Palin, ignorance is not bliss

Indeed, ignorance is not bliss, especially if you are at this type of job. September 12 in Alaska, Palin claimed that Alaska made 20% of United States energy. FactCheck.org says differently,after they looked it up it was actually wrong. Although Alaska did produce 14% of US' oil, they only 3.5%!!! That would mean that he overstated his claim 5.7 times over!
"Let me speak specifically about a credential that I do bring to this table, Charlie, and that's with the energy independence that I've been working on for these years as the governor of this state that produces nearly 20 percent of the U.S. domestic supply of energy, that I worked on as chairman of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, overseeing the oil and gas development in our state to produce more for the United States.",Fact Check Source
Indeed, no one is perfect, but when a vice presidential candidate tries to lie through a conversation, it gives a very bad impression to their voters (Especially when he lies about his own achievements).
