Perry Blasts Obama, Notes Own Job-Creating Record

DES MOINES, Iowa — Texas Gov. Rick Perry warned during an appearance in Iowa that President Obama has driven the nation's economy into a ditch, arguing that his own record as governor qualifies him to lead the way out.

"Instead of eliminating our economic crisis, he worsened it," said Perry. "Instead of addressing the debt, he exploded it." Perry told nearly 400 activists that he's created 1 million jobs while governor of Texas, all during a stretch where the nation was losing 2.5 million jobs.

Perry said he'll take his record of cutting taxes and regulation to Washington and he said the Texas rebound proves that those efforts work.

Perry was joined at a county GOP picnic by fellow candidates, Reps. Ron Paul of Texas and Thaddeus McCotter of Michigan, but Perry was getting the bulk of the attention.

Perry singled out recent comments by former Iowa governor and current Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack's that food stamps were helping to bolster the economy by getting buying power into people's hands.

"Food stamps are not a solution, they are a symbol of the problem," said Perry. "Today's leaders see it differently."

Perry sought to drive the problem home, noting that Iowa has suffered as well under the Obama administration. "Today, one in eight Iowans is on food stamps," said Perry. "That is a testament to the widespread misery created by this administration." Perry has moved near the top of most polls only a couple of weeks after announcing his decision to run for the Republican nomination. He was making his second visit to Iowa, where precinct caucuses traditionally launch the nominating season, and he has made it clear he will compete for those caucuses ...

I am a supporter of anyone who is pro American and who will get this country back on track and destroy it like all these current politicians have done. I am speaking of both parties when I say this, we have an ineligible fraud in the white house who is a Marxist puppet for the NWO types.

Correct, they have gone so far to the Right, they came back out on the Left. (Like the Buchanan supporters did in 2000.

And not destroy it like all the current politicians of both political parties. We are Republic, supposed to be a Free Republic but these scumbags in Washington are destroying our Constitution and this Republic.

You make that claim, while at the same time attack the very candidate who is everything you claim you require in a candidate.

CFR goers back to when Bush was the evil RINO who installed the New World Order, etc,,,. It stands for Campaign Finance Reform. (Very deadly you know) And has been ignored ever since.

But since they are grasping for straws to pick on, CFR is EEEvil to the core and even being untrue in regards to Perry, they will run with it no matter what is the real truth.

Is this the Council of Foreign Relations (CFR) you think Perry belongs to? Seems like lots of people are associated with the CFR. If your pants are in a wad about them, I guess you better not fly Boeing planes. Boeing is tied into the CFR. In fact, you better watch every little thing you do for the rest of your life. The CFR is going to get you!

All I have to do is look at how many babies are being murdered by this White House. Everyone he's appointed is pro-abortion and this President is all for "aborting" a baby after it's born.

That alone should make this election an easy choice for anybody who values human life and the baby's right to life.

Why do you think it is Conspiratorial to bring it up. Have you ever heard Soros calling for a NWO? Have you ever heard Bush Sr. Call for a NWO? It is not conspiracy to bring it up, just open your eyes and you will see.
