President Obama and Democrats provided much fodder for Palin's $100,000, 40-minute speech, which laced into them for everything from federal spending ("generational theft") to the war on terror ("we need a commander-in-chief, not a professor") to the 2008 election ("How's that hopey, changey stuff working out for you?"). She concluded with a 15-minute Q&A session of pre-selected questions.
