Updated: Palin Slams Obama's Spending in Address to Investors

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin said the U.S. government was wasting American taxpayers' money and could aggravate poverty during a speech in Hong Kong Wednesday.

Hundreds of financial gurus gathered for the CLSA Investors' Forum and listened to the former governor speak on a wide range of topics including her time as Alaska's governor, international terrorism, U.S. economic policy and trade with China.
