Anita Perry Says Obama Is a Socialist, Too
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, November 20, 2011, 6:34 PM
Here is an intimate look at Anita Perry from her interview with KXAN from earlier this week.
Rick Perry’s wife Anita believes Obama is a socialist, too. The former nurse and daughter of a physician points to Obama’s nationalized health care plan as evidence.
FOX News reported:
The first lady of Texas agrees with her husband Rick Perry, President Obama’s health care policies are socialist. Yes, Anita Perry went there too. “It is socialized medicine. People can call it what they want– nationalized health care, that is what it is in my opinion,” Mrs. Perry told Fox News.
In fact, Mrs. Perry says her strong feelings about health care reform are why she wanted her husband to run for president. “I don’t like socialized medicine and that’s the path we’re going. We have the greatest health care system, why would we want to change it,” Perry says.
Mrs. Perry’s background qualifies her to talk about health care. She was a practicing nurse in Texas for 17 years, working in surgery, pediatrics, intensive care, administration and teaching. She has advocated for health care issues as the governor’s wife, and has continued talking about it on the trail, making stops at hospitals and nursing schools.
When pressed on why she feels Obama’s health care policies are socialist, she points to her father, a “bed side” physician who told her, “‘the moment we take a dollar from the federal government they will tell us how to start practicing medicine.’” Perry went on to say she agrees with him that “every American should have the choice they want. To have that physician they want.”

OT AND Great sources #8
ABC News AND Rahm Emanuel. Had you not linked that little pearl of wisdom it would have surely gone unnoticed. Keep up the good work.
Scott commented:
Why limit it to Obama? Every member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus is a socialist.
Cao commented:
It’s odd how how denial works where these things are concerned. Nobody wants to dare say the word “socialist”, even though Obama took over car manufacturers, banks, etc., is doing his utmost to prevent the pipeline and drilling for our own oil; our own businesses pay the 2nd highest corporate tax rate in the entire world (and I can’t imagine that does much for business) – and government has its fingers in everything, including our private information. Nobody wants to say Obama was born in Kenya or that he wasn’t qualified to run for President, or where’s the birth certificate?…what is it, anyway? Fear? Or if you don’t acknowledge it – it isn’t happening?
Christopher Taylor commented:
What amazes me is that there’s the slighest question about this. Its patently obvious – he’s an inconsistent one, but he’s more socialist than any other category.
Christopher Taylor commented:
Oh and the only reason Rahm is attacking Romney is that Rush brought up what many of us had already noticed: Romney was the only candidate (other than Huntsman) that the press and the left wasn’t attacking. It was out in the open now, so they had to open fire to cover the blatant hope he’d win.
Katie commented:
It surprises me that people would still be in denial that he is a Socialist.
noislamocommie commented:
So what. YAWN.
Bonanza driver commented:
Kudos to both Perrys for keeping the fire on Obozo…The Republican candidates need to keep the blowtorch on the man who is dismembering this country. Stop fighting each other…
Militant Conservative commented:
Ya think!
buck johnson commented:
Let see if I am missing something. Did Pres. Obama invent Medicaid/Medicare, the Medicare Part D plan?
Texas has a horrible health care, US has telethons and bake sales to defray folks health care costs.
So we have the greatest health care system in the world. So what are we going to do with the 30 million uninsured people in the US.
RickZ commented:
Anita Perry’s wrong. Obama is not a socialist, but rather a full blown Marxist communist.
Wild Thing commented:
This was a wonderful interview of Anita Perry. Too bad apparently none of you even took the time to watch the video and listen to her. This video is Part 2 and Part 1 video is also excellent. Anita Perry is first class and will make a wonderful First Lady of our countryy.
squeaky commented:
we can call him whatever we want but at the end of the day it doesn’t make any diffference what description we use. the country is slip sliding away. the policies of big government are robbing the country of the very qualities that made it successful. over time i’ve seen a welfare policy that had the best of intentions morph into a meat grinder. it use to be an embarrassment in the past to be on government assistance but now if work you’re considered in some circles to be stupid – why work when uncle sam will pay your way…

My observation… commented:
Great lady… Sometimes I wonder if America really knows what it wants… And maybe this makes us ripe for Media to decide for us….
(This is likely to happen)
State policy is Sovereignty; not National Interests… And this tells me that USA is also ripe for losing the individuality of State’s rights… Perry would have had to use an Executive Order to over-ride Texas State’s ‘unanimous vote’ to help improve educational demographics for college-age youth; born in America, yet without a country…
Sadly, is only a matter of time before this Nation is drained by UN and EPA… Each bankrupted State, will become part of a Federation…. And Lib-Media is already eliminating Candidates who pose a threat to this specific goal….
Perry will end this…
dunce commented:
Michelle obama worked in the heath care field also in a make work show up job obtained by political influence and affirmative action. Her degree for, what it is worth, is for being a lawyer, so is her husbands, so we have a health care bill system designed and administered by lawyers and socialists. Only fools like it. How unexpected.
mcc commented:
#23 — I listened closely to this video because I heard her on another video and was not impressed – a bit turned off, even. I prefer a Laura Bush type of First Lady alongside a man with power.
In the other video I watched, she said that while her husband said he’d pray on it (re running for POTUS) she’d told him she and others were sure he should do it. That they’d “heard from the Lord”…
I’m not overly fond of women who push their husbands to do something they’re not entirely comfortable doing. Leave your man alone and trust him, for goodness’ sake! (Look where he is now. I think she has herself to blame more than any if he fails.)
For that reason, I tend to like Rick Perry more than his wife. And there are some on these threads that know I’ve criticized him. But I’ve wondered if some of the poor decisions he’s made have been because little wifey is there pushing her man, influencing him more than she should.
BarbaraS commented:
The Perrys are too kind. Obama is a communist not anything as weak as a socialist.
