Actually he governs like a pussified version of Chavez because of his inferiority complex.
I'm sure you would have voted for this guy if he had won the nomination

He wasn't my first choice, but I think Perry would be a decent president. He has a pretty low bar to cross to be an improvement on the last two.
Liberals seem to have this blind spot still that Obama is some kind of magical figure, an intellectual giant and a transformational leader. I honestly just don't see it. I see a guy who has accomplished basically nothing and continues to blame everythng on his predecessor.
The thing that is so dishonest about blaming Bush for the spending is that the democrats actually wanted to spend even more than Bush did. A lot of the spending he went along with was justified as protecting him against attacks that he was too harsh, etc. Of course, the dems will say they would have raised taxes, but in the aftermath of 9/11 that would have been madness, just as it would be now.
