THE MEETING 4.18.08 ( Was not the National Governor's Meeting like she said, but it is VERY Interesting)

( Huge Hat Tip DK)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following article referencing the forum was written April 9. Note among the governors are Palin (AK), Perry (TX), Pawlenty (MN ), Huntsman (UT), Jindal (LA), Gibbons (NV). All these people had been mentioned at one time or another for McCain veep.

it was linked in an article written today for opednews.com

http://www.opednews.com/articles/Sarah-Palin-and-the-Closed-by-Barbara-Bellows-Te-080831-733.html

from that article is this interesting snip:

"What was she doing in Texas that was so important that she couldn’t leave, and that she didn’t want to highlight by giving birth in Texas?"

Reported to be a "forum on energy with Texas Gov. Rick Perry and executives from four other states", it took a little digging to find that this forum was a closed-door affair hosting a select group of nine Republican governors and such notable corporate energy VIPS (and polluters) as Greg Boyce, chairman and CEO of the Peabody Energy Corp.; John Hofmeister, president of Shell Oil; Robert A. Malone, chairman and president, BP America; Anthony Orlando, president and CEO, Covanta Energy Corp.; and John Somerhalder II, chairman and CEO, AGL Resources.

It is important, too, to understand that the host, Governor Rick Perry, is the governor neatly trained to take Bush's spot in the Texas Governor's mansion. Before that, Perry defeated Jim Hightower for Texas Agricultural Commissioner with the help of Karl Rove and his scurilous tactics.

Perry is also the father of Dick Cheney's son-in-law, the lawyer Phillip Perry, who has bounced back and forth for the last several years between lobbying for Lockheed Martin and working for the White House. His wife, Elizabeth Cheney, though a mother of five herself, is a hawk for attacking Iran and has worked in the Bush Cheney State Department.

So, while the pregnancy story does bring up questions about Sarah Palin's character and priorities, I still think the far more relevant information for voters is what was going on behind closed doors in Texas that day?

AN AMAZING VIDEO THAT EXPLAINS THIS STORY IN A NUTSHELL ....WELLDONE.
