Disgusting. Juan Williams Says Rick Perry Can’t Carry the Day Compared to Obama on Job Creation (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, August 28, 2011, 10:06 AM
Juan Williams has never been known for his honest analysis, but this takes the cake. Under the Obama Administration at least 3.3 million Americans have lost their job, millions of Americans gave up looking for a job and Obama’s jobs record is worst of any president since the Great Depression.
Meanwhile, Rick Perry has created more jobs in Texas than all of the rest of the states combined. But, Juan Williams trashes Perry, not Obama.
Disgusting.
It looks like this will be the 2012 democrat game plan.
Lie to the American public and hope they buy it.

Can you believe FNC pays this guy $800K a year to make these observations?
Major Kong commented:
Being a “progressive” means never letting reality get in the way of a claim you’re spewing.
GrayRider commented:
Libidiot. ‘Nuff said.
NeoKong commented:
Uh hoh geez…
You can just see the anguish in his words that Rick Perry is running.
He mentioned Tim Pawlenty with sadness in hid heart because that guy was the dullest candidate on the face of the earth.
He knows the jig is up.
Ma commented:
Juan just because you have a high paying job thanks to FNC doesn’t mean the rest of us are as fortunate. Wake up and smell the coffee!!!
Scott commented:
Juan Williams proves that he is an idiot virtually every time he opens his mouth…Another reason to not watch fox news or any other so-called news channel…While they talk, Rome burns…
Glenmore commented:
I’m pretty sure the number of people on the Federal payroll has grown substantially the last 3 years. And those tend to be well-paying jobs with great benefits too. Those are the jobs Obama gets credit for creating. The job losses in all those states are their governors’ fault (except for NY & IL &… those are just bad luck.)
zooomzooom commented:
mmmmmmmm juan likes the kool-aid…….always was, always will be LLL.
The seat at Fox fools no one. He fit right in at NPR………..
Sickofobama commented:
Fox better fire Juan.
I see his mug – I turn the channel.
He would defend Obama no matter what the circumstances.
He is a libtard that cannot separate his skin color from that of Obama.
TennDon commented:
One wonders why Fox would nor fire this bafoon for such out-right lies.
Amjean commented:
Do some research and find out how Perry created these jobs using taxpayer monies.
StrangernFiction commented:
Fox News is an absolute joke. Less of a joke than the others, of course. But still a complete joke.
tommy mc donnell commented:
juan is right, nobody not even perry can create job loss like the myth.

williams is one of obummers’ biggest *** kissers
chillguy33 commented:
Juan Williams uses his “unfair” persecution by NPR to sucker America – and Fox News is all about suckering America. Williams has no palpable Journalism skills and no palpable literary skills.
Just like Obama is the affirmative action president, Williams is the affirmative action Fox News journHOLEist.
Zilla commented:
Guano Juan is one the wrong channel, he belongs at PMSLSD. Whatever misgivings I have about Perry, he does have a terrific record for job growth, unlike Captain WTF who is an economic wrecking ball.
No Man commented:
What a maroon. ROTFLMAO
Joanne commented:
Juan Williams is a tool. You can’t compare Perry who has created private sector jobs to Obama who had only expanded government jobs at the detriment of the U.S. economy and lost millions of private sector jobs. No comparison. I can’t stand Juan anyhow. His party threw him under the bus, and he is still working for them….how stupid can you get!
Conservative Ken commented:
I just don’t understand Juan Williams. When he was thrown under the Liberal bus by NPR I thought he had an epiphany about what liberalism really is. I’m puzzled by what I see on Faux news as well. Is it becoming a moderate MSNBC clone?
Juan please remember, you were kicked to the curb by Liberals. Remember who had your back.
Crackermike commented:
Williams is black. Obama is black Perry is white. Imagine how bad America’s job situation would be without Perry’s Texas job creation, and Williams says OBAMA is the job creator? Racial hate and discrimination against Perry, period, end of story. Williams is a disgusting racist and as such sides with any black over any white on any issue.
Militant Conservative commented:
Just one black affirmative actionless hero
Defending another black affirmative actionless zero.
Trust me, flash mobs everywhere when Obama
Is voted out of WH.
Powder is dry
Patty commented:
Never really have cared one way or another for what Juan Williams has to say. But, more recently I have listen to him on Bret Bair.
Seems lately he has been really leaning left, like by in the days of NPR. They are sorry now, I would think they fired him. But if I recall Juan’s wishy washy comments were the reason he was fired.
Now, to Perry, like him or not, who would you rather see in the White House and this is not a plug for Perry, I have not decided who I will vote for but certainly not the liars and cheats in Washington, now.
USMC Thomas commented:
Over 10 years at NPR, 23 years with The Washington Post and you expect Juan to be anything less than a libtard.
Likewise, sitting in “God Damn Amerika” Wright’s church for 20 years soaking in vile racist filth doesn’t produce leaders with America’s best interests at heart.
Bill Mitchell commented:
There are two factors that increase the number of minimum wage jobs in Texas. For one, the hispanic population is more than twice the national average, many of them unskilled labor earning minimum age. Also, Texas’ population also trends very young which again, increases minimum wage jobs. Last point, I am sure Obama would LOVE to have some of those minimum wage jobs in the rest of the country as minority and youth employment craters everywhere.
The large amount of minimum wage employees also indicates that the services industry is flourishing which means prosperous people are spending their money.
As far as Texas’ +8% unemployment rate, one has to consider that, unlike the US at large, there are many more people “looking” for work in Texas which increases the unemployment rate. To compare US and Texas rates fairly, Texas would be at about 6.5% while the US would be at 11.5%. Of course, the MSM will NEVER point out these distinctions as the top line number better serves their purposes.
tommy mc donnell commented:
juan is first and foremost a racist. everything else comes in second.
#1AMERICAN commented:
that’s just plain racist JUAN
Patty commented:
Some truth about Texas. Many natural resources there. Perry is trying to lure Business there. It seems that the more the state Populates the more jobs are needed.
Minimum wage jobs or not there are Americans working. Seems for every good thing Perry has done someone as an insult for him.
But Texas in definitely doing better than 23 states. And sad for Obama, if would be another 30, as he thinks there are 57 states.
People are complaining about Perry? I hear that and I realize that some will believe all the spin. Make YOUR own decision and try to vote with coming to a conclusion that we can’t afford 4 more years of over 9% unemployment and more spending.
How did that Recovery Act work out for us.
Patty commented:
As I see it, Juan lost his job and then Fox hired him for 1 million dollars a year. So, he is sitting pretty. NOW ISN’T HE!
JoAnn commented:
When Juan comes on any of the Fox News shows, I immediately change the channel. He is a real a$$hole. I can’t even stand looking at him, and yes, I also think he is a racist.
dunce commented:
Integrity for sale or rent.
Radegunda commented:
It’s hilarious when people like Amjean say it was only because of gov’t money that Texas created jobs. Why did that gov’t money not help in other states? Did the Democrat-controlled government send a special big truckload of money to Republican Texas, which they deeply hate?
Grow a brain, Amjean. Texas creates jobs because the Texas government doesn’t see business owners as enemies or as unruly children to be disciplined and controlled.
Obama doesn’t create jobs because he hates job-creators. Same for most of the Dems.
Calamity Jane commented:
Ya think I could get a job as a Fox News contributor? I’m easily as full of BS as Juan Williams (or any of their other “expert” talking heads)…..and I’ll work for half the salary!
It is clowns like Juan and Bill O that convinced me to “pull the plug” on my satellite TV.
Patty commented:
I have seen Juan say one thing one day and another thing another day. I know if you put Obama and Perry in a debate. Who do you think would win. My bet is Perry. You could put pretty much anyone up against Obama and the other guy would win.
Perry does scare the liberals and that is just scaring the daylights out of them. They realized that JOB numbers and the economy will not change much by 2012, so, you will hear out in out lies about all the GOP contenders, this is small change compared to what is coming.
Voters are buying race card, lies and the twisting of Obama’s record. The facts and Obama’s own words will due him in this time around. Now, he does have a record, needless to say he had some past that media covered up. This time around it ain’t going to work.
Old Dude commented:
“It looks like this will be the 2012 democrat game plan.
Lie to the American public and hope they buy it.”
Actually it’s the ONLY Democrat game plan,a plan they’ve used for as long as I can remember.
L.E. Liesner commented:
Not being a NPR fan I still can understand why they fired him, this guy makes a box of rocks look smart. Fox News hired him because they needed a resident idiot. If the world was flat old Juan would have fallen off the left edge years ago.
tarpon commented:
poor little cosmic ray denier Juan. When he comes on, for some reason my TV turns off.
The guy proves he is the liberal fool we all knew he was.
Patty commented:
#34
I couldn’t agree more!!! two thumbs up!
Patty commented:
Actually, Obama is running against Congress. Seems his lackeys are telling him this would be a good strategy.
Patty commented:
He can’t run on Job Creation, He can’t run on Health Care, He can run on Economy. ALL FAIL!
Patty commented:
Was Juan’s comments worth a million?
Mark commented:
After all the conservative hoorah over Williams “conversion” after his firing (where was it? Voice of Marx? PBS?) he is still an idiot.
Craig commented:
#8 Between December 2007 and April 2011, weekly wages in the U.S. increased by about 5 percent. In the state of Texas they increased by just 0.6% over that same time period.
#11 Texas has the highest percentage of workers making minimum wage out of all 50 states.
#13 In 2007, 221,000 residents of Texas were making minimum wage or less. By 2010, that number had risen to 550,000.

Fox is going further and further left with people like Williams, Beckel, and other Lefties. I have to turn down the volume whenever these cretins appear. Its a shame that Fox has changed so much.
workingclass artist commented:
@#44
Texas has jobs & a robust economy and people that come here to live off welfare are sadly disappointed….Maybe you forgot what a robust economy looks like….
over 5000 people move here a month looking for jobs instead of living off the government whilst looking for jobs worthy of their self esteem…sheeesh!
Gas Passer commented:
You are right Serfer62. Fox scraped the bottom of the barrel when they brought on Juan an affirmative race baiting journalist. I watched him once or twice…and had enough of Juan the Obungho kisser.
orlando commented:
If it wasnt for Fox news, Juan wouldnt have a job. The left wing media that fired him.
Juan isnt fair and balanced. Everytime I see Juan on the tube, I change the channel.

Fox doesn’t have freedom of the press anymore. Obama’s threatens to fine Conservative Talk Radio 100% of their operating costs in order to fund (Dem’s allies) minority stations
or something similar. :Manchurian President.
CommieJuice commented:
Juan the always second place loser. He comes in second place in the dumbest contest on Fox, if not for Bob Beckel, Juan would be the dumbest man to unfortunately grace the screen on Fox. Juan also comes in second place in the most racist contest behind Al “resist we much” Sharpton. He is a typical pathetic lib that is only there to illustrate why we are conservatives.
Got Billy Ayers on Speed Dial commented:
Gov. Perry’s record on jobs is not as good as I first perceived.
I understand that of the estimated 1 million jobs during his years as governor, 300,000 are or were government jobs. Moreover, it is anticipated that Texas will be shedding jobs over the next two years.
Skip commented:
Juan Williams voted for Obama in 2008 and he will do so again in 2012…he is a liberal as are many folks who are employed by FOX News.
He will use his FOX pulpit to carry the water for Obama who is without a doubt the worst president in the history of our country.
As I have mentioned many time on my own blog…the election of 2012 is the most important election in the history of the United States.
aprilnovember811 commented:
Juan Williams is a racist. He sees one thing with Obama, his black half. I quit watching anything on FOX over two years ago. They’ve done nothing but enable Obama. If Obama had his white half showing more than his black half, they wouldn’t have a problem exposing Obama for what he is. They treat him as though he’s a president, when he’s a resident. FOX isn’t a serious place to get the truth anymore. They don’t treat Obama fairly, they treat him with more respect than he deserves. He’s a former drug using bum.
Craig commented:
“Proof is in the economy. Perry has been there done that” (#46).
“Texas has jobs & a robust economy” (#50))
Yeah… sure! Check these facts:
#2 The debt of the state of Texas is out of control. According to usdebtclock.org, the debt to GDP ratio in Texas is 22.9% and the debt per citizen is $10,645. In California (a total financial basket case), the debt to GDP ratio is just 18.7% and the debt per citizen is only $9932. If Rick Perry runs for president these are numbers he will want to keep well hidden.
#3 The total debt of the Texas government has more than doubled since Rick Perry became governor. So what would the U.S. national debt look like after four (or eight) years of Rick Perry?

Juan Williams Says Rick Perry Can’t Carry the Day Compared to Obama on Job Creation
When it comes to promoting job creation, Rick Perry couldn’t conceivably be as bad as Obie.
Scott commented:
O/T I know but…I was just contemplating that Americans earned a AAA credit rating in 1917…Less than 150 years after the declaration of independance, this nation joined the ranks of world powers with a gold plated credit rating…Our free economy went on to surpass all the world economies. World economies that had thousands of years to get it right. Our nation beat them all…What is astounding is that in 1917 we didn’t have a Federal income tax, we didn’t have tens of thousands of bureaucrats in Washington, we didn’t have a dept of Education, dept of Energy, HUD, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or nearly all of the agencies in Washington…Now fast forward less than a hundred years. Now, the Federal government is the world’s largest bureacracy. It is the United States largest employer. They are spending nearly 40% of our GDP. They have their collective noses in everything from the food we eat to the air we breath. They have ransacked our Treasury and have lost our coveted credit rating. All in less than 100 years since they strayed from the vision of the founding fathers…
Scott commented:
Juan Williams masquerading as a journalist on Fox news means that some cheap restaurant is going without bus-boy…That’s a shame!
Smarty commented:
Did he actually say this? If so it is exactly what we need the GOP frontrunner to be selling. Get Palin or Bachmann for VP, and they guy is in:

raugaj commented:
Keep in mind that Texas added 700k people to their population and still brought unemployment down. That means quite a bit. On top of that, thousands of professional recipients were relocated to the Houston area after Katrina and they will NEVER be employed (by their choice).
California sent a contingent to see how Texas was doing it and, when they saw that it was with tax cuts and creating a business friendly environment, they went home laughing- th a very broke ass state.
MN8 commented:
They are ALL commie/UN lapdogs.
Meg commented:
Juan Williams and Alan Combs would defend a democrat politician if they killed their puppies. Demodummies to the core.
Craig commented:
“… when they saw that it was with tax cuts…” (#68)
#5 Rick Perry claims that he has a “track record” of not raising taxes. That is a false claim. Rick Perry has repeatedly raised taxes and fees while he has been governor. Today, Texans are faced with significantly higher taxes and fees than they were before Rick Perry was elected.
#6 Even with the oil boom in Texas, 23 states have a lower unemployment rate than Texas does.

Yeah…It was in his announcement speech and he repeats it on the stump as he explains The Texas Way and his policies to people when he meets them. The formula is simple and flexible for application to any state and their ways….All it takes s the political will of the people and the political will of a president who will shrink the government and return as much power to the states as is possible.
That’s why both the left and the right are gunning for him.
Craig commented:
@ workingclass artist
You get Perry and you will lose your country. You think Obama is bad? You haven’t seen nothing yet. He is the globalist candidate like Obama was… the two best friends of Wall Street criminals. Good luck! And after the housing bubbles, Texas builds houses… wow… how clueless can someone gets? When USA will die with Rick Perry, you can come to Canada, we are doing quite well financially.
Girlyman commented:
WOW! Is that ever funny! My remote does the same thing when Juan comes on. Bye, bye Fox. Is it just the racist in me, but it seems that the black culture in general will never get over the fact that they are black and nothing in heaven or earth is going to change that.
AuntieMadder commented:
FYI the Texas legislature and governor have to get creative when it comes to raising revenues because we don’t have a state income tax in Texas.
Since I brought it up anyway, the lack of a state income tax is also why Texans are willing to work minimum wage jobs. That’s not to say that minimum wage is a livable wage in Texas, but it’s a larger take home pay than in most other states. With the lower cost of living and no state taxes coming out of paychecks, minimum wage living in Texas isn’t as hard as minimum wage living is in other states.
One of the reasons that Texas gets by without a state income tax is because Texas doesn’t have state welfare. This also means that mooches don’t migrate to Texas as they do for – say – California for the state freebies. There are no state freebies.
Texas really is a whole ‘nother state.
rasqual commented:
I don’t think Juan or his remarks are disgusting. I’ve listened to Juan for a long time, and he’s an intelligent enough feller. Hearing some of the crazy things he says in defense of Obama, I’m mostly just baffled beyond belief. Is it race loyalty? If so, that’s some deeply buried stuff for Juan. Is it delusional hope? Well, join the crowd of hold-outs who can’t quite admit they were rubes.
Craig commented:
@ AuntieMadder (#82)
Yes, we have the same thing in Canada with the province of Alberta. Like Texas, Alberta has a lot of oil and no provincial taxes. It’s doing very well. But, contrary to Texas, Alberta has the highest salaries in the country. It’s a good thing that Alberta doesn’t have Rick Perry to govern the province.

I agree with you JoAnn. I cannot stand the quy either. He goes from one Fox news show to the next like a bouncing ball(screwball). Likewise, I can’t stand to look at him. TURN CHANNEL.
Jerry commented:
Fox News is “Fair and Balanced”. I would call it unfair and unbalanced. The only thing media mogul Murdock is interested in is money. If he can con stupid conservatives into believing that Fox is anything more than Murdock’s money making machine pity those that listen to the crap put out by Williams and others on Fox.
burt commented:
The people at FOX donnated more money to the campaign of John Kerry than to George Bush in the 2004 election. Is that a surprise to anyone?

When Juan is ever fired or let go by Fox News, will he play that race card? I think Juan would play the race card.
