Palin Back On The Stage
Sarah Palin will be jetting to Hong Kong to talk finance:
The former Alaska governor will visit Hong Kong to address the CLSA Investors Forum, a well-known annual conference of global investment managers, the host announced Monday.
Bill Clinton, Al Gore and Alan Greenspan have spoken at the event, hosted by brokerage and investment group CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets.
“Our keynote speakers are notable luminaries who often address topics that go beyond traditional finance such as geopolitics,” company spokeswoman Simone Wheeler said in a statement.
“We just felt it would be a fabulous opportunity for CLSA clients to hear from Mrs. Palin,” Wheeler said, adding that CLSA approached Palin with the offer.
She said the conference aimed to present investors “a diversity of views that potentially influence decision-makers who help shape the markets.”
Her first speaking engagement (of many) post Alaska-governorship will be important and international. Her thoughts will be eagerly anticipated. The 2012 Presidential Race is already looking interesting. Historians will note that no Vice-President has ever challenged their boss in the primaries so the Obamessiah is guaranteed a free run unless his poll figures tank remarkably. Speeches like tthis are important because with strong candidates like Jon Huntsman dropping by the wayside and taking the Obama shilling, the focus for the GOP is already shifting to Palin, Romney and Pawlenty amongst others to make the early running. Palin already has the advantage with her successful campaign against the Obamacare “death panels” so it’s all to play for.
Let the gnashing of teeth begin.
By the cringe – she’s a serious M.I.L.F.
More, more,more!
Thank goodness McCain (with all his illnesses) did not win the election or the world would have had Palin as vice president with her finger on the nuclear button. She would have been a walking talking disaster from the outset and how the world would have suffered if she sat in the Whitehouse hot seat if McCain got sick again?
Not that I like ‘autocue’ Obama that much.
It’s that ‘librarian’ look, isn’t it? Admit it…
Guest – and Biden, who dribbles and can’t keep a conversation going without losing the thread, gives you confidence?
The VP’s job is proverbially worth ‘a bucket of warm spit’ unless the POTUS croaks but gives the person a chance to grow into the job and audition for the big chair. Frankly I I think she is tremendously underrated and the fact that the Dems went after her so hard was a sign that she was a winner.
I could be wrong, but let’s see what happens in the Primaries over the next few years. I’m willing to buy many people beers if my confidence is misplaced, but I’m expecting to be bought lots of drinks from naysayers when she does well.
