Texas Gov. and GOP presidential contender Rick Perry released a new campaign video Wednesday, blasting President Obama for a lack of leadership in creating jobs and pointing to Perry as the leader who could turn the economy around.

Powerful video at link.

Wow. Now THAT’S how you do it!!!! Gloves off.

None of the slobbering, limpwristed, namby-pamby McCain approach.

Well done (and I’m saying this of someone who has issues with Perry). Well done.

Perry needs to be careful about perceptions that he might be bullying the Manchild. That could provoke a sympathy backlash.

[Fast Moving Angel]

Sounds like Perry reads FR :-)

It is those of us suffering through Zero’s term that deserve sympathy.

[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

“Sympathy backlash”? How does this generate sympathy? The man is destroying our country.

No, enough of the mealymouthed “New Tone” rubbish. That’s what got us Obama in the first place.

Calling Obama zero may please some people but it’s not the wise thing to do in a Presidential campaign. It will cause more harm than good for Perry’s bid to be president. The American people want a President to be a statesman. Not an individual who engages in playground name calling. George Bush Sr’s numbers dropped noticably when he reffered to Clinton and Gore as “Bozo and the ozone man”

I think it’s a great video, and I would vote for Perry in a split second. But calling Obama “President Zero” too many times, the accuracy of which I agree with, by the way, might not work well with the mushy middle. Just sayin’.

Finally, someone with grit! Perry in 2012!

[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

“might not work well with the mushy middle.”

I disagree.

[nhwingut]

Awesome ad.

Your forgot to put sarcasm at the end of your statement....Being a statesman certainly helped McCain the last time around didn't it? Oh and Obama is certainly a statesman too.....

[Mase]

Marxists play by a different set of rules. They have no rules. When dealing with thugs like Obama and his union minions, you'd better understand that you're in a street fight. McCain was clueless. Clearly, Perry is not. I want someone who can win and will kick this SOB out of the White House. We'd better choose someone who knows how to be ruthless. 2012 is going to be ugly. Marxists don't like giving up their power. See the Iron Law of Oligarchy. Perry appears to be the only candidate so far who understands what we're up against.

not the wise thing to do in a Presidential campaign

A President Barack Hussein Obama could never have been elected during George Bush Sr's term. The times have rapidly changed and "compassionate Conservatism" got us here. It's time for some straight talk. No one has ever argued that Rick Perry was not a statesman. He oozes leadership from every pore. The President Zero soundbite is resonating with more than just Republicans, too. This is something that, now said out loud, is going to stick, especially with the synergy of Obama's big "O" burned into everyone's memory.

[Genoa]

I’m just saying that Perry needs to avoid being too dark and scary-looking. It could be counterproductive. Reagan did well because people liked him, even when he was skewering his opponents. He knew how to use gentle humor to nail the liberals to the wall.

Love it. The Obama line “I’m just getting started” is enough to scare anybody.

The mealy mouth types meed to get out of the way. This is going to be the most vicious campaign in history. The Libs have already said it. Yet we aren't allowed to get tough with Obama, and not even personally. Please!
