The Tea Party Movement emerged in early 2009 partially in response to the federal government’s stimulus package (American Recovery Investment Act of 2009). The group started as an anti-tax protest and grew in response to the increase in the national debt resulting from the stimulus package.
Palin’s speech was filled with her common “down home” jokes, yet she set aside time to embark on a more serious side when she spoke on lowering taxes, national debt and a stronger national defense; all of which she made sure to take note of on the palm of her hand as a reminder to the reason for her attendance.
In addition to her idea's, she also used the platform as means to jump start her possible future as a presidential candidate. Palin made note to mention that President Obama is merely a professor, and he is not qualified to be Commander and Chief of the United State of America.
Will Palin be able to transform conservatives’ excitement over the Tea Party to election success in 2012…or should she take a lecture from President Obama first?
