USA Today: Sarah Palin, who popularized the "drill, baby, drill" slogan as the GOP vice presidential candidate in 2008, criticized President Obama's efforts to clean up the Gulf oil spill.
The former Alaska governor, speaking on Fox News Sunday, questioned whether there's "any connection" between Obama's campaign donations from oil companies and him "taking so doggone long to get in there, to dive in there, and grasp the complexity and the potential tragedy that we are seeing here in the Gulf of Mexico," the Los Angeles Times reports.
Palin said she remains a "big supporter" of oil drilling but "these oil companies have got to be held accountable."
In response, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Palin should learn more about the situation.
