Eliminating the Department of education and turning that responsibility back to the states would be the single best act any sitting president would do to improve the US education ranking, from its current place of #38.
As well as tackling the cost and value of a university degree — on Perry’s radar big-time.
At this point I will be happy so long as anyone other than Paul or Romney gets the nomination.
I’d actually rather have loser McCain than Romney.
We get it! You really like Rick Perry! Unfortunately (for you) it doesn’t look as though he’s headed for the nomination. You may know him better than the rest of us, but for me he’s inarticulate and unsure of himself to the point where I think he would not be an effective leader. That said, if he gets the nomination, he will get my vote in November of 2012.
Yes.
Instapundit suggested that Khan Academy is probably at the forefront of education, by providing videos that are produced by top-notch teachers that anybody can watch over the internet, in reducing the costs of education.
One professor giving a lesson for the entire country. Not 10,000 professors or assistant profs.
Get Perry some great speechwriters and a great public speaking coach if you want him to win.
Looks can be deceiving. And this isn't "for me." Gov. Rick Perry is what the country needs now. He will stop the Marxist march over the cliff, energize the economy, balance the budget, stand with our allies and move power back back to the states.
Keep listening and watching. You must have missed some of his appearances.
Why are you bothered so much by CW posting a piece on Perry ?
And Thomas Jefferson could barely dress himself (seriously!).
The fact is that Perry has a great record as governor and he’s laid out a doable plan to reduce spending by hundreds of billions of dollars.
That is what I see in Rick Perry, too. Debates are not his forte, but when he speaks from the gut-like when he said, Newt's comments about the Palestinians being an invented people was not important. Obama letting the Iranians have our spy drone with no attempt to protect, retrieve, or safeguard our technology was important.
That was the real Rick Perry-passionate, fed up, and telling it like it is in a straight forward fashion.
I was surprised Perry kept his cool on Sunday with Chris Wallace who seemed quite contemptuous of Perry, rather than just a neutral interviewer.
I’m one native New Englander who has zero interest in eating fajitas. Not at all appetizing.
A lot of people have commented on that. You could have cut Wallace's contempt and annoyance with a knife.
Gov. Perry (TX has world's 13th largest economy) is the only candidate that understands what needs to be done, understands how to navigate government -- but wants power returned to the states -- and who will do it!
And the joker we have in there now is........
Right, because someone inarticulate and unsure of himself wouldn't be able to run the 13th largest economy in the world or turn an ordinary state into the thriving, pulsing with with growth and prosperity economic miracle that Texas has become under his watch.......oh wait.....
Perry is a proven leader, just ask all those businesses that are relocating to Texas who talked them into that.
To all those who are against Perry for Pres........He sure as h e l l would better than Buckwheat and his band of merry robbers.
