Sarah Palin may be mum about her presidential ambitions, but the former GOP vice presidential candidate is opening up about her campaign experiences and has some harsh words for President Obama.
In an interview with ABC News' Barbara Walters, Palin, whose book, "Going Rogue: An American Life," lands on bookshelves Tuesday, said she would give the president a mere four for his job performance on a scale of one to 10.
"There are a lot of decisions being made that I -- and probably the majority of Americans -- are not impressed with right now," said Palin, the former governor of Alaska. "I think our economy is not being put on the right track, because we're strayed too far from, fundamentally, from free enterprise principles that built our country. And I question, too, some of the dithering, and, hesitation, with some of our national security questions that have got to be answered for our country."
Even after last year's devastating defeat, Palin remains one of the Republican Party's brightest stars. From Alaska, she has been weighing in on issues and influencing policy debate in Washington. She scored a major blow to Obama in August when she wrote on her Facebook page that under Obama's plans, the fate of the elderly and her son Trigg, who has Down syndrome, would be determined by "death panels."

Do they honestly think proposed legislation is going to say, "We are going to implement death panels to make decisions about when it's time for you to stop being a financial burden to our system?" That might get passed...huh?
Obama gets a 0 from me!
And then, there's the rest of the country who see her as she really is. Uneducated in everything a president of the US needs to know. A loud mouth with no real substance behind her ability to throw insults and fallacies. Even the moderate Republicans don't want to be associated with her. Poor Sarah. She should just take all her new money and head for the Alaskan snow and hibernate.
Women are hardest on their own sex.
I've dealt with 7th grade clicks from grown women - men don't participate in those! Oh, and then two-faced... When they are your "friend" they tell you stuff, then they move on to another "friend" and tell them stuff about you BUT forget they already spilled the beans about their NEW "friend", and on it goes.
Women, unless it suits their personal goals, support the glass ceiling AND fear other women climbing that ladder to take their place. Women will also refrain from teaching other women things for fear they will take their job.
AND, they work very hard (some buy knee pads) to keep in the best favor of the male bosses.
You see, in most posts, the person starting to call others names, is when they've failed to support their point or issue.
I've had two instances where my boss was female and seemed to treat the workers as children. I rarely see men bosses acting like that.
Norman, as you can see in the responses to my comment, it is not all women, just an 'elite' few who cannot help but try to destroy other women. Sarah Palin had the misfortune of being thrust into a position far beyond her capabilities and her comments are proven to be false. These responses, however, are an example of the inadequacies of these responders. Now you have the opportunity of seeing how they also respond to this comment.
