Sarah Palin Slams Barack Obama in VP Acceptance Speech at RNC

Sarah Palin slammed Barack Obama during her acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday.

Palin began quickly as she accepted the VP nomination for the Republican Party early into her RNC speech.

Palin, the governor of Alaska, said that Obama was a good speaker, but was very inexperienced. "But listening to him speak, it's easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform - not even in the state senate," said Palin.

"But when the cloud of rhetoric has passed, when the roar of the crowd fades away, when the stadium lights go out, and those Styrofoam Greek columns are hauled back to some studio lot - what exactly is our opponent's plan?" asked Palin.

Palin spoke to the RNC about her time as mayor of her hometown of Wasilla, Alaska. She addressed the naysayers who say that she lacks experience, comparing hers to Obama's. "I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a 'community organizer,' except that you have actual responsibilities," said Palin. 

"I might add that in small towns, we don't quite know what to make of a candidate who lavishes praise on working people when they are listening, and then talks about how bitterly they cling to their religion and guns when those people aren't listening," said Palin.

Palin, a self-titled hockey mom, also showed her sense of humor and toughness during her speech. As she addressed several supporters with signs that said "Hockey Moms for McCain" and "Hockey Moms for Palin", she asked them what was the difference between a hockey mom and a pitbull.

"Lipstick," replied Palin to the cheers of the RNC audience.
