was that the city began building roads and installing utilities for the project before it had unchallenged title to the land.

What was to be Ms. Palin's legacy has turned into a financial mess that continues to plague Wasilla.

Take her anti-obesity thing that she is on. She is on this kick, right. What she is telling us is she cannot trust parents to make decisions for their own children, for their own families in what we should eat. And I know I'm going to be again criticized for bringing this up, but instead of a government thinking that they need to take over and make decisions for us according to some politician or politician's wife priorities, just leave us alone, get off our back, and allow us as individuals to exercise our own God-given ri...

They don't believe we have a special message for the world or a special mission to preserve our greatness for the betterment of not just ourselves but all of humanity. Astonishingly, President Obama even said that he believes in American exceptionalism in the same way the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism.
