Palin denounces Wall Street “greed” to big money donors
by Mosheh Oinounou
NEW YORK — Chalk this up to either speaking truth to power or not knowing your audience.

During brief remarks to a big money joint fundraiser in New York City Tuesday night, where the GOP ticket took in nearly $9 million from some well-to-do Manhattanites, Gov. Sarah Palin denounced the “greed” of big business.

“We know that all across America right now, there is a lot of anger, there is frustration, there is anger with…the dealings with lobbyists there in DC, the greed of Wall Street and some of the arrogance of the Washington elite,” she said to a nearly silent group of about 300 donors.

While both Palin and John McCain have railed against the “unbridled greed” and alleged corruption of Wall Street for weeks, which usually plays well to audiences on the campaign trail, but the crowd of business executives gathered in the hotel ballroom did not have the same response. The fundraiser took place at the Grand Hyatt hotel, less than four miles from the New York Stock Exchange.

Palin, who was reading from a prepared speech that seemed more geared towards Main Street, received a more positive response for her call for energy independence but again brought the room to near silence and actually earned some hisses when she took a sharp, sarcastic shot at Obama on Iraq.
