GREAT AD! Rick Perry: “Obama’s Socialist Policies Are Bankrupting America” (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, November 16, 2011, 3:55 PM
WOW!… Great ad, Rick!
Rick Perry slams Obama for calling Americans lazy; says it’s time to clean house.
“Obama’s socialist policies are bankrupting America.”
The Obamedia will not like this one bit.
CBS already released a rebuttal.
Rick Perry’s presidential campaign is out with a new ad, “Lazy,” attacking President Obama for his comment that Americans have “been a little bit lazy I think over the last couple of decades.”
After video of the president making that comment is shown in the ad, Perry, standing outside in a casual shirt, addresses the camera. “Can you believe that?” he says. “That’s what our President thinks wrong with America? [sic] That Americans are lazy? That’s pathetic.” (Perry appears to have omitted an “is” from his comments.)
Perry goes on to say “it’s time to clean house in Washington,” an argument that squares with his recent call to overhaul all three branches of government, a proposal that includes making being a member of Congress a part-time job.
“It’s time for a Balanced Budget Amendment that forces Washington to stop overspending,” Perry goes on to say. “If Congress balks, cut their pay and send them home.”
He then complains that “Obama’s socialist policies are bankrupting America,” adding: “We must stop him now.”The Perry campaign says the 30-second spot is airing on national cable and on broadcast television in Iowa; CBS News saw it on Fox News Wednesday afternoon.
The ad marks the latest foray in the Perry campaign’s effort to reboot the Texas governor’s candidacy after a string of poor debate performances – capped off by the now-infamous “oops” moment – that have helped drive down his standing in the polls.

Reasons why you should not vote for Rick Perry
He…
Supports a bi-national healthcare plan
More than doubled TX govt debt
Repeatedly raised taxes and fees in TX
Supported tarp bailout
Is soft on illegal immigration – won’t build border fence
Gave in state tuition to illegal immigrants
Supports big government – Increased government spending from 49 billion to 90 billion as governor as well as trying to use government authority to force young girls to be drugged
Implemented Islamic propaganda in public schools
Supported Hillary Clinton’s “reform” of health care system
You are not a conservative if you support Perry and Romney.

Sky,
You’re also not a conservative if you think that Perry wouldn’t be a 1000% improvement over what we have now as POTUS.
Spider commented:
Don’t need lecture whether I’m conservative or not, thank you.
Just watch the spot and enjoy, then when the expected riccochet from the Lib-stream media happens, enjoy some more.
KornKing commented:
Anyone who would vote for Obama over Rick Perry is an idiot.
MikeSilver commented:
He used the “S” word. Does Senator McAmensty know?
Dr K commented:
Even a longtime political observer politics cannot help being taken aback by the increasingly obvious bias of the MSM with respect to a Marxist officeholder bent on destroying the American experiment, starting with its constitutional framework and market-fueled economic engine.
Indeed, the sheer audacity–to borrow from Messrs Obama and Wright–of CBS’s snarky rejoinder to a political ad it evidently views as an affront to the socialist savior they’ve been waiting for is more than a little disturbing. For here we have a network, a supposed vehicle of free expression, doing its bit to put a halter (freighted with Alinsky-style ridicule) on the political speech of a party they wish, by all means, to marginalize.
Rock commented:
About time a Republican used Obama and Socialism in the same sentence. Seems most are too dammed scared to call him what he and his supporters really are. That in itself is worth giving the man a second look.
Hobbitually conservative commented:
OOOH, Sky, tell me who I should vote for and I’ll make a note of it. There’s still a little room in my shredder.

At 3:00 pm eastern time today, the national debt hit the $15,000,000,000,000 mark. Since then we are already at $15,000,255,000,000 and climbing fast. Meanwhile, the idiots in Congress cannot agree on cutting one trillion over the next ten years when spending will increase by $9,000,000,000,000 if we don’t collapse first.
Joel commented:
I would vote to leave the Office unoccupied for 4 years than vote for ‘Nobama’.
It’s too early commit, just stay away from the media bias and don’t let the MSM pick our candidate.
cal rifkin commented:
Perry’s ad is a solid B+. His message hits the most important thing…and is directed at the opposition, not the other candidates…The pubs’ base will like that.
jd commented:
I heart Rick Perry. In that ad, especially, he talks like an American speaking to an American. He is what America needs. Straight talker and a good record to judge him by. And none of his views are new. He has had the same views all of his life. That is important.
waicool commented:
cool political ad. i don’t see the big deal about CBS’s writeup though. Using “complain” may be a jab but from my perspective at least CBS acknowledged the ad and gave it exposure.
listingstarboard commented:
Republicans better give up on finding the “perfect blemish free candidate” because there is no human being alive that will measure up. One reason alone to vote for Perry –he had the BALLS to institute TORT REFORM. When will AMericans get sick and tired of lawyers mucking up this country???????For goodness sake Perry is an ALL AMERICAN patriotic fiscal conservative. And people sure as hell better WISE UP about immigration and the border, easy for those of you living away from the borders to bash Perry but HE LIVES IT EVERYDAY. Perry would be a fabulous president, light years better than Romney.

Slow him down. A real ass whoopin is coming.

Perry’s ad is spot on. Does anyone really care anymore what CBS says?

Perry appears to have omitted an “is” from his comments.
Nice editing Perry camp.

So CBS is now the official press office for the Obama regime? That article simply reeks of journalistic malfeasance. It reads as if Valerie Jarrett wrote it.
Perry gets applause from me on this one. We need more plain speaking like that coming from our side.
Liz commented:
OK Perry is not even my second, but this ad makes him look very, very attractive.

Go Perry!
owl commented:
Sky………..give it up. That’s nuts.
I have been watching Perry ads for a couple of weeks. It is a shame he is such a poor debater. These ads are very, very good and I don’t usually say that about any Repub ad.
You know, they ran Obama’s voice as ads back in 2004. Only a voice. I knew that darn voice was going to run for president in 2008 and probably win. He brainwashed them, especially the Professional MSM Pooper-Scoopers.

Nice try but I’m voting Ron Paul. I hate the TSA and so does RP. I hate gov intrusion into my life and so does RP. I hate the USA financial support of all the other countries but our own causing US debt to implode and so does RP. I hate to borrow from China to support other countries and so does RP.
I hate open borders and so does RP. RP will secure the borders, close TSA, support the needy at home and forget about policing the world. RP will not allow this crock of sh*t of deathcare rationing bill to go through. He’ll keep us in top quality health care and keep social security going.
That’s my story (and RP’s) and I’m sticking to it.
What a relief it would be not to have an inexperienced liar in the whitehouse who has never held a real job.
Most people don’t even know what socialism is so nice try. It sounds like a nice word. Obama is not a socialist. He is a collectivist, namely Islamo/Fascist. IF he was honest he would admit it, but he is a bona fide serial liar. Oh, and he is the LAZY

Yeah Rick, but you are just an ILLEGAL immigrant lover and I won’t support you because I want it to be ILLEGAL to be ILLEGAL. I want illegals deported and a highly technological fence built all around the US. And no offense but this Constitutional Conservative agrees with Bob fricking Beckel on this one: The reason for low unemployment in TX was the OIL industry which I was a part of. You allowed it and that was a good move. But I don’t know how you will govern as president as far as free markets go. Deport ILLEGALS and build a fence or I won’t vote for you…….and I married to a LEGAL Mexican.

Obama has listed the building of the Hoover damn as an achievement when Americans weren’t lazy, but if that project went ahead today, the environmentalists and the nutjob leftards in Washington would have shut it down. Here Obama stops the pipeline from Canada that would creat one million jobs, and he lectures Americans on being lazy. I can’t tell you what I’d like to do to his teeth.

You do know you’re using Romney talking points don’t you? Governoe perry said on Greta he would shut down the borders in one year if elected President. You have to understand our border is the Rio Grande River and it is not feasible or practical to build a contiguous fence. Not to mention how unfair it would be to force land owners on the border to comply. Also, the Feds are what blocks proper border control and heavy influx of illegal immigrants in Texas. This year the Texas Congress passed voter ID and the Feds. are now trying to block that. Believe me, EVERYONE in Texas wants our border shut down. It’s
It’s okay, if you don’t want my Governor, I get that everyone’s sick of the whole “Texas” thang. I get it. Just quit telling lies about him. (It’s bad enough that the MSM do it. sigh.) Send him on home because he’s doing a damn good job as Governor in Texas.
Patty commented:
Great Ad. And Perry is no debater and admits it. But for all his money and ads, Obama will mop up the floor in debates with him.
owl commented:
I just get sick of that crap #38 is spouting. She needs to tell us who exactly has fixed this problem at any point. Tell us how she helped it when Bush brought it up. Am I better off with any of this 100% attitude I have to listen to?
We live with 1/3 of our huge state of Texas populated with mexicans. Some are illegal. We have not turned blue on that voter map………………yet……………..but some of you people are sure not helping the problem. You WANT us to turn blue? You going to force us to turn blue because of your perfection requirements for the problem? We didn’t just wake up one morning needing a little help. We have dealt with it as best we can and most of us sure as heck do not like it. You think we like it???????? Are we CA??????
The government/courts have fought us every step of the way. We pay taxes to send them to school and put our millions on YOUR border. HELP us, ole ye wise ones.
Until you can vote in a solution that will get around the current laws, get rid of the judges, etc, would you give us poor 1200 miles of border residents a break?
KornKing commented:
#24-that depends on what the meaning of the word “is” is
Patty commented:
Many Americans believe Obama is a Socialists. I really don’t see anything that brilliant in the ad.
What makes it a good ad is, Perry is speaking clearly.
Hope he can speak clearer in the Debates.

Teleprompters aren’t allowed during the debates & Perry would have plenty of time to get better.
Obama can’t match Perry’s Jobs record.
EricThe99 commented:
Thanks for some laughter people. I am quite sure by reading your comments, most of you folks here aren’t quite clear what Socialism is or a Marxist is. Do you have any understanding that your hyper right views and hard stance against working together with the left is what’s really tearing they country apart? That all this hate speak about “Liberals” and anyone else you dislike shows the worst of America? I didn’t serve in the military so idiots could tear apart that which I tried to help defend. Please ponder before you speak, and try to think about what spewing poison does but feed into more of the same on both sides.
unknown jane commented:
Nice ad…does he do anything besides repeat talking points like a trained seal?
Sorry, but I cannot understand the Perry fixation, still. I have tried, have come up with some ideas as to why it happens (the populist appeal being the primary one), but in the end: if this is the GOP nominee, you will lose. He may get a large percentage of the base, but that will not be enough — and he will only get the base because he, as a canidate, is very vulnerable to attack from the Obama camp (even moreso than Romney — yes, that’s right, I said it; the GOP would stand a better chance with Romney than with Perry).
And yes, I can list the reasons why this would likely be so.

Carolina Kathy commented:
Rick Perry is Obama’s dream opponent. The Washington Post has already labeled him (unfairly) as a racist, but being Southern (as am I) there is already that unfair stigma; people are willing to believe that accusation on his origins and accent alone. His stance on illegal immigration and benefits for same is indistinguishable from McCain’s and will garner even less votes.
Sorry. Perry is unelectable given his history – fair or unfair – that’s a big problem for him. Debate performances aside, he has insurmountable problems that go far deeper.
Votemout2012 commented:
#43 Yeah I’m sure Obama will mop the floor with Perry in the debates. Thats what I base my vote on is debate skills. I am sure no one will be smart enough to look at eldumbo record of steady decline of our country. The american ppl aren’t smart enough to look at Perry’s plan for our economy, energy and Washington reform and see it beats anything Obama has done over the last 3yrs. Yeah if Perry wins the Primary Obama will walk away with this thing. What rubbish.
Concernedvet commented:
Frighteningly ignorant posts on this site. I am beginning to understand how Texas got the reputation as the only state that could make Mississippi look like an educational mecca. Hope Perry is the nominee; that will guarantee an Obama victory. Got to love a state in which 50% of the population has no dental insurance, 25% has no health insurance, the high school graduation rate is among the nation’s lowest and the big job boom provided mostly minimum wage jobs. Never mind the fact that the Governor has been handing out briefcases full of money to his friends in the name of job creation for a decade and the trumpeted deregulation is setting the stage for Texas to become a great toxic wasteland. I hope he runs on his record. Great model for the country. Hope you folks continue to give money and time to the Perry cause. Thank you.
