Hey move to Texas where we have created more jobs than the rest of the 49 states combined.

So should we give the Democratic Governors of Texas in the '70s and '80s credit for the oil boom jobs? I think not. Jobs are going to be created in Texas regardless of who is in office, thanks to Texas' location, natural resources, power grid, the history of corporations in Texas, the many universities of Texas, and other factors that have nothing to do with the governor.

The jobs thing is funny. I saw somebody praising Electronic Arts for hiring more people in Austin and Perry was in front of the camera trying to take credit. Electronic Arts was the same company that bought up some Austin game companies and moved them to California back in the 1990s and early '00s.

Obama will be using the same remarks as you to discredit Perry. This will be the exact tactic and it won't work for him either. You have to work hard not to give the governor of any state credit for the economy in that state, especially when he's been governor for 10 years

Do you actually think voters will say "oh gee, he's been governor of Texas for 10 years but Obama said he didn't do anything to generate those jobs"

Then Obama will say "Yeah but Texas has a weak Governors office,all the power rests in the Lt. Governor"

And Perry will say, yeah I was elected as the first Republican Lt. Governor ever elected in Texas.

By the way, alot those Democrats in Texas back in the 70's and 80's became Republicans during the Reagan revolution.
