Thats what the Obama campaigns top political strategist told me this morning when I asked him about the latest 2012 candidate, Rick Perry. The Texas Governor made it clear his campaign will focus on his states record of job growth Texas created more jobs than any other state since the recession.
When you examine the entire record whats happened to education in that state, whats happened to health care in that state, its a record of decimation not of progress, David Axelrod told me.
I dont think the picture of Texas is what people want for the country when you look at the whole array of things that happened there, he said.
Texas record of job creation has more to do with profits from the oil industry, a growing military and receiving aid from the Recovery Act, according to Axelrod.
The Obama advisor spoke to me from Ames, Iowa where he was keeping a close eye on the other debate amongst the other eight candidates. He refused to bite when I asked him who won and instead painted the Republicans on stage as catering to the Tea Party.

And here we go.
The White Hut has started the smear campaign against Perry. Who would ‘decimate’ Obama in the General.
Axelrod is so full of Obama his eyes are brown.
Oh, you wanna make health care an issue for debate?? Considering some of the best care in the country is right here in Houston, Texas.
I mean, if Houston's medical facilities are good enough for Gabbie Giffords...
yeh axelrod- your boy obama’s record of doubling unemployment, tripling the deficit and watching health costs spiral out of control is a real sign of progress...these people get more ignorant by the day but the GOP better have henchmen ready to cut them down...
abc Snooze, Axelrod and Stephanopoulos trashing a Republican. So what else is new?
In other words, Perry kept spending low or cut it. He didn't jump on every new entitlement. Axelrod must want Perry to be the GOP nominee. Stuff like this is music to conservatives' ears.
However, the civic pathologies that show weaknesses in Texas' economy and social order are obviously a result of too many illegal aliens.
Axelrod is known to be in favor of open borders himself, and he would inflict those same civic pathologies on the entire country if he had half a chance.
I think it's going to be easier for Perry to change his mind about the utility of having more illegal aliens than it will be for Obama to run for office again. And Axelrod? He should get a job some place where he can be loved for what he is.
This Goebbels’s spawn should shut his lying mouth. Piece of human garbage.
Imagine that!!! When the oil industry profits, jobs are created... Maybe Axelrod should study his own words next time for a clue as to how to create jobs.
The only decimation I see is the ENTIRE U.S.A. with Zero at the helm.
That employment picture is abysmal for Americans.
For every single charge Ax throws out there, he’d better understand that it will get thrown back into his face BY THE BUCKETFUL.
*I’d say in spades (American colloquialism) but why give them more ammo as they would twist that innocuous retort.
Perry is a threat to Democrat plans to co-opt the Hispanic Vote.
HE MUST BE DESTROYED. Watch how vile they get towards him as soon as he Delcares.
Watch Daily Kos and the Daily Show for the attack lines. They ALWAYS start there.
Why do DNC spokesmen, especially Axelrod, resemble weasels?
It seems to me to be a requirement. I can just see Ax with a peak cap and that mustache and a lightening insignia on his lapel.
~Little fascist weasels slinking all over the primetime news.
Well, NO, he isn’t, but keep toting that bucket of propaganda for the democrats. This is not new either.

lol
total fail attack my Obama’s minions.
Speaking of decimation, it was Obama who decided to deny Houston on of the Shuttles and has effectively shut down the US space program.
As opposed to this fat, socialist, weasel.
