Sarah Palin's "Thanks But No Thanks" letter to President Obama…

Dear Mr. President,

The purpose of this letter is to provide notice that I am accepting those funds available to Alaska under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) that create new, private-sector jobs and grow the economy…

The law requires that I certify that every dollar of these economic stimulus funds will create jobs and grow the economy. I take that charge seriously…

I Sarah Palin, the Governor of the State of Alaska, hereby certify that:

1) The State of Alaska will request and use certain funds provided by ARRA with some decisions subject to final determinations based on the legislative appropriations process described in this letter; and

2) Funds will be used to create jobs and promote economic growth.

By making this certification, the State of Alaska is not committed now or in the future, to accept all of the federal funds.

The federal economic stimulus package will have profound, long-term implications. Our citizens and future generations must have the hope of meaningful work and economic opportunity, rather than be burdened by higher taxes and increased national debt.

Sincerely,

Sarah Palin
Governor

Which I think translates to: I'm gonna take as much money as possible but not so much as to make it unfeasible for me to shout about how I rejected your help when we're running against each other in 2012. However, I can't tell for sure because I don't speak pit bull.

Her fans seem to think it's "masterful," so I think I got the general idea.
