Newscast Media HOUSTON, Texas --Texas Governor Rick Perry made the big announcement about his intention to run for US president in 2012. A native Texan and conservative politician, Rick Perry is one of the most skilled politicians at running campaigns, and has never lost a race. He will be challenging Obama directly on every issue from the economy, to illegal immigration and healthcare. Perry says if elected he will make Washington inconsequential in our lives, something no other politician has been bold enough to say.
Speeches that convinced observers that Perry would run:

The above excerpts are clear indications that long before his announcement to run for the presidency, Rick Perry was faced with the temptation of running. However, out of the desire to be fair and not breach the trust, this journalist decided not to release these speeches until after Perry made the announcement himself.
In regard to healthcare, Perry personally opposed Obama's healthcare plan and encouraged the Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott to sue Obama's administration for attempting to impose an unacceptable healthcare plan on Texans. The White House suffered a a setback on Ausgust 12, when the Appeals Court for the 11th Circuit, based in Atlanta,ruled that Barack Obama's healthcare law requiring Americans to buy healthcare insurance or face a penalty was unconstitutional, and that Congress exceeded its authority by requiring the economic mandate.
Perry is also known for threatening to secede from the Union if the government tried to break the will of Texans. Perry has several bragging rights too. Texas today is the leading creator of jobs with Dallas-Fortworth as number one in the entire country and Houston, as the second highest job creator. Texas has been the nation's job creation capital, creating more than half of America's net jobs in the past two years alone and more private sector jobs in the last 10 years than any other state.
Perry has also balanced the Texas budget by prioritizing and reducing spending without raising taxes, and has preserved $6 billion dollars in the state's Rainy Day Fund. According to data from the US State Department, that amount is more than the GDP of some third world countries.
Perry has demonstrated that he can grow the economy and create jobs without raising taxes. It wouldn't be surprising to this journalist if Perry picked his friend Sarah Palin as his running-mate in 2012, if he were to succeed in winning the GOP nomination. Add Comments>>
