Team Obama: Perry Record a Carbon Copy of DC Republicans (Except He Created Half Jobs in US Since 2009)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, August 13, 2011, 2:34 PM
It’s going to be very difficult for President Downgrade, the worst president since the Great Depression, to battle Governor Rick Perry (R-TX) on his record.
Between June 2006 and June 2011, only nine states plus Washington, DC added any net new non-farm jobs. Of those states over that period, Texas added 2.75 times more new jobs than the others combined. (Willisms)
So you’ll have to excuse democrats for having such a week response to the news today.
Team O says Governor Rick Perry is a carbon copy of DC Republicans.
The Hill reported:
Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s (R) record is a “carbon copy” of Washington Republicans, President Obama’s reelection campaign said of the newest candidate for the GOP presidential nomination.
The Obama campaign sought to lump Perry together with the Tea Party, and charged that his economic record as governor, about which he often brags, is not being what it seems.
“Governor Perry’s economic policies are a carbon copy of the economic policies of Washington Republicans,” said Ben LaBolt, the Obama campaign’s press secretary.
LaBolt pointed to Perry’s endorsement of the “Cut, Cap and Balance” approach to addressing the debt-ceiling that many of the other presidential candidates had backed. That plan passed the House, but failed to make its way through the Senate.
“That’s the same approach he took in Texas, where middle class families know his economic record is no miracle – it’s a tall tale,” LaBolt said. “Governor Perry allowed special interests to write their own rules, hired corporate lobbyists to oversee corporations, and cut funding for programs that would create opportunity for middle class families.”

Dems and Zero are running scared. They got nothing. The whole campaign will be attack mode. They cannot run on his record. Perry 2012 – the anti-Obama.
Bill Mitchell commented:
You can expect Team Obama to come out saying, “Oh boy, Perry, he is going to be so easy for us to beat…” But inside they are thinking, “Oh f***ing sh*t, Perry!”
If Obama (the man who accomplished nothing) cxan beat Perry, he really is magic.

During Sarah Palin’s governorship (December 2006 – July 2009)
· Alaska ranked 2nd in the nation for job growth.
· Alaska ranked 3rd in the nation for change in the unemployment rate relative to the national average.
During Rick Perry’s governorship (December 2000 – May 2011)
· Texas ranked 4th in the nation for job growth.
· Texas ranked 23rd in the nation for change in the unemployment rate relative to the national average.
The total numbers are skewed because some states have much larger populations.
During Sarah Palin’s tenure as governor,
• Alaska ranked 4th in the nation in GDP growth.
• Alaska ranked 4th in the nation in per capita GDP growth.
During Rick Perry’s tenure as governor,
• Texas ranked 10th in the nation in GDP growth.
• Texas ranked 27th in the nation in per capita GDP growth.
During the fiscal years for which Sarah Palin exercised budgetary authority as Governor of Alaska (FY08 through FY10)
• Debt outstanding increased 12.7%, or 4.2% per year
• Per capita debt outstanding increased 7.4%, or 2.5% per year
• Total liabilities decreased 34.6%, or 11.5% per year
• Total liabilities per capita decreased 37.7%, or 12.6% per year
During the fiscal years for which Rick Perry exercised budgetary authority as Governor of Texas (FY02 through FY10)
• Debt outstanding increased 184.2%, or 20.5% per year
• Per capita debt outstanding increased 140.4%, or 15.6% per year
• Total liabilities increased 60.6%, or 6.7% per year
• Total liabilities per capita increased 35.8%, or 4.0% per year
She decreased liabilities. He increased them.

Obama will try to smear his opponent whoever it is. Obama is a disaster from top to bottom and he knows he can’t run on his record.
MaxTruth commented:
Perry didn’t create any jobs, but he and the Texas legislature had the sense to not burden businesses with unnecessary regulations and taxes.

Watch the Obama cockroaches leave their trails on the newsroom floors.
Grab a broom — it’s gonn’a get messy.

The only jobs that count to the dems are government jobs. If you aren’t growing government jobs then you aren’t growing anything of import to them.

And what is Obowma’s record????
Vero commented:
The talking points is that Perry had nothing to do with all the job creation in Texas. OK, let’s let’s play their game – let’say the Perry didnt create one single job while in Texas, not single one – Job creation still went up as he did not get in the way of business after he was elected
Now let’s play the same game with the same rules for ‘the won” when he came into office, there are now 1.9 Million Fewer Americans with Jobs Today Than When Obama Signed Stimulus.
So when you go into the polling booth and it is between
1) Rick Perry
2) Barack Obama
Who are you really going to pull the lever for. Just asking

not what
[And then there's the elephant in the room: Texas' debt problem. In the
2010 governor's race, Democrat Bill White pointed out that Texas' debt has
doubled under Perry. Since 2001, according to the Star-Telegram's Mitchell
Schnurman, Texas' debt has grown at a faster rate than that of the U.S.
government. Perry assumed office in December 2000.]

“We can change this country, but it requires
our giving it to HIM and letting HIM guide US”
no no no
i do not want to live in a country where “religion rules the roost”..
i believe we have way too many of those in the ME, not to mention
our own version via the Farrakhans, Wrights, Jackson & Sharptons

Aside from the disaster of Egobama as a president; Obama is a girly-man and Perry is a real man. No further consideration required.

Welcome to Mr. Perry!
Good luck to all in the Straw Poll.
If Perry is a lot like Ryan, Boehner, Pence, Bachmann, etc., then he is going to do well, and many Americans are going to be thrilled to see someone like a DC Republican take the failed Obama’s place in the White House.
Democrats are growing even more irrational and desperate. They have a disastrous record to run on, so they will try to demean all others to save themselves.
Perry’s record is good, but TEXAS produced those jobs – and a lot of the Texas success is a product of GW Bush’s fine tenure/leadership for two successful terms. Perry inherited a very healthy situation in Texas, and did well not to screw it up. He is a quality candidate and definitely adds to the Race.
GOP is looking good for 2012, and we have to do the job.

#4, Dan, your figures are misleading. Even on the Palin website you linked, it show that Palin’s GDP to capita chart peaks at the beginning of 2008 and goes down rapidly until the lines end, mid-2008. That does’t take into consideration the major downturn in the economy in September/October, 2008.
Perry’s lines go all the way through the end of 2010.
The other charts do not give the year, only where they came from.
I think they are misleading. I know the GDP to capital chart doesn’t reflect the recession.

Think maybe you would have grown tired of repeating that same link over and over. Anyone linking to it knows by now you’re linking your own comments from several threads back.

In spite of Barck “Tutu” Obastard’s money, in spite of the commie slimestream media, in spite of George “Moriarty” Soros’s corruption, in spite of Eric Holder and his attempts to turn this country into another South Africa, and in spite of the mechanized corruption and fraud of the rat party, Rick Perry WILL be the next president of the United States. Why? The answer is simple: because he’s an AMERICAN and will put people back to work.
Oh, the hue and cry from the left will be epic and the spin against Perry will be record-breakingly imaginative. Taken altogether, the money poured into defeating him will easily run into 10-digits. But, in the end, he has the record to bring REAL hope and REAL results to this country, and that trumps anything obastard has on the table.
