	Palin: 'More power to Rick Perry' By: Alexander Burns August 18, 2011 03:16 PM EDT
Sarah Palin, who said once again today that she's still open to a 2012 presidential bid, tells Fox News's Megyn Kelly that she's on Team Perry when it comes to the Federal Reserve: “More power to Rick Perry for calling it like he saw it, and the president in his typical reactionary way, did elevate Rick Perry and what it is that he had to say. And what Rick Perry had to say is what I wrote about 10 months ago, about quantitative easing and how monetizing our debt and printing more money in order to, essentially, devalue our dollar and devalue the problem that we’re facing today, with the debt that’s being incurred. What Rick Perry was talking about is what many of us have been talking about for many, many months, and that is the danger of, now, a QE3 program being put into place. And you know, he used some of that rascal type of rhetoric that he uses there in Texas and evidently the president took some issue to that. But it’s evidence, too, though, of our president’s arrogance, unfortunately, to tell a presidential candidate what to say, what not to say.”

the article stated that Gov. Perry got a call from Pres. Bush where he was very much encouraged to go ahead and run for Pres.!

Just to keep the record straight, Perry called Bush to wish him a Happy Birthday and asked Bush's advice on him running.

he would have defended her but the guy was being governor.

So being a governor prevents him from doing what is right? Gotcha.

I’m still convinced Sarah’s waiting to see how Rick vets under pressure from all sides.

That makes a great deal of sense to me. I don't believe she really wants to run, but will if she thinks that it's necessary in order to defeat Obama. If Perry blows up, she'll announce, if he doesn't, she'll endorse.

It creates a bit of a paradox for me, because I want them both as a team and a ticket.

I’m beginning to think that Palin is hoping to be a VP candidate, again. She would be unbeatable as a presidential candidate after serving as VP.

She would be unbeatable as a presidential candidate after serving as VP.

Agreed, with eight years of experience and still relatively young!
