Sarah Palin, responding to a question from Sean Hannity on "Hannity".
"Yeah, well first...let's address President Obamas flip-flop on his philosophy there when it comes to raising the debt ceiling. He certainly condemned President Bush in those years of raising the debt ceiling. And then.. uh...look at where he's taken this country. He's taken us into a state of bankruptcy with his changed idea on it being a good thing to raise the debt ceiling. A very scary proposal was recently revealed too, by Geithner, uh...essentially saying 'let the President have free reign' on raising the debt ceiling to whatever level he wants it. That's a very scary thought because Barack Obama is a Socialist. He believes in Socialism...in redistributing wealth...in confiscating hard-earned dollars of our small businessmen and women...so that they cannot re-invest their dollars and hire more people and grow and expand. Instead he believes in these failed Socialist policies. And I say that not to personally condemn our President, but I say it because I face reality and I see what's going on and I see the path that we are on. And the fact that Barack Obama has not had a budget in the four years that he's been in office and not been worried about it and continues to spend recklessly other peoples money and that is a sign of that idea of loving Socialism."
