Governor Perry's speech includes some insight on how Texas, under his leadership, has been the recipient of the following awards and blessings:

1. Named the top state for growth and development for 7 years in a row by CEO Magazine,

2. Led the nation in exporting for 9 years running, exports being up 27% since 2009 alone,

3. Won the 2010 Governor's Cup for having the most new and expanded corporate facilities in the country,

4. Added 4.2 million more people to the state between 2000 to 2010, Named our nation's "Top Move-to Destination" for the past 6 years,

and

5. During the last two years, Texas has had 40% of the net new jobs created in the US. While this state has only 8% of the country's population, 40% of all net new jobs were in Texas.

Perry’s main problem is that he will be associated with Bush. The dims will keep pounding the “we-can’t-afford-another-governor-from-Texas” meme.

Thanks for posting the video. I heard about the speech but wanted to hear it and not just the pulled quotes.

Perry is always better in context, with the flow and style of his speech -- he paints a picture -- he's sincere.

Students have put together a video about Perry (Not like the Van Jones- Move-On Obama) 3:34 YouTube Video: IT'S TIME FOR RICK PERRY

Here is an article that best shows the stark difference between Perry and Obama, by a British report who visited Paint Springs, TX. Rick Perry:the Paint Creek boy who would be king

Just like the speech you posted, his article about Perry just makes you feel GOOD.
