Palin denies she abused power

My Reactions:
The chief investigator concluded that the Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin violated state ethics law and abused her power as governor by trying to have her former brother-in –low, Mike Wooten , fired as a state trooper. Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegans has said he lost his job because he refused to fire trooper Wooten, who involved in a bitter divorce and custody battle with Palin’s sister. Palin denied and said that there was nothing unlawful or unethical about replacing a cabinet member.

The former President Chen Shui-bian once remained a highly diverse figure for his position on Taiwan independence. After a legislator had announced that Chen wired money of contributor oversea, all of the DPP members and supporters were disappoint and felt like a fool. Most of the people will not trust him anymore no matter what he says. If it is true that Palin used her power as governor to get former brother-in –low fired because her family had feud with him prior to her becoming governor, she will lost the tickets of the electorate of the US.

People rely on elected officials not to use the power of their office to pursue personal benefit. A politician with higher moral standard is required. (206 words)
