Sarah Palin's much-talked about interview with Oprah Winfrey aired Monday. Palin tells Winfrey that a presidential run in 2012 is "not on her radar."

“I am dealing with so many issues that are important to me,” she said. “What I am seeing every day is that you don’t need a title to be important.”

When asked why she resigned as Governor of Alaskas in June, Palin told Oprah: “because I wasn’t going to run for a second term” and she already felt she had become a “lame duck.”

Palin talked to Oprah about Levi Johnston, the father of her daughter Bristol's baby and said that it is "a bit heartbreaking to see the road that he is on right now."

She said Johnston hasn't "seen the baby much while he has been on his media tours" but still considers him a member of the family and says he has an "open invitation" to Thanksgiving dinner. She said she continues “to hope for the best and pray for Levi.”

When Oprah asked Palin if she felt snubbed for not getting an invitation to be on The Oprah Winfrey Show last year, Palin said, "No offense to you, but it wasn't the center of my universe."
