Rick Perry Campaign Ad: Lazy

The Perry campaign today released a 30-second television advertisement, "Lazy," which is airing over national cable and Iowa broadcast and cable.

"As President Obama continues to make excuses for our nation's economic struggles, apologizing for America and disparaging Americans by calling us lazy, soft and un-ambitious, Gov. Perry is offering solutions to reverse the damage inflicted by this out-of-touch administration," said Perry campaign communications director Ray Sullivan. "This ad underscores Gov. Perry's priority to overhaul Washington through common-sense measures including a balanced budget amendment and reducing Congressional salaries."

"Lazy" Script

Video of President Obama: "We've been a little bit lazy I think over the last couple of decades."

Rick Perry: "Can you believe that? That's what our President thinks is wrong with America? That Americans are lazy?"

"That's pathetic. It's time to clean house in Washington."

"It's time for a Balanced Budget Amendment that forces Washington to stop overspending."

"If Congress balks, cut their pay and send them home."

"Obama's socialist policies are bankrupting America. We must stop him now."

"I'm Rick Perry. I approve this message."

@BadenBadenism to assume that they know this is to assume that they know anything about their religion aside from the fact that they worship a man who lived 2000 years ago. And they can't even decide if he's white or black. The only reason these people even know that they are Christian in the first place is because Mommy/Daddy told them so, same goes for the generation prior. There is no faster way to make an atheist out of the faithful then ask them to read their own book.

As retarded as he may be you gotta give the man some credit. His ads are great. He plays his trump cards really well (playing with people's emotion, depicting himself as a strong president).

last bit .... "where they’re seeking assistance from us, to go out there and make it easier for foreign investors to build a plant in the United States and put outstanding U.S. workers back to work in the United States of America"

" -- well, people will want to come here and we aren’t out there hungry, selling America and trying to attract new business into America.

Full quote for context - "I think it’s important to remember that the United States is still the largest recipient of foreign investment in the world. And there are a lot of things that make foreign investors see the U.S. as a great opportunity -- our stability, our openness, our innovative free market culture. But we’ve been a little bit lazy, I think, over the last couple of decades. We’ve kind of taken for granted -- cont...."
