DNC chair: Texas economy no credit to Perry
By Lucy Madison
(CBS News)
One day after Texas Governor Rick Perry announced his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination, Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz hammered Perry's record on job creation and accused him of making "inaccurate" comments about President Obama's economic accomplishments.
Wasserman Schultz, speaking on CBS' "Face the Nation," told Norah O'Donnell that she was "incredibly proud" of Mr. Obama's efforts at turning the economy around - and argued that Perry does not deserve credit for Texas' strong job creation record.
Texas's unemployment rate is 8.2 percent, about one point less than the national average, and 40 percent of the nation's new jobs since June 2009 are in Texas, though many are low-wage.
"There is a dramatic contrast with the governor of Texas" when it comes to his record versus the president's on job creation," Wasserman Schultz said. "Not the least of which is that it is extremely difficult for him to deserve credit for that job creation when you have rising gas prices that created oil jobs that he had nothing to do with, when you had military spending as a result of two wars that created military jobs that he had nothing to do with, when you have the Recovery Act championed by President Obama that created jobs in Texas that he had nothing to do with."
She continued: "So it is way overblown to suggest that the job creation in Texas is squarely on the shoulders of [Perry's] policies."

So if we are to believe her... 0bamunism works in Texas, but virtually nowhere else? LOL
I never thought the Dems would find a chair more politically tone deaf then Howie Dean.
Seems I was wrong.
I actually feel bad for her.
Her job is to try to sell the “success” of Obamaism. No easy task
Where there is good economic News under the leadership of a Republican its NOT due to their leadership, and where there is horrible economic news its of no accountability that its under Democrat Party leadership...if the DNC is nothing else it is consistent about this.
All this BS will come to a halt when the citizen vote in 2012.
Only the Kool-aid drinkers will but the DNC line, the rest will be anxious to vote in someone who can help them get a job.
Even if it were the case that Perry had nothing at all to do with economic growth in Texas, he would at least deserve credit for staying the hell out of the way and letting industry prosper. The asshat in the Whitehouse has done nothing but put up more obstacles, penalties and disincentives to business and then has the gall to complain that the business community is the real problem.
Interesting that the Dems are keying in on Perry, now. Something tells me they really him to be their opponent.
So based on this source and her track record, Perry is principally responsible for the growth of the Texas Economy. Wah Hoo!
Debbie Wasserman Schultz: A village idiot elected by a village of idiots.
(Some Freeper partially has this as a tagline....but I don’t remember who. Great tagline!)
How's that Hopey-Changey, dipsh*t?
Cheers!
Meanwhile, I thought, Are Obama's "NO WAGE" jobs better?
And Norah O’Donnell’s response was . . . ?
Debbie Wasserman Schultz: A village idiot, who a villige of idots elected, so that she would be away from the village most of the time.
Texas has done better then any blue state. Wonder why?
Perry scares them ... they got caught flatfooted as most of their op-research was geared towards Romney ...
Not to mention it was paid for with trillions in borrowed dollars that we still have to pay back, even though we not only have nothing to show for it, but need to borrow more money to keep from defaulting.
No, wait.
Yep, yep, yep, they be scared.
Again, I throw out real Rick Perry Facts that the op-research for the DNC missed.

Wow! DNC... aren’t they the ones calling this the Tea Party Depression?
Well, you left a verb or two out of that sentence. Assuming that missing part was was "don't want", I'd agree. Their response is telling.
CNN talks like he's Barry Goldwater's love child. Kos and MSNBC think he has horns and cloven hooves. You'd never see this kind of hate coming against their boy Romney.
