Poor presidents always do better polling after the public has had a chance to forget about them. Even Nixon's numbers have gone way up. The only way to really compare is to look at their numbers while they were on the job....and by that standard, even at his low numbers, Obama is still far ahead of GWB.

Obama is making it easy for the numbers to improve. You bought the media spin and as usual ignored the Democrat control of Congress from 2007-2008. Not surprising

Let's see, Perry has a net jobs gain, growing labor force, a balanced two year budget vs. the Obama record? Hmmmmm, think I will choose Perry

Alot of Perry's net jobs gain is jobs moving into Texas from other states. He can't do that in Washington.

And you missed the point of what I said. I didn't say "Obama is awesome," I said if you're all concerned about Rev. Wright, you should take a look the associates of Perry and Bachmann.

I can just see his campaign slogan...."Elect me....and I guarantee minimum wage jobs for everyone across America, massive cuts to education, but unlimited corporate welfare!!!".....Yea,,, no.....I don't think that is going to sell too well.

Still waiting for you to give me the number of California minimum wage jobs and that would be with the California minimum wage. You seem to be a so called expert on TX but don't seem to know what you are talking about.

What he can do is undo the Obama anti business programs and give business the incentive to grow and hire people which he will do just like he did in TX

Really? Which state will they move from?

They don't have to move from any state, they just provide incentive to stay where they are and hire local people. Right now 25 million Americans are unemployed or under employed. No other President in modern history has ever had numbers that high. There is no incentive now for businesses to hire, the costs are potentially too high

What are those "anti-business" programs that Obama has created? Are they the reason that corporations are turning in quarter after quarter of strong profits?

Getting rid of the fairness doctrine might be one?

You really don't have a clue how to run a business or the expenses involved in running a business. Businesses right now are making strong profits because their biggest expense, payroll, is at record lows. Businesses are doing more with fewer employees. No business is ever going to expand employment under the Obama policies, too expensive and too much uncertainty. Invest your own money in a business and find out for yourself

This answer should be good.

Okay - not good in the sense of a really thorough and accurate answer - but good in the sense of off the wall extremist imagination being exercised to deny reality and economic treason.

But specifically, what are these big anti-business laws that Obama has passed? If Perry's going to change it, I'd like to know what he'll change.

Or are you buying his rhetoric?

The President will write an "R" after his name, therefore the economy will automatically boom. :roll:

Regulations and overreach by the EPA, NLRB, and of course Obamacare which is the biggest job killer due to the cost of the mandate. Then there is the uncertainty on taxes, what will small businesses be paying in the future. Businesses operate on a 5 year plan and uncertainly doesn't help employ people. Been paying any attention to the South Carolina issue with the NLRB. Stop buying what you are told and get some facts for a change

that would be a good start since Obama doesn't know how to do it. You have a better solution or do you just want to whine.

Isn't South Carolina's issue that the NLRB won't let the jobs move from Washington state? Is it Obama's job to favor one state over another?

Do a little research yourself con, it is quite easy if you are at all computer literate. You just have to go to a search engine like Yahoo or Google and do a search and you can find a lot of helpful information that will explain it for you. Don't be afraid of your computer and ask others to do it for you. Computers really aren't all that scary although your generation I know is easily intimidated.

When you do a little research you will see that Texas has the highest percentage of minimum wage jobs in the country. You will also see that a large part of the "job growth" under Perry has a lot to do with undocumented workers, which he claims to be against (can you say the hypocrisy is glaring?). You will also see that Texas has one of the highest amounts of corporate welfare given out in the country, which has been financed in large part by huge cuts in public education.

Do you really think he is going to go very far with that record?

Its simple reasoning that it is business, not government that provides jobs. The government's duty is to provide the infrastructure and climate for business to succeed...not to make laws that hinder business success.

In other words, use massive amounts of corporate welfare to lure in low paying jobs?


Where do you suppose that a President Perry is going to get the funding to hand out all this corporate welfare? What programs will he cut? Social security? Medicare?
How many Senior votes do you think Perry is going to get? You can pretty much write Florida off the electoral map....and a GOP candidate has a hard time coming up with a winning strategy that doesn't include Florida.

True enough, but I don't hear Cons calling for the ouster of CEOs for not providing jobs.

Just another BS talking point. The Government provides a large amount of jobs....in fact the government has always been the nation's largest employer.

You DO realize you are talking to a Texas conservative, right? What does all that have to do with anything? Facts, schmacks. :roll:

Perry most likely will be joining The Donald by the next news cycle. Don't waste too much time over this. The rest of the nation "gets it." Texas is big, but not THAT big. Besides, it will be a while before America forgets Bush also came from Texas. Rest easy.
