Sarah Palin Revs Up Rolling Thunder Rally

The former vice-president (and future president?) candidate began a tour of the country yesterday, participating in the annual Rolling Thunder ride-along in Washington, DC yesterday.

Donning a black jacket - and asking how they stay cool biker leather - Palin jumped on board a motorcycle (it's so American!) and joined others in a tour of the Pentagon in memory of veterans Vietnam.

Does this act, the first part of the One Nation tour of the East Coast means Palin is definitely aimed at the White House in 2012?

She would not comment on those rumors yesterday, but a veteran made ​​it clear he was offended if the former governor used the rally for political purposes. He told Fox News:

"If it is there to support us and our troops, past, present and those whose name is written on the wall, that's fine. This is not a political event other than calling the attention to the accounting of our MIAs, nodes that were not at home. "
