Supporters of former Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin have waited patiently through more than a year of her dropping hints that she’s considering running for president, but earlier this week, Palin suggested  the job might be  too “shackle-y.”  She isn’t the type to become too beholden to any group of supporters with their purse strings tightening everytime she says or does something they don’t agree with.

“Is a title worth it?” Ms. Palin said to Fox News. “Is a title and is a campaign too shackle-y? Does that prohibit me from being out there, out of a box, not allowing handlers to shape me and to force my message to be what donors or what contributors or what political pundits want it to be?”

Palin,  former vice presidential candidate and Alaska governor, did not clearly state whether she would seek the GOP nomination for 2012.  Naturally, health care will be a big issue on the plates of all candidates who seek the nomination.  Many are critical of Obamacare because it imposes too many regulations on both the health care industry and the people who practice medicine and support services, people who have earned a master of public health degree, or better, and who should already know how best to do their jobs.

Here is a video of Palin’s recent comments on Herman Cain, among other things:
