Hey Rick Perry Do you think Americans are stupid enough to buy your Job creation Myth?? Nop I don’t think so. You Hypocrite balanced the Texas budget since 2009 by using Obama’s TARP Money. Aren’t you a hypocrite. Then you blamed Obama for spending and criticized Obama for his Bailout and for his Stimulus money. You are a crook and a hypocrite. Americans are not stupid enough to buy your job creation theory. Your friends in Texas raised the price of Oil barrel so that all Americans can suffer because of their greed which created some jobs and Obama helped you to hire more federal employees by using his TARP Money. You are one of the governor who wrote letter to Ben Bernanke begging for TARP Money and now you are warning him and threatening him who helped you to have the TARP money. You are a big Liar, Hypocrite and Executioner of an Innocent man.
Anderson Cooper: Gov Perry’s Jobs Claim Is Hampered By ‘Advantages Unique To Texas’
The crown jewel of the Gov. Rick Perry presidential campaign so far appears to be the great number of jobs created in the state during his tenure. On his program tonight, Anderson Cooper splashed some cold water on the claim by showing both President Obama and Perry “created jobs,” but, unlike on a national level, Perry benefited from an extraordinary population growth that created great demand for jobs. “The idea that one creates, the other destroys them is a stretch, at best,” he argued.
Castellano also added– though as a detriment to the campaign for obvious reasons– that Perry had asked from TARP money from none other than Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. On those incendiary comments Perry made accusing Bernanke of treason, Castellanos ceded that “a president is someone who has their finger on that nuclear button,” and comments like that “scare swings voters.” Brazile agreed the comments were a “big mistake” that voters should be concerned about, the panel apparently agreeing Perry’s comments could possibly do more damage than hyperbole on the jobs situation.

The Truth About Rick Perry's 'Texas Miracle'
Rick Perry is a miracle-maker, but only if you ask Rick Perry. The Texas governor has traversed three early-primary states in the week since he announced his candidacy for president, touting Texas's job growth as the "Texas miracle."
And by some measures, Perry is right. Texas's economic growth is outpacing every other state in the country. In fact, the Lone Star State is growing at twice the national average.
A widely-cited report from the Dallas Federal Reserve shows that 37 percent of all the jobs created since 2009 were created in the Lone Star state. In fact, Texas has 30,800 more jobs today than it did in December 2007, before the recession began.
The Lone Star State is rich in natural resources such as oil and natural gas, so when the rest of the country was struggling with high energy prices at the onset of the recession, Texas companies were turning big profits and, therefore, pumping tax revenue into the state coffers.
These high energy profits helped Texas stave off the brunt of the recession for about six months.
And while the state's economy is growing at twice the national rate, so is its population. Texas grew 20.6 percent from 2000 to 2011, while the country's population only increased by 9.7 percent. With more people comes more purchasing power, which leads to job growth.
