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."

Years ago, my company had managers post signs that said, ‘I am responsible for everything that happens or fails to happen in my zone of responsibility’.
When it goes bad, we have to accept the blame, so when it’s good we also get the credit.
Obama gets the blame; Perry gets the credit.
“Ronald Reagan dispatched Rick Perry to take care of a “situation” in Kafeekistan.”
Axelrod said this two or three days ago. If you search Rick Perry today, the top links are now that he held a prayer service. The dems are all over the news boards and the best they can come up with is that he from Texas (like Bush), he prays, and he is patriotic! Seems the idea of attacking Perry for Texas’ fortune was even too ludicrous for the dems to keep chanting on the internet.
OK....so anything good that happens in this country can’t be attributed to Obama? Interesting.
She needs to be honest with the American people.
She’s not speaking the same language as the rest of us. Yes, she is speaking English. But her definitions of words and concepts are so different from what they mean to the rest of us, that it almost renders it a whole different language.
When someone thinks that unemployment benefits is an economic stimulas, then they are not speaking the same language as the rest of us.
Thats just one example.

i wish the pubie party would put a lot of money into wasserman’s opponent and get rid of schultz.
“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. “
Good point, they might still think Romney is viable. I wrote him off months ago. He’s still there, but he’s looking like such a dork that I don’t see him getting any traction. But the MSM might still be trying to clear the field for Romney...who is still much worse than Perry.
This is a person who has taken student financial aid to it’s extremes. Her entire College years (BA, MA-Poly Sci special emphasis on, and Certificate for, Political Campaigning) and the next three years as a Federally funded student intern for Rep. Peter Deutsch, another New York transplant in Florida. She has NEVER held a private sector job. She has been very active on nearly every extreme Left position since High School. She’s a proven lair.
Why waste money ? She is in a safe Dim district and she is utterly hideous to hear and see on the tele ... i hope they keep her where she’s at so she can keep scaring the so-called independents into the arms of Republicans ...
can someone please explain how rising oil prices create jobs???
Does she have head lice?
The nation's only living blow up sex doll.
Like a stopped watch being correct twice a day...here’s the MSM actually treating DWS like she was a Republican. AMAZING FAIR AND BALANCED FOR A CHANGE!!!!

Will the idiocy ever stop spewing forth from WassermanIdiot’s lips?! =.=
She-dog is clueless as usual.
Don’t feel sorry for her. She actually thought the old bulls were “rewarding” her. and they had magically became feminist supporters.
Little did she know that she was actually the sacrificial goat. None of the old boys wanted the stain of this election bloodbath on their hands.
Bah Bye Debbie. Your going to be sent to the Dummie wasteland by the end of Nov 2012.
The reasoning(?) behind it is, the higher gas prices go up the more expensive it is to manufacture overseas because of the increase in shipping charges to get their products to consumers in the US. Thomasville furniture is 1 such company that is bringing their wood furniture plant back to North Carolina from China. So technically, Obama doesn’t have anything to do with creating jobs either unless he’s somehow manipulating oil prices
