We were assured by a lib here that 47% of recent govt jobs were
created in Texas. Of couse the same guy told us that Kenya is in
Australia.
So, in the universe in which I live where Kenya is in AFRICA, here is
what CNN (no friend of Rick Perry) says:

"Construction jobs, for instance, have grown by 5.4% in the past year,
according to the center. Employment in professional services is up
4.5% and in the hospitality business by 3%. Only the government and
information technology sectors have seen drops, of 1.4% and 5%,
respectively.

"Texas has fared better than most of the nation," said Terry Clower,
who directs the Center for Economic Development and Research at the
University of North Texas. "Private sector job creation has been
pretty strong compared to most other states."

Note, that govt jobs dropped in Texas while Professional services went
up 4.5%. Govt jobs cannot account for 47% of new govt jobs while
dropping 1.4% unless Texas is really getting rid of govt jobs and
refilling them at a rate less than they eliminate them.

Further note that Obama friendly CNN says in the above paragraph that:
"Private sector job creation has been pretty strong compared to most
other states."

Maybe, just maybe, in the universe where Kenya is in Australia, Obama
really is a genius.........However, we do not live in that universe.

But the lefties here will swear he "is" a genius. It reminds me of a old
inbred family locally I knew as a kid. Real honest to goodness hicks...
They had one son who was huge and strong and worked very hard to support
his brother and parents who were not healthy, and one son who sat
drooling in the corner of the house, most times with a 22 caliber he
would fire out the window at whatever might be in the yard, or even the
occasional visitor. I had to take cover once myself when he forgot who I
was rumbling down the long driveway to visit his brother... The family
however swore the drooler was the genius in the family and the other
(the one who actually ran the family business was "slow" and useless...
Total patronization and denial.. Sounds like most of the Progressives
here... Just not sure if they are the parents, or the droolers...
