A couple of things: Like him or not, this is the best speech any 2012 GOP candidate as delivered to date. First, he hammers Obama with Obama's own words and deeds. Second, the speech was very focused on the economy and jobs. Third, the speech was very upbeat about America's potential. It was Reaganesque. People will respond to this. A big difference between Perry and Bush is that Perry wasn't born with a silver foot in his mouth. He was the son of a tenant farmer (someone who farms property owned by others). I really dislike privileged people in public office, whether its the Bush's, Kennedy's or anyone else.

" I wanna take a moment... I want to ask you to just take a silence..." WTH? Bush redux.
Funny thing is the Bush machine hates him because he's made critical remarks about the Boy Blunder.
That is funny. They're almost identical, aren't they?
I guess you just don't criticize GWB in Texas.
Perry '01 - 'Fox's vision for an open border is a vision I embrace' In a 2001 Border Summit speech, Governor Perry described to fellow border governors and others in attendance the amount of poverty : President Fox’s vision for an open border is a vision I embrace, as long as we demonstrate the will to address the obstacles to it. An open border means poverty has given way to opportunity, and Mexico’s citizens do not feel compelled to cross the border to find that opportunity. It means we have addressed pollution concerns, made substantial progress in stopping the spread of disease, and rid our crossings of illicit drug smuggling activity. Clearly we have a long way to go in addressing those issues. At the same time we must continue to deepen our economic ties, expanding opportunities for Mexican and U.S. companies to do business on both sides of the border. The outlook is promising, even if the road to prosperity is a long one. We share a bond as neighbors, and we find our culture north of the Rio Grande to be increasingly defined by the strong traits of people of Hispanic descent. Texas has long enjoyed a unique identity, an identity forged by an independent spirit, and the convergence of many different peoples. We must welcome change in the 21st Century as we have in every century before it. www.washingtontimes.com/b...n-open-border-vision-i-e/ Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
Perry should run for president of Mexico.
