Energetic.

This is Perry's Hail Mary. A desperate attempt to regain relevance by appealing to the Tea Party. I'm guessing he feels if he can get the crazy anti-government faction of the tea party excited he can get some momentum.

I wonder if perry can name 3 things he likes about the U.S. government?

Not out loud, but a lot of those jobs he likes to brag about creating were the result of stimulus money.

Restart it with some Regulations on it that make a bit of sense; no more venture capital ploys (with other peoples money) ala Solyndra.

Or killing jobs: http://finance.townhall.com/columni...as_new_job_plan_kill_400,000_jobs_immediately

I should have known this all came down to Obama Derangement.

The 400,000 jobs mentioned in the article I linked to above is the tip of the iceberg of how many jobs Obama is blocking in the US. The formation in CO, UT and WY referred to is called the Green River Formation and is contains the same type of reserves as the Kreal in Canada from which the oil slated to flow through the Keystone Pipeline will come. Most of this lies under Federal Land so the production from this formation would also pay a handsome royalty to the US Treasury if it were produced. At a 20% royalty on 4 trillion barrels at today's prices that amounts to $72 trillion dollars in revenue without raising taxes on anyone. We would also save more than $540 billion per year in foreign oil purchases and keep the jobs and the money here.

But who would want to do that? If one does, neither Obama, nor any democrat, should be the voters choice in 2012.

RAPE THE LAND! Rape all of it! Leave nothing for the future! Think not of climate change! We need jobs! JOBS! JOBS!

We need them because the "Job Creating 1%" are on strike until we give them even more tax breaks and maybe a new shiny Tonka Truck for their sandbox.

If the job creating 1% are so skilled and magical, I say we strip them of all but $1M and then see how many of them can do it a second time.

Uh oh. The meltdown has reached the earth's core and is headed for China:


Right Rick. All by yourself, you're going to rip up the Constitution and rewrite it more to your liking. But I must admit, you've done something I didn't think possible: Made Michelle Bachmann look relatively smart.

I heard a snippet on NPR this morning of Perry saying we needed to "uproot the branches". Does he not know how trees work, either?

I believe the exact quote was,

Uproot the branches, Trim the roots, and prune the cactuses {sic} of federal government.

Seeing as how he has spent his entire adult life employed by the government in either a military role or as a public servant we can be certain that he likes government. So that gets us stimulus money, government employment, and something else....
