A REAL record of success to mark against obama's record of the last 2 1/2 years.

In Texas, Perry Outshines Obama - Investors.com

Quote:
Texas is one of only eight states to have seen a net gain in jobs since Obama took office, adding 64,400.
As opposed to the nation losing 2.4 million jobs since Jan 2009.

Quote:
What's more, since the recession ended in June 2009, Texas has added 298,600 jobs, accounting for 52% of U.S. net job growth.
JOBS will be THE issue for 2012 and Perry has more than a leg up on obama on that front.

Yeah, look at this;

If Perry gets in, what a great contrast he will have to tout - HIS success compared to obama's FAILURES.

Perry has a great record on jobs and a lousy record on affordable housing.

If he is elected, there will be an affordable housing crisis of unprecedented proportions, for which he will have absolutely no solution.

There WILL be an affordable housing crisis under any largescale job recovery, it's just that Perry might be the candidate least qualified to resolve it.

How many of those created jobs paid more than minimum wage?

Nothing could be worse than the housing crisis under obama.

Pardon me? The reason millions are now coming to Texas from other states is because of the State's affordable housing. I do agree with you to the extent that I don't know how much Perry has to do with housing. That's usually more of a local issue.

How funny - didn't seem to bother you the last 3 years under obama, with all his minimum wage, underemployed, did it?

40% of all jobs created in Texas - a GREAT bludgeon.

Who cares? How much someone gets paid is no business of government. NONE.

Perry also outshines Obama in the secessionist movement.

If the rednecks ever get their revolution, Perry is their man.

We've had a lot of that sentiment the last 3 years, no doubt.

That's what ruinous liberal policies will do.
