I watched Oprah Winfrey interview Sarah Palin and I thought she sounded good. Sarah Palin that is. She didn’t sound as clueless as she did during the 2008 campaign, but then again, how could she? It was almost hard to believe that this was the same woman that couldn’t name a single magazine she reads.

Almost.

The most interesting part of the interview was when Oprah asked her why she resigned as Alaska’s governor. Palin said it was because she had already decided that she wasn’t going to run for reelection and she felt like she was a lame duck. She also said something that sounded really odd. She blamed the reason for stepping down on Barack Obama. She said that people from the Obama camp were coming up to Alaska to do “opposition research.”

Watch it here:

I understand there are some on the right that want to blame everything on Obama, but this? I have a hard time believing that after winning the 2008 Presidential election, Barack Obama really cared about Sarah Palin. Why would he send people up to Alaska to do research on her?

I think the reason she quit was so that she could cash in on her sudden fame. If she resigned as governor, she could go on the paid lecture circuit and write a book. Instead of just admitting to this, she instead blames Obama.

She should have just said she wanted to make money.
