Sarah Palin on Obama's "backassward" economic policy

More from Barbara Walters' interview of Sarah Palin for ABC:

Walters: "Unemployment in the United States is now more than ten percent, the highest level since 1893. If you were president, what would you do about unemployment?"

Palin: "I would start cutting taxes and allowing our small businesses to keep more of what they are earning, more of what they are producing, more of what they own and earn so that they could start reinvesting in their businesses and expand and hire more people. Not punishing them by forcing health care reform down their throats; by forcing an energy policy down their throats that ultimately will tax them more and cost them more to stay in business. Those are backassward ways of trying to fix the economy."

A video of the exchange, courtesy of Real Clear Politics, is here. YouTube videos of former Gov. Sarah Palin's interview segements which were aired on ABC Tuesday are here, here and here.
