What Did the Cheat Notes Say
According to HuffingtonPost.com, a close-up Associated Press photograph of Palin's hand appears to read the words "Energy," "Tax" and "Lift American Spirits." The second line looks as if it says "Budget cuts" with 'budget' crossed out with a line.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/stefan-sirucek/did-palin-use-crib-notes_b_452458.html At the National Tea Party Convention, Palin was quoted as saying, "This is about the people ... and it's a lot bigger than any charismatic guy with a teleprompter." The comment refers to President Obama's well-documented use of teleprompters. In January 2010, Obama was criticized for using a teleprompter while visiting a grade school in Virginia, though he was addressing reporters and not the students, as some blogs reported.http://www.citybeat.com/cincinnati/blog-1180-palin-is-so-%28mentally-disabled%29.html
