Palin Says Reagan Would See Health Law With ‘Outrage’

Sarah Palin, a potential 2012 presidential candidate, said the U.S. is in a "critical point" as the Obama administration carries out policies leading to the "decline and defeat."

"If President Reagan were alive today," the hills of California "echo outraged" by the enactment of the reform of health of President Barack Obama said at the Reagan Ranch Center in Santa Barbara, California.

The 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate and former governor of Alaska gave the keynote address Feb. 4 in a tribute Young America's Foundation to mark the birth centenary of former President Ronald Reagan, February 6, 1911.

Palin, 46, focused on a speech Reagan gave in 1964 on behalf of Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater, in which he spoke of the dangers of high taxes and government regulations.

"We face the same choices now as it did then, but now we are in even worse shape," he said. He urged the federal spending cuts, review of social assistance programs for future beneficiaries and regulation of the reduction of government.

"The government created the problem, now the government is presented as the solution trying to convince us that we can win the future," said Palin, referring to an issue of Obama's January 25 State of the Union.

Decline and loss

"We must look beyond the horizon, as Reagan did," he said. "We have to see where these policies ultimately wrong end and that is in decline and defeat."

In an interview with Christian Broadcasting Network yesterday threw out after the speech, Palin said the crisis in Egypt, the "3 am White House phone call," referring to a campaign ad questioning the national security credentials led Obama by then-rival Hillary Clinton, now secretary of State during the 2008 campaign, Democratic primary.

"It seems that the call went right to voicemail," said Palin. "We need to know what America stands for what we know who it is that America will stand. And we have that information yet."

Palin left the door open to a 2012 presidential bid, said in the interview that she was running to "continue along the same path" to fight for "common sense conservative Americans."

Reagan Relationship

Like many Republican politicians, Palin said she felt a kinship with Reagan.

"As one of Alaska, I probably consider myself a conservative western in the spirit of Ronald Reagan," he told the audience of about 200 donors to the foundation.

Republican strategist Frank Donatelli, a former adviser to the Reagan White House, Republican politicians said "all who profess Reagan is an important element in his political education." Reagan, who died in 2004, "was a successful conservative president in a way that previous Republican presidents if not," he said.

From running with Arizona Sen. John McCain in the Republican presidential ticket, Palin has become a favorite Tea Party movement, a loose coalition of fiscally conservative voters.

Palin was the choice of Republican voters for the second nod in a game in 13 to 16 of the Washington Post-ABC News, which receive 19 percent of respondents and trailing former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, for only 2 points. In an NBC / Wall Street Journal poll of Republican voters and independents held the same week, Palin placed third, four points behind Huckabee and 5 of 19 behind former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney points.
